Phew! It’s the final E3 conference of the day. AND YES WE’RE LIVEBLOGGING AGAIN. Bear with me on this one friends — I’ve been up since 1am and I’m starting to get a little bit delirious.
Also — just in case you missed it, you can watch the livestream of the Sony conference here.
10.45
What are you expecting from this one? To be honest, I’m expecting a little more fat compared to the lean, mean Microsoft conference. I’m expecting a little bit more time spent on Project Morpheus. I’m also expecting a barnbusting Uncharted trailer. Other than that? All bets are off.
10.53
Oh yeah, The Last Guardian.
11.00
Alright, kicking off!
11.03
Oh man, I hope this guy isn’t the guy doing all the event like Jack used to. No. Please no. God no.
11.07
Holy shit.
Wow, I honestly can’t believe I just watched that. Man. I don’t even really know how to judge it properly. It exists, it will be released and we will play it. Wow.
Man, just wow.
11.17
Okay, I’ve recovered. This new title from Guerilla Games looks fantastic. Fucking robot dinosaurs in a post apocalyptic/tribal setting. Jesus.
11.21
This thing looks like it came from the mind of an eight year old boy. And for once I mean that as a compliment.
11.22
See — CGI trailers are okay if you don’t know what the game is gonna look like. So yeah, I’m okay with that. It’s Hitman, it shows off the new style, the new aesthetic. Looks really cool in my opinion.
I seriously have no idea how you justify giant robot dinosaurs in your fiction but, fuck it. I’m gonna just roll with it.
11.26
Now onto No Man’s Sky. Jesus, it’s funny the game’s that just fall off your radar. Super excited for this as well.
11.30
Holy shit. This game is something else. Not saying anything else right now. Watching.
11.33
Just want to say that the variety of gaming experiences being shown in the Sony conference is pretty special. This is making me excited about games.
11.36
I have no idea what this Dreams thing is. I don’t understand it at this point. Pretty vague and weird presentation to be honest.
11.42
Man, it’s gonna take a lot to get me back into Destiny I’m afraid.
11.45
See that was already a better showing than Assassin’s Creed at the Ubisoft conference.
11.50
I’m in the minority here I’m sure of it, but I think the Final Fantasy VII remake is a pretty terrible idea. But man, people are so excited. More excited than they were for The Last Guardian.
11.54
Holy shit, Shenmue III? This conference is like fan fiction. It doesn’t even seem real.
11.58
No idea what’s going on with that Batman stuff? A pre-order bonus? Seems really cool though. Super well presented.
12.00
Okay, Sony doing the right thing by Project Morpheus. They know that VR doesn’t present well. People are going to have to get hands on with that thing to get an understanding of how cool it is.
12.03
Yep, Activision. Makes sense for them to unveil the new COD on the Sony stage. I suspect that’s where most of their audience will be this generation.
12.08
I feel like the first half of this E3 conference was kinda fresh and glorious. Then it slipped into the realms of fan fiction. Now it’s sort of E3 by the numbers.
12.12
And with that multiplayer video, the line between reality and 420 Blaze It grows ever shorter.
12.15
Man, I take the piss, but E3 conferences have come a long way. These are actually watchable. Both Microsoft and Sony have done a great job.
12.17
Disney Infinity? Great timing. Was just thinking I needed a cup of tea. BRB.
12.20
Okay dokey, let’s check out some more Battlefront.
Man this game is just an old fashioned looker. Such a fucking gorgeous looking video game.
12.26
Oh gawd, abort! Mission abort! Wow. That was weird. An actual issue with the game. Again, I like it. Don’t mind that sort of thing. We’re getting a real sense that this a proper video game we can play.
12.32
Well, as you might have expected. Uncharted looked phenomenal. Great writing, great visuals, perfect set pieces and a proper sense of stakes and drama. Great conference from Sony. Pretty amazing.
And that’s that. Thanks for hanging out with me all morning into the afternoon. See you at Nintendo!

Buy me Dark Souls 3 or go to hell!
Nah, Dark Souls 3 already got an outing in Microsoft’s presser this morning. I doubt MS would have thrown money at it if Sony already had it stitched up.
Whoosh.
(highly likely – I’m a DS virgin)
(Moar liek a Simpsons virgin)
Jesus, The Simpsons. Do they still exist?
Unfortunately. 27 seasons.
The Last Guardian…it could happen…
…it could….
*cries*
EDIT: HAHAHAHAHA!
MOTHER FUCKING YES!
I don’t know man, after all these years… I want it to happen but terrified that it’s not going to live up to the hype.
Here you go!
Twitter just exploded, IT IS HAPPENING!
I am hoping for some tasty Persona 5 goodness!
New God of War game hopefully.
Give Me Dark Souls III AND Grant Me MANY Deaths
fixed it for ya.
I think this’ll be the Microsoft Press Conference 2.0.
