If there's anyone sounding like a fanboy here it's you

Reads DKII post.... reads the signatures of the people posting in here... comes to a pretty good conclusion

i think media likes Call of Duty sooooooooooooooo much...

I had already seen Assasin's Creed 2 on the Microsoft conference, and they actually played it there, so I just find it strange that they didn't do it on their own conference. Splinter Cell was awesome, but again, they already showed it at MS conference. Rabbids was annoying and amusing at the same time :P

Now, Red Steel 2 really caught me off guard. I was expecting some mediocre crap, but that game looks like a winner!

Hmmm...suddently I'm not so sure I saw it at the Microsoft conference... When I think about it, the guy at the Ubisoft conference (one of the french dudes) said they were gonna show us gameplay from Assassin's Creed 2, maybe that's what pissed me off... You know, because they didn't. They only showed the opening movie or whatever. I'm not sure...

Yeah, he stood there talking in front of a title screen. Why didn't they just show video from the game while he was talking? That segment was so fucking weak. It's due out in December (I think), so they should have lots of footage. And I agree with you on Assassin's Creed 2's setting. I was in Venice last summer, amazing place.

I see it very differently.

Microsoft was very much "In your face mister short attention span person" Like it was clearly made in a proffessional manner and pretty detached from the audience itself. Very much "hey look at us, over here, hey wuh i'm jumping" Like a kid wanting to get your attention and don't know how to get it :p

Nintendos was very PR related. Pretty much the whole thing we PRPPRPRPPRPRPR supermario PRPRPPRPRPRPR again very detached from the audience.

Sonys conference however, was more homey and relaxed. Yea tretton was nervous. Ofcourse he was. He even said that he was (which btw is a great mean to help yourself calm down when you are nervous.)

And sony just took it nice and easy. The whole crowd got sucked up in the conference and it wasn't all about trying to pass off some shit that isn't real (coincidentially) but very much about just being down to earth, showing some cool stuff to some people.

I also really gotta give them props for bringing actual engineers of the motion controller onto the stage instead of some pr person whos been vaguely brief'd on how the damned thing works. .. And so many other live demos :p i really found that awesome

And again ofcourse the engineer was nervous man. Hes not used to being on a stage.

Overall I liked sonys conference a whole lot more.. but it just goes to show that people has different tastes in what makes a good e3 presentation.

In all seriousness, I do not think it is bias.

Game site readers and Game Journalism love new stuff and hype.

When the motion controller was announced, there was plenty of hype surrounding Red Steel and a possible Star Wars game (and much more).

Game site readers and GJ love think about potential and possibilities.

On a side note: The last dozen or so reviews I read, I felt like the reviewer barely played the game. These were games on all different consoles.

Gamers like to play games.

You're joking right? Prime 3 was released in 07 and Other M will come in 2010 at the earliest. In that same gap of time Halo 3, Halo Wars, Halo 3 ODST, and Halo Reach will all happen. I don't think anyoen can pretend to be exasperated with a series that went on an 8 year haitus versus one that has only been ramping up its entries by an alarming amount.

the media has spolken. microsoft won e3.
