Well, here we are again!  It's E3, all five major companies have shown off what to expect in the next year or so (Microsoft, Nintendo, Sony, EA, and Ubisoft), and the internet has  been all aflutter concerning what has come, what has been shown, and what is new.  

I want to know how everyone ranks the five E3 Presentations in terms of surprises, news, announcements, and your own personal opinions on what was shown.  Here are my rankings: 

5 - Ubisoft - Score: 3/10

After the amazing reveals of Watch Dogs, Assassin's Creed III, Rayman Legends, and Far Cry 3 last year, Ubisoft takes a dive with a boring, bland show that doesn't introduce us to a whole lot of new or original content, and is interspersed with unpleasant, awkward #girlwood jokes.  Huge disappointment from a company I genuinely admire for their support of all new consoles. 

4 - EA - Score: 7.5/10

I don't like EA (I don't think anyone actually likes the company), but they showed off some funny and impressive stuff here.  If you ignore BOUNCE-TEK physics for basketballs and the entire EA Sports segment in the middle, they showed a lot of cool stuff.  PEggle 2, Plants vs Zombies 2, Battlefield 4, TitanFall, Dragon Age, and Mirror's Edge 2 all look like their own sort of fun (even though I maintain a strong sense of caution regarding all titles).  That said, Battlefield 4's tower collapse and Mirror's Edge 2 were both awesome, and TitanFall looks like the best microsoft exclusive this year. 

3 - Microsoft - Score: 8/10

Seriously, the presentation itself was really good up until the price announcement. I thought they really delivered on their promise to bring the games, and a lot of what I saw was pretty damn impressive. TitanFall may be kinda generic, but it looks awesome.  Snagging Insomniac is a huge win, and Sunset Overdrive definitely looks like a game I'd gladly pick up if I had the Xbox One (and will on PS4 if it proves to be multiplat).  Ryse looks gorgeous and like it has potential, Curse of Brotherhood actually looked really awesome to me, Quantm Break has me intriqued, Project spark has me interested (if it didn't use Kinect and SmartGlass), and as I'm going through the list there's a lot I am finding I am eager for, even cautiously optimistic for Crimson Dragon and Dead rising 3.  Sadly, that price is too much (you could hear the crickets), and that rape joke was not something you say on live TV.  Smack Talk is alright between friends, but that was uncouth. I may pick up an Xbox One down the line, as the game list looks interesting, but the price and the features of the console itself are not appealing to me at all.

2 - Nintendo - Score: 8.5/10

I've never seen so much happy packed into such a small and short presentation.  Just know that they announced sequels to what I think are 2/3 of my favorite games from the 7th Generation:  Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze and Smash Brothers.  I recently purchased a WiiU out of faith for Nintendo's willingness to bring it and those games alone made me jump for joy, justifying the purchase.  but then something happened, and they also released a bunch of other stuff, too.  Super Mario 3D World?  hells yes!  Wind Waker is my second favorite Legend of Zelda game next to Link to the Past, and both are getting attention!  X looks awesome!  I won't get to  use the Art Academy thing, and I'm not excited about Minigame compilations, but everything else shown blew me away! 

1 - Sony - Score: 9/10

You all saw this coming.  the opening of the show was light on new details and focused a bit too much on TV and online services, but once they revealed the console, it was a veritable roller coaster.  The system is small and decent looking, though nothing special, and many of the games will be multiplatform, but the PS4 has me excited.  They showed the ORder: 1866, which looks good and is done by an impressive studio.  they're shifting attention to indies and finding ways to let them self publish on Sony's plaforms (which is a HUGE win for me), the reiteration of Drive Club, Knack, Killzone, and inFamous all continue to look fun, and knowing I get Drive Club for being a PS+ member has me very happy.  Destiny looks outstanding (same as TitanFall), Assassin's Creed and Watch Dogs both had their best respective presentations at the Sony presentation, and we got official confirmation of Kingdom Hearts III and Final Fantasy vsXIII being rebranded as XV.  That's not to mention the perfect price (399 USD) and the legendary, historical dig at Microsoft's used games and DRM policies.  They did manage to sneak in that you'll have to pay for PSN+ if you want to play online, which I'm not happy with, but I can tolerate it as long as the service continues to provide stellar deals.  If it wasn't for the PSN+ trick and the slow start full of shit we already knew, this would have been a perfect or damn near perfect presentation.  I am excited to see what this next generation has in store.  

