That was very poor. If you look at E3 2015 and 2016, arguably two of the best E3 shows in it's history from Sony, they set the bar incredibly high in 2015 and somehow raised it in 2016.
Considering the show in September 2021 was adequate at best, if this is what Sony have to show, it's embarrassing.
Days Gone was 2019. What have Bend been doing?
Sucker Punch hasn't been seen since 2020. What have they been doing?
Media Molecule hasn't been seen since 2020 either. What have they been doing?
Or Bluepoint, or Team Asobi or Housemarque? What have they been doing?
Sony London apart from a VR title haven't really done anything in years, what have they been doing?
FireSprite apparently have several big projects in development for PlayStation even before their acquisition in 2021, what have they been doing?
Naughty Dog have been teasing Factions since 2020. What the fuck is going on with that? If they show it at SGF and not their own conference then that's ridiculous.
Wolverine was announced 1 year and 8 months ago. Why did they bother announcing it if they aren't updating us on how that project is going?
The projects from Haven Studios and Firewalk look incredibly generic and not very creative or good at all. For cinematic announcement trailers, they have not won me over at all. I'm not looking forward to seeing more from those titles at all.
We knew Resident Evil 4 was in development. We knew that Final Fantasy XVI is coming out next month. We had the MGS stuff leaked. Street Fighter 6 we know enough about.
Assassin's Creed and Dragons Dogma 2 were probably the most surprising things for me.
But aside from a lot of indie titles, what the fuck was that? Like this is supposed to be your core showcase where you show the creme de la creme of what you're working on. That was honestly embarrassing. Absolutely embarrassing. You have Street Fighter and not Tekken 8 or MK1. You don't have anything on Final Fantasy VII Rebirth. Nothing for Silent Hill 2. Nothing on the aforementioned Wolverine. No update on Rise of the Ronin. No update on Lost Soul Aside.
Honestly, what the fuck....
