E3 2015 - Sony Press Conference

This has been a long time coming, and I should be ashamed of myself for not posting this sooner.  I've waited long enough to tell you if the E3 2015 Sony Press Conference passed mustard.  It's always nice when a conference starts on a high, and keeps on giving through the whole thing.

The first game was conceived as a poetic story of friendship and adventure.  At least that's what Shawn Layden tells us.  He's not wrong though, and the gameplay trailer for The Last Guardian looked amazing.  Some of it's age is showing through in some of the animations being used, the walking and moving around and such.  It kind of reminds me of the VERY first Prince of Persia game, where you would stop moving but the character would just keep moving on it's own.  I love me a puzzle platformer, and coming out in 2016 it will probably end up on the shelf.

Herman Hulst of Guerrila Games came out to introduce something brand new.  A game where you are a female hunter and you hunt down giant robotic dinosaurs with a bow and arrow.  It's called Horizon Zero Dawn.  I'm hoping that you can do some upgrades or weapon crafting and so on, but we only get a look at one hunt.  This is definitely a good move for Sony, cause they NEED more female leads.

Up next is the new Hitman game.  I'm not looking forward to this as much as some of my friends are.  The trailer was pretty cool, and the Square/Enix press conference and the PC Gaming Conference gave us a better look at what can be done in the game.  Here we are told that the world will be alive and changing as the game is played, and that the Playstation 4 will get a BETA releaase of the game when you pre-order.

Street fighter 5 is coming, and all this tells us is that Cammie and Birdie will be in it. Oh and you can pre-order on PS4 with a public beta on July 23rd.

Sean Murray from Hello Games gives us a live demo of No Man's Sky.  Starts off with a bit of space combat, then he pulls out, not a little, but a lot.  Like a Galaxy away!  He warps to another star system, an undiscovered solar system, and then lands on a planet and walks around.  I think it's so cool that there isn't just one world, but thousands to explore!  There's no release date yet, but it just looks awesome!

Now this is just the first half hour!  Definitely passed mustard!
