Forums - Gaming - Best E3 conference and why?

After finally watching all 3 I woul dhave to say Sony for me did the best.  Although I did breeze through the 1st hour of the show because of crap I didnt care about like the PS Move or the 3D stuff.  The games they showed were what was important for me, even a couple titles on the PSP. 

Plus getting Gabe Newell to show up on stage was quite impressive, him even making a joke about it. 

I was also impressed to see the amount of exclusive DLC Sony paid for.

"In video game terms, RPGs are games that involve a form of separate battles taking place with a specialized battle system and the use of a system that increases your power through a form of points.

Sure, what you say is the definition, but the connotation of RPGs is what they are in video games." - dtewi

I really fail to see how anyone can say anything but Ninty. MS.....well theres nothing needed to say about that.......but PS mostly showed known games.I will admit Valve support was a big suprise. Ninty shotgunned the 3ds thing giving up a lot of upcoming titles(which some should have wowed most of us.....I never expected so many "Hardcore" franchises to be announced) in addition to Kirby and DK.



Getting an XBOX One for me is like being in a bad relationship but staying together because we have kids. XBone we have 20000+ achievement points, 2+ years of XBL Gold and 20000+ MS points. I think its best we stay together if only for the MS points.

Nintendo Treehouse is what happens when a publisher is confident and proud of its games and doesn't need to show CGI lies for five minutes.

Nintendo would have blown me away with a 3DS with 2 analog sticks.


People that play FPS/TPS are the ones that complain about lack of dual analogs. I dont know if you've played Metroid Prime Hunters but it controls great just using the pen. I cant really thing of any good reason for DA's other than FPS/TPS games but as I said the pen IMO is a better way to control(musch as I feel the Wiimote/Move are better).

I think Nintendo won, but mostly only because Sony leaked all the games they were going to show and we also knew about most of them in any case.

Nintendo had a lot of surprises, similarly to Sony, we all knew they were in development, and a bunch were leaked, but I think nintendo just delivered more core franchises than sony did...somehow. After writing that, I'm still not sure who won.. I knew about these Nintendo games for a week or more. hmmm.

I still say nintendo won, then...if not but for the 3ds.



I think it says a lot when i know for a fact myself and others who dont own a nintendo console or handheld and pretty much view this gen of nintendo so far as a joke are completely blown away by their conference.

Sony faithful voting for nintendo. I think Sony had a very good if not great showing but the fact nintendo brought something special and my god, the software, seriously, ill accept someone saying sony, i can see that, but Nintendo really took such an important step here.

Also, of note, its soooooo important Sony is tieing itself to 3d right now. The fact Nintendo is leading the way with the 3ds if Sony can get a foothold in the living room with Nintendo behind 3d it will make it more accessible and accepted in videogames. I understand one is glasses one has  abuy in, but had nintendo not endorsed 3d in general as th emarket leader it owuld have been more difficult for sony.

IF, and a big IF here, 3ds takes off and 3d in living rooms becomes somewhat acceptable Sony and Nintendo just took a huge leap forward via their pressers.

Microsoft, time will tell but as a gamer its very sad and scary that it was so bad i feel as though the move will not only cancel out Kinect but outperform it in function via press and users. Sony doesnt need Move the way MSFT needs Kinect, the upcoming holiday, i dont feel im exaggerating, could really break MSFT.



Nintendo conference was the best until...

Sony conference show Portal 2 from Valve (the biggest surprise until now) and the beat-up old ice cream truck with a flaming clown head roll out onto the stage.

After this... Sony up in my concept.

Result: TIE (Nintendo and Sony won E3)
