so the PlayStation experience showcase just ended and it was certainly a press conference not nearly as strong as what we saw earlier this year at e3 which is a little disappointing but you can kind understand it because they got so much out of the way back there and now we just have a few still pretty big announcements but not nearly as many there are basically three huge things we learned and then a lot of other stuff crammed in the middle of this press conference that might appeal to some fans but not anything that was super huge hype inducing so what was the strong opening well we had a trailer that I think a lot of people weren't really sure what it was until the very last second we got a big reveal that we are getting a new Uncharted game that is a spinoff not starring Drake but instead Chloe who we last saw in uncharted 3 now what's really interesting about this trailer is that Uncharted is normally seen as a very sort of action adventure platforming kind of focus game which there's still elements of that in here but this looks much more like a stealth game there's been stealth gameplay and uncharted before but it's been terrible so to see a game that actually focuses on that using the Uncharted formula I'm really curious to see how this final product looks because it could be a very welcome change or not a great idea seeing the franchise Livan though with a different character really interesting now the second announcement and by far the biggest for me is the rumor has been confirmed Marvel vs. Capcom 4 is happening except it's called Marvel vs. Capcom Infinite probably playing on the Infinity stones that take a big plot point for the Marvel Cinematic movies now this trailer was very short it only showed us four characters for Marvel we got Iron Man and Captain Marvel who is going to be one of the later movies happening in the universe and on the Capcom side we got Ryu who is in everything from Capcom and more importantly for me Mega Man X he is finally back in something even though the series has long been dead these are my favorite characters when my favorite games of all time so seeing him is something new I am just so happy to finally see my child back now it was after this point that the press conference got a little more mixed we had a really kind of hodgepodge mixture of a lot of different mounts Mints some cool some not so much one of the things that I felt kind of mixed about is that we got a lot of HD collections but the way they presented them it almost looked like we were being teased something new from these fan cult hit franchises no not really they're just HD remakes which is kind of cool but not quite the same level we're getting a wipeout collection we finally saw a game play for the crash collection which does look phenomenal and we're getting a 20th anniversary remake of Parappa the rapper with a demo going live today now along with this we also got lots of new trailers and this was one of the really big weak points of the conference for me was that we focused on new trailers for stuff that we already know thoroughly enough about yes horizon zero dawn looks like it might be one of the coolest games of 2017 we've seen enough trailers yes Last Guardian is finally coming out in three days we don't need a new trailer for height and yeah risen evil 7 we're getting a new demo but once again we've seen lots of trailers already a quick announcement would have been enough we also got the announcement of a lot of ports for a PlayStation 4 PlayStation Vita and PlayStation VR lots of games that have already been available on PC that yes if you haven't got the chance to play them before is cool but it wasn't really enough to keep the hype train rolling the only one that was really awesome is that we are finally getting a localization for Yakuza 6 and Yakuza kiwami aside from that a lot of stuff that you've already able to play for quite some time now peppered in all of these little mixed announcements we did get a few new games some of which are exciting some which not so much nack to a game that I'm pretty sure almost no one was asking for but it's happening it's adding co-op which might be cool but not exactly game a lot of us expected to hear back from again one that looked really interesting to me was next MOC Inanna these are from the same guys that did resogun which was a very simple arcade game that came out when the PlayStation 4 was launched it was very pretty it was very simple but it was extremely addictive so something new from then that seems to follow in the same vein hopefully adding some kind of co-op option as well looks really exciting one of the more interesting things that happen during this press conference is that we actually got a lot of games announced for releasing today some of these others ports I was talking about earlier like Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 one of the most bizarre ones though the new game from grasshopper manufacturer let it die which we've heard about forever and all of a sudden has come out today and is a free to play ps4 game which I'm definitely dive into later day hopefully it's good I love No More Heroes so we'll see how this is so after all of that all these kind of middling announcements of things that were kind of cool not cool of things weird to know about and things that only matter to ten people on the earth we finally got the closing announcement and it's something that we've heard about before something that you know we thought was a rumor that was dispelled but it's happening The Last of Us part two and I don't know how I feel about that now don't get me wrong I loved the original Last of Us it was an amazing game and part of what made it amazing was its perfect ending it was a closed circuit it told the story it needed to tell so to make a new game that continues this on even using a time skip even maybe adding new plot elements or calling back to the events of the original game in some way it just feels like a very easy opportunity to ruin everything on the name of something that you know is going to make a lot of money damn it please don't let this be the matrix all over again
