Talking Point: What Did You Think of Sony's PlayStation Experience Keynote?

Swear to god I nearly had a heart attack when THAT logo appeared. Had me genuinely believing a remake was happening for a second there...

Free games from EA works in the UK, Currently downloading Need For Speed for nowt.

Uncharted looks good. Hopefully the Order will be good but may be behind The Witcher and MGSV.

Poor, and the sooner SE gets new leadership or disappears if it sticks with the current ones, the better. Another dumba$$ useless troll announcement. As much as people pick on EA and Ubi, myself included, SE is among the worst of the worst.

Highlights: Uncharted 4, The Order: 1886, Vita games and free EA games.

It was good. No big surprises though.

Fantastic long live the vita

Wow where to start ? OK after Uncharted, Bloodborne, and Until Dawn it was wack. Holy cow Sony should be a shamed of themselves for hyping this damn thing through the roof. Man I'm tired of them with this stuff lately. No Guerrilla Games new IP. Sony Santa Monica hasn't been releasing nothing but indies lately. And they teased us saying they were bringing back something special (everyone is thinking Crash) turns out to be Fat Princess. There was not one megaton annoucment.

And Shawn Ladon coming out at the end teasing two more games to end the show so now everyone thinking "OK this is it Crash and TLG finally. Turns out its just No Man's Sky and a dumb looking Jaffe game. And about Jaffe, we're all expecting something cool like Twisted Metal or GOW turns out its some stupid looking arena multiplayer shooter.

RAD ruined it again The Order 1886 looked boring they didn't redeem themselves like we thought they would.

Pathetic imo, never get hyped for a Sony conference ever again I'm done. Their E3 sucked, Gamescom sucked, their TGS was decent, and this was just horrible.

So basically Uncharted 4 gameplay, Until Dawn gameplay, Bloodborne gameplay, and MLB 15 The Show teaser trailer. Eeverything else can go jump off a cliff.

_{This is the second time now I have asked you to watch the language. Next time there will be consequences. -Tasuki-}

Long live viiiiiiiiitttttttaaaaaaaaa..............

@Dohv

LOL, I've made this exact same post after every one of Sony's other shows. Don't be surprised once you calm down after the initial disappointment (and believe me, I'm a mixture of pissed and disappointed too right now) if you go back to looking forward to the good stuff Sony does have (and fortunately Bloodborne isn't too far off) and start hyping their next show. I always say after each disappointment 'I'll never get hyped again.' And yet, I get hyped again.

I'll probably mostly be on X1 over the next year though. Which doesn't bother me because I like Xbox but it does bother me because PS I have considered my 'gaming home' since the PS2 days and I loved the PSone eventhough I didn't own one.

It was alright. It was basically new footage of games we've known about for a long time, ports and remasters, and a bunch of new Indie games. Would've liked to have seen new announcements for a couple more major first-party projects and third-party projects, especially for the poor Vita (still doomed to exist as just a handheld for ports). The highlight for me was Uncharted 4, obviously. Everything else from that could hardly compare (for obvious reasons ). Weak ending, too. But overall, I thought it was still enjoyable. I expected more though, but perhaps that's not fair? I don't know.

What are you guys talking about, all Vita got was some more indie ports...

Is there not going to be a keynote tomorrow?

@get2sammyb
There is a sliver lining to this event tho, free games. I've just downloaded three EA christmas presents, so thats compensation right? It was meh, the worst of the four. Actually unexpectedly Vita got more mentions than expected, Yakuza 5 and the rest and the free presents, thats it.

To be honest, I am astounded by the amount of negativity around here. It's all a little juvenile and reads like the bloody IGN comments section. I expected better!
Personally I really enjoyed the keynote and there was a lot of good stuff there

The EA free game promotion is available in Europe!!, not a bad presentation Uncharted looks very good. Also a lot of vita love.

I was dissapointed. I was hoping for a sweet game announcement that never came. Vita was given more ports, with no new games, not even Japanese games. And they claim they love it. I know, PR, but they don't have to act like it's actually getting games. And Jaffe's stupidity made kinda mad. The conference had too much hype with a lack of good annoucements.

@Lateralus68 I agree, so many good games, I've lost count. Day of the frickin tentacle?! I was shocked. Plus Street Fighter V, The Forest, Shovel Knight, Yakuza 5, Edith Finch, Wattam, Killing Floor 2, Broken Age, Resi on Vita. And I really liked the gameplay from Uncharted, Order and even Until Dawn, which I haven't really liked until now. Big win.

Underwhelming.

i still cant believe SE thought that FF7 like that was a good decision rofl

@Lateralus68 completely agree. Not sure what folks were expecting from this event. It's a bonus event in the year with more info on massive games and a couple of reveals too. Good work.

