If Sony skips E3 next year and does their own thing, then I'll see that as an unequivocal sign that E3 is on the decline. Otherwise, yeah, I think it's still relevant.
The only sore point is that Double Fine aren't on PS platforms anymore, beyond Psychonauts 2 and Knights & Bikes. Otherwise, there was nothing in that conference that'll make Sony sweat. Looks like they made a wise decision in skipping E3 after all.
@johncalmc Nah, I think the Microsoft conference is going to be a winner. Especially since they have their pick of the litter concerning third-party game announcements.
When DayZ was announced for the PS4, we hadn't even heard of Days Gone yet, and Days Gone feels like it was announced an aeon ago. Yet Days Gone still managed to come out before DayZ, which makes one question why exactly it took so long for DayZ to be ported over when the far more ambitious Days Gone supposedly spent less days in development. This is something I'll be mulling over for the dayz to come.
I know Days Gone is already deemed commercially successful and all that, but I'm agreed with Sammy in that the world doesn't really feel like it needs a sequel. Days Gone just doesn't stand out enough to warrant it. But imagine what a current-gen Syphon Filter with big production values and lots of in-depth stealth mechanics could do, and how much of a breath of fresh air it would be. It gets my blood pumping just thinking about it.
If Devolver's conference is a reason to stay excited then I'm giving E3 a wide berth this year. Their schtick is basically a Tim & Eric sketch without the laughs.
I'd have had Detroit at the top spot personally. Can't believe how good that game looks on current-gen hardware. It really is like having an early glimpse into the PS5.
I wouldn't be surprised if PSN buckles under the weight of so many people trying to buy this when it goes live tomorrow. £25 for the whole game is an absolute bargian.
Is Sony deliberately trying to make itself look bad as this gen comes to a close? When you look at how Sony and Microsoft were perceived back in 2013, it's like a total reversal of roles now.
I feel bad for the StarBlood Arena devs. I'm sure they put a lot of work into the game, and at the flick of a switch Sony will render it completely unplayable soon. That's not right.
If Sony has even the slightest bit of sense, they won't let Sid Shuman anywhere near this thing. It's a fact that once he appears in front of a camera, the show itself declines in quality by a metric of 10,000 fathoms.
In fact, just keep the forced smiles and empty PR talk to an absolute minimum. Based on PSX's Couchgate and the disaster in formatting that was last year's E3, nobody wants to see PlayStation's social team shoot the s**t with each other in the most strained way possible.

Poor Push Square. Sony's giving you guys next-to-nothing to do during E3 this year.

Ouch. I take it season two isn't having nearly the same impact as the first? I know it's barely been a blip on my radar.

That's not sarcasm by the way.
