| thx1139 said: I am talking about everything that went on at E3 not just the press conferences. OK so I was on vacation last week and only paid partial attention to E3. I have watched the MS E3 presentation and seen many of the other 360 announcements made by MS and others post the presentation. If it wasnt shown, but we know its coming I will not mention it. I wont mention multiplatform (I dont mean what may show up on PC) even if they have console specific features. For 360 I see the following showcased titles (all week) Gears 3 - September 2011 Many new XBLA titles. So I contrast that with the stuff I heard about for PS3 and Wii. Wii
So what did I miss? |
No one gave any megaton. Microsoft didn't, Sony didn't and neither did Nintendo. Sony didn't even show half of their exclusives between this year and next year, but their selections showed new hardware and more support for the core (who are probably the only ones watching E3). Microsoft had far too much Kinect and that damaged them. The core didn't seem too happy in response to that. It was a toss up between Nintendo and Sony even though Nintendo was a little too later trying to acquire the care of the core with a console that cannot set itself apart from its hd competitors. It's a little too late. Nintendo cannot take them from the 360 or PS3. PS3 in my eyes won because they remained the most consistant and they still have the most variety in games. Halo is getting old, plain and simple. I felt nothing for it the way I felt for Halo Reach or 3's announcements. Reach took long enough to come out. Looks like Microsoft is planning to give Halo the COD development treatment, because all they seem to know how to market are shooters. Microsoft's biggest exclusive (in my eyes) the Witcher 2 wasn't even announced on the show. Instead, people had to come across it. Microsoft came off looking extremely weak on the core front, but extremely strong on the casual front.
