That Sony Press Conference... Man. That was hands down Sony's best E3, and easily the best of them this weekend. Not only did they start with a live orchestra (compare that to Ubisoft's cringe-fest), but the orchestra performed almost all of the music throughout the night. Even if you're not a PS4 player, I highly recommend watching the entire presentation, because it was a great experience (skip to the 30 minute mark for the show):

One of the best parts was that there was hardly a word from the presenters, they let the games speak for themselves (except for Kojima's grand entrance). And the games were great. Totally caught off guard by the God Of War trailer. I've never been a fan of the games, but this looked fantastic. A ton of Red Dead Redemption vibes for some reason...

And the Detroit trailer was mind-boggling. The best part is that it feels like a totally natural evolution for Quantic Dream (Detective elements of Heavy Rain, character interactions from Beyond). Check it out:

Horizon: Zero Dawn is looking to be a Shadow of Mordor/Bloodborne hybrid in all the best ways. If I wasn't sold already, that fight at the end would have done it:

Resident Evil 7 as a PSVR game was completely out of nowhere. Demo available now on PS4 (I'll be streaming it soon).

Other stuff, like Insomniac's Spiderman game, The Last Guardian, and even Call of Duty (somehow) looked good, but the thing that got to us was Kojima's trailer for Death Stranding, which includes a goodbye to PT (and what could have been)... Really hit us where we live. ;_;

PS, check that Days Gone gameplay at the end of the show, it looks crazy intense.

Outstanding show all around.
