I must admit that the Sony fan in me is trying to shove his fingers in his ears and go "Lalalalalalala" very loudly, but this was a very good conference. It reminds me of the Nintendo one from a few years back.
Would have been excellent had they addressed the DRM issues and the controversy surrounding some of the machine's features, but it was more than decent.
There are a few stand outs, of course, like Ryse, the coveted Killer Instinct, Titanfall and Project Spark. These have the making of greatness about them and I really hope they all come out smelling rosy.
So yeah, a very good opening for E3 and a strong showing for Microsoft. There's great stuff coming up and I really hope Sony can match this.
I'm also skeptical of the Insomniac games, after what happened with Fuse. It was the same sort of presentation at the last E3 for Overstrike and look where that ended up. Those guys are a bit schizo when it comes to quality and they seem to sway too much. I really hope they drive home this one, maybe it'll be the Overstrike we all actually wanted to play.
Kudos Microsoft. Great kick off for the new console wars. Let it pour.
