Sony leaned on PlayStation’s stellar in-house game lineup at E3 2018, with long looks at The Last of Us Part II, Spider-Man, Death Stranding, and Ghost of Tsushima.
We’re basically in Sony’s victory lap stage. At this point it’s clear who’s “won” the console generation I think, and with rumors of a 2020 launch for new hardware it’s about time to settle in, pump out the last few exclusives, and then gear up for the next battle.
Of course, a few non-exclusives did manage to sneak in there (albeit briefly). In the interest of completion, we’ve gone ahead and rounded up all the announcements and trailers below.
As I said, Sony committed to showing very long clips of just a few games this year, and The Last of Us Part II was our first glimpse of that strategy. The demo went on extremely long by E3 standards, which is certainly an interesting change of pace. I just wish there’d been more variety after that initial cut from party-to-killing.
And that’s it. Pretty light on announcements, as promised. Just about an hour total, with very few third-party games and very little that’s applicable to us on the PC. It’s the end of a very long weekend of game announcements though, with seven different press conferences and dozens of trailers. That’s just the start of E3 too. Stay tuned all week, as we keep pumping out hands-on previews and video content for all 2018’s upcoming games. And thanks for sticking with us all weekend! It’s been a long one, but we made it.
