The following complaints are all just from my own personal taste, and I'm not trying to reflect anyone else's decision on how E3 was. I simply hated almost everything so I'm just here to rant.
1. Vita is going to lose. Tablets can do more things and the vast majority of portable gamers of today are more interested in simple games (i.e., angry birds, plants vs. zombies) that don't need that much power. Sure, hardcore gamers are still going to pick that up, but are there so many of them left nowadays on the handheld front? It'll fail to meet expectations. Last generation proved this. PSP lost to the DS by a huge margin and it didn't do it through power. Yeah, you can play God of War on PSP, all 1 million of you, but over 100 million people play Angry Birds. Sony should've scaled back the power and focused on innovation. The market isn't what it used to be.
2. Wii U will probably dominate the market. It's new, fresh, and marketable. They didn't overdo the graphics (seems almost the same as PS360, if not a tad higher) which means the console will probably have a competitive $299 or at most $349 price tag (maybe minus controllers, who knows). Unfortunately, I'm a traditional core gamer and I'm not interested in having an overly large DS in my hand. Sure they can put all the core games they want on it, but the controller is far too large and I don't give a damn about touch screens. I'm also not interested in motion gaming at all, which is stil what's going to happen with the Wiimotes being backwards compatible. This is another social gaming experiment that will probably win over the market but it will never win me over.
3. Nothing on The Last Guardian. This sucks the most.
4. Metal Gear Solid 5 and Grand Theft Auto 5 are missing in action. This was the high time for their reveal. These two games could've saved the show for me.
5. Kinect still looks as ridiculous as it started, and now it's even worse. Aside from looking stupid waving around in free space, the games looked like crap, aside from the Sesame Street thing, which was fitting for the thing since it's a kids game. Worst of all, they're going to put the bloody thing in places where it doesn't belong. In a shooter? In an action game? Thankfully it isn't too widespread. Get it devs, KINECT IS FOR KIDS, not for guys who want to shoot people! I'll never be caught dead pretending I have a gun in my hand. KB is still right. What is this, third grade? Pew Pew Pew.
6. Uncharted 3 looks underwhelming. I don't know what gives, but it looks... worse than Uncharted 2. And it seems like exactly the same game. Resistance 3 looks good, but these two games aren't going to carry Sony over the holiday. They didn't have anything special for the PS3.
7. Nothing or very little on Final Fantasy Versus 13, Agent, Final Fantasy 13-2 and Twisted Metal. It's like they ignored all those blockbusters.
8. Sequels, sequels, sequels. While I'm a fan of many of them, can't we get more new IPs please? Almost everything shown is a sequel, and they all play the same way that their predecessors do. Infamous 2, Gears of War 3, Halo 4, Forza 4, Modern Warfare 3, Resistance 3 (which looks better than the rest at least), Uncharted 3, Bioshock Infinite, Assassin's Creed Revelations, etc etc... Come on! Can't you guys think of more things? At least name the bloody things differently!
That's just my two cents. Sorry. I hated E3 this year.
