Support NeoGAF

[Poetic.Injustice]

BG&E 2 seems to be cancelled, Ancel is busy working on that game for Sony.

 

[WooHooAlex]

Rating the press conferences so far.

1a. Bethesda
1b. Ubisoft
3. Microsoft

 

[Hollycat]

Bethesda: A
Ubisoft: B
Microsoft: C+ (painfully average)

EA: C?
I'll be honest, I skimmed this one.

 

[Acquiescence]

I give it 4/10. Far too often it was just immensely cringeworthy to watch. Aisha Tyler gets worse every year. Apart from South Park, the games that were shown did little to excite me, either because we'd seen demonstrations of them before at the event or they were just another installment in a well worn franchise.

And what's the obsession with non-stop killing and violence all about.

 

[KingSnake]

Hey, no need to confuse Splinter Cell with that other generic crap!

You just wait for the new cinematic open world Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Keyword at E3 2016 and then we can discuss about it.

 

[Riposte]

That was a great conference and the best part was the pacing. The only major dip was the Just Dance segment and maybe some awkwardness (that's already redeemed itself in MEMES). Aisha can be cringy at times, but remains genuine and funny. A good number and variety of games, all presented well (including a very strong opening with South Park). One downside is that they made AC a cg trailer rather than having us see it being played, but they had a bunch of live demos at least. I give it an A.

EDIT:
Microsoft B-
EA D
Bethesda... uh, B

 

[AdanVC]

Seriously guys, E3 2015 has been nothing but a freaking CG film festival. So dissapointed so far. We didn't even saw AC Syndicate gameplay what the FUCK!?

 

[SillyJoe]

All over the place -- good stuff. Looking forward to that next South Park game.

 

[wanderingprostheyltite]

I too had boners for this shot. Sadly I doubt it'll look this nice at release.

 

[Gurthang]

was hoping for PoP and BG&E2

 

[-duskdoll-]

heh they do need to bring back Mr. Caffeine. He can keep the show entertaining.

Nope, Aisha is perfect where she is imo.

 

[Zombegoast]

I give this conference 5 climbable towers out of 10.

 

[sheamus]

Ubi: A lots of great games and they seem to have fun with it
Bethesda: B- Great showing for their first year
Microsoft: C+ I can't really explain why Microsoft was disappointing it's just a feeling.
EA: D+ Ea you should thank God that you have dice.

 

[MrToughPants]

I usually hate UBI but they brought it with actual game play, the meme, and Ghost Recon.

 

[DOWN]

Bioterrorism plots are the lamest holy hell

 

[Soyongdori]

I didn't watch MS and EA conference. Was the EA that bad?

 

[JigglesBunny]

B-.

All points subtracted are from downgrades and Jason DeRulo.

 

[TM94]

Genuinely can't believe they didn't demo AC.

What's up with that?

 

[Windows RT]

My ranking:

Microsoft: B+
Bethesda = Ubisoft: B

EA: E

Sony: supposed to super

 

[Pandy]

Ubisoft streets ahead of the rest so far.

 

[iNvid02]

B+

the comedy routines gave them a little bump

 

[GavinUK86]

Bethesda - A
Microsoft - C
EA - D
Ubisoft - E

It's like I'm reciting the alphabet. Is Sony going to be a B?

 

[Shiggy]

Seems like Ubisoft has some toolbox from which they create open world games which all pretty much look and play the same. Pretty boring.

 

[Wavebossa]

Bethesda: A
Ubisoft: B
Microsoft: C+ (painfully average)

EA: C?
I'll be honest, I skimmed this one.

EA gets a D imo

 

[Tregard]

Three Tom Clancy games feels like over-egging the mixture, honestly. Spotty conferences so far.

Nintendo World Championship B+
Bethesda A
Microsoft B-
EA D
Ubisoft C

 

[Reedirect]

This conference could've used more Caffeine.

 

[Jigorath]

Nope, Aisha is perfect where she is imo.

