Posted June 11, 2018 Who's watching the conference live tonight/tomorrow morning, then? With DMC 5 being shown at the Xbox presser, I'm hoping that we get to see a Resident Evil 2 remake trailer and the Onimusha trademark renewal leads to something to be shown here. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted June 11, 2018 I don't think there's anything that could annoy me about Sony's conference. Honestly, my PS4 backlog is so big that they could skip E3 and I probably still would not have caught up by this time next year. For me, they can show anything tonight and everything will be gravy. Besides, Microsoft already showed me a bunch of games I'll be playing on my PS4. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 11, 2018 There will always be games coming out for the PS4, so nothing will actually happen if not much gets shown later. It'll just mean that those games get shown another time, or the third parties will fill in the gap. I'm just watching (tomorrow, not live) because it's E3 and it's the thing to do, I suppose. There's not much riding on this conference, imo. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They are very much living up the past. Clearly gaming itself isnt a big priority. Their acquisitions werent big at all. The games were the same old and mostly showcasing lots of PS4 3rd party games does not paint them in a strong position. With their acqusition of github they are focused on relationships with businesses(their strength kind of). They have never been a great consumer company. This conference fully cements that we wont see major change but they are willing to put up as many smoke and mirrors as possible. You can keep waiting though. They are going to have a crushing transition to next gen with the way they are going. Edited June 11, 2018 by Choze Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

"50 New Games. 18 Exclusive Titles. 15 World Premieres" Their entire conference was about games, literally nothing else in it. They even talked about game streaming in the future (not the first publisher to do so), not to mention teasing their next generation games console. They made some big mistakes at the start of the generation but Phil Spencer coming on board has absolutely steadied the ship. Backwards compatibility is a big thing for Xbox fans and Game Pass seems a pretty great deal. At a time when I personally couldn't care less about my PS+ expiring. I know it's fashionable to hate on things in gaming, eg. Microsoft, but I think credit where credit's due. Reading up on E3, most seem to agree they had a great showing for the position they're in.

They are going to have a crushing transition to next gen with the way they are going. A minor nitpick, they didn't show PS4 3rd party games, they showed 3rd party games. I'm also not sure how you can say their acquisitions weren't big. The proof will be in the pudding, the point is it's a step in the right direction.

Posted June 11, 2018 From the man who says they're going to crash into next gen, having just acquired/created 5 new studios? Or that gaming itself wasn't a priority for their showing, after announcing 50 games and talking about nothing else but games? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted June 12, 2018 (edited) Last of us 2 probably stole the show. Spiderman looked great too. 3rd party wise: Nioh 2 was a surprise. Black Ops 3 free for Plus users for 2 days? Edited June 12, 2018 by Choze Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 12, 2018 That was a super weird conference. Last Of Us was a really strong start and looks great but that transition where they just sat at a desk outside for 15 mins while the audience switched locations was a huge lull. Never seen anything quite so bizarre in a press conference. The second half definitely made up for it though, the deep dives were really interesting for Ghost Of Tsushima, Death Stranding and even Spider-Man looked good to me and I have no love for that character at all so that's quite an achievement. I would have liked some more third party stuff but the two big reveals we had were great, very excited to finally play RE2 in January. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Especially if they end up great. My twitch feed crashed with Destiny 2. Edited June 12, 2018 by Choze Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 15, 2018 Question: If I log in on my mate's PS4 as a guest via the PS App, could I download games from my account to his console and play them as long as I'm logged in? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Think you need to make your PS4 as primary PS4 first before you can log on your mate's ps4 as guest but you should able to download your games on it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Indeed but I imagine this range, much like past platinum ranges, are for the less savvy gamer or parents looking to buy a cheap game for their kids. There are a couple of games on the list that I will need to pick up before the boxes change. Can't be having those kinds of things in my gaming collection. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
