Forums - Microsoft - Explain to me how PS3 and Wii had better E3 than 360

If you are excited for kinect games then sure. Otherwise, i dont think so.



Nintendo had the best presentation imho
Sony had the second best.

Gamewise I have to agree Microsoft has a stronger lineup, though It's a bit too Kinect focused.



It's just that simple.

Are you guys even that excited about Halo 4 after the disappointment that was Halo Reach?

To me, Halo has some of its luster in the FPS market. It used to be the undisputed champion, but CoD has taken Halo off its perch. A lot of other games are trying to outgun Halo such as Killzone, Crysis, and Battlefield. I think that Bungie's new project may also pull some of the focus from the new Halo games. Respawn studios also has a big FPS project in the pipeline. M$ is trying to make Halo an annual installment just like CoD.

Gears 3 was much more exciting to me than Halo 4. But I think Sony counters Gears 3 with Uncharted 3. Forza 4 should be great, but it is not a game that wins someone E3.

I think Sony beat M$ because they showed they are continuing to evolve new IPs and they are much more extensive in their 1st party game development. The Kinect exclusives were just a joke.



 

Most anticipated games of 2011:

Uncharted 3,Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword, Rocksmith

Modern Warfare 3, Super Mario 3D

 

Microsoft might have 4 AAA games but it's the same 4 franchises they have been relying on for exclusives the whole gen....

Forza, Gears, Halo and Fable...( and every E3 when they announce a new AAA exclusive it's one of those 4...)
They used to have Mass Effect too but now it's multiplat.
It might be nice if they actually came up with new stuff...

The Sony stuff isn't new IP either but at least they are juggling a lot more franchises ( and Twisted Metal and Sly Cooper are having their first iteration this gen...).



PS3-Xbox360 gap : 1.5 millions and going up in PS3 favor !

PS3-Wii gap : 20 millions and going down !

100% True, but it's not like Sony doesn't do this either. Sony laregly focus's on 7 brands - GT, Uncharted, Resistance, Killzone, LBP, God of War and InFamous. Almost every E3 Sony focus's on these brands, and both for MS and Sony their are exceptions. Still 7 to 4, MS really needed to hold onto Mass Effect as exclusive.

Nintendo too is part of this. Zelda, Mario, Pokemon, Metroid, Mario Kart/Spinoff, and Smash Bros. They just have a lot more spin off brands like Luigi's Mansion 2, and they have a lot of smaller IP's like Pikmin and Kid Icarus.

Halo Reach was no disappointment. And, by that logic, no one should be excited for PSV after the disappointment PSP was.

 

Anyway, i agree with the OP. Xbox 360 had the best games of the 3.

Why was Halo: Reach a dissapointment? It's my most played game of 2011 so far. Great campaign, better then Halo 3, great online multiplayer, and an addictive Firefight mode. I love it.

As big as many of those games you mentioned, the quality just isn't the same as Halo. Killzone is freaken amazing, but you can't even continue a co-op campaign in single player, and many of the multiplayer maps lack balance. Crysis 2 is also fun as hell, but again the multiplayer isn't as filled with people, and doesn't have as much to keep you comming back. It's too easy to camp kill in that game, especially with stealth. You also don't have as in depth of an experience/rewards system as Halo: reach in any of those games, and I think this is why Halo/CoD are so addictive.

Battlefield is fun online, I hope the third one sells a lot better, as the campaign doesn't look as corny anymore.

The problem with Halo is, they make these half ass Halo titles. ODST was pretty bad outside of the campaign, and even then it felt insignificant and unfinished. Halo Wars is a different genre which is fine, but the Halo brand name would be worth more if it wasn't for ODST ruining the reputation of this consistantly 9 Plus/10 franchise.

Man I found that sesame street/disney presentation the biggest bore of my life, as if someone who has interest in those games is likely to watch E3, catering to the wrong audience MS here, should have showed it on Oprah instead.
