Just got back. Pretty awesome for my first conference. And yeah, that woman laughing during Beyond was great. That being said, it's still the most exciting thing to come out of the conference for me.
lol.
well, unlike most fanboys grading their conferences higher then the other. i'm going to post my thoughts on the pressers. I own neither console by the way.
anyway.
EA - D- Really sucked hard, apart from simcity they had nothing of note.
Ubisoft- A- Games this year looks amazing across all platforms.... AC3, splinter cell blacklist, and watchdogs looks amazing.
Microsoft B- really fortified their position in the living room. Announcements of live channel espns, announcements of NBA, NHL, and MLB content. More digital content and movie partnerships. Xbox Music. finally joining the fray of pointless internet browsers for tv with a legit internet browser,halo 4, forza horizon, gears and great third party support, nike+ kinect, great kinect support, and xbox smart glass (shitty gimmick). Out of all this announced, i don't see how this make MS presser bad. :/
Sony- D- Beyond and the last of us is the only redeeming thing sony shown in this presser. I have a hard time trying to understand this. so loli bad. AC3 and sony smash bros was the only thing shown on the vita apart from the beginning montage. Sony failed hard on the vita this conference. psone games is a welcome edition but what else do sony have for this thing? The amount of content ignored is not a good sign for this platform. PS+ members receiving free games is a cool edition for paying subscribers, but no new content was shown...nothing. apart from great third party support, sony smash bros looked horrid, GoW 4 was underwhelming, and The wonderbook is stuff of e3 failure history. remind me of that crab from the 2006 presser. Really shitty stuff.
Fifa and Madden are the two biggest sports games in the EA stable hands down
Fable: The Journey- That Harry potter book game made Fable the Jouney look like Call of duty. 'draw a zig zag to create a spell' Clear the room'
Dance Central 3- Sequel to Dance Central 2 (metacritic 86) as opposed to being a sequel to Sony's Move game Everybody Dance (metacritic 66). which is
Usher sings new single 'scream' #13 in the US Billboard charts for the top rated Dance franchise this gen. Must somehow be abad thing.
Summer of Arcade - So wait are we pretending that Angry Birds is deep and immersive? Also announced Ascend new god, Loco cycle, and Matter. Game of summer Arcade will be Dead Light.
COD Black Ops - Exclusive whoring? Sony announced Assassins's Creed with EExclusive DLC and Far Cry with Exclusive DLC. I guess you don't mind Exclusive whoring when it's Sony.
Forza Horizon -Saw the Spike demo. it looks great.
That leaves us with Gears of War: Judgement and Uncharted:Drake's FortuneLara's Moaning
Your right can't laura can't compete with Last of Beep. They kept beeping the language at the 'insert drake here' demo. Great llooking game but let's not pretend UC wasn't written all over it.
It's easy to bash ANY game on ANY stage. Keep em' coming.
Appearantly there are some games Sony didn't bother to announce officially but included them in the press kits that were handed out.
- Dancestar Party 2
- When Vikings Attack (some kind of puzzle game for Vita)
And it's not entirely clear but The Unfinished Swan seems to be heading to Vita.Seems implausible for a Move game....
As much as I hated sitting through that long ass presentation, the Wonderbook thing might actually turn out to be a big deal. In the same way that Wii Fit and Dance Central are big deals, but still.
Fair enough, a portion of his dance routine became actual gameplay. I'll concede that.
Whereas that magical book shit was 100% gameplay. Care to dispute how that demonstration wasn't gameplay?
was Microsoft's conference better than Sony's? I believe so, yes

First of all, that has nothing to do with xenophobia or nationalism. Secondly, Japan is easily one of the most xenophobic countries on Earth and Sony is a Japanese company. Finally, wtf?
Remember this?

