Almost no one clapped on time... ever. The "presenter" did a worse job holding interest than even Jack Trenton (who doesn't like public speaking) I "LOL'd" when they introduced the new face of Xbox 360! The audience was dead silent... They played that stupid song like 8 @#$%$# times to introduce some new MS spokesperson. They told the most jokes... and received the least amount of laughter... All of they're casual titles received a huge wtf moment of silence. I wasn't sure whether or not to laugh... or cry... when I saw they're "At the movies presentation" They're opening ceremony showed off Fable, Gears of War 2, and two multi-plats... They directly used another companies name to present they're data... bad form. They're performing star was unexpected and terribly placed in that presentation. And was getting "ok's" type scoring for a song she performed :P It was overall just a sloppy, un-organized, waste of time and I had a ton of those moments where in the movies you want to look away because your embarrassed for the main character's. I mean honestly, if this is reason Microsoft's press conference was tit's and then some... shit... you might want to go to a doctor to check that out xD Without that FFXIII announcement, the 360 would have been a literal laughing stock of E3 with probably the worst conference seen in years :P (To be fair, I haven't seen the Nintendo speech). Microsoft's E3 am fail. Sony's presentation was at least clean and organized, showing off more titles around the platforms than any of the competitors. My scores. Sony 7 or 8 /10. overall good presentation, they didn't show off games that I know they have in the works! But they showed a good mix of current stuff, future stuff, and they showed big advancements in they're network community and what not. Microsoft. Ew... 5/10 <- FFXIII helped save this score. Let's just say, I watched it AGAIN with a roomate for entertainment value. We got some great laughs in :) It really was THAT bad. Nintendo... N/A... Haven't seen, not sure if I will :x |
Exactly!
Their conference was so boring. The crowd didn't even clap or laugh. But during the Sony conference, they clapped after every montage and showcase, and laughed at Jack Tretton's jokes.
I was like Chrono, I cringed much more during Microsoft's press conference than Sony's press conference. I cringed the most during Nintendo's though. That lady sucked.
I don't understand how you can win a press conference by showing off two multi-platform games, and a bunch of casual games, and a new dashboard, with no kind of applause or anything.
