both press conf's were great but i have to give the edge to Sony, they just showed a shit ton of games with the best of them all, GOW
+Peace Walker, holy shit MGS3 sequel!
+Trico looks wonderful.
+Sony's waggle actually looks like the best tech of the three, though early.
+Gran Turismo 5 with WRC and NASCAR licenses, wow!
+Ass Creed 2 looks fully realized, really impressed, will buy PC version.
+GT Mobile finally, took long enough. ~GT4 graphics, looks good.
-Uncharted 2 has nice visuals, but the shooting did not impress. Reminds me of Kane and Lynch with the solid line gunfire, and it's absolutely absurd that a gunship cannon isn't penetrating an office table.
-Kart racer game looks to have horrid gameplay.
-God of War 3 is GoW2 HD, not impressed.
-I read GAF during the Home garbage.

PSP content was great. Glad I have a PSP 2000....not interested in the Go especially at that price. Not interested in the disco ball for the PS3 at all. Uncharted looked good. Excited for TRICO.

MAG = Promising. Something I'd be interested in.
Uncharted 2 = Looked amazing, but like the first one, seemed real light on gameplay. Just keep advancing forward through narrowly defined paths and watch the next scripted event. Get shot as much as you want. Doesn't matter.
PSP stuff = Don't care.
Agent = Logo, The Game!
Cart Racing Game (forget the name) = A lot of fun. Day 1 for me.
Dildo Motion Control = The most embarrassing segment of any conference this year. The tech was so wonky the guy couldn't hit a tennis ball in multiple tries. The crosshairs flickered across the screen like he was standing 50 feet away. Awful.
Final Fantasy stuff = Don't care, not my scene.
Last Guardian = Looked very nice, but was that a music video or a game? No gameplay at all?
God of War III = Smoking hot.
No price drop = Massive failure. They might as well have held the conference in a bar and invited all the existing PS3 owners to come on by for as much as this will mean to non-PS3 owners.
Some bad, some good. Sony = C. MS = B. Didn't really watch Nintendo.

Yes, at the end.
The montages were a complete waste of time and the GoW3 demo was almost as bad as the Halo ODST demo. It was the same tired shit all over again. Apart from prettier graphics, that whole thing looked like GoW2, complete with a giant "boss" in the background that does absolutely nothing to hurt you. Even the goddamn combos looked the same. If you want some real action games, look towards Ninja Gaiden 2 Sigma or Bayonetta.
I thought both Sony and MS were about neck and neck in terms of output, with maybe a slight edge to MS with natal over the wand thing tech demo.
Nintendo (as usual) didn't do shit for me. Metroid looked cool enough, and obviously I won't hate on SMG2 (even though it looks like the exact same game + yoshi).
My game of the show so far is SplinterCell: Conviction, tailed by The Last Guardian.
with nods to Alan Wake, MW2, Uncharted, and Metroid
Totally let-down by MAG

Sony has NEVER, NEVER announced a new firmware at a conference. Despite all the many I've seen, they never have. Firmware comes when its actually finished.Ashour said:

- Agent Megaton
- FFIV megaton
- Trico shown
- GT5/GTmobile
- Motion control that takes the best of both wii motion+ and ms 3d camera...
- uncharted 2 looked better than anything outthere.. and then some
- MGS for PSP bitch slapped the weak multiplatform MGS Rising announcement...
- PSP getting a ton of stuff... LBP looked great ...
Scorecard
Nintendo: C+
MS: B+
SONY: A (would have been an A++++++ if pricedrop would have been announced)

- Uncharted 2 looked incredible, possibly gonna be my GOTY.
- MAG looks brown, boring, and the interface looks like a clusterfuck.
- Very impressed by Assassin's Creed 2. Liked the first one despite its problems, this one should be a lot better.
- Trico, probably gonna be a masterpiece but the bird thing creeps me out a little.
- God of War 3 looks like it's gonna be a great time, but nothing breathtaking in the demo.
- Motion sensor: I liked the fact that they showed tech demos instead of some fabricated 'vision' trailer, but it looked really early.
- Modnation racers or something: fell asleep
Good conference overall, but they could have trimmed it a bit, it felt too long in the end.