Sony showed games, a tactic I feel elevates their performance above Microsoft.
Microsoft devoted over half of their show to non-game related content, with inexplicable focus on spoiling movies and TV shows and an irrelevant Usher gig to desperately coat over the fact that they had no game-related content.
Sony wins, but only by default. Their conference was nearly is pitiable as Microsoft's pathetic performance.
There are seriously people arguing that Microsoft's conference was better..? Sony focused on games and the games they showed looked fucking awesome.
I find it sad that I need to point this out, but I just hope we're all aware that a consumer of a product is also allowed to be critical and displeased with that product. Apparently negative opinions immediately imply fanboyism.
I find it sad that you clump my post onto his. I just simply replied to your synopsis of thos games with mine. But for the record a picture of a console and games means absolutely nothing to what was posted.
Fratcore? Really now?
I hope Nintendo shits the bed tomorrow as well. Fuck E3. Everything is terrible.
Who said the magical book wasn't gameplay. .

Plus MS didn't waste half their conference on WONDERBOOK. That alone made Sony's worse.
I bring it up because if Sony exhibited any sort of quality like that, it would be more likely directed towards Japanese xenophobia.What else does it mean when someone says a game looks "too Japanese" in a pejorative context?
You bring up Japanese xenophobia as though this somehow excuses western xenophobia.
Well out of the big 3, this is what I make of it

What was she laughing at? I can't remember.Just got back. Pretty awesome for my first conference. And yeah, that woman laughing during Beyond was great. That being said, it's still the most exciting thing to come out of the conference for me.

Microsoft showed more games then sony did even with all that. They hardly spoiled anything in GoT or pro so what the fuck ever.Sony showed games, a tactic I feel elevates their performance above Microsoft.

Well, the most obvious difference between the WiiU controller and the SmartGlass is how they function. This is purely speculative, but the SmartGlass doesn't interect with the console like the WiiU controller does. The WiiU controller basically streams a video feed from the console to the controller. This can't be done so easily with the SmartGlass, because of the varying screen sizes, ratios and resolutions of phones and tablets and the tech limitations. Because of that, what I think it does is download a small app to the device and run it, which in turn communicates back to the console. The fact that all we saw were simple menu interfaces for movies, Halo and Madden supports this. Something like what we saw with Rayman Legend will not be possible if the technology works this way. Doubt Microsoft intended it to work like the WiiU controller anyway.Care to elaborate on them?

At least Wonderbook was related to gaming.
Nike advertisements/Game of Thrones/Prometheus/Sports/More Sports/Bing/Usher were nothing to do with gaming.

Last of Us looked awesome. That's it.

Disappointed with how many of the rumors turned out to be false. No webstore, weak PS+ "revamp", no Gaikai, and no Diablo 3.
Eh, purely from a demo standpoint:And yet MS still demoed off pretty much the same amount of games that Sony did. And I found MS's demos far more interesting. The Halo 4/Splinter Cell/Tomb Raider demos were far more exciting to me than basically anything Sony had outside of Last of Us.
All in all, I don't care though. Both sucked ass.
I don't see why it matters when the end result is a boring waste of everyone's time. Sony also had Vita to support and massively dropped the ball, which hurts the conference a lot.
They both were dreadful.

Well, didn't they announce like 12 games being given out for free though? Not that you had to have it beforehand or anything, but still.I got to give it to that Sony guy on Twitter that tricked everyone into buying PS +. It was definitely slimy as hell, but it worked, and I do think it's a great service.
Dance Central 3.... was it worth it MS?Did Sony show more games than Microsoft?
Sony
Beyond
PS Battle Royal
GOW Ascension
The Last of Us
PSN Games
Microsoft
Halo 4
GOW Judgement
Forza Horizon
Fable Journey
Dance Central 3
XBLA Games
Was it really that different?

Watching Sony's presentation was like watching a married couple have passionless sex
The amount of content MS showed outweighs your argument.Microsoft wasted their time in a myriad of other ways though, that puts them about about even, but I'd say TLOU put Sony over the top.
