| kain_kusanagi said: I give Sony a 7/10 which is what I gave MS this year too. The two press conferences where basically he same. The only difference was games. So fans of Sony will say it was better and fans of Xbox will say it was better because each side they got the games they wanted. But each spent more time pitching other markets than the most hardcore games. Smart for business, but not for hardcore gamers who just want 2 hours of kick ass trailers. Personally I'm more excited for Halo 4 than anything, but as press shows go they were both 7/10. |
I'm a fan of the 360, but I gave them both the same grade (6). I think both of them will have plenty of great games to play on their respective consoles for the next 12 months, but these press conferences were not great representations of that. But I called it beforehand, as we are too late in this gen for either of these companies to wow us and the format just doesn't show games very well. The later Stage Demos are always more satisfying to me as a gamer.
But for all of those trying to say this was way better than Microsoft's or MS had less exclusives or MS only showed shooter after shooter ........ all you do is prove that E3 brings out the fanboys in force. GotC (Game of the Conferences) right now is Watch Dogs from Ubisoft. Thank God for 3rd parties!
PS - The Last of Us showed NOTHING that hasn't been done just as good or better else in it's gameplay, but the environments and graphics were impressive. I'm confident it will turn out to be a compelling experience, but this first gameplay footage was no less impressive than Splinter Cell Blacklist and no less innovative than I Am Alive. I expected better ...
