This is actually the first time a conference other than Sony has been during "unsociable hours" for me. Sony has been the same time for years (1800/1900PT, therefore 0200/0300 for me) so it's something I'm used to.
Tbh other than Sony the conferences are all at kinda weird times this year. Normally they're over two days, with the earliest (usually Nintendo, that one time Bethesda) being on Sunday and all of the rest being on Monday. This year there's like one or two per day from Saturday to Tuesday, it doesn't make much sense.

Man, they REALLY hit hard on that backwards compatibility message. I hope that that message hits through to Sony soon, too — especially given some folks' recent comments on not getting it.
Also, I really wanna play the Ori games at some point. :3

The Blind Forest is such a great game. I played it sometime after Hyper Light Drifter and it was just this perfect transition of gameplay styles and stylized aesthetics. Really suggest playing the two back to back xD
I'm really happy to see OG Xbox get backwards compatibility there are some truly amazing games locked on that console and it would be great to play them again.
They showcased Crimson Skies as an example , but I would love to see Jade Empire (an old Bioware game) get ported too.
Sadly I don't think PS4 will ever get it as tight as Xbox does in this department. Between trying really hard to sell PSNow service and PS3's impossible game structure I don't think it will happen.
At least we can buy PS1/2 games still =/
Exclusives!
Anyone else think they legit only actually had like 2 real exclusives up there? xD

Technically they had none, since they release everything on PC now.
But yeah as a conference overall it wasn't complete trash, but we're talking about it now and they really could have hammered it home by showcasing some decent games on that new hardware. Which they didn't actually do. I was relatively unimpressed by most of it.
The most exciting thing for me was Anthem, and even then I wasn't blown away. Still a conference with lots of talking and stupid shit like cars on stage.
And that $499 price tag with nothing to justify it except hardware, that's a blow. Flat exchange $671 CAD. It might have more raw power than a pro but with no knockout games to showcase, people can play better exclusives on almost-equivalent hardware for $100 less. GAF is already saying "DoA" and sharing excellent memes like
