Three interesting press conferences so far. My thoughts:
1) EA - same crap as always, not interested in anything they ever publish, or show at conferences, so meh - 3/10
2) MS - best MS press conference in ages, but that is not exactly saying much. Far too much focus on the division 2 (meh), the three new Gears games (double meh), Forza Horizon 4 (ooh look, pretty weather in my driving game I couldn't care less about), some interesting trailers for multi platform games not out for years (Cyberpunk 2077, ), a bunch more I have not much interest in. Tales of Vesperia being remastered - ok, but would prefer a new Tales game (or in fact other JRPG series). Kingdom Hearts 3 now coming out on Xbox as well - more of a surprise, but never played any of the originals so less interesting for me. New Halo game being teased (but again, its Halo, so couldn't care less). New studios being bought being ok, so hopefully that's a good surprise. Not enough game play or actually new IPs that MS have console exclusivity for. Far too many games being "console launch exclusive" or "exclusive but also on PC so we don't know what word means). 7/10
3) Bethesda - new Fallout game being always online MP, bad. New TES being teased, but without even a name (unlike Skyrim, which they announced ~12 months before the full release, but at that time it was a proper announcement, not a 20 secs teaser) may not even be out next year. Also given the popularity of Skyrim, it will probably try and ape some of the more mediocre elements of that game, rather then dig back to Morrowind to try and re-invent the series. New Doom game looks like more Doom. 5/10
Looking forward to Ubisoft's tonight, as even though as a publisher, their Customer practices leave a lot to be desired, they still make and publish the best games out of anyone in the big 3 (EA, Activision). Sony too - last year's conference was great as it showed off so many new IPs, all of which were due to be released sometime 2018,/9 so hopefully will see more details about Death Stranding, Ghost of Tsushima, Spiderman, TLOU2, etc. As well as hopefully some new games from the likes of Guerilla, Sony Japan, Media Molecule, etc
