I rewatched all the trailers in 4K/HDR the day after the event, and they all looked so much better. Once you've got used to 4K, it's rough going back.

E3 is irrelevant to most people that get excited for it each year. What people love are the conferences and the announcements, which were never really part of E3 anyway. They all went on before the show opened.

I do think it would have been a hugely disappointed E3 if this showcase was what we got though. It was good, but not great.

Deathloop is the one I'm most looking forward to playing, but doesn't feel right picking a game that was revealed a year ago. So Hitman 3 would probably be the highlight of the showcase for me.

Definitely waiting for a revision. The more I look at it, the more I dislike the design.

Looked interesting but not much to go on from that trailer. Thought it might have her something Division related at first as that scanning bit was similar.

Who signed off on starting the event with this??

Release date killed my hype and I love the PS4 game. Feel like it will be along the lines of First Light.

I think it looks dumb. The white colour fits my entertainment center but wish they’d kept it simple. Looks like one of those concept cars that never become reality because nobody wants something so awkwardly ‘futuristic’,

Like so many trailers, initially it seemed really interesting, then all went a bit weird and seemed less so. The horror elements and apparent rogue-like gameplay make me think it’s probably not for me.

It met my admittedly low expectations.

Ratchet, Hitman, Oddworld, Death Loop, RE8 and Horizon 2 were the highlights. 2 games already announced and 4 that we pretty much knew were coming.

Biggest downer for me is weirdly Spider-man. The released date killed my enthusiasm. Much too quick for a proper sequel. It’s going to be closer to First Light/Lost Legacy I feel.

Also think the console looked ridiculous. I just want a simple box under my TV. Interesting that it seemed like it was designed mainly as the digital edition. The disc drive looked awkwardly added on.

Kerbal Space Program and Deus Ex.

I'm glad I don't have the misfortune of watching the racists react to this one like all those people boycotting companies who put similar up on twitter.

Too many great games I’ve never played, don’t have time for replaying.

Just finished Dragon Age Inquisition, about to start Deus Ex Mankind Divided.

For those saying now is the time for distractions and escapes... it’s definitely not. This is not an issue people should ignore until it goes away. If this was just the pandemic, then maybe, but not this.

None of this matters. The consoles will come out, and sell out through Christmas just like every other launch. I’m sure this will be show before the end of June, but it really doesn’t matter.

What I'd like and what I expect are two different things. My expectations are super low. If i ignore reality for a bit, I'd like some new IP instead of just adding a number onto every big game from the PS4.

Ratchet and Clank could be fun, but I thought the PS4 remake was so dumbed down. It was trying to follow the original, but took so many things away from the story, it didn't really make sense as a stand alone anymore.

I'm eager to know more about what Rocksteady have been working on, although Arkham Knight dented my appreciation of them as a top class studio.

I loved Spider-Man to bits, but just can't see how a sequel will feel as amazing. Honestly just wish it was a one-and-done game and they move onto something new.

A new Splinter Cell would be nice, but I also know we'll probably never get a "real" SC again, and it would be a far more action-orientated Ubisoft adventure.

Wow, I'm so negative! But I also know a really great game built up ground up for PS5 is going to take such a long time to make, it's just not going to be there for the first two years of the console. Sure, things will probably look good, but it took until 2015 for the PS4 to really get going, and I can only see it taking longer this time.

Same as GoT, will wait for the PS5 version.

Keeping expectations low. AAA games take 4/5 years and those dev cycles will keep getting longer. I’m just expecting crossgen games and I’ll take any pleasant surprises.

The big games in the first two years will be Ghost of Tsushima, Last of Us II etc. Remember how dry the first two years of PS4 were?

I believe there's something in this, as they'd definitely be tipped off so they could get some kind of branded products into production, but it took Polyphony 4 years to get a content-lite GT Sport out. Yes, it's a great game now, but that's with years of additional work. They're just too slow at development now compared to studios making rival games.

Nope (but none of the no options in the poll are the reason).

2020 is like 2013. Bioshock Infinite, The Last of Us, GTA V, they were all being held back by old hardware, and soon enough they got released on the next generation where they belonged. I'll be waiting to play Ghost of Tsushima, Last of Us II and Cyberpunk 2077.

After the disappointment of THPS HD, I have no excitement for this. Just because the originals were awesome, does not mean these will be.

It’s the nature of the industry now. AAA games take 4 or 5 years of development, sometimes even more. Some huge developers have only managed 1 game in this 7 year generation. Any AAA game coming out now or even next year was started with the 8th gen in mind.

This pattern has been evident for the previous two generations already and is obviously going to get worse as games take longer and longer to make. Even if they could get a true next gen game out for launch, it would be on a console with such a low install base, profit would be near impossible. Console makers can justify this to move hardware, but for 3rd parties it makes no financial sense at all to do anything other than crossgen.

I got a PS4 late, so experienced Drive Club (and No Man’s Sky) after it had been improved dramatically. Still my favourite racer on PS4.

Think of the space they’d save too. It’s ridiculous how big current cases are compared to the discs inside.

