Sony had the best show but why is everyone suddenly doom-and-gloom on MS?
They still have several shows to attend this year (X07, PAX, TGS) and their game lineup for the rest of the year is brilliant. It's not surprising that they talked about those games and are saving the details for Halo Wars, Alan Wake, etc. for a later show. There is still plenty of time for MS to start rolling out announcements for 2008. People aren't going to start buying PS3s tomorrow because Killzone 2 looked good, even though the game won't launch until after the holidays.
And are you guys really basing your opinions of H3 on a YouTube-sized screen or an SDTV brodcast clip from G4TV? All you have to do is look at the screenie Bungie released to realize that those clips aren't doing the textures and lighting of H3 one bit of justice. When MS gets around to releasing a HD trailer, I'll be ready to decide how the game looks. Besides, that trailer was really jumpy. It didn't let you focus in on a scene for more than a few seconds. Not much to judge based on that.
Anyway, I think it went:
Sony>>Nintendo>>Microsoft. None of the shows were outstanding but Sony's had me interested the most (despite how badly I want to punch Jack Tretton in the face whenever he speaks). Nintendo had Mario Kart (very cool) and MS had CoD4 demo and footage (also cool).
