The Annual E3 Sony press conference thread, 2015 edition

MM's Dreams didn't even seemed to be a game.

 

Maybe it's just me, but the first Shenmue got boring really quickly--yet another game I never finished.

 

Not the kind of games that make people eager to get a PS4.

 

It was $550k ish when I made my other post a few mins ago.

 

FFVII, Shenmue, Last Guardian ... I would be surprised if they arrived in 2016 (if at all) ...

 

One criticism I have about a bunch of the Sony stuff is the timeline. Like @liquidboy said, a lot of this stuff is two years away, at least. I prefer conferences that show me what's available in the short term. Still, it's all good stuff.

 

That Uncharted 4 demo was hugely impressive, the amount of detail and physics-enabled scenery was mind-blowing especially when the player is moving so quickly through such a large environment.

For those wondering...

 

I think for Shenmue 3 Sony paid part of the development the foal of 2 millions dollars is on the low side. The platform are PC and PS4...

 

Shenmue hasn't even been kickstarted yet lol. 2016 not possible at all.

 

The messaging was poor, if they are sponsoring the development they should have said something like Suzuki needs to 2mm to realize his dream and today Sony is pleased to present him a check for 500k to help him get there, now we need you the gamer community to help us help him reach his goal. A live check at the show unbeknownst to the developer would have been a really human moment bc of the emotion it would have invoked and it would have come across as genuine versus the odd way the announcement was handled.

 

Seems like all they did was give him a huge platform to announce the kickstarter in exchange for console exclusivity. That's a pretty big platform, so it's probably worth it.

 

I wanted more morpheus stuff, but they won me after 10 minutes with TLG and Horizons. Everything else was just gravy and expected stuff.

 

Shenmue 3 date of release is December 2017. The goal is 2 millions dollars and it is 633k...

 

780k for Shenmue 3 now...

 

Yep also the way the AI responded

 

It will be funded in less than one day...

 

The kickstarter is most probably a way to convince investors that there is enough demand for this franchise. The 2 million is almost symbolic. This game will probably cost 20 milion or more not including marketing costs.

Seriously, anyone think it's a 2 million game when shenmue 2 was something like 70 million?

My guess is that the metric is how quickly they reach 2 mill.

 

Uncharted 4 blew me away, the amount of destruction going on in the demo. Holy crap. Loved the sounds from the people on the streets, the chickens and the dog barking (awesome).

In terms of the conference, it was great, but I'm gonna say what a lot of other people might say too. Not much of what was shown is relevant to 2015 :/

 

I was going to say the same think. 2 million is a low bar. Shenmue 1 costed if I remember correctly around 8 million on the Dreamcast to produce
