I think it looks OK, I was arguing my point from earlier.
The art is virtually identical, make it easy for naysayers to say it looks like a PS3 game, but I don't think their arguments really hold up to scrutiny.

What peers is TLG supposed to hold a candle to exactly? There's really nothing else like it out there. Not now. Not for the forseeable future. Team Ico games were critical darlings that also attrackted a very avid, albeit rather small-ish fanbase. What they never did was attrackt the mass market. TLG is not gonna do that either. The odd low poly object here and there isn't gonna break its legs. Neither will 30 fps.
And the reason why people aren't gonna go with PC over PS4 in Shenmue's case is the same reason they never did in the past for any of the other countless multi-platform games.
Every game being made, when it comes to comparing visuals. And there are other games with an ICO like style artistry that are prettier than what's been shown here. The gameplay may be as special as ICO, but that doesn't make the game immune to comparisons.
Things don't stay still. The reasons to avoid PC in the past aren't as strong as they were. Plus for people like eastmen who have a gaming capable PC, the announcement of a cross platform title on PS4 isn't going to make PS4 any more attractive. As a platform-agnostic announcement, it could be exciting, but it's not specific to Sony and in a Sony press conference, you'd expect more to exclusive to the platform. Otherwise you get the impression that there's not much special to the platform.
For me, reasons to get a PS4 instead of upgrading my PC are things like Wild, Dreams, and Uncharted. If it's multiplats I'm after, Shenmue, Assassin's Creed, No Man's Sky, SW: Battlefronts, and other titles shown by Sony, going the PC route is making more and more sense.

There's already a bunch of game between now and holidays. Of those just on my radar, there is Arkham Knight, Until Dawn, Mad Max, MGS Phatom Pain, Tearaway, Fallout 4, Star Wars Battlefront plus all the annual predictables like COD and Assassin's Creed plus things like the Uncharted Collection and a bunch of indies.
For someone like me, Fallout 4 will easily keep me tied up until past Christmas. Four week after launch, I'm still wanding arond in the Witcher 3!
And it used to be that the 1st calendar quarter following Christmas was as desolute as the summer months but this year PS4 had Bloodborne, BF Hardlines, Dying Light and The Order 1886. I'm definitely looking for new things to play in this period so some slippage from what is generally a period with too many games into a period where there are too few works for me.
I'm not seeing it. It was better than last years conference, which I can't remember a single thing from (whcih says it all, really!) but I don't see this topping E3 2013 when new hardware launched. I found it interesting that with a couple of isolating sideways-smirk moemnts, neither Sony or Microsoft acknowledged each other. I can't remember what it was exactly but I did like Microsoft's subtle dig when talking about backwards compatibility.
It's like everybody has grown up and become civilized. Even the forums!
Well we are all older and we know that there's much more important things in life than games and bitching about games or game companies.
I'm not sure of the last time I saw an E3 conference that was really exciting, but I can't say that this one from Sony is going into any kind of hall-of-fame. It was decent, but even relative to the past Sony E3 shows, there's no way this is bigger than showing PS2, PS3 or PS4, or even Morpheus last year. In terms of games, I don't even think this is the strongest group of announcements they've had. I know FF7 is a really popular title, but if a remake is a legendary announcement, then God help us all, because the only thing worse than Sequelitis is HD remasters and remakes. Hollywood can barely make a movie that isn't a sequel or a remake of an old movie or tv series. I guess the videogame industry is now the same thing. Let's not celebrate it. The strengths of the Sony show, to me, were not FF7 or Shenmue. I've said as much in the TLG thread, but I'm incredibly skeptical of that product. Media Molecule, Guerrilla and Naughty Dog were the real meat of the show.
And no, I didn't think the Microsoft conference was really exciting either. None of them are.

But they haven't. Final Fantasy is a multiplatform game that is now being kept timed/full exclusive because sony is paying for it. Remember the big hoopla when MS did the same thing with the same company last year and everyone got pissed and said how bad of a discision it is. Now its Sony doing it but that's A okay...
Shenmue is also being made possible by us. They launched a kickstarter to hedge their bets
From the kickstarter (scroll down to questions )
"
Will there be an Xbox/Wii U/Linux/Mac version for Shenmue 3?
Currently we are planning development only for PC (Windows) and PS4. Other platforms have not been decided yet."
So there is no exclusivity on the deal.
Its a game that has been missing for 5 years or more at this point and the graphics haven't even kept up with Ps3 games. Now its coming to the ps4 and looks like its in very rough shape graphicly. This was a game that I was willing to buy a ps4 for but my interest has cooled greatly.
The problem is you listed a majority of multiplatform titles. IF your a pc gamer your going to find the best experience for them there. But you can also get them on an xbox.
Sony is bringing few exclusives this year.
That is why this e3 for them was unimpressive to me. They lacked exclusive games to make their platform in 2015 more exciting than the pc or xbox . 2016 may be more impressive but we don't even know how much of what they showed off will land in 2016. FF and Shenmue most certainly will not
theres no morpheus in E3?
final Fantasy is not being kept exclusive. A remark of an old game that appeared on PlayStation and PC and fans of the game basically are old PS owners. Future FF's are multiplatform. In contrast, though the TR franchise remained multiplat, the core game and the sequel to the recent big hit was made exclusive.
If Sony had announced that the next iteration of FF was exclusive, then you'd expect people to be up in arms. Although even then, it wouldn't be a sequel of an ongoing story and FF is not such an important franchise to XBox - PS3 FFXIII sold nearly double XB360's in US in the first month.

Most of those are quite Kinecty. Where are the 'proper' full games. Does make me worry about the tech a bit.
On the plus side - no more charts! Although the LBP charts were pretty clever way back when.
Edit: I do not know who WON E3, but I did really enjoy Bethesda. PC I would get bored and then come back later, get bored, repeat. Not a bad format, and I guess really they needed time to get through the 25 presenters.

Videos linked at the website don't look bad. Naysayers saying the games wouldn't even be PS3 quality seem disproven. Perfectly serviceable graphics for an immersive experience IMO.
So you were willing to buy a ps4 for a game that until 2 days ago everyone thought was cancelled.
Sorry but I call bs on this, seems like a troll attempt.
Who's going to invest in AAA titles for an unproven peripheral? It's inevitable that the first steps will be non-committal, because you don't bet the farm on long-odds unless you're a maverick. Also AAA titles with AAA visuals won't port directly. You'll need games to be AAA and VR targeted to get Morpheus releases with 2D releases to suit. Cross-reality games might be few and far between actually, which means you'll need a substantial VR install base to justify specific targeting.
Interestingly, a search of eastmen's posts in the TLG thread show no contributions other than an expectation it'd be quietly announced as cancelled last year. For a game that could sell him a PS4, he hadn't shown any interest prior to this revelation here that it's no longer pretty enough to!
Leave eastmen alone! He has 8 or so X360s/PS3 around the house and god knows how many other consoles. He eats PS4s for breakfast.