@get2sammyb i was expected more AAA vita games like racing games like the crew and more

@get2sammyb I'm sorry man, I'm not trying to sound like an ignorant and ungrateful guy. But when these events get hyped up like the return of Jesus Christ I expect to see some big new announcements. Not trying to be rude to anyone or be a bigot.

I need a minute to get over all this anger.
...
Okay I'm good. CHEER THE HELL UP.

I know there was questions about Gravity Rush 2. This tweet from October shows it is still being made. I hope the twitter account is kosher. Can someone confirm? This could be the Vita game of 2015 if all goes well.

@Dohv

The PS4 still has some good stuff. MK X and I believe The Witcher 3 should be early next year. It's just a matter of tempering expectations. Part of why I think MS and Nintendo have impressed me this year, my expectations are usually lower for those companies. Need to start putting Sony in the same category. I'm with you though, people can blame 'the internet' all they want, but Sony did hype this up and there really weren't any 'megatons' worth it. To be fair, SF 5 would've been cool surprise but unfortunately got leaked.

Man miyamoto and aonuma having a 5 seconds talk of Star Fox was more hype than this

i mean, it was bad, but it was underwhelming, Vita still treated like bastard child and while we got some decent things, the mosy hyed one got leaked yesterday. Uncharted 4 was awesome thou, that deff was a high point, but still... 2 hours and this ? :/ like i said, underwhelming

I must be the only one who has no interest in games on the Xbox and Wii. I am a one console man simply because the Playstation has more than satisfied my needs since the Playstation 2. Who knows maybe I had been a couple of years later I would be an Xbox fan. ATM there are no Xbox exclusives that grab me and all the games I have wanted is multi-platform.

It's all Sony fault, they put this event way up high in expectation and then didn't deliver, they treated it like was the Event of the year with a lot of new things to show, It's not my fault I'm disappointed.

@get2sammyb My mind was blown by No Mans Sky and Uncharted 4. I also liked the look of Drawn to Death. Been waiting for Planetside 2 and Load Out so to here they're out in beta next week makes me happy.

@Gamer83 Either way SF wouldn't have did anything for me I don't care about fighting games. But whatever I got to get over it but just can't. As sad as this is gonna sound gaming is really the only thing in life I have to look forward to right now and everything has been underwhelming to me these past few years.

And fanboys on twitter are already going around these past few hours saying things like. "PS4 really is the indie station" or "No wonder they call it the indiestation".

@Dohv

Yeah, I'd avoid twitter right now, and youtube. The Xbots are going to be having a field day. And of course the PS fanboys will counter and it'll be a cluster f**k.

Yall got a screw loose. Wall to wall games set for 2015 & folk still ain't happy. The notion that an individual's unfulfilled expectations regarding the keynote are Sonys fault is an amusing one to say the least.

Yakuza 5 heading west via Sonys 3rd party initiative is the announcement of the year

@get2sammyb that list is pointless as da Ps4/Vita havz no gamez because [something] didn't get announced

@get2sammyb

There is some good stuff in there. I think at least for me anyway, the thing is that I keep wanting to hear from these studios that have been too quiet. I get that you have to put faith in that when Sony says these studios are working, they're working, but at some point something has to be shown even if it's just a logo. Like Persona 5, disappointed there was nothing there but at least we know it's on the way.

Pretty big 'meh' from me.

It wasn't bad...But aside from Tearaway and No Man's Sky, everything looked so boring and unoriginal (gameplay-wise, I mean).

The Order really does look like crap, and I wasn't impressed with the constant stream of remakes and ports. Uncharted 4 - while looking good - felt way too safe, IMO. And don't get me started on David Jaffe - the guy always talks a big game, but he can't design an original game to save his life. A unique-looking arena shooter is still a bloody arena shooter!

It wasn't all bad though; I'm really curious about that game from Giant Sparrow, and that weird one by Mr. Katamari (loved the audience's bemused reaction). And for all my whinging about ports, I still like the fact that Resi Revelations 2 is coming to Vita.

So yeah. I still think Sony did a good job - just because I was pretty indifferent to it - doesn't mean others were. It's nice to see a happy crowd in this age of cynicism

I'm not complaining, but it was meh overall. But I got a few things out of it, like Until Dawn, SFV and Uncharted 4. (and some free EA games) so I didn't walk away totally disappointed.

Day of the tentacle!?!? I obviously missed that. I love that game!

Where was Ratchet and Clank 2015? I mean, with the movie out in Q2 2015, they don't have all that much time to make a gameplay reveal...

@get2sammyb
"Whatever the hell that green square was"
What was that? I didn't watch the stream...

