If you ask me no one really had a great conference. They were all kind of off. I think it may be the new format.

Didn't Konami's President say something about not thinking the PS3 will move enough copies of MGS4 in an interview somewhere, like on one of those video game shows?

Let's not get quite so far ahead of ourselves here. Pre-alpha build? Uh, no. They were showing gameplay and good-looking gameplay at that. Pre-alpha means absolutely nothing is finalized and they're still working on the engine, physics, etc.

That's obviously not the case with this game.

It did look mighty fine, though.

1.Sony
2.Nintendo
3.Microsoft

I don't get you guys talking about Nintendo wins the press confrence if you are a casual gamer? 1st of all most "casual gamers" do not give a shit about E3 . Obviously if you are a Nintendo fan Nintendo's releases are what you are looking for. I was hoping for more mature themed games not all about the same ol same ol . Wii fit looked intresting.

Looking at an objective view Sony nailed it mostly the Price and lack of games were issues and those issues were addressed with Vigor. Added to the fact they showcased Home looks like Live will have a Rival. Also was impressed with NCsoft deal (Played City of Heroes Lineage and Guild Wars liked them all)

As for Microsoft if you bought a 360 for Halo you made a Great choice but for the time after that Microsoft doesnt look like they have much of a plan.

 Im sure ill get called gullible, but ill take it straight from the Dev's mouth over messageboard folk, thanks. And they can show playable parts of games in pre alpha, it just means the entire game isnt yet ready or ready to be tested throughly from start to finish, i believe...they have already said 1/2 of the animations arent final and the physics arent done either as far as animations and textures go too....

Never have i heard pre alpha games are (unplayable) it is just a term used for progress of a title so it entirely possible for what we saw to be pre alpha, imo. 

Sony, Nintendo and Microsoft, in that order. But whatever, they were all pretty much boring.

Sony was probably the only one who took the event seriously

 They did say it was pre-alpha. We saw a tiny level too.

 Yeah they're doing worse and worse... I think it's over for Sony, time to get out of the video game business.

Game is obviously somewhere between alpha & beta.

Alpha is simply "engine" and "proof of concept". Its playable, that is always a sign that alpha is reached.

Also - how long have they been working on this baby? 3 years? If it is truly still pre-alpha, then the game won't be released until 2010.
