Forums - Gaming - Well This e3 was predictably a huge letdown.

Relias on 15 July 2008

E3 was a huge let down.



Boycotting the following:

1. Yoshi: He ate my car and spit out a toaster.

2. Igglybuff: Totally false advertisement. You can have as many as you like they don't buff nothing.

3. the Terms Hardcore/Softcore... We're talking Video Games. Not Porn.

4. The term Casual as relates to Gamers: We make them sound like outsider's that happen to play games.  If that were the case they'd own a PS3.

5. Donuts.... Beacause I drink Beer...... and the biggest fan of Donuts hates Beer.

6. Boycotts: Their so lame.

I don't think these companies want to be forced to make all their big announcements competing against every other company all at the same time.

Probably true, which is why E3 needs to die. Nobody wants to be there, not the third parties, not the game journalists, nobody.

Agreed. This is the worst E3 I can remember. I mean, of the 4 conferences I have watched so far I found the EA one to be the most enjoyable!

People need to remember that E3 is now one, of many shows shown around the year - its no longer the "one big show". Companies are too afraid of being trumped by other companies, and having big announcements stomped all over.

Ninty may yet pull their trick from 2(?) years ago.. where they call a "mini" conference at the end of the show, to announce a new game or two. Or it may come later at an event of their choosing. With their new strategy, its still too long until the end of the year to announce "hardcore" titles - maybe around Sept.

Overall, the big announcements for me were:

 - new Wii hardware (mic & Motion+)

 - 360 casualisation, new dashboard (curious to know what hardcore 360 fans think of it)

 - no new PS3 or 360 controllers

 - FFXIII on 360

 - GTA on DS

 - WiiSports II coming

The Sony conference is the one I was most disappointed in - nothing significant IMO (games we knew were coming anyway, and some PS3 to PSP titles).

The franchise is, not the PC game.