Wow. No one has mentioned Persona 5.. He said two words about it! I know a lot of people have an unquenchable need for new stuff but all I wanted was something new about P5. I didn't even want 30 minutes of gameplay. Just a solid release window or a new trailer.. It's killing me!

@Faruko I know right, having an entire trailer for FFXII when it still looked like a PS1 game. I was expecting an actual remaster or remake of the game when they said they were having it. It should have been a on the side annoucement.

wow ff7 on ps4 not remastered is such a slap in the face...

I am happy that Sony found out that they have a handheld also. No AAA titles but I am happy with the attention the Vita got.
I was expecting a surprise but that didn't came (except the Vita). For me it is totally unclear why Sony organised this when they have no news to share.

what the heck has happened to gamers these days, never happy with anything :/

Sony just p...... Me off had the chance to buy to grey ps4 only to be told sorry we don't ship at your destination wtf? Why send a link on Twitter if it wasonly for folks in the USA

I want loads of fresh IPs and not remakes, but I really want a remake of Ratchet and Clank and Crash. Also, I hate all Indie games, but doesn't that No Man's Sky look amazing? Finally, I wish they wouldn't hype games up and tell you about them years before they release, but why aren't they announcing everything they're working on?

<disengages impossible to please, and mostly hypocritical average PlayStation fan mode>

I thought it was a really good keynote - games, games and more games. Still really looking forward to No Man's Sky, and also Until Dawn looks cracking! Plus loving all the Vita attention - about blimmin time!

@professorhat thank batman, that first bit was sarcasm.

cant believe some people think it sucked?!?!?!?! this has been the BEST! ive never been more excited for a game as i am for SFV, coming pretty close is THE FOREST!!!!! man that looks incredible! i had heard people saying that it might come to ps4 but here it finally is. things are getting REEEEEAAL exciting !

Phew... just got done reading Battle Angel Alita Last Order, anyway i didn't watch it but judgeing from the announcements it was really good better then i expected.

Honestly you guys have no one but yourselfs to blame for getting overhyped i don't recall Sony hypeing this that much.

@get2sammyb That is a long list! Do we know which ones are exclusive to Sony platforms, and which ones are also on PC, MS?

@adf86 Finally someone with common sense on here thank you!

@Gamer83 - "useless troll announcement"

Seriously, that was mean. Like real life "The Crying Game" mean. It should be THE example for "troll" in Wiki.

I think part of my problem - which nobody else has seemed to mention so why not - was the number of things from last nights Awards show which were treated as new reveals. Both "The Order" footage and "Until Dawn" were shown last night. And the lead of Hello Games even read the same speech when he came on stage for No Mans Sky.

Too much build up for little AAA content for me. If this was just an online thing announced 2 days ago that Nitnedo always does w/ it's Nintnedo Directs then ok, it moved and had some stuff. but a weekend in Vegas built up for 2 months?

I wanted info about:

The Last Guardian (thanks NicolaHayden for mentioning it in the stream)
FFXV
KH3
MGSV single player since they covered multi last night
that marionette making game from mM shown off long ago
more on Godzilla from last night - it has a release date of next summer but Sony has hardly covered it outside of the award show yesterday. It's freakin' Godzilla, make it part of the show. Godzillas roar alone is worthy of a spot in the show. PS3 AND PS4. Announce it.
and maybe BG&E2 though I wasn't expecting it

I'm not sure anything justified the 2 month build-up. At least early last year they were announcing a new console w/ PS4, and E3 is expected to have events like this, but this really wasn't worth having.

I want a Exclusive game like Uncharted 4 every day now from SONY (even them people would find something to moan about) Oh well. Cool show anyway

Overall it's good a good time in PS4 land. Alit of things to look forward to but I like mostly all genres so I'm a happy camper

@professorhat here here

@rjejr

Can't count on Square for anything, other than a good trolling. But The Last Guardian, some more MGS V singleplayer footage, that'd definitely have been a plus for me.

Can't wait for uncharted and street fighter V for ps4. Free ea games are a plus. Nice touch (and coincidence) since I got my brand new ps4 on the same date.

Did Sony bend not make there announcement?
Oh and long live vita! Lol

I don't watch those things, I just go on with my day and wait for some websites to post the information. That way I don't get disappointed in time wasted or anything else. So far, the games I saw look awesome. Uncharted 4 looks absolutely gorgeous and that is definitely the game to get for the PS4. Killing Floor 2 looks awesome and I'm excited to see PC gaming hitting the consoles for those to enjoy them. Chaos and gore, what more could you ask for with independent fps game?

I've been reading the disappointment that was Square Enix, but I'm not going to get upset about that, there are many other awesome games coming out.

Great show, everything's good. Only downside is lacking a big AAA announcement.