So what do you rank them? agree  or disagree? 

MS 5/10 cuz dey showd sum games, but screwd players
Nintendo 7/10 sum nice games for Wii U and 3DS(Especially SSB). All same shit mario 3D land style game, could have been better and more inovative.
Sony 8.5/10 Owsom PS4 presentation, showed sum PS3 games but forgot about Vita once again.

Well it really depends on your criteria.

I don't think anyone can really doubt that Microsoft showed off a more impressive exclusive lineup than either of the other two companies. But Sony got on stage and said "used games allowed" and got a longer cheer than any game showed off by either company.

Which was most effective? Undoubtedly Sony. But the question specifically asks which was my favourite, and that was Microsoft.

MS games games games, they promised and they delivered...then they screwed up on the price. 7/10

Nintendo I didn't see it, I was told it would start at 4 my time, I arrived at 4.15 to see it was over, still ain't seen it but with that said, it's the same old same old (games wise)...5/10 (it would be 4 if it wasn't for wii fit trainer in SSB)

Ubisoft If you want E3 surprises, these guys seem to be the place to go 8/10

EA I had no hope for EA so I was pleasantly surprised by their presentation...it didn't entirely suck. 6/10

Sony: I felt it was rather understated. I guess I'm used to them wowing me at E3s (at least the last few presentations) so this one felt a little sub par...with that said, that last 2-3 minutes was pure gold ...oh yeah, Final Fantasy 15 9/10

Full rankings, without EA since I didn't watch it:

4) Ubisoft - 2/10

Absolute catastrophe. Aisha Tyler was okay last year, but this year she was just pathetic and not at all funny. They showed garbage after garbage, and nothing new that looked remotely interesting. After the last two years' fantastic performance from them, this was extremely disappointing.

3) Nintendo - 6/10

This was a solid conference. They showed off plenty of new stuff in a fairly short space of time. But almost none of it really appealed to me personally.

2) Sony - 8/10

The price and used game announcements were bombshells and the atmosphere after them was fantastic. The few exclusives they did show look great, and the indie support is very promising. Plus, all of those multiplats (my god, there were a lot of multiplats) are running great on PS4, and they were fun to watch.

1) Microsoft - 9/10

No television, no movies, no gimmicks, no dull kinect minigame collections. Just great-looking game after great-looking game. A real pleasure to watch. But their silence on their DRM policy was deafening, and that price is pretty prohibitive. Neither of those things really affected my perception of the conference though.

UBISOFT: 7/10, I wasn't bored, The Division looked cool, the presenter spoke like she knew about games, and was pleasing to look at.

EA: --/10 Didn't care to watch. I'm sure they showed sports games.

Nintendo: --/10 Didn't watch because I really just don't care.

MS: 4/10 They showed a lot of games, but most were shooters. They tried to feed me a price and DRM like it wasn't a shit sandwich.

SONY: 9/10 They mostly knocked it out of the park. They lose a point for tryiung to slide in the fact that multiplayer is no longer free.

Sony: 8/10. A good press conference that showed some great stuff and demonstrated sony's attitude to the whole drm debacle. But lacked new exclusive titles

Ubisoft: 5/10. Showed some decent content that kept me interested but "The Division" demonstration made the conference worthwhile.

EA: 3/10. A lot of boring sports and stuff and the cooler games were only demonstrated in underwhelming short CGI trailers.

Nintendo: Didn't watch.

MS: 6/10. They brought the games and held one of the better E3 conferences. Nothing outstanding however.

EA -/10 - haven't watched it

Ubisoft 4/10 - The Division imo was graphically the best looking game I've seen at the show. Apart from that the conference wasn't all that interesting.

Nintendo 6/10 - A lot of traditional Nintendo games for next gen, which personally I never managed to get excited about, yet X, Bayonetta 2 and Zelda WW remake looked really good.

Sony 8/10 - Good games, not many new big exclusive announcements, unfortunate problems during demos and a very good price/policies that I can agree with.

Microsoft 9/10 - Games, games, games, many exclusives, high price.

Nintendo 8/10 Yay nintendo games.

Microsoft 8/10 lots of games but crap price.

Sony 9/10 Lots of games,indie games,used games,gaikai could be very cool,Good price.
They could of used a few more exclusives.

I just watched two of them.

Microsoft 8/10
Sony 9/10
