Microsoft's was pretty good, Square's was fantastic, and Nintendo stole the show. Everything else was mediocre at best.

Was there ever any doubt? Are there actually rumors or rumblings about stopping E3?

It's definitely still relevant. Millions of people still watch E3 and headlines are still a big deal. It's the one time of the year that my friends who don't follow gaming at all actually come up to me and say, "yo, did you see that new game announced yesterday?" That being said, it isn't the be-all end-all show it used to be back in the day. Companies are gradually spreading game reveals and information throughout the year rather than put everything into one showing. So yeah, E3 might not be as big of a deal as it once was, but it's still relevant and probably will continue to be.

I thought Microsoft's conference was enjoyable but nothing amazing. Most of the titles we already knew about and there were a lot more cinematics than actual gameplay. Bethesda's conference was a snooze fest for me. Hoping Ubisoft and Square have solid shows. And Nintendo I am beyond hyped for. Still wish Sony had a conference but it's all good.

Wow. This is an amazing month for me. Both of these games were on my to-buy list for a while now but I just never got around to getting them. Super hyped!

It would be awesome if this game released this holiday season, but as others as said, I'm not holding my breath. This game has PS5 written all over it and I'm not sure if they could finish the remaining work on this title before 2020. We'll just have to wait and see.

@Quintumply Wow, that seems pretty interesting! I'll definitely be looking into it!

@Rob_230 We can dream lol

Overcooked is definitely a welcome game. Only issue is I have one PS4 controller!

Game looks really good and I'll probably be picking it up. Still seems like a bit of a step down from Transformed but hey, maybe the Team mechanic will be more interesting than I'm expecting. Love me a good kart racer.

@SKC_Diamond I thought it was something to do with Scooby-Doo just from seeing "Zoink" haha.

I rarely see people say a 7 is a bad score these days. I see more people freaking out about the subject like this lol. Are there really that many people on Metacritic giving it a 7 and saying the game isn't good?

Whelp, that was just about review and score I was expecting. It looks technically impressive and looks like it has some fun elements to it, but it just doesn't do much to distance itself enough from other open-world or zombie-style games for me. I might pick it up down the road when it's a bit cheaper but I have many other games to play throughout the next few months.

I got my first 4K TV about 5 months ago. I don't watch much cable aside from sports games, so I've been able to make some great use of 4K with Netflix, YouTube, and of course my PS4 Pro. Content looks terrific... so good that I don't see a reason to get a higher resolution anytime soon.

I'm actually glad. I mean, it's kind of necessary for some PSVR games and I'm not opposed to them for some party games or unique single player titles. I hope there will be a good sports title similar to Wii Sports or something. Could be some good fun if I ever pick up a PSVR with the motion controllers.

I'm finally graduating college soon and have a job lined up. For the first time in my life I can say that I'll be able to buy a system day one without worrying much about cost. Whew, that's relieving to say.

That being said, I'm guessing the system will cost $500 at launch. It has an 8-core processor and I'm assuming the system will target full native 4K resolutions. Plus, since this is Sony, they will probably throw some gimmick into the next Dualshock to make it more expensive. Anyways, I'm excited!

Hyped. I love my PS4 Pro and am excited for a few games, but I'm pretty tech savy and would love a console that can run all games at a native 4K with HDR. 2020 is going to be awesome.

I'll be changing mine soon. My account name was created back when I was in middle school. My name wasn't offensive or bad or anything but I kind of want it changed to something I use more now.

I used to like some of the older Assassin's Creed games but I tried Odyssey last holiday season and didn't like it much. The game felt much slower paced and all of the enemies would take forever to die as they out-leveled me all of the time. Side missions were boring and felt like obligatory detours to level up. If I was a kid I could see myself liking it a lot more, but as an adult without much time to game anymore, I got bored and traded it in. Not a bad game, just not for me, sadly. Which is a shame because I love Greek Mythology.

As interesting as a viking game sounds, I'm probably going to pass if it falls under the same structure as Odyssey.

@JJ2 Jeez, I didn't say the PS4 had a bad year or wasn't great. It's just everyone is so quick to jump on the "Xbox is trash" bandwagon and not pay respects to the good games it offers. It's just my opinion, no need to get so defensive over me thinking the Xbox had one single year that was slightly better than PS4.

I actually never beat any of the games. I only own Borderlands 2 on Steam as my friends pressured me to get it with them all the way back in high school. I played through maybe 20% of the game with them but then we just kind of stopped. It was fun but I'd like to play through the entire series alone and pay attention to the story this time. Might pick up the Handsome Collection and the original re-release sometime this summer to play them on my PS4 in 4K with the new updates!

@Gumbopudding I too am leaning toward finally picking one up. I start my full-time job this summer so as soon as I see a good sale I might crack down and get one. For some reason VR golf seems awesome to me!

@Knuckles-Fajita I'd say the Xbox One shined in 2015. Not saying the PS4 had a bad 2015, but it's biggest game, Uncharted 4, got delayed until 2016. Plus a lot of the "big" PS4 games of that year were remakes or ports. Meanwhile, Xbox users got:

• Halo 5
• Forza 6
• Gears of War Ultimate Edition
• Rare Replay
• Rise of the Tomb Raider (timed exclusive)
• Ori and the Blind Forest

Ignoring Mario Maker and Bloodborne, I think I spent the most time on Microsoft exclusives that year... which might be the only year I could say that! Forza, Ori, and Tomb Raider kept me quite busy that holiday season!

