I will believe you if this is your first and only press conference ever. Otherwise you are full of it.
In comparison to what MS did earlier today, this was amazing. But looking at it realistically it was solid. GOW, LOU, Beyond. If MS had two new IPs MS fans would be going nuts.

Sony was great except for the part with Wonderbook. But other than that, Battle Royale looked awesome and way more fun than i thought, Last of Us was amazing, Beyond is gonna be cool, and God of War was epic.

Amazing.
Beyond seems good, its technical achievements are clear to see. But, man, unless the gameplay and story can deliver, it will all be for naught. And people don't have high expectations given Heavy Rain's shortcomings in those areas.
Que rape culture in video g.... oh wait wrong topic.

Sony got me with Syphon Filter listed on the first party thing

Insane For Sony
Despite all the recent vapourware goings about it, I really still can't believe that The Last Guardian wasn't there. I guess there's still hope that some demo will be on the show, but who am I kidding.
That said, the applause would not be for killing, it would be for delivering that message in a punch in a gut manner, that stops your breath short.
If you're merciful in that world, next minute you're dead. You could see that in the truck cutscene, that's the takeaway from it all, and they nailed it masterfully here.

I liked that there was a big focus on games, and some of the exclusives looked really great to me, it just felt that there was a lack of something. It was certainly better than Microsoft's by a country mile but that's no feat. I guess I was just expecting a larger quantity of games and a couple of surprises like Last Guardian.
I would say the conference was... uneventful. That's a good word for it IMO.

The Portal stuff in the sizzle trailer.. is this new?
Conference redeemed. A+ for Sony

If I had to choose, I would pick Usher dancing over the awkwardness of that SUPER LONG Wonderbook demo.
You got to be kiddding me. Usher has two songs on DC3, including the one he performed. Plus he actually used choreoography from his real shows. But that equals RANDOM dance number?
Usher promoting DC and his new hit live on Spike TV > than the same exact DC dancers dancing to random song from the game.
Did you really say 'Usher's number literally had no tie-in apart from "Buy Dance Central".
WOW
13-2 maybe but 13 sales were very good in NA.

Both Sony and Microsoft just had incredibly underwhelming conferences. Next to no new game announcements, a couple of solid demos each and padded by third party/services talk. You mustn't have seen many E3 conferences if you thought either was the "worst conference ever".
At this point, I'm just really ready for next gen. There's enough great games coming over the next 12 months, clearly neither Sony nor Microsoft have much major current gen software plans beyond that.

Sony's was just a tad better than Microsoft today... Beyond looks quite interesting, and Last of us was medium for me.. could be cool, but the genre is starting to be played out / flooded with uncharted esque clones.. Throw in zombies for good measure? Meh.
The Harry potter thing is canceled out by Microsoft's angry-birds clone, so really, the only edge Sony had over MS was the lack of a useless musical performance.
I can't count Trey Parker and Matt Stone in MS' favour, since they trolled them hard at their own conf.
As it stands, Matt & Trey have 'won' E3, so far.

Come true by ports that everyone else played a year ago? Or multiplat titles?

Same. That book thing was disastrous.
I was teetering on C+, but honestly the Last of Us footage put it over the top barely.
you didn't see the presser either, did you?
PS3-show was really good,
Vita has some good games, but still nothing that will push its sales... :/
and "wonderbook" was just shit and waste of time. <.<
Games better than Ubisofts, but the show from them was better.
Tlou, gow and beyond were really amazing and showed their quality.
Tlou, beyond and watch dogs are really hot new ips.

Well Gravity Rush comes out next week, Soul Sacrifice is a new IP coming later, Sly Cooper is coming to the Vita, there is Little Big Planet, PSASBR, Warriors Lair, Sound Shapes, and I am sure I am missing more PSN titles, all of which are made by Sony.
I would have loved to have seen more of a Vita presence at E3 and felt if they cut the Wonderbook segment in half and showed a live demo of Soul Sacrifice and Warriors Lair they would have had a better impact, and yet not announced anything more. However, I still know those are coming so I am not going to fret over it. They said 60 Vita titles are still to come this year so we have yet to see everything, especially from 3rd party.
Just as good as 40 minutes of oh look Music unlimited is on PSN! Exciting right?

Sony's ps3 lineup was a strong showing but I'm seriously pissed at the lack of vita support.

Agreed. Those two looked fantastic, shot to my top of the E3 list. But I think Nintendo is going to blow everyone out of the water.
The carribean area was mainly fought between France and Spain versus Britain.

I totally gave that a second look. Was that atrocity actually announced?Remember this?

Great. Did I see how it was going to be in the actual game? No? Then you don't have much of a point there, do you?
People defending 5-minute Usher in an MS conference is probably the lowest of the low. I really, truly pity MS fans at this point.
Cute, keep trying.

On reflection...I'm downgrading this conference. Its worse then I thought. There's nothing new. There wasn't anything novel. We got to see a cinematic for the new Quantic game and a single ten minute segment of interesting gameplay from The Last of Us. Everything else, literally everything else I would have expected as run of the mill announcements or trailer releases.
