Sheikah Posted June 16, 2015 Posted June 16, 2015 Sony had an utterly insane presentation... The Last Guardian, FFVII and Shenmue 3. Before even mentioning the rest... Absolutely fucking crazy. That's how you do an E3.
drahkon Posted June 16, 2015 Posted June 16, 2015 But that Uncharted 4 fail... Sony should stop doing live conferences...:p
Daft Posted June 16, 2015 Posted June 16, 2015 The Uncharted 4 presentation was everything the Tomb Raider one was not. It looked superb. Seriously, Firewatch though...I was praying this game would come to PS4. So happy when I saw it. Absolutely cannot wait.
Kav Posted June 16, 2015 Posted June 16, 2015 Holy crap I wish I stayed up to watch this now, never mind being up early for work... Shenmue 3?!!! Fuck yeah!!!! Sony have killed it right there!
nekunando Posted June 16, 2015 Posted June 16, 2015 Hmm.. games like Uncharted 4, The Last Guardian and Shenmue III mean I may eventually have to pick up a PS4 at some point in the future
Shorty Posted June 16, 2015 Posted June 16, 2015 What was the Uncharted fail? Just how long it took to start? I just skipped through it tbh.
Happenstance Posted June 16, 2015 Posted June 16, 2015 What was the Uncharted fail? Just how long it took to start? I just skipped through it tbh. They couldnt control Nathan Drake when it transitioned from the cutscene.
Daft Posted June 16, 2015 Posted June 16, 2015 Looked like the controller wasn't connecting, as soon as the demo started Drake just stood there. So they switched to a back-up pre-recoded video that they must have done earlier. Edit: What Happenstance said.
Shorty Posted June 16, 2015 Posted June 16, 2015 Ah, that kinda thing doesn't bother me. In a way, I'm more impressed that it was intended to be real live gameplay, rather than just pretending.
Happenstance Posted June 16, 2015 Posted June 16, 2015 I felt sorry for the guy running the demo as it cut to him at the very end with his name on screen, obviously to show that it was a real demo and he just kind of shrugged and walked off lol
DriftKaiser Posted June 16, 2015 Posted June 16, 2015 Don't forgot about the PS Media Player which are already out and you can use your HDD or DNLA to watch your pirated videos haha. Games I want to buy: Uncharted 1-3 Remastered and Uncharted 4. NMS Horizon the Game Persona 5 Mass Effect Andromeda Destiny Taken King expansion. (Possible Digital DLC instead of buy the Legendary Edition) Games I might consider to buy: FF7 Remastered NFS Star Wars Battlefront
dazzybee Posted June 16, 2015 Posted June 16, 2015 God I can't wait for uncharted... But never liked FF7, and although I'm looking forward to Shemue, it's a pretty disgusting way to fund the game!! Will any of this be out before E3 2016?
Goafer Posted June 16, 2015 Posted June 16, 2015 although I'm looking forward to Shemue, it's a pretty disgusting way to fund the game!! If there's better way to fund a game that was a financial flop on a dying console 14 years ago and was only played by a relatively small (albeit passionate) amount of people, im sure Yu Suzuki would love to hear it. Fans themselves have been calling for them to make a Kickstarter campaign for years now. I still have a hard time beleiving it. It's just unreal. I've been excited at game reveals before, bit this is the first time I've been genuinely emotional. It's silly I know, but I had accepted the fact that I'd never know the end of the story, but to hear that it's now coming out is like being told that a friend has been brought back from the dead.
Sheikah Posted June 16, 2015 Posted June 16, 2015 I really don't get the comments about Shenmue's funding being 'disgusting'. How the fuck is paying £18.54 up front disgusting compared to £40-50 when it is released? Do people just not like maths or something? The funny thing is that you can obviously still buy the game when it comes out instead of paying now.
dazzybee Posted June 16, 2015 Posted June 16, 2015 If Sony thought it was such big news to bleat about in their conference why aren't they funding it?! I can't believe people are okay with stuff like this... And i't snot about me personally, it's not about feeling like I have to fund it personally and obviously can wait (no idea where that even can from) I just find the practice of this quite disgusting. Kickstarter is becoming an easy place for rich people to get stuff funded for free, with the funders taking all the risk, and get no financial benefit. I think Sony putting into the conference as a big thing made it even worse, just felt phenomenal cheeky to me! Imagine Nintendo announcing F Zero U, kickstarter campaign starting just after the direct...
