I think it's pretty clear that Sony and MS have decided to go in completely different directions with their free games. MS is giving away big name, AAA stuff a lot now. Sony is using PS Plus to drum up interest for indie titles that would probably be completely overlooked otherwise. I'm starting to think that's not going to change.
Not to stir the pot, but as someone who owns both consoles, I really wish Sony would step up their game here. Over on Games with Gold we're getting Ryse, Walking Dead S2, Darksiders, and AC: Revelations. A killer month for free AAA stuff. Meanwhile, PS Plus continues to churn out cheap indies.
EA: F. Showed us absolutely nothing we didn't already know about except that indie. Sports titles and shooter sequels do not a press conference make. Bethesda: D. I loved Dishonored, so the Dishonored 2 gameplay was actually a plus for me. Prey is...a thing. Skyrim remastered will be nice. Other than that, painfully obvious that Beth just didn't have much to show. Ubisoft: C. I didn't watch all of this, but from what I did see there are some solid games coming. For Honor looks interesting. Nothing mind-blowing though. Sony: A. Awesome press-conference. Loved how they just showed game after game after game. Horizon is officially my most anticipated game now. Microsoft: B-. Full disclosure, I own an Xbox One and a PS4. I don't think they blew the doors off like some people thought they did. Take away the Scorpio announcement (which isn't coming for a long time, and we still don't know that much about it), and the conference had a lot less spark to it.

Re: Here's Your First Look at Sony's New PS4 Pro Console
Looks ridiculous, IMO.

Good job, Sony. You win!
Re: The Witcher 3: Blood and Wine Sounds Like It'll Run Better than the Main Game on PS4
@glassmusic Can't speak to the others, but Life is Strange and Valiant Hearts are both awesome.
Re: The Witcher 3: Blood and Wine Sounds Like It'll Run Better than the Main Game on PS4
@carlos82 Oh man the first DLC was soooo good. If you liked the main game at all, you're doing yourself a huge disservice if you skip Hearts of Stone.
Re: The Witcher 3 Dev Doesn't Plan on Remastering the First Two Games for PS4
Good. I would much rather they commit their resources to Cyberpunk at this point.