She's not bad but Mr. Caffiene brought unmatched cringe.

 

[NullPointer]

AC: Syndicate'ss showing being a long CG trailer seems foreboding.

 

[Crossing Eden]

Not a single UbiArt release and no sign of whatever Ancel's been doing. A much more focused conference than what we've seen elsewhere so far, and devotees of the Tom Clancy brands are having a very good day, but there isn't anything here for me. (Well, maybe Anno.)

Pretty sure WiLD will be at the sony conference since it's a ps4 exclusive.

 

[DontBeThatGuy]

Watching these conferences with the Giant Bomb guys makes it a bit more difficult to get bored, but MS/Bethesda managed, UBI didn't. I only saw the end of EA.

 

[Ivan 3414]

Finally. Beyond Good & Evil 2 joins TLG, Agent, Half Life 3 and Shenmue 3.

Shenmue 3 doesn't deserve to be on this list.

It hasn't even been confirmed to have ever existed in any form.

 

[Lambtron]

TrackMania is going to rule. The rest of this looks like pretty boring, same-y AAA stuff that holds zero appeal for me.

 

[Cidd]

My E3 ratings so far.

Ubisoft : Crucially Imperative
EA: Crucially Imperative
Microsoft : Crucially Imperative
Bethesda : Crucially Imperative
Oculus : .... shit

 

[Growlie19]

Time to update my scores:

Bethesda: A-
Microsoft: B-
EA: D
Ubisoft: C+

Overall very solid. Aisha was annoying and Just Dance was just meh. Everything else was good. Hyped for Sony and Nintendo!

 

[XANDER CAGE]

I'm really down with Anno and For Honor and (fingers crossed) South Park.

Rainbow Six also seems good, although I'm starting to worry that it's not actually going to be the super tense tactical experience I want.

 

[T.O.P]

Bethesda 8.5
Microsoft 8.5
EA 7
Ubisoft 6.5

Trackmania was pretty much the only part that wowed me

 

[Vulcano's assistant]

Locations alone put this over the Division. The Andes > your big apple.

 

[Gentleman Jack]

Genuinely can't believe they didn't demo AC.

What's up with that?

They don't need to when people preorder on CG trailers alone.

 

[Rymuth]

Nintendo World Chamption A+

Shoot! Forgot about that!

 

[AlimNassor]

People like Aisha Tyler, really? She's horrible, I love her VA work but, fuck she is pretty bad.

 

[Morfeo]

You just wait for the new cinematic open world Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Keyword at E3 2016 and then we can discuss about it.

Hey, no need to break my heart!

 

[Kolx]

Is there some kind of a twitch chat for neogaf only?

 

[GWX]

I hoped till the end to see Beyond Good & Evil 2. Still not this year...

I actually tuned in for the possibility of it finally happening. I'm an idiot

edit: ranking time!

NWC - A
Bethesda - didn't watch
MS - C
EA - didn't watch
Ubi - D

 

[Milly Osworth]

Dont CG trailers cost millions to make? Whyyyyyyy

 

[sjay1994]

Genuinely can't believe they didn't demo AC.

What's up with that?

Because Sony is next.

They did the same thing with black flag

 

[Florida_Man_5000]

Tom Clancy fans....we gonna be livin like a fat man on thanksgiving! Ghost Recon back! Hell yeah. Need to see the multiplayer for that game. All we need now is a next gen Splinter Cell and Total War!

 

[Acquiescence]

So far it's
1st. Bethesda
2nd. Microsoft
3rd. Ubisoft
4th. EA

This is definitely the correct order.

 

[Ont]

That Ghost Recon trailer was my holy shit moment of this E3 (so far). I feel like that game is made for me. I generally hate all these open world games, but this game looks fun.

 

[BBboy20]

Doc Suess is losing his shit in a positive manner.

That just didn't look like Ghost Recon to me. =/

 

[Ray Wonder]

Bethesda
Microsoft
Ubisoft
Ea (I couldn't watch the whole thing though)
