| --OkeyDokey-- said: I can see Sony or Nintendo "winning". I don't expect Sony to surprise us, but they can still have a great show. Nintendo has so many big franchises that it's always possible for them to steal the spotlight. Microsoft... I can't really think of anything. A new Rare game and Forza 3/Gears 3 aren't very exciting. A new IP from Bungie would be huge, I guess. |
You don't need a game to win Okey.
Last year, MS won E3 by descimating Sony with a huge announcment. It wasn't a new game, it was a simple business move, that MS pulled out of its ass, which totally owned everything else, and ruled over the whole show.
MS doesn't NEED Halo 4 to win. They don't need any game. They just need 1 megaton. If MGS5 was 360 exclusive, for instance, MS would win E3, I don't care if Nintendo showed 4 new console Zelda games for release before Christmas. The internet would MELTDOWN with the utter demise of many a fanboy, and that my friend, is what "winning" E3 is all about. It's not about showing old games. It's not about gaming. It is about ownage, and that "oh snap!" excitement moment that keeps us caring about the damn even.
Remember when Twilight Princess was unveiled? Remember when FFXIII was revealed to be coming to the 360? Those were ultimate, history making moments in gaming. As we twitter away all the years following this industry, those single few seconds of those trailers will be looked back upon as the best moments. A top 10 list moment. All the dull grey months washed away in an instant of passion. You can't win E3 with freakin' ordinary games. That's a joke. You win it...sir...with MEGATONS.
I don't need your console war.
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor.
You're power hungry, spinnin' stories, and bein' graphics whores.
I don't need your console war.
NO NO, NO NO NO.
