I'm pretty sure most of what you're describing happened at the reveal event and not the E3 conference.
Ah you're right I got them mixed up.
So are we relying on Sony and Nintendo to save E32017?
Mario Odyssey will save E3, and hey Cuphead looked phenomenal.
It wasn't a bad conference, it was snappy with lots of in game footage letting the games speak for themselves.
It's just that the games weren't too hype.