Daft Posted June 16, 2015 Posted June 16, 2015 As @Happenstance and various other people have said, the $2 million is most likely a proof of interest. The'll get more money from other places. Probably Sony, too. And for $29 you essentially pre-order your copy of the game. Is that really that weird? $29 seems pretty cheap for a game. If only Nintendo started a kickstarter campaign for the games we actually wanted. If only.
drahkon Posted June 16, 2015 Posted June 16, 2015 Imagine Nintendo announcing F Zero U, kickstarter campaign starting just after the direct... Well, it would probably be even more of a success than Shenmue III, so...I don't get your point.

If only Nintendo started a kickstarter campaign for the games we actually wanted. If only. Fine if people like it, just feels like an easy way to get free money for me, I like kickstarter, a lot, but when big artists and companies get involved it just feels wrong. But fair enough. Trust me, however much I wanted a new F Zero and Wave Race I'd be equally disgusted by a kickstarter to make them happen. Kickstart should be for independent artists!! Well, it would probably be even more of a success than Shenmue III, so...I don't get your point. It's not about success, it's about huge companies and successful artists getting free money from the public.
drahkon Posted June 16, 2015 Posted June 16, 2015 It's not about success, it's about huge companies and successful artists getting free money from the public. The public gets something in return...so it's not really free?

I think Sony putting into the conference as a big thing made it even worse, just felt phenomenal cheeky to me! Imagine Nintendo announcing F Zero U, kickstarter campaign starting just after the direct... No financial benefit, really? It's being offered for a fraction of the price it'll realistically be sold for at retail through kickstarter. That is, factually, a financial benefit. The comparison to F-Zero doesn't work at all. F-Zero is a Nintendo game while this isn't a Sony game. Ergo, Sony would have to offer a lot of money to get full exclusivity, an amount they probably couldn't justify. This way is better for everyone; stretch goals mean more people may get it, and the price is cheaper. Sony are obviously backing it so will help see it is released.
drahkon Posted June 16, 2015 Posted June 16, 2015 I am going do disrupt this discussion with this: What we've (or rather I've) seen so far at E3: Games announced/talked about/shown in the conference Horizon: Zero Dawn Street Fighter V No Man's Sky Dreams Final Fantasy VII Remaster Shenmue III Hitman Uncharted 4 World of Final Fantasy Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 Devlover Digital Games Reel RIGS Until Dawn Firewatch Destiny - The Taken King The Last Guardian Assassins Creed Syndicate Games coming to PS4 that have been announced/talked about/shown in other conferences Trackmania Turbo Mass Effect Andromeda Need For Speed Star Wars Battlefront For Honor The Division Unravel Just Dance 2016 RainbowSix Siege Ghost Recon Wildlands South Park: The Fractured But Whole Mirror's Edge Catalyst NBA Live 16 Beyond Eyes FIFA 16 Plants vs. Zombies Garden Warfare 2 Even though we don't know release dates for most of them, yet...this line-up is damn impressive. Hoping to see a lot of Indie announcements soon.
Daft Posted June 16, 2015 Posted June 16, 2015 So what are the big PS4 releases for the end of 2015? Destiny: The Taken King Fallout 4 MGS The Phantom Pain Mad Max Assassin's Creed Black Ops Star Wars Battlefront Hmmm...no exclusives but slightly less bothered because of the multiplatforms games.
dazzybee Posted June 16, 2015 Posted June 16, 2015 Yeah, it's not the right thread for it, was just really surprised I guess. It's all about Battlefield for me. I'm a sucker for any Star Wars game, never mind one that looks as good as this!!! If there's voice chat in this game and people don't do voices which reflect their character, I'm changing lobby!
somme Posted June 16, 2015 Posted June 16, 2015 I'm terrible at Battlefront/Battlefield type games but having it set in the Star Wars universe... I don't care how rubbish I am. Day one
Goafer Posted June 16, 2015 Posted June 16, 2015 It's not about success, it's about huge companies and successful artists getting free money from the public. I would agree with you on this if it were actually true for Shenmue. Shenmue 3 is far from a guaranteed success for the reasons I mentioned in my previous post (14 year gap, financial flop, dying console etc). It would be almost impossible to convince a company to financially back Shenmue 3. Hell, I wouldn't if I were in their position and I am jonesing hard for it. I imagine Yu Suzuki has tried and failed many a time. Turning to Kickstarter has raised some of the money it needs and shown potential investors that the demand is there (and boy is it). I'll admit it is a bit cheeky for Sony to feature it, but let's face it, it was never going to be shown unless someone had it in their show. I'm just thankful it wasn't Nintendo, otherwise no one would play it (althought it would be fitting for it to appear on another dying console #loljokes)
