I can't believe some of you call that conference underwhelming. It's not that it was underwhelming at all (in my view), it's that some of you expect too much [or give too much credibility to any and every rumor].

New Handheld (with a good showing of titles and competitive price announcement)
Uncharted 3 game play
Resistance 3 game play
inFAMOUS 2 showing
Exclusive content from some fairly large multiplatform titles
New IP DUST 514
$499 3D TV bundle
Great Bioshock Infinite showing
New Sly announcement
New Move title (although this one is admittedly "meh" on my radar)
Starhawk re-cap
Instant apology for PSN outage


Again, I think some of you expect too much, although I too expect Nintendo to take home the best show. Hardly because Sony's was "underwhelming" though.

That said, I have inFAMOUS 2 (Hero Edition) in my posession now. We'll chat another time.


Well,in my personal opinion the conference was underwhelming because most of that stuff was expected. The only thing that wowed me was the $499 3D TV bundle,that was a great and smart move bye sony. I personally expect that bundle to sell like gangbusters. I personally did'nt think it was a bad conference,but I was'nt OMG wowed bye the conference.

That compliments what I said; the conference wasn't underwhelming, you just expected too much (or expected more than it could provide to you]. That doesn't make the presentation underwhelming, because it's not like there were any promises made to you prior to the show. Now don't get me wrong, part of me is understanding about it [gaming news usually over hypes rumors and speculation prior to E3 shows]. The other part of me, however, says maybe people should go into these shows with lower expectations. Trust me, you'll be much less disappointed in the end.

Stop the damage control man. Sony had nothing. At least MS got two Halo games announced. PS3 got nothing new!!

If this was the MS conference you would have called it underwhelming.

Sly 4 and Dust. While Halo remake was expected and Halo IV was rumored. To sum it up:

  • we knew that Sony had a lot of stuff to show and Sony showed a lot of stuff and a few more
  • we knew that MS had few stuff to show and MS showed few stuff and a few more

 



Decent conference, a bit dull, but some good content on show for Vita. And I'm very proud of Sony, they finally learned that no one gives a crap about a conference that is filled with montages.



I almost fell asleep, then they talked about their full-screen split-screen thing which woke me up for a little while. But when I noticed I had been asleep for a while again and I just went to bed.

Of course that wouldn't happen if the conference wasn't in the middle of the night over here.

They still had a good few, but they didn't drag on as long as past shows. I agree with that sentiment too, during montages, the bathroom becomes quite the hang out zone. :P

All-in-all, this wasn't their best E3 (to me), but it had a good blend of old, new, and expected. The Vita is getting a nice amount of buzz right now, which is a great way to get the ball rolling for a new platform.

I was really worried when they started out with the first montage. Like "Oh shit, this is going to be so boring!". Not that it turned out to be all that exciting, but at least they didn't show as many montages.



I don't have a problem with what they had, I have a problem with what they didn't have.

The stuff they showed was great, almost perfection, it pleased all crowds. While the conference could have been broken up better into clear sections and Move could have had more games announced for it, what was announced was great.

My problem is that there wasn't enough surprises, no real shockers or brilliant reveals. The presentation wasn't the best of the best either, I wish the presentation was like Microsoft's, as bad as their conference was, the presentation with live demo's and trailers was excellent, the pacing was perfect.

One thing that hurt the conference most though was that it was too short and too rushed, they had so many games to showcase and announce, both multiplatform and exclusive, we know they have them, but they didn't show them :/

I was eagerly awaiting a new shocking game like GTA5 or Agent, but nothing. I wanted to see some Final Fantasy XIII - 2 and Last Guardian gameplay too, but nothing.

I will fully review all the E3's soon, maybe we should start a thread to round up E3 perhaps?



I liked it. The TV got my attention, I might have to grab that someday. Dust 514 really caught my eye too. My buddies all like the idea of it as well. And the Vita? Well lets just say its a day 1 purchase. Plus LittleBigPlanet and ModNation Racers on it? Woot! And Golden Abyss looks just amazing. Now I eagerly await launch dates for the system.

 

Edit: Dang how could I forget Sly? I'm so glad Sony decided to bring it back. And I think its cool how Sucker Punch was kinda advertising it a bit even though they aren't making it (Infamous backpack anyone?)



A little curious as to when, if ever they will announce ps2 classics for PSN.

It was a good conference in my opinion, but I wish it was 30 minutes longer, so they can fit more gameplay from 3rd parties.



by far sony E3 was best!
