How do you perplex an audience of gamers? Sony began their E3 2017 show with a musical number performed by live sitar players and drummers. Then, for maximum confusion, just as the new trailer for Uncharted: the Lost Legacy<\/a> started, Sony dropped their audio feed for most outlets. Is this a Lara Croft game? No! It’s a spin-off from Uncharted, now with girl power tomb raiding. Don’t fix the audio just yet, Sony! You’ve got The Frozen Wilds DLC<\/a> for Horizon Zero Dawn to put on the big screen and make gamers strain to hear it.<\/p>\n

Unfettered by the need to push any new hardware, Sony concentrated on PlayStation games. Here, a tease for the PlayStation 4 remaster of Shadow of the Colossus<\/a>. There, an extended look at Detroit: Become Human<\/a>‘s main character and android revolutionary, Marcus. Sandwiched in-between was another look at totally not Walking Dead Days Gone<\/a>. If spandex heroes mashed up with videogame licensed characters are your thing, Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite<\/a> has got you covered. We got a peek at Call of Duty: WW II<\/a>‘s cinematic take on action warfare. Monster Hunter: World<\/a> reminded all the Horizon fans what fighting dinosaurs used to be like. Destiny 2<\/a> rolled out their first big bad guy, Dominus Ghaul, who should absolutely not remind anyone of a Halo boss.<\/p>\n

PlayStation VR got some time on the stage. Bethesda announced Skyrim VR<\/a> for everyone that thought clumsy-looking VR waggling should be extended to dragon shouts and Nords. If that wasn’t your thing, you could guide a mouse through VR environments in Moss<\/a>. Too cute? Try The Inpatient<\/a>, a VR horror title that takes players through another ho-hum haunted sanitarium.<\/p>\n

Sony wrapped their show with two headline games. There was an extended trailer for God of War<\/a>, with Kratos teaching his son how to commune with nature and find his inner peace. Also, how to tear his enemies apart by hand. The show ended with a good chunk of Insomniac’s Spider-Man<\/a>. In the clip, the fearless web-slinger hit a dozen quick-time events and aped Rocksteady’s Batman as hard as he could. The quips were solid though, so the game has that going for it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
