4) E3 2017
Sony’s E3 2017 saw the continuation of the game trailer after game trailer press conference structure. As it had in the years before, and even the previous PSX showcase, it kept the focus on the games and the excitement high.
Focus was certainly on the first-party exclusives that were revealed in 2016. We were treated to another look at God of War, introduced to another of Detroit: Become Human’s protagonists, and we were shown some gameplay of Days Gone.
That’s not to say there were no surprise announcements, however; they just weren’t on the level of the two previous years. Bluepoint’s Shadow of the Colossus remake was revealed, as was Monster Hunter World and some PSVR exclusives, but none of them were as shocking as 2015 or 2016’s. The games looked great, and the conference flowed well, it was just lacking true surprise.