I wouldn’t be surprised to see backwards compatibility get a showing at Sony’s press conference as well. Still keeping PS Now for titles/streaming that people DON’T have, and introducing it along the same timeline as Microsoft, or … just to annoy Phil … “it’s available, right now“.
Most first-party titles. A smattering of indies (PS still want to be the ‘home’ of indies). Microsoft seem to have beaten Sony to a lot of ‘partnerships’ outside of their home studios. Ubisoft should get a showing – some AC gameplay most likely.
Replace HoloLens Demo with Morpheus Demo.
The Last Guardian. This is the year. I can sense it.
Kind of interested in Morpheus. Not something I can see myself ever actually buying, but curious to see what they can do with it.
Hopefully see what their internal studios have got apart from Uncharted 4. Guerilla’s new IP? Something from Media Molecule? Something from Santa Monica that hopefully isn’t God of War but probably will be?
twisted metal reboot or time crisis or dino crisis or legacy of kain soul reaver. Reboot all the franchises!
11:00 am The Vita is now Sony’s core product focus and the PS4 is now a legacy product. ^_-
I want COD!!!
Nah just kidding 😉
Lets have a FF update.
gee that guy has a giant head. dont think we getting much destiny seen as bungie will be doing something tomorrow i think.
Sony bought a year of exclusivity over certain content, the fact Bungie are doing their own presser ahead of The Taken King’s release in September suggests to me that from here on out there’s not favouritism.
Go Square Gooooooooooooooooo.
Glaswegian music represent.
Does anyone enjoy watching a company mouthpiece talking up their company?
I am SHOCKED that companies would advertise their upcoming products at a convention designed for companies to advertise their upcoming products.
/s
1. Show The Last Guardian.
2. Drop Mic
3. End presser.
No mic drops, walk away’s or other acts of grandiose douchbaggary thanks.
Is it too much to ask that people in and around the gaming sphere behave like professionals and not complete tools?
(yes, yes it is).
FINALLY! Only 7 years late.
Its a feathered dog meat.
Sony kills the opening already, E3 really is pulling out the stops this year.
Holy crap this is beautiful
it looks soooooooooo good, all the hype
gosh….that was a lovely opening.
Omg last guardian
Opening with their most requested game? Bold move Sony
A new game from Guerrilla games? Yes please
If this is in game it looks incredible
Constant in game running commentary from the character feels like it might get annoying quickly though
Indeed
Guerrilla games introduce new IP, twitter exploded again
Yeah! Enslaved 2!
New Hitman!
Footage of the New Hitman YES!!
And a Beta for playstation
Was half hoping it was a new Syphon Filter
Why has Guerilla not been making this instead of Killzone?!!
Did I miss The Last Guardian? Missed the first ten minutes… Damn. The Guerilla game looks pretty!
No Man’s Sky. Just wow
No Man’s Sky
OMFG
Side thought: If they opened with The Last Guardian, how the hell are they going to go out with a bang?
FF7 remastered
Half Life 3
Oo, I think FF7 could be on the cards. HL3 they’d save for the PC show surely? (of course, money talks, so Sony could have thrown mega-bucks for an exclusive).
You, sir or madam, win half the internetz.
Uncharted?
No mans sky looks amazing as usual
KILLER TEDDY BEAR
That dream thing looks really interesting
I want whatever media molecule have been having! XD
I’m blown away. Sony always brings something special. That dreams stuff looks wonderful. Brings a tear to the eye.
OK, I’m just gonna come out and say it. I think Dreams is gonna flop.
Destiny expansion HYPE!
Bow and Arrow!
Fire watch looking interesting
This guy needs to stop trying to be ‘funny’. Stop forcing it
Destiny. Another bullet sponge boss. Cool… 🙂 Fatigued with Destiny so will take a lot to get me to put more money down for this.
And here comes the American version of the Cockney accent
Dick Van Dyke does mockney…
World of Final Fantasy?! pfffft
FFVII HYPE
HOLY FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK
A, new, FF7 movie?
one word: nowayomgholyfuckingshit
Wow…
OMG YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES
FF7 REMAKE!
YES! That works!!!
I’ve actually got tears in my eyes
No.
FF7 remake… Yep. Just lost my shit!
Noooo!
Internet exploding
Noooooooo!!!!!!
NOOOOOOOO NO NO NO NO NO!!!!!!
They’re going to fuck it up!
Stop being negative
could probably stop watching now tbh
Holy shit that Destiny clip was pretty awesome.
C’mon Serrels, I want some delerium fueled comments.
Wow, Shenmue too? DAMN SONY!
Wait, what?!? I’M NOT WATCHING!
IS THERE A SHENMUE 3?!??!
AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!
On Kickstarter
http://bit.ly/saveshenmue
Ahhh, that’s a bit more “meh” then.
