PlayStation E3 2017 press conference in 5 minutes

God of War. Spider-Man. Horizon Zero Dawn. A new Call of Duty. Choose-your-own sci-fi adventure Detroit. Big-budget zombie game Days Gone. A VR thing for Final Fantasy XV.

That was Sony from E3 2016. This year, the company showed off… well… God of War. Spider-Man. Another Horizon Zero Dawn. A new Call of Duty — now in World War II.

Choose-your-own sci-fi adventure Detroit. Big-budget zombie game Days Gone. And a VR thing for Final Fantasy XV — this time fishing.

That isn’t to say it was a bad show from Sony — far from it, in fact, as each of those games have taken the year to really improve themselves. There was also a new Uncharted adventure, a remastered Shadow of the Colossus, and some Destiny 2 exclusives. Here’s everything you might’ve missed.

There were, alas, no Halo or Gears of War this year.