Wasn’t a fan of the PS4 game. It was so weird how much characterisation they stripped out of the story. Events happened because they’d happened in the original, but they removed enough scenes that not all those events made sense anymore.

I loved the original Splinter Cell games. I really liked Conviction and Blacklist too, but they were very different. I wished they'd just created a new Clancy IP for those.

Recently been playing 2016's Hitman and love how that series went back to it's roots after Absolution, but I don't think Conviction and Blacklist were THAT poorly received.

The hype for this was blown out of all proportion by the cancellation and de-listing. It was a good demo, but my god, it was nothing out of the ordinary.

Not me! Every gen I jump into in later and later. Nothing good comes out in year one anymore, and there’s very little even in year two. Picked up my PS4 Christmas 2016 and don’t regret a thing. You know by that point you’ll have enough gems to kee you going for a while. I love gaming but can’t for the life of me work out why anyone would want a console day 1 anymore. Knack and Killzone Shadowfall?

You could get a PS4 slim with Uncharted 4, Last of Us Remastered and Ratchet and Clank for £180 three years ago during BF. That’s a just launched machine and three very recent games. To get new people on board in 2019, they need to go cheaper to hit a new level of consumer.

The all digital Xbox deals were crazy. You could get a console and game for £85 direct from the MS store in Germany.

I bought my first house in August and was sitting in some money to blow this week. My 13 year old 32 inch LCD with £30 Logitech speakers has been upgraded to a 65 inch OLED, along with a Sonos Beam and two Sonos One speakers for surround sound.

Been playing the campaign of Star Wars Battlefront II to test it out which might seem like an odd choice but in the new year I’m planning to pick up one of those Phillips Hue boxes that changes your hue lights based on what’s on the screen, so holding a few games like Infamous Second Son back for that.

Wish they’d do Japan!

So happy this series has made the break through it needed.

No Man’s Sky and Driveclub are outstanding examples of why a game that has a bad start should be ignored forever. Can’t wait for this update.

E3 is still plenty relevant, but Sony knows they have nothing left to announce for PS4, so what would people have wanted them to do this year? Hi guys, here's some more of the games we've been showing off for two years already.

Why the heck does COD need a reboot?

Eh, I dunno how much of a good game they could have made, with so little development time when they had to start completely from scratch. I love Kojimi so I won't write it off, but just seems too soon.

Excellent! Been wondering where this was. I hope they move away from the remakes after this one though and maybe give us something new. Munch' Oddysee and Stranger's Wrath already have HD ports.

They need to get the word about this out. I love the Burnout games and had no idea this was coming until one of the devs jumped into a ResetEra thread last week to talk about it.

These guys are always in PR mode. He downplayed Backwards Compatability because their new console didn't have it. He's not going to talk about what a great idea it was when they've put out a machine that couldn't do it. Very much doubt those were his actually thoughts on older games.

Even if they nail their vision of Shenmue 3 with this small budget, people are going to call it a disappointment. People’s memories of Shenmue are how amazing and alive the towns and cities felt all the way back in 2000. It was such a big part of the game. I don’t think Shenmue 3 takes place in any location like that.

Does the Show even get a UK release these days? I had to import a PS3 copy as there never seemed to be any UK versions available.

Not sure it's THAT surprising really. I mean, they take a pretty significant cut of every single game sold on the PS Store, and for every game they don't publish, that's pure profit. With 90 million customers out there, that's going to be a huge amount of income without ANY money spent on the product itself. Nintendo aren't going to be making much at all from third party sales on the eShop. All their big sellers will be games they also put a lot of money into developing.

I got a cheap, brand new double pack last summer when they did the week of deals, just before the World Cup if I remember right. I understand not wanting to produce too many of these thing, but right now, it could actually be putting people off buying PSVR. Some of the best games need these controllers. The PSVR has had such a good year, would be a shame to see the momentum killed off over this.

I don’t buy games day 1 anyway, but even with how good it is, I don’t think I really want to play a remake. Too many games out there I’ve never played before.

People acting like his wife won’t let him play games!

It’s not about that, it’s finding the time when you have more important things in your life. Guy probably works full time, gets home, has to cook and eat dinner, wants to spend time with his kid, then probably do something with his wife like chill out in front of the TV. There’s very little time for games, especially those 50 hour adventures.

I’d probably suggest the writer picks up a cheap PS4 though. Doesn’t have to be a pro. Could slowly intruduce his son into gaming with it. You could treat it like you were a kid again and just pick up the one game every 6 months and slowly chip away at them. PSVR probably isn’t so suitable in his current situation.

Wish they'd just let a series end on a high, instead of getting other studios pumping it out until critical and commercial decline does it anyway. I always admired Naughty Dog for moving onto new things with each generation. Leaving behind Crash to make Jak and Daxter, then leaving it behind to do Uncharted.

It's good at what it does, but you can see from the sales figures how disappointed the majority of the fanbase is that they've gone down the online-focused route.

Don't think I have much interest in a demo. Release date would be nice.

Oh dear me.

Can't believe they think £4 of virtual currency makes up for ripping people off. I'm usually a huge fan of Bethesda games. Oblivion, Fallout 3 and Skyrim are among my favourite games, but this is disgusting.
