I think even after all the confirmations that it wouldn't happen, people wanted to see new hardware, which is why so many people said they "hated it"

I didn't hate it, it was just mediocre. Kind of the norm for MS conferences lately though...

never expected the conference to be other then the usual, halo, cod and tomb raider were expected(as tomb raider got showed last year) didnt expect the forza title, gears was leaked but if it wasnt i would have been surprised even though they didnt show much, splinter cell was a good edition as well as re6, and then their were the meh downloadble games and dance central. 

 

i was shocked that they didnt show new hardware, but considering they didnt their e3 presentation wasnt that bad as you cant expect a lot from ms these days considering their marketing strategies. 

exactly my thought..... you rarely see ms talking about stuff more than 12 months out..... 90% of what we saw will be avaible before the hollyday season.... yeha it's great to talk about stuff coming in 2014 2015 like other do... but honnestly who gives a shit.... i don't care about kilzone 5 coming on ps20 at e3 2012....

it's good for the hype machine not helping build a solid mktg base or sales projection.... if anything it's like playing texas holdem with your game open for everyone to see.... yeah it is 100X better for us gamer ti watch.... doesn't make your press cinf better or more efficient orofessionaly on the long run.... at least every year they have NEW stuff coming out right away that we didn't hear much.... not reheated shit we've been waiting for for ages.....

i gave the press conf a 7/10 btw.... but more trailers wouldn't have change my vote.... more numbers on the market trends.... more forecast on windows integration crossplatform stuff yeah... an alan wake 2 demo if it's schedule for later than nov 2013 is to me completely out of place in a pre e3 2012 conf... even if i would have loved to see it....

P.S. spacing ?? :) enditall727
