Re: Why Didn't Sony Show Any Indie Games at E3 2017?

@TimeforTravel Don't get me wrong, I'm looking forward to a sequel to BG&E. The trailer, however, showed only cut scenes, no gameplay. Therefor I would learn more about a indie game that's part of a one minute video collage, than I have currentlt learned about BG&E2.

@Bad-MuthaAdebisi Yeah, the E3 reveal was not that good, but it made me interested enough to search for more gameplay footage, and what I found seemed fun.

@SoulsBourne128 Yeah, Rare - Microsoft Edition, has a shady track record, and it wouldn't surprise me if Sea of Thieves turns out mediocre. If, however, it turns out to be good, I might actually be tempted to consider looking up prices for Microsoft's console...

Re: Nintendo. As others have pointed out, there was more to Nintendo's presentation than the Metroid Prime 4 logo, but I don't think the article was dismissive of Nintendo's presentation in general, just pointing out that many have claimed this.

Personally, I think Nintendo had the best show, balancing between coming right now, coming before christmas and "we only have a logo / an announcement". Super Mario Odyssey looks to be a system seller (did someone say the second coming of Super Mario 64), Xenoblade Chronicles 2 looks fantastic (and still on for Holiday 2017, even though the entire internet "knew" it would be delayed), heck, even the Mario-Rabbids crossover looked good! And even though everyone knew it would come eventually, confirmation that a mainline Pokemon game will come to the Switch is great news. Kirby and Yoshi are always solid games.

Then there was the Metroid Prime 4 announcement (Ubisoft should have gone this route with BG&E2), and the remake of Metroid 2 (which looked great).

Nintendo has held back the last few years, but this year they knocked it out of the park, in my opinion.

Personally, I think Sony put on a solid show, but it was let down by previous shows in two regards: First, by setting the bar very high. And second, by having announced games already, that they might as well have announced this year instead (since there appearantly was nothing new to report on these games).

It's hard to find the right balance. Sometimes you have to "win" one year to keep the momentum up, even if that sabotages next years show.

If you make a list of the 10 most exciting games coming to PS4, how many was revealed this year, and how many did we learn more about this year? (Now, there's a challenge for you.)

Re: Is Monster Hunter Finally Coming to the PS4?

Personally, I hope Monster Hunter remains a Nintendo exclusive. The way I see it, it's good for gamers as a whole that Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo continue to produce their own consoles, and Monster Hunter is one of the main reasons that Nintendo can keep producing consoles.
