The subtitle of your article summarises it best, good to hear you noticed that painful fact.
I wasn’t overwhelmed, maybe due to the odd time of the show, maybe because of the usual exaggeration that is poured over everything in these US style shows, like a topping on a cake you’re not overly convinced of.
It felt a bit a drag, with every game being allowed about 32 seconds, just to move on to the next. The advantage is, of course you don’t need to sit through those annoying, endless sports game presentations, so it is quite efficient. But then, there’s nothing that really stands out of the mass.
Why is TSA not in the jury?

I thought Sony were going to announce the release dates for Dreams, TLoU2 and Days Gone?
Tuffcub
Days Gone has a release date, March.
TSBonyman
Maybe the third one was something else then but i guess we’re still waiting to find out about the others.
aerobes
Ghost of Tsushima?
TSBonyman
Yep – that was it aerobes, PushSquare had that rumour before the show.
MOVE
Days Gone 26 April.

I watched it all on the the rumour of the MK11 reveal. It was worth the entire night. And the class of the slight of hand reveal that was fantastically played. Think I would have actually pissed myself had I actually been there

Disappointed on TLoU2 announcement but few game trailers have me looking forward to the future. Anthem is going to be shit hot! :)