I think I liked what Sony had to show more than any other conference....but it was spread out across multiples years/platforms.....I mean shit the end of 2009 feels empty for PS3
There is no way they are going to sell 13 million PS3s this year w/o a price-drop and/or the PS3 slim. After this announcement I would almost guarantee $299 PS3 Slim for the holiday
oh yeah....it's FFXIV
if you can't use rom. numerals just use numbers :lol
- 2010 = GT5, God of War 3, Final Fantasy XIII, Final Fantasy XIV (which I think may get me into MMOs if SW:ToR doesn't) and Last Guardian, Sony motion controller (which is probably the best actual motion controller tech)....hell even that Mod Nation is 2010
- 2009 they seemed to shift everything to PSP; Assassin's Bloodlines, LBP, MGS, Jake GT:Mobile
- Uncharted 2 looks great for 2009 on PS3 but I was not impressed by MAG at all.
- And where were the PSN titles......? Trine, Pixeljunk Shooter, Fat Princess....not mentioned at all outside of one of those montages

Great conference, especially in the end. I think MS's conference was overall a bit better but only because Sony used too many montages to show off their games.
Also, was Soul Calibur for PSP announced beforehand or was that a new reveal? Caught me off guard.

It's the ICO team. I doubt any one was doubting that they will deliver a special experience. Too bad the trailer was leaked though, it would have made the show much better if we didn't know about most of that stuff.
PSP Go at 250 USD is too much. Why would some one buy that when they can get a PSP 3000?
i agree with ppl that the pacing was shit. microsoft had a good pacing.
but hell the uncharted heli fight.... this game is a beast. The Griffon looks way nicer than in the leaked old trailer. Good e3 overall (galaxy and metroid saved Nintedos ass )
Good for alle gamers. now i await 5 threads with "who won" "why did Sony lost" "why did nintendo lost e3" etc.

Sony did ok. They managed to stay afloat after the MS press is already impressive. Plenty of games but a lot of them are multi-platform. The "wand"... errrmmmmm... a bit shit really. I am sure it will work, but they will never steal away Wii people with that. It will be a rough year for them.
Solid conference. I think they all were. Each one had their ups and downs. (MOTION CONTROL! LETS ALL PAINT! CASUAL CASUAL MURDER CLUB CASUAL!) but each delivered games. That's all that matters.
If you are a gamer, you should STFU and be crying tears with your already empty wallet dead in your shaking hands. If you're talking sales and bullshit, I hate you. GAMES PEOPLE.
FINAL FANTASY FUCKING XIV ONLINE! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

As far as conferences, MS wins presentation, Sony wins content (but God they need to work on presentation skills - so incredibly disjointed. I think they should have just had the first hour, and last 15 minutes, and left the rest out)
This Fall SC-Conviction, R&C, and the godly Uncharted 2
Next year FFXIII, ME2, GoW3, GT5, and most especially The Last Guardian
TLG is the coolest looking game I've seen in a LONG time!

GOW3 = Best of the Show
They exceeded my expectations on the PS3 front, although I wasn't expecting much. I liked FFXI, so fuck the FFXIV haters. Yesterday the GAF consensus was SE would never make the game a PS3 exclusive, and now the game is a laughing stock. Surprise, surprise. I am disappointed not to see substantial LBP DLC, though. As for a price cut and the slim, they're both practically confirmed so it's just a matter of time. With the slim coming out around September a Leipzig announcement made more sense from the get-go.
PSP software was great, but the PSP Go is DOA. If the PSP Go had a touchscreen and PSN integration I'd be all over it. But all the good PSP games in the world are not going to reignite my interest in the platform without a good hardware revision. And when the PSP Go doesn't take off I don't think Sony will have another chance with an upgraded PSP Go, because there won't be any developer support in 2010.

INDIGO_CYCLOPS said:Unbelievable conference, loved finally getting a name for Ueda's new game. All the improvements look spectacular and my god the gameplay towards the end. Anyone saying "same old trailer" clearly didn't watch the whole thing.
I have an Uncharted 2 code up for grabs, who wants it?
I WANT THAT CODE!
In terms of awesome gaming content I'll give best in show to Sony.
MS topped them in the style and pizazz category but came up light with the hardcore titles.
I think Microsoft's motion controller looked the best and put on the best demonstration, but Sony's tech was cool if not as sexy.

Good conference all around, if it wasn't for all the leaks and pre-announcements, Sony would have had a killer show. 90% of the conference was about games and thats impressive when you have 2 hours to fill. A twisted Metal announcement or price drop or PS3 slim would have been nice.
