... And then the second half of the conference was weaker. There were no more major announcements, just stuff about games we already knew about, and then it finished with... a Uncharted 4 demo that didn't work. They had to reboot it right at the beginning (controller wasn't working), and maybe just play it as a video, instead of play it live? Heh...
- To talk about a few more of the things shown, No Man's Sky was at the conference too. It looks like a product that is not for people who want to play a game... it is for people who want to experience life, explore, find things, and shoot at them if you want. It's massive with no real clear gameplay hook unless you LOVE near-purposeless exploration, a 100% procedurally generated world, and such. Is it a game? Yes... but there's barely any point to it. This is not a game for me design-wise, that's obvious. Also no date was mentioned for release, for those who are interested in the game.
- Street Fighter V is shown. The game apparently will be a true exclusive on the PS4, but it looks SO much like SFIV, will this really be worth a full new number?
- They also spend quite a bit of time showing third-party multiplatform games -- Battlefront, Disney Infinity 3.0 (with an overly-excited guy), CoD: Black Ops 3, etc.
- For issues, the biggest one is that Sony has almost nothing this year, and they did not fix that issue at ALL in this press confrence. TLG is 2016. FFVII Remake is date unknown. Shenmue III is years away. Sony showed almost nothing that's actually releasing this year, which is their biggest issue -- they showed great stuff, but most of it is third party, and most isn't exclusive.
