Sony E3 conference: Here was my feelings as it plays out - If someone actually comments on a particular part, maybe I'll put more effort into describing how I feel beyond the first reaction. Wow, 15 minutes late... And then what is their explosion out of the gate? Talk about Vita?! wow... what a massive choke. While I'm typing this the stream crashes... Guess I better switch to a different feed. GT feed it is. Looks like Vita is the companion device for PS4. Seeming I don't own one, looks like I'm already out of the loop. Next up PS3 news. I can see what they are doing here. They don't want to knock my socks off and then let me down by talking about this old stuff. I'll hold out. They talk some of the games: Last Of Us: looks like The Walking Dead with more gameplay in it. Hum... a game called the puppeteer? looked lame. another one - didn't have time to watch. and now to a game with F* Bombs in the trailer and really stiff acting. It has a bad-ass girl in it. Unluckily the voice talent is Juno (Ellen Paige), so I'll I can see is a pregnant teen running around the whole time: Beyond two souls. Meh. Grand Turismo 6 - yeah, another car collecting game! oh wait, I don't really care about these anymore. Batman: Arkham Origins - I never even finished the other batman games. GTA 5: Nope. I don't need GTA, never will. ---------- Slight aside - Why do I pay attention to Video games anymore? Seriously at least something should have made me excited by now... Instead I'm bored. I don't even see anything fancy to share with my kids / family. Gaming truly is way different than what I want it to be. ---------- On to PS4... finally. And to present the hardware is a squeaky gross looking guy. Sorry, this is a guy that just shouldn't be allowed to speak in a big setting like this. ...and presentation - A black box... LOL!!!!!!!! It is a slanted VCR! Good one guys! They took the Xbone, slanted it, and stood it on end like a Wii. Wow. blown away or something. Sony Entertainment Pictures/Movies/Publishing guy to the stage - Here it is, the promise of the best entertainment for everyone. He names a few music brands I hate. He mentions some TV that I actually like (Community). Some movies that are lame or gone way to far (Spiderman, Resident Evil). He promises exclusives to the gamers... What content? He is completely empty in details. Good waste of time there - did little but tell me again I don't really care about the brand behind the brand here. Video Unlimited - Ability to rent TV and such - wow. Streaming netflix... goodie. My Wii does that. Redbox instant - maybe useful. Saves me driving to the dollar box at the gas station 4 times a year. Flixster: For watching more movies. Hum... Back to the PS4 and gaming... here we go maybe... Enter someone to talk about games. Oh Shit... talk about social media and the games those sorts of asswhipes play. And how we can get games like those to the PS4. I guess the fact I don't talk about it all the time must mean I'm not interested. Point taken. And an exclusive game - Finally! 45 minutes in... Guns and Knights looking dudes. And Zeplins? and horse carriages? WTF? and trains... and Zombies type people. "The Order 1886" - Um... I don't even know what to say here. Seems odd, but at least different. Still lots of guns. All gaming is these days is guns guns guns. 4 more titles and details: Killzone - Shadow Fall. Meh. Drive Club - A racing game. You know when PC's first came to life it was all flight simulators. Car simulators are the console equivalent. Infamous - Second son. again... there is NOTHING interesting to keep people interested in gaming. If you didn't love this gen there is NOTHING to look forward to with next gen. It is all the same stuff! Knack - The colorful game in the bunch. The promise of story telling and emotion are promised - enter The Dark Sorcerer - Some satanic worship and yelling. Cool graphics. Kind of funny cut scene. Is this a game? I guess so. Now to Indies... New person to talk to us and some Supergiant Games people (the people that made Bastion). Game reveal: Transistor - Odd art style. Really big sword. I like the music. Looks like another bastion type game. They come out and talk a bunch of other indie games - I don't know if it is exclusive or not. The only thing I'm sure of is the fact I can play these on PS4. Some of them look really cool. I really liked the 2D space shooter one at the end. "Exclusive Console Debut" - looks like there are some cool games in there. Diablo III talk - Really, someone still talks about this game? wow. Still though, as a 4 player split screen event, might be worth it.

Squenix takes the stage. Versus XIII - On to a trailer. Hum. again floating planes and such, Swords and guns. Knights people. The blend of Technology and 'today' look and feel looks interesting, yet odd. Looks like another 3rd person action game. The graphics look dated already. Looks like it should have been on the PS3. LOL. I wonder if they can get people to buy a whole new console based on a game that didn't come out for the last console they bought to play it on... Oh it is rebranded to FF XV now. That should make people happier about last gens disappointment. And now a Kingdom Hearts reveal. Finally, something geared for playing in front of my kids. On to an Asscreed 30 trailer. Oh good. It has been a while since I had a chance to play with some AssCreed. I mean a good 3-6 months or so. But there are pirates now! It has all the same elements from all the others. Look how stealthily he sloshes through all the plants and water. Best... Assassin... Ever... lol. Then onto a Ship fight! Lol... the game crashes at the end! Nailed it!!! guy quickly exits the stage and Watch Dogs steps up to hopefully take away from the moment. Watch Dogs - This actually looks interesting - it slowly bleeds out of me. Stealth in a car... it is probably the guy driving down the wrong side of the road you twats! and onto a car chase. Looks like you get to hack cameras all the time and setup places to sneak around with. Searching for mobile player? Hum, you have to play with other people to play the game? I hope that isn't true gameplay expectations. It looked really fun until then. Not exclusive though - so whatever. Not a selling point of a console. Now switch over to goofy sports titles. Lets show off Lebron... I hate big sports stars. Onto Elder Scrolls... Online... Play Online with my friends. Hum... If there is one thing I have always wanted to do while playing an elders scrolls game is have some griefer screw it up for me. Mad Max - Wow, out of no where comes a game from the movies from the 80's. I don't know which is worse, a movie tie in game, or a movie tie in for a game from 3 decades ago.

On to the close...

- No restrictions on Used games

- Finally! Disc based games. You buy it you own it. People are still cheering for this one.

- Full games don't need to be connected online to play. (Disc based games)

- Single player games will play without an internet connection. And it won't stop working if it doesn't authenticate in 24 hours. Some crap to share facebook stuff and other lame social media.

PS Plus members ($5 a month) required for online multiplayer. I wonder if anyone noticed this... This is the XBL gold account. $5 a month. ($60 a year). Same as the Xbox.

Destiny gameplay reveal - "Earth many years from now" - Multiplayer game - fancy I guess. Lets slog through the graphics as we walk very boringly along here... It is like the gameplay is scripted and not live... either that or it sucks. Looks like you can cast elements onto your weapon types. Kind of like Boarderlands. Different classes. Lots of upgrade options and such. Looks like it takes elements of Borderlands and expands on them a bit. Looks interesting actually. It looks like there are a lot of online only events and such though... (They try to make chat back and forth as they play the game... like this really happens... more like everyone would be calling my mom gay or something instead) Now they try to get me interested in the story. Hum...

------- Still not done, lets talk "cloud" All access service in 2014 to the US. Provides PS4, PS3, Vita - They can play PS3 games. Streamed games... So, what does PS3 people want with this? Why not just get the game on the PS3? Hum, not sold. Maybe okay for me though as I will be able to play PS3 games I missed? hum. And now the price: - $399 is the price! - $100 off the Xbone. and it is over.

Well, at least it is a next gen console, without all the next gen BS. The only thing I think people will have a fit over is the PS Plus requirement to play online. Meh, who plays online? Not me. Looks like PS truly is where I will land eventually - that is if new types of games keep coming.
