Sony E3 Results and Thoughts June 15th 2015


Sony wrapped up day two of E3 with their press conference. What secrets were unveiled, were there any new Vita games? Find out here with my thoughts to follow.

-The Last Guardian gameplay
-Street Fighter V trailer
-Call of Duty Black Ops III, PS gets DLC first, and a beta is coming
-Disney Infinity showcasing Star Wars, and an exclusive Boba Fett toy for Playstation
-No Man's Sky gameplay
-Shenmue 3 is getting Kickstarted (and is being funded by Sony)
-Media Molecule unveils new IP Dreams with a taste of gameplay
-Destiny expansion The Taken King trailer
-World of Final Fantasy trailer for PS4 and Vita
-Final Fantasy VII Remake
-Guerrilla Games new IP Horizon Zero Dawn unveiled. Trailer and gameplay shown
-Assassin's Creed Syndicate gameplay trailer showcasing Evie
-Hitman trailer
-Indie games from Devolver Digital (Ronin, Eitr, Mother Russia Bleeds, and Crossing Souls)
-Batman Arkham Knight gameplay from PS exclusive Scarecrow levels
-Campo Santo's new game Firewatch trailer
-Star Wars Battlefront gameplay
-Project Morpheus news and Playstation Vue news
-Uncharted 4 A Thieves End gameplay

So yeah, a lot happened much like the Microsoft event! Let me state the obvious, Uncharted 4 looked beyond good. The release for that game cannot come soon enough. Now I want to talk about Guerrilla Game's new game Horizon Zero Dawn. For those that don't know, Guerrilla is known for their Killzone games. Their latest entry to that series was 2013's Killzone Shadow Fall which released on PS4. Two years later they are back but with an open world game. Just days before I heard about the project so I was looking forward to what the game was. From what I saw in the trailer gameplay looked like it will be as fluid as Middle Earth Shadow of Mordor/Arkham series/Assassin's Creed series. The game sure looked pretty too. 

Then there was also Dreams from Media Molecule which had a interesting concept you use your PS4 controller to "draw" dreams to make a world and share with others. I need to see more but I have faith with MM because of their track record. While not a new game, we got more details on No Man's Sky. I liked that there's more to do than exploring. Like you can be on one side of the galaxy fighting a war, or on another side just exploring a new planet, and Hello Games were not kidding when they said how big No Man's Skies universe is.

I'm not surprised Sony didn't have any 1st party news for PS Vita, heck hardly any news. IGN has since reported Sony has no AAA games in the making for the Vita. Leaving it up to 3rd party to support the handheld. Which is a shame as the system is great and has plenty of potential for great console quality exclusives.
