It is no contest.  Anyone who puts a press conference on that causes a bunch of people obsessed with videogames to lose their temper that a press conference failed to entertain them, is a winner in my book.  It is so full of win, I can't count the ways it is.  I don't even want to think about the ways it is either, because it is so full of it, that the win is blinding!

Anyhow, Ubisoft has a real good and diverse lineup, that is set to probably put them near the top in sales this holiday season, and the bling is the thing, not press conference entertainment value.

It was amazing, it felt as if someone was peeling off my fingernails as each minute passed by, it was epic with a capital C.

I don't know any other press conference that ever cause individuals to do self-torture.  That is full of win for me!  Falling asleep is one thing, self-torture is another.

Yes, that feeling you had happening was either you doing it, or maybe Rabbids.  Not sure, because the Rabbids seemed set to rip off Katamari, and your nails would be a possible target for them.  So yes, the press conference did mangle your nails.

I'd say we should use it to interrogate suspected terrorists, but i'm against torture

Haha, I haven't seen it, glad I didn't watch it now... Surely it couldn't have been THAT bad? Assassins Creed 2 and Splinter Cell Conviction both look amazing!?

Ubiosoft bored me to tears. That french guy tried, but his english was extremely annoying.

here it is, trust me by about the 20 minute mark you'll be ready to shoot yourself

edit  sorry that was the 2008 video, let me find the 2009 one

My original post was to make fun of the whining that it was the "worst press conference ever!", and people yammering how so and so won E3.  Press conferences are usually as dull as dirt, and cater to business types, particularly at a trade show like E3.  It did have some dull moments, particularly with the French guys with their OUTRAGEOUS French accents (tip of the hat to Holy Grail there with that reference). 

Expect to get LOTS of sales numbers, information on why teen and fitness programs matter, and a mix of demos of their games.  Also expect multiple BAD jokes by the host of the program.  In other words, your usual business meeting.

You have videogame fan sites milking the press conferences, not designed for videogame fans, by showing them and getting traffic.  These press conferences often announces games that are over a year away.  I would expect, for example, that the spy game Rockstar is working on, won't be ready before 2011 or 2012.