Yeah, apparently announcing Kickstarter campaigns for games that may or may not actually end up getting made is something that happens on platform holders’ stages at E3 now. I hope Sony at least make a big f*cking donation…
All we need now is a Shenmue sequel. Oh wait…
I was only kidding… wasn’t expecting that!
what impresses me the most so far is that none of these games announced with the exception of destiny have been about big burly marine types firing bullets at each other
Sony are absolutely smashing it today.
Best E3 ever? I’d say it’s a strong contender
Ok, original FF7 crew may not be so bad.
FF7 wasnt even the climax. damn.
I think we just crashed kickstarter.
FPS Batman game? This could be interesting
OK – Batman is FPS?! I thought it was 3rd person like the others – im into this now!
Maybe only certain sections are FPS
Batman looking wonderful
Multiplayer morpheus?! YEEEES!
Cambridge mentioned 😀
Take my money. Morpheus now please!
Vue seems like a decent idea. Pricing has to be right though
Sony single handedly destroying pay TV
Subscribing to single channels? Finally pay TV is in the 21st century
Would make the others change their pricing
Playstation vue looks interesting hope it comes to Australia
Cricket and rugby league or I don’t care.
So I probably won’t ever care.
I doubt it on Cricket, Nine isn’t about to let that cash cow go to something like VUE
Ditto rugby league – though I’m really talking more about the Foxtel games for both sports, and the same logic applies for that network.
So like I said, I probably won’t ever care.
Is CoD really the finale?
Hope not
Finishing up with COD?! PUHLEASE!
Black Ops 3? ….. Whooooo gives a fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck
My god, someone tell this bloke how to dress…
Call of Duty comes on screen.
Everybody in class goes back to work. lol.
In my case, muted and do some actual work, yeah.
Class?
COD? Now feels like watching UBISOFT or MS presentation.
Ha! Shenmue broke kickstarter!
Yep. 127,000 pledge already.
Half a mill now
It just crashed again.
$733k
8400 supporters.
Halfway pleged
@batguy And its funded
Yeah, I’d been keeping an eye on it despite having minimal interest in the game myself. Crazy.
This Call of Duty is the most bro presentation ever. Makes me even less interested in it than I was before
That pilot was a leaf on the wind
I hope he lives in the second season.
man, cod just same as always. meh.
COD is predictable.
Boring, boring, boring.
COD? COD never changes.
Call of Dudebro: BroDude ops 3
4 player co op campaign might be fine but doubt I’d have four mates who purchase so…. Kind of a moot selling point!
Way too much screentime for COD here. Not impressed.
YES, PS4 OWNERS GET THE OPPORTUNITY TO BUY DLC FIRST. WOOHOOOOOOO!!!!!!
Ugh.
Am I the only one that thinks Andrew House looks like a super villain?
Exclusive!
(map packs)
So many multiplayer betas… I don’t have time to play full releases as it is…
Sony is going to need something real strong to finish. i feel like the entire presentation should have been reversed, its starting to drag a bit after the hype at the start.
STAR WARS IS COMING TO DISNEY INFINITY!
*three people give a half hearted woo*
*three parents
Fixed.
*thinks* I know how to get a massive cheer
TIMED EXCLUSIVE TO PLAYSTATION, huh, huh
*thinks* Anytime now
ahahaha this guy is excited lol
very, very hype
Good quality In someone that’s trying to sell you something
those old Star Wars assets are surely getting a flogging this year.
This guy is far too excited in trying to hype up Disney Infinity 3.0… =/
Exclusive to PlayStation ………. for a month. Why bother?
I think they get it before the US school holidays so if you want it to babysit the kids when they are on break you can only get it on PS4
These DLC, timed exclusives are a waste of time….
did he just say Luke Sky Water?
Uncharted 4?
Lol – I bought Disney Infinity 2.0 with my new PS4 thinking it would be the first game my son and I would play together… 1 hour later we went over to playing Lego Marvel Super Heroes 🙂
Other than the cool figures, it is just a boring, repetitive game…
I’ve kept my PS3 to play with my 9 year old son. Sadly he keeps beating me playing Sonic Racing Transformed. The shame.
Closing with uncharted
Good show Sony. Impressed.
Oops, spoke too soon.
Controller run out of battery?
Happens to the best of us!
Lmao
The joys of live demos! Broken controllers!
Haha – Uncharted standing simulator
Uncharted – Stand And Watch Edition
C’mon Uncharted on PC please… prolly not going to happen, but one can wish.
So nice to see Vita get that 1minute montage, keeping the system alive boys!
Well……that was pretty impressive I must say.
Most excited about….. No Mans Sky….again.
Best E3 ever?
There are no losers here, just winners.
What Xbox presentation?
Not much in there to interest me apart from Uncharted.
Morpheus is interesting but I will be waiting out the battle of the VR Helmets until there is a clear victor with games I want to play.
