After a hard day where we chained the conferences of Square Enix, Ubisoft and the PC Gaming Show, it was necessary to finish late but with an important conference, that of Playstation. The publisher/builder is highly anticipated for its big IPs and the announcements that could be made. But what is it really?
After a strange little musical intro, the conference is finally launched! Here we are in a room gently reminiscent of the communal village hall. It is true that the décor contrasts with that of last year.
Then arrives the composer of The Last Of Us, Gustavo Alfredo Santaolalla to scratch the music of the famous game.
TLOU 2 starts Playstation conference
It is at this precise moment that we understand the choice of the village hall! Ellie is at the center of this rather personal trailer. We do not tell you more, you will see for yourself! This is followed by a gameplay sequence, the first on the game: Ellie evolves stealthily in a hostile forest… No date announced.
Subsequently, we are announced 4 big games present in the conference. There are also 4 different rooms to accommodate announcements / games. God of War will even have the right to its New Game +.
Call of Duty: Black Ops III is coming to PSN+ just tonight!
Games teased quickly:
- Tetris Effect
- Days Gone
- Twin Mirror
- Ghost Giant
- Beat Saber VR
Technical incidents can happen even to the best, as Sony's stream starts crashing!
Ghost of Tsushima
Introduced by a "flute" solo to set the mood, the trailer specifies that the action takes place during the Mongol invasion.Then follows a crazy ride in the flowery fields and a well-paced fight against soldiers. After some stealth eliminations, it's time for an epic duel.
Control
So this is the mystery project that Remedy is working on. We knew that and now we have confirmation. And those who have played Quantum Break will clearly feel the elements of similarity, especially for powers and time management. Recall that this is not an exclusive, since Remedy had specified, before officially revealing its project, that it was a multi-support game.
Resident Evil 2 Remake
We knew it in the bins. Here it is finally and as a bonus, with a release date: January 25, 2019.
Trover Saves The Universe
It is therefore a platform game that is revealed!
Kingdom Hearts 3
Probably one of the most highlighted games during this E3. But we are still delighted to see Jack Sparrow and Will Turner !
A special PS4 pro KH3 is announced.
Death Stranding
Kojima's baby is back in the news, with a new trailer. Norman Redux evolves in different environments, without really knowing what it is about. Truth be told, it's impossible to know what the genre of the game is: survival? Action adventure? Horror? The mystery remains whole. Still, Léa Seydoux makes her appearance and something threatening looms.
Nioh 2
Team Ninja's punitive action RPG is back, no release date but we know it's here!

Marvel's Spider-Man
It's time for Spidey to go rub shoulders with slightly upset inmates! Fans will recognize some well-known faces like Electro, The Vulture, Rhino, Scorpion…
Uprooted
The conference ends with a new game from FromSoftware, planned for PS VR: Déraciné. It's also time to do a little debrief on PSVR games!
If the Playstation conference was a little disjointed at first with the alternation of live and replay, the rest went relatively well. Players who wanted gameplay will be happy, those who wanted excludes too. Overall, the conference was of high quality, even if it was a little below last year's show.
