Microsoft sucked Sony sucked and im guessing Nintendo is going to blow them both out the water.

What do you mean? That was literally the end of Microsoft's press conference.

as an E3 conference it was ''ok'', sequels to their best franchises and some new stuff here and there and that's it

i can't say it was bad, but it is sad that they announced a sequel for almost every great franchise they've got, which means they are not into developing for Xbox3 anytime soon, and i think it is needed because Xbox360 is way too old now, at least an announcement : (

Just finally got around to watching the show last night. I can easily say Halo 4 saved the E3 from being pretty meh.

It started off so very awesome with Halo 4 and just went downhill after that. Xbox Smart Glass is very awesome IMO. And more apps makes me happy (especially NFL games in ESPN finally). I didn't like how they only did very short trailers for most every game I had an interest in and the 3 new exclusives they showed either looked horrible or has such short trailers that you had no idea what the game was about other then what it's name is.

So all in all, an awesome start and a few cool things but everything else was pretty mehish.

7/10

From a pure gaming perspective Sony obviously beat MS no question. But neither were anywhere near even being average. Both awful just MS slightly more awful and the actual presentation wasn't as gamer centric in it's style. Even if Microsoft announced exactly the same content as Sony, it's actual show wouldn't have been as good because Microsoft present like some kind of boring seminar.

That still doesn't make Sony's conference "above average". Saying as such would be like reviewers giving mediocre games 7.5s instead of 5s.

If the E3 press conferences were reviewed likes games should be, then Sony scored a 4.5 and Microsoft scored a 4 (out of 10).

From a media entertainment perspective Microsoft's show could be seen as average, but nobody nor myself is really interested in that exceot the type of people who wouldn't even be watching the E3 show to begin with.

Microsoft have screwed gaming unfortunately and are taking things to a bland place, sad times.

I find it hard to be impressed with Halo 4, the graphics were exactly the same as Reach and the engine looked like exactly the same one with a few upgrades, so basically it's still using 10 year old tech as it's foundation.

It's so dissapointing to keep being fed the same crappy graphics. It's just a high res Halo 1 with improved textures on assets and character models, geometry is downright awful - as per usual for Halo.

Really not acceptable.

Numerically, it would be around a 4/10 and a 6.5/10

So you didn't watch the Halo 4 demo...

He watched the Halo CE trailer

That's what I kind of figured.
