I liked Microsoft's show, they had a ton of games. Evolve, Witcher 3, Phantom Dust, Scalebound, Crackdown for Xbox One and Ori caught my eye. I hated the Project Spark Conker cameo though, I was so excited when I saw that loveable squirrel but then they just go and say he's a playable character in the game... Man, I was so hoping for a new Conker game.
EA's conference sucked big sweaty balls, I was so hyped to see new Mirror's Edge footage and they showed, what, a millisecond of prototype pre-alpha bullshit and talked about the future of the game. Fuck that, if you're going to have an in-engine trailer of the game when you reveal it then you better actually have something similar or better the next time you show it. Criterion's upcoming game seemed like a cool idea though.
Ubisoft was pretty crappy too, fitness games and Assassin's Creed... meh. Valiant Hearts looked nice. That new Rainbow 6 game didn't look bad either, but the fact that their "one last game" was that instead of Beyond Good & Evil 2, yet again, breaks my heart.
Sony's conference was alright, they had some cool stuff like announcing a Grim Fandango remake for PS4 and Vita I mean goddamn, that got me really excited. Bloodborne interested me a lot, but it was just a CG trailer even though there's screenshots and small gameplay clips of it floating around on the internet, why couldn't they just actually show gameplay instead, ugh. Mortal Kombat X looked fun and they showed some new characters too, pretty cool. Far Cry 4 footage was surprisingly dull... their 'big thing', Uncharted 4, was also pretty shitty in my opinion, I couldn't care less about that series, I was hoping for a re-reveal of The Last Guardian for PS4. Oh well...
