Conferences
E3 2015 easily had the best conferences. That’s not to say that 2016 had horrible showings. But if we’re being completely honest with ourselves, this year’s press conferences were just last year’s with bonus features – sort of like buying the Blu-ray of a film you’ve already seen. Last year was filled with a seemingly endless stream of wow moments, and that just led to a mountain of memories that would never be forgotten.
Pele took to the EA stage, a friggin’ sports car was lowered from the ceiling during the Microsoft conference, and Sony brought out Final Fantasy VII and Shenmue III. It might have been the fact that this generation was still relatively new, but companies seemed to show bigger things during E3 2015. In 2016, aside from Microsoft revealing two new consoles and Sony once again remastering players’ dreams, the conferences were relatively dull.