I'd definitely get this if I had VR. Virtual chocolates sound too good to be true.

On a serious note, VR golf sounds like a ton of fun. Maybe I'll have to indulge in a VR headset next time it goes on sale.

I thought it was fine. Crash Team Racing and Days Gone look great as always. And even though I don't have PSVR, the support for it was nice to see. There's definitely room for improvement but I didn't think it was bad. There have been a lot of duds with Nintendo Directs too so I'm not even the least bit concerned.

It's ergonomically more like the Switch Pro controller and most controllers have some form of a capture button these days. I wouldn't say this is copying. And even if so, each company has been copying the best features of its rivals for years. That's why the Dualshock 4 is the first major revision for Playstation controllers (other than the introduction of analogue sticks) and the controllers all look similar this generation.

The game does look a lot better. There's a good chance I'll be picking it up since I enjoyed Transformed so much. I'm sure it's not as good but hey, hopefully I'm wrong!

This color scheme is awesome. I don't really need a second controller but if I ever feel like I need one, it'll be between this and the all white.

Downloaded it earlier. This update didn't do much for me. I don't care about subtitles unless I'm playing with friends talking over the game. I do think the motion blur is too strong but there is no option to lower it, only to remove it entirely, so I just kept it on after trying the game without it. Load times seem much faster, though. Glad for those who want to remove the blur or need subtitles!

I'd only ever buy a disc-less console if it was the only version of the system available. Otherwise I would never consider it.

Wow. I haven't played a Call of Duty game in so long. The only games I really played were World at War and the original two Modern Warfares back in the day. For the first time in years, I'm actually super stoked to play Call of Duty.

I've also heard good things about The Witness so perhaps I'll go that a go.

Pretty much sums up my thoughts from the beta. It was like they made this glorious tech demo with cool flying mechanics, then just threw the rest of the game together mindlessly within a few months. I'm overexagerating, naturally, but it was basically a game that was fun for all but 5 minutes. Really sad considering how beautiful the game was and how fun the world could have been to explore.

I played the demo or beta or whatever it was... and flying around was fun, but you can only fly for like 6 seconds. I thought there was going to be some exploration aspect to it. You gotta land and treat the game like Destiny, a repetitive shooter with the same enemies everywhere. Its online (only, i think) too, so I rarely felt any progression and the story is all on the side... its basically Mass Effect minus all the parts that made it a good game.

As someone who was truly excited for this game... I'm so disappointed and not planning on picking it up at all.

I traded my XBOX One in last year for a PS4 since the only exclusives I played on it were the Forza games... which I can now just play on my laptop (got a laptop with a 1050 for video editing and game development a while back, just a bonus being able to play Forza on it). Microsoft really needs to make use of the other IP's they own, like Fable, Banjo-Kazooie, and Conker. I'd even love to see another Perfect Dark that focuses on local multiplayer!

Awesome. I'm not a huge fan of the series but I picked up Dimensions on the 3DS and 5+ on the VITA. Both very good fighters, especially for portables. Very few fighters on the systems had as good online, as good visuals, or simple controls to masters. Will definitely download the demo to see how it is!

I might just pull the trigger on Spyro. I usually go physical with my games but it apparently only has the first game on the disc. Would be nice to just have it always on my system and, hopefully, all 3 games will be on a cartridge if it comes to Switch.

That rhyme at the end made me chuckle. Nice review!

I finally joined PS Plus for the first time just mere days ago. Happy to say I'm part of that number now lol.

Not personally my cup of tea for PS4 but I'll definitely give the games a go. Who knows, For Honor might be a fun game to mess around in online.

I've been tempted with purchasing Wipeout for a while now. Love the demo and it looks beautiful in 4K HDR. Might pull the trigger tonight since it's yet again only $6.

At first glance I thought it was the cover art for Madden 18 😂

I've played through about half of the game so far and it's really good. The beginning is way more story focused than the previous two games, which sounds good but it took a bit away from the gameplay with little combat, slow traveling, and a ton of dialog. However, it doesn't last too long and before you know, it feels just like the previous entries just with sharper visuals and better lighting. Definitely worth trying the demo and picking up for $30 or cheaper.

That would be neat. Never played CTR but I enjoyed Nitro Kart. I'd consider getting it and it would be cool if they put online play in it.

I'm all prepared for Fortnite 2!

@Alfieburns Same here. Just bought my first 4K HDR TV last month. Pls no 8k yet. Am not ready!.

I done goofed and didn't buy PS Plus when it was $40 last week. I bought too many other things for myself and other people that I just completely forgot to. I'll just wait for another sale, pretty much most of the games I'm playing are single-player anyways.

Got this game for $20 last week with Black Friday deals and rewards points. Still haven't played it yet as I have a lot of projects due and finals over the next week, plus a big gaming backlog when I finally do get more free time. Glad to hear these updates and patches will be implemented by the time I get around to playing it.

This is why I never buy games at full price unless it's from a developer known for never dropping in cost, such as Nintendo or Rockstar. Most of the time you can wait 1-6 months (depending on the title) and save at least 50%. And waiting is never too bad since I always have a huge backlog!

Throughout the past week you could have picked up the 1TB PS4 with Spider-Man for $200. Then Uncharted 4 for $15, God of War for $17-$25, Gran Turismo Sport for $20, and an entire year of PS4 Plus $40... all for well under $300 total.

@JJ2 An open world, third-person Killzone game would be AWESOME. I will gladly be wrong if that's the case!
