Sony Press Conference: A Quick Overlook

So much happened at E3 to get people talking, however,  any found it lackluster, some even saying it was terrible, others saying it's been the best one in years. Personally, I believe it was good for 2015, as this is the first year that actually showcases many of the big games. Lots of games will be up for grabs come November, and that in-itself is excitable, however, there were other games issued for 2016, that may be equally as exciting. Still, the games, along with some new hardware, and a few new applications are really the so-called "meat" of this particular conference. 

    Let's start with Sonh, becaue I felt it was the most clarified of all the conferences, although not as well-executed as Bethesda, the real contender for a next-year conference, while others like Ubisoft and EA seem to be getting too comfortable with their positioning. Sony has been impressive the past several years, always showcasing the best of the console, and adding luxuries that seem to work out well, such as Playstation Vue, which allows you to buy television channels individually, like picking and choosing your own bundle, and it appears to be an intelligent, futuristic way of doing broadcast media. 

    However, they started the show in proper fashion, by showing off an amazing game....ten years ago in The Last Guardian. This game is either the biggest eventual fail in history, or a purposefully-designed cult classic. This game refuses to die like so many other projects in it's stead. Many games have failed, even Bsttlefront 3 was a failed console game during the PS 3 years. Yet in 2016, we will be playing the game, and it's not even a soft launch, it'll be happening November 26th, I believe.  Seeing quite a bit of the game, it reminds me of something unfamiliar to me for years: excitement for a first-person-shooter.  

     Then three was Stret Fighter V, showing off two new fighters in both Cammy, and Birdie. Granted theater not "new", but newer tha. Chun Li, Ryu, and Charlie. The game will give you an open-test beta if you preorder the game. Sounds pretty smart, but seeing as the game will be a Playstation 4 exclusive, it means Sony is looking for a death blow, but at this point in the so-called console war, neither side has the IP power to hold the attention of millions. 

   Sony also seemed to mske it known that they want to be the system in your jouse. Personally I think of people hated the PS 3, and fanboys of XB360 seem hurt by the fact that their system has kind of done everything but provided any winning titles,and eve the so-called "PC Elitists" are trying to make it sound like this is some serious debate. Personally, I find Microsoft has attempted to mature over the past ten years, because they finally had competition from Apple, and now that Apple is the number one guy,'people have been less likes to support them. As the old axiom goes: it's not longer cool if you sndyour grandparents see hop to the same thing. It's amazing as something so fleeting as having someone of a different to generation enjoying the same thing as you to make you jump ship to the stupidest things. That's why I know I'm a fan of certain brands, but I won't go out of my way to scream in the face of others who happen to like something else. This goes for Sony, I've stated public ally that I've not been a fan of what exactly was going on with the Lwst a guardian. The game looks still to be underdeveloped, even for PS3 standards,and it's annoying, I couldn't imagine getting through even four hours,which I'm sure the game is barely that, with the characters. Still it's impressive, and different,mbut clearly far from done. They didn't even give it a proper release, and it is literally this close to being a decade in development, and announced, I'm sure it's even older than that. I'd even say it was at the very early stages of development at the end of the Playstation 2's console run.  In gaming years, that's five years past dead it's survived. I know the hype is on for this game, but even I have to say the hype isn't as real as most fans wish it to be,mans it could even hurt the PS4, and Sony's ales easy faltering respect.   The next game that was showcased was Horizon, which looked like a cross between Lost Planet, and Transformers, but the main character looks like the wild girl from Game of Thrones.  I was excited about the game, it looked to be fun, but it left me with wanting a bit more of a sneak peak before selling me. They must really think thwt we see all ADD ridden fools to tempt us with a sneak peek, and expect us to make a clear conscious decision if this particular publisher will make it through. 

   Sony's schedule has been pushed back and hurt like most other games thwt should've been out this year. A great example of bad pushbacks, which is fine if the game will be good, and most ofmusmdontnjuwt run out and buy it immediately, but it literally hauls progress, and stifles the market.  Still. We saw so y has paved the way for exclusive titles, and is now aiming to get everyone on Sony's side.  So y has been a threat this last  console cycle, and it has been fun to watch, and examine how they've grown as a company since the launch of the PSX, or PSone. However you remember it, I was always thrilled to see the system's next installment, because they always had the best first-party games outside of, obviously, Nintendo.  

    With a multitude of games coming out, and several thwt should've been out last console run ( The Last Guardian, and Kingdom Hearts 3, and let's face it, we know both of these titles were held back because of the less-than-stellar sales of the Playstation 3, and why both of these games are being used like children in a custody battle for our love.  However, I was, and still am interested to see just what these games will be bringing to the table come 2016.
