After Jack Tretton stepped down as CEO of Sony Computer Entertainment America, Shawn Layden stepped in. And as you can see by his hand gestures, he’s well-prepared for the job.

In the first one, he definitely wants a Wii U Gamepad 🙂
Haha all I was doing during this was watching his hands!
Congrats Kotaku, you win. You have singlehandedly caused me to cave in and adjust my firefox configuration to no longer allow images to animate. Now I can see the first frame of a gif, but no more blinking annoying images that provide absolutely nothing to a story (or in some cases are the ENTIRE story…apparently). If you really wanted me to see this dudes hands so bad then link a youtube video or something.
There is a reason why the marquee tag is a no-no in web design. GIF’s belong in the same boat. That boat needs to then be cast adrift and exploded in fiery delight because merely sinking it and watching it glug glug glug its way down is not a powerful enough response to the contents of said boat. Do you see gifs all over IGN? No. You do however see all the prepubescent teens in the comments using them in between arguing over which console is better and what game they’re going to spend mums money on next. Everyone hates those prepubescent teens. Stop being a prepubescent teen Kotaku. I come here to get away from them.
Woah it’s just a GIF man calm down! If anyone is immature here it seems like it’s you. You’re super sensitive to stupid stuff.
Can someone take a truckload of cash to Jack Tretton’s house to get him to come back, this new guy is boring!
Perhaps Sony should have mentioned in the CEO Job Description that the applicant had to have an engaging personality!
I agree with this guy
however i also miss Kevin Butler 🙁
This guy is a poor substitute for Jack Tretton who in his spare time works as a hard line noir detective fueled by tobacco and whiskey..
Also fuck Gif’s.
I fell asleep 2 mins into this guy’s presentation and woke up half way through the last of us remastered trailer. Disappointed I missed all these hand gestures.
Basically killed the excellent mood that Sony had going for it but luckily it was revived afterwards. There’s a reason why the E3s in the middle of last gen have been considered a low point in the expo’s history.
Never talk about TV, they should have learned from what MS did last year…
This guy killed Sony’s press conference mid way through. Thank god it got better after he left. Anyone notice when the lights came back and Andrew House was on stage people all clapped and cheered 😛
I think there was a competition between him & Bendis to see who could kill off interest in the Conference faster.
I might be the minority here, but I actually liked the guy. It felt like he knew games more than Jack Tretton did anyway.
The hand gestures did make me laugh though.
I felt sick when he started talking about free to play being a big part of Playstations future though. I have a hand gesture for that. Take both thumbs and jam them up your arse.
Guys, it’s his first time as presenter at E3. Jack wasn’t too hot either his first time some 8 years ago.
