| nordlead said: The disrespect for Nintendo is strong. Nintendo shows off Wii Remote - C Nintendo shows off Wii Balance Board - C Nintendo shows off WM+ with possibly best games announcement in a long time - C Microsoft shows their motion control Natal - A+++++++++++ Sony shows off their motion control with wand thingy - A+++++++++++ That is just crap and their scores are crap. At least try to be fair. Nintendo shows motion controls and everyone laughs and says it is stupid, but then turn around and praise the ground the competitors walk on even though they are late to the game. Even if you want to argue that there aren't many games for the balance board, we have the same exact argument for Microsoft and Sony. In my mind E3 went like this MS=Nintendo>Sony. Mostly for the following reasons. You can take your pick on who "won" but Ninty and MS both offered a lot of new stuff for gamers. Personally I choose Ninty since I own the console  Microsoft shows off some stuff we didn't know about + new hardware that has lots of vision even if I thought it was too early to show off (lack of gamers games to show the public). Nintendo demoed their WM+ which is coming out now, plus they announced 2 Wii Marios at the same time. People have been asking for a 2D console mario since Mario 64 came out and they finally delivered. Very solid showing overall with new software. The vitality sensor was weird, but in no way destroys the show. Sony had only FFIV to announce and that is an MMO which generally is not liked by the FF crowd. Their motion control is also in a hugely primitive state and also has no gamers games to show off to the public. So much stuff was leaked that most of their show was a repeat of things we had already heard. Had they not leaked everything I would probably rank them a lot higher. |
You can't keep counting nintendo's previous announcements for this years E3. First of using your argument agains sony about leaking info. Who didn't know about wii motion plus? balance board? wii remote? Nintendo should've written up a program card listing all the announcements. All the hardware stuff from nintendo were just upgrades, not even astonishing upgrades just....an upgrade.
The HD consoles announcing motion controls is very big because it evens the playing field, wii is no longer so unique. You can even argue it dislevels the playing field even further. Just as important is the fact that the HD motion technologies are better. Don't use the games argument. Clearly the HD's are serious about this. 1000's of developers have the dev kits and MS especially is pulling all the stops, employing all the doctors and enginners and buying all competing companies and unifying them for this technology. Do you really think this new technology isn't going to be supported?
When a company has time to put in a vitality sensor announcement and talk sales and company philosophy, basically pitching itself........you can be confindent nothing out of this world is gonna be announced.
To say that all ps3 had was FF14 is absurd. I know you used your leaked info to justify only mentioning this one game, but there were other games that weren't leaked. Last Guardian and Agent. Whatever the case, it doesn't matter that info was leaked. Alot of times these are just rumors, and when they aren't rumors, finally seeing playable demos that are as good or better than all the cgi trailers we were fed is very exciting.
I won't even go into 360. MS literally covered all areas. As it stands, the 360 and ps3 each have more exclusive core titles coming than the wii. In addition, they have more core titles period as all those multiplats although not exclusive among the hd consoles; they are exclusive TO the hd consoles.
