They also, aside from those crappy developments, had live demos of Gears, Fallout, RE5, Fable 2, and new looks at Viva, Banjo, and announcements about Rock Band, GHWT, and a bunch of Squeenix RPGs.
Not just that stuff you mentioned.

They focused on what was coming out THIS YEAR. That hardly 'more games coming'. They;ll do that crap this week.M3Freak said:
I personally don't care about FF13 but I thought the MS' conference was better (or at least more enjoyable). It was condensed, had demonstrations, was fast-paced and to the point with nearly no PR bullshit (and it had a fat dancing lady)... this was +2 hours of PR talk, montages and CG trailers with no real "WOW!" moments.btkadams said:
I liked the LBP PowerPoint presentation though

I don't know what people expect from these conferences. Everyone in here complains like little bitches and appears to be the expert on what Microsoft, Sony, or Nintendo should be doing.
Sony had the better conference offering CHOICES in terms of content on all platforms.

The collective anger of GAF (mine included) is annhilating the forum's server.
As it should be.

Did Sony just win the console war? :lol at G4 trying to act like this was somehow a letdown. Admittedly, they did more of an overview than demoing games. But come on... Ratchet and Clank Future: Quest for Booty, MAG, DC Universe Online, inFamous, Resistance 2, Resistance: Liberation, God of War III, and HOME living spaces. Not to mention the video store that will go up tonight. Seriously, Sony shit all over Nintendo and Microsoft. One criticism I would level is that Jack Tretton shouldn't be forced to talk as long as he did. The games should be doing that. They could have showed more or included live demos. Overall, best conference since Sony and Nintendo's 2005 E3 showings. Hell yeah! Now that's how you do a conference. Final grade: A-. Great job Sony.
For recap here is what I thought of the others:
Microsoft: C-
Nintendo: D+
Sony: A-
No Heavy Rain or Uncharted 2 was a letdown, but they are just not ready it seems. Neither is Wardevil. Sony still has another event to generate even more hype. Beyond satisfied. Great job.

I thought it was alright. No big shocks, but the show was entertaining and interesting enough throughout, which is more than I can say for Microsoft and Nintendo's extended pleas for the babies and geezers demographic. Looking forward to Resistance, Ratcher and Clank, Infamous, the Agency and DC Universe.
And I don't even have a PS3.

which is a great thing, I thought it was a travesty it never took off in the first place - similar to alliance....but the design doc sounded exactly the same. hopefully zipper can make it work, but there are a lot more problems in the MMOFPS than an MMORPG

Am I fucking in BIZARRO land? Almost as bad as Nintendo? What in the shit? Did you freaks honestly expect GoW 3 gameplay or something? There was good stuff announced, good games shown, PSN hotness, PSP hotness and some teasers. Almost as bad as Nintendo? They even lightened up the stupid sales charts everyone does! :lol
It wasn't OMG mega awesome, but it was a good, safe conference with a bunch of games coming out this year, some announcements, and a brief look into next year Same with MS. You are delusional.
godhandiscen said:
do you only play unannounced games, or do you sometimes play ones that are announced as well?
:lol
p.s. Sony is showing what they will be selling in next 6 months and that was shit load of games... why would they move point from that to something beyond that? They have shitload of exclusives just coming out.
Hootie said:
Same here. I'm almost definitely gonna end up with a PS3 at some point, but a Team ICO announcement would probably speed up the purchase.
Overall, I'm pretty disappointed with the way gaming is heading in general. Nintendo seems overly casual and Microsoft and Sony seem overly hardcore/bland shooter-y (don't kill me
). Seriously, the games I most look forward to after all three conferences are Flower and LittleBigPlanet.And another thing, what is with CGI trailers? I mean, if the game is in such an early stage that no in-game footage is available, then just tells us about it; no need for a silhouette standing on top of a volcano talking. How much does that tells us about the game?

MS A-, Sony C+, Nintendo: DNF
Major FAIL.
Too much blabbering about everything under their umbrella. No significant reveals (do not give a FUCK about CG trailers - DO NOT WANT) and fucking NO DATES.
What are they holding back for? What about their horde of 1st party games? There was nothing significant and they truly got owned by Microsoft this e3 conference; they didn't even deliver a consistently strong conference by constantly unveiling stuff we want -- or give enough showtime to stuff that we're getting this year.
They need to rethink the way they approach the show. Who the fuck do they think are watching? Industry insiders and industry people. They know the numbers, they know the story. They want STUFF. Man. Disappointed.
