There's only one plus side to this direct, and it's that I didn't watch it.

State of Play (because game companies thinking "Play" is a thought-provoking concept that, when used as a noun, makes them seem more profound, when in reality it just makes things seem more childish) in a nutshell:

- I was excited for Iron Man for several seconds before seeing it was a VR game, setting the tone for the presentation really well.
- "The gameplay feels crunchy" is Earthbound-tier terrible marketing.
- "Freakers" is probably the most unintentionally hilarious thing to call a horde of zombies.

FNAF VR looked pretty good, honestly. My only complaint is that this character's color scheme is COMPLETELY wrong. This is him in the VR game

And here is him in FNAF 4

Although I am super happy with more voice lines from Heather Masters. She's a great VA.

Nintendo will win E3 100%.
Ehhhh I dunno. Microsoft were killing it last year and have some pretty exciting things around the corner.

Nintendo needs to step it up from last year, as last year was pretty much nothing but a Smash Direct.

Studio who made Spider-Man should just be allowed to make a Marvel game for every hero.

Yes. Every hero.

Even Squirrel Girl.

I’m in class, looks like I didn’t miss much via Sony’s indirect. Thanks for sparing me the trouble of watching it.

Because content creators think people hate things being "goofy", and the word "Zombie" has been considered goofy for many years.

People think that if you want your work to be taken seriously, you have to shave off anything that could be considered even remotely silly.

It's a similar thought process as the eternal pursuit for "realism".
It's just an annoying trend, especially since the other names are just more silly: walkers? freakers?

PS Owners: I like video games. Can I see some video games at the video game presentation?

Sony: Here's some tech demos and cinematic trailers.

PS Owners: Okay but can we have games too?

Sony: lol no have this instead:



This Direct coupled with last year's E3 is honestly making me really wonder what the heck goes on at Sony HQ that they think presentations like these are entertaining or are a good way of communicating with fans.
They have their collective heads placed firmly betwixt their cheeks.

Though I did actually kind of unironically enjoy the musical thing that you're referencing, even if I didn't really care about the game it was meant to advertise.

Female Snake isn't wearing pants, Because Male Snake doesn't wear pants.

Though to be honest, both Snake and Male Zero Suit Samus should be wearing super-hero "briefs", because it's meant to conceal the crotch area.

A Squirrel Girl game would flop.
Who’d wanna play as a hero who wins everything...

Found the Thanos destroyer everyone!

One more thing:
I will try to pick both the PS4 and Switch ports of CTR Nitro Fueled.
I like portability, but I need those retro skins and tracks exclusive to the PS4 version.

I honestly forgot about the PlayStation Direct, was busy looking at dog pictures on Twitter...

Reading this thread, sounds like I made the optimal choice. :cool:

Does sony have "fans"? I mean I know some people prefer sony over microsoft, but do they have fans in the same way nintendo does? Like, people that are super passionate about what they put out?
I know that there are fans of their exclusive games.
But I feel like those are completely dissapointed with this thing.

Mostly the Medievil fans for sure.

nintendo's type of fanbase is pretty unique among the main three

for better or worse

If something exists, it is accompanied with a fan base.

Based on this and them skipping E3, I think it's likely that Sony doesn't really have anything big to show for this year cause they're gearing up for PS5 next year, I think they did this just so they didn't go the entire year without news.
I've been saying this for the last two years. Sony's coasting to the end of this generation because they already won it; there's no reason to keep trying to win over fans with big first-party investments when you already won over everyone you're going to win over.

They've been showing us nothing at the past three E3s but Days Gone, Spider-Man, God of War and Last of Us Pt.2. Two of those are out, one is almost out and the other should be out by Christmas. Those are the only exclusives they needed to close out the PS4's life cycle on a strong note while letting their pretty much guaranteed third-party support carry the rest of the load. They're in the position every console developer wants to be in.

Until they're ready to announce the PS5, there's no reason to prematurely announce games for it or even have an E3 presence at all. Every third party game Xbox announces at their E3 will probably sell more on PS4 anyway.

Seems like Scott is stepping up his game, which is nice. FNAF - FNAF 4 seemed pretty lackluster if you ask me, so I am glad we are getting some more interesting gameplay.
Ok I'm done freaking out about FNAF.

NOW WHERE IS MY PARAPPA THE RAPPER VR GAME SONY

OH lol my bad, yeah, its a full body thing. thought those were pants but what I said still stands. If shes gonna be crawlin, she'll need leg protection. It would suck to be sneekin around and get your legs cut up by twigs

But seriously, anyone who just wants Insomniac to make Marvel games needs to clear their minds as a whole.
Insomniac would be better making their own IPs and creations rather than just working on licensed stuff without a stop.

He looks faded, like he's been out in the sun too long.

As if he was left in a Garbage Dump for many years or something.

But then I remember that this version of Freddy isn't actually real.

I mean, assuming they probably have Animal Crossing, Luigi's Mansion 3, Mario Maker 2, and Link's Awakening, on the docket alongside possibly an unannounced game or two, on top of a likely Smash DLC character reveal, I feel like Nintendo's really gonna hit it out of the park, this E3
