Okay, so MS, EA, and Ubisoft had conferences today, and now the day ends with Sony... and... uh, yeah, they're going all out.
They started with a gameplay video of The Last Guardian. Yes, it's real, and dated for "2016". It looks like a PS3 game, really. Could be decent, but I'll need to see more actual gameplay.
Then they showed a new shooter / monster (robot) hunting game, or something, from Guerilla. It's a new IP called Hunt-something and looks good; female protagonist, far-future post-apocalyptic setting with humans with swords and bows and stuff fighting against robots.
Then after a while... Final Fantasy VII Remake. Yes, it's real. It's not Sony-exclusive, though; it's "first on Playstation". There's a trailer, but I don't know about a release date, so this could take a while...
On a less interesting note, they also showed another FF game which is called "World of Final Fantasy" and has chibi characters. It is apparently "console only on PS4 and PS Vita", which makes me think... mobile game. Or at least PC. Who knows.
Then... Shenmue III Kickstarter. Yes, a kickstarter, not an actual game, no game company will fund the game. $2 million goal, with stretch goals up to $4 million, so it's asking a lot of money... https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/ysnet/shenmue-3 but it's amazing that this is actually a thing.
They've promised more, but we'll see.
