Poll: who won at E3?

[Cliffie]

I'd say Nintendo won, Sony second and Microsoft third. The reason I say Nintendo won has unfortunately, to me anyway, nothing to do with Zelda. The new Zelda looked ok but the controls are really not precise enough. As far as arm flailing goes Sonys Sorcery game looked WAY better. To be honest I was expecting more from Zelda, even so it's not finished yet so a lot can happen.

Microsoft was crap in my opinion. As a 360 owner I was very disappointed. I've been one of those guys that haven't hated on Natal (or Kinect lol) all that much, I've said give them time. If they provide the proper games it might be cool.

Natal will be AWESOME if you like Wii party games or Wii Sports however it has absolutely NOTHING that appeals to us hardcore gamers. Sony is at least trying to make Move work for hardcore gamers, Microsoft however doesn't even seem to care. There isn't a single hardcore game launching with Natal. No, the Star Wars game does not count.

In short, Nintendo had the most hardcore games this time around (Do you even realize how stupid this sounds?) and won because of that and the 3DS. Sony came second because of a few things, Kevin Butler (He is hilarious) and the fact that they are actually trying to make Move work. They do However get some minus points however for not showing off the Last Guardian :,<. Microsoft ended up in third place, quite frankly I was disappointed. They did not have even nearly enough cool games and if you're a hardcore gamer, like most of us, you will get no joy what so ever out of the Natal. At least that's my impression after their conference.

Clearly EA

And what was so wrong with Microsofts brief? I have blacked out most of the time kinect was on screen and what i'm left with is a lot of good looking games and some of the actual decent moments with kinect (scrolling by waving your hand... awesome).

Even if you don't like Nintendos games, their conference was everything it was supposed to be:
New games, played live on the spot for the first time.

Micorsoft had little not previously announced, too much bullshit and not enough gameplay. Kinect was boring and I didn't care about anything it had to show.

Sony had TONS of talking, TONS of trailers and barely anything played live. Sorcery looked good, that's about all I cared about besides LBP2. The thing is, we didn't get to see LBP2 PLAYED, it was just a recording.

Nitendo hit the nail. Almost all their stuff was being played live, there was very little "business talk" where they hype up how fantastic they are (they DID have some though) and they brought us games that look fun.

To me, Nintendo won.

LBP2 was played live, you didnt see the four people?

 

[Mindmaker]

Well there have been better e3 in the past.
But from what I've seen that far, I would say Nintendo.

A lot of interesting games, remakes, new ideas and a great new handheld.
I don't even know where to find time for all this stuff...

The reasons why Nintendo didn't win for me was:
1. The bragging
2. Most games that were shown were rehashes of old franshises
3. Zelda's showing was f'ed up by the "wireless disturbances"

And Sony did what?...oh wait, bragging about "Move" and showing montages of games from old franchises..

IMO, Nintendo had the better games, Sony the better "speech" (Kevin Butler).

 

[DeafPedestrian]

I'm going with Sony, can't lose with Portal 2.

So who did win in your mind?

oh and because I just learned the long awaited Goldeneye remake is a Wii exclusive I officially hate nintendo.

 

[Talvrae]

Sure thing... Microsoft have loosed it... I dont see any big annoucement on theyr part this time... The Natal new name s**k, but more importantelly the game on it dont seem fun at all... The only slightly interesting they have annonced is Fable 3

(And i'm mostly a PC/360 player)

oh yeah

I guess that explains why I liked it so much then lol.

 

[OrdinaryGuy]

Nintendo had the best showing, but I voted for Sony for one reason alone. Twisted Metal. They spent waaaaay too much time talking about 3D and the Playstation Move though. If those sections would have been filled with games like Uncharted 3, Resistance 3, and Final Fantasy Versus XIII, it would have been the best. Little Big Planet 2 looks amazing, I'm glad they showed it.

 

[Junkle]

Nintendo won, but only by a very, VERY small amount. They brought back a bunch of games that actually looked fun, and won my faith after last year's catastrophe.
Sony was hard on their heels, with Kevin Butler and a good number of games. The one problem was that they alternated between exiting and boring. They didn't maintain the enthusiasm, the edge that they had. Close, but no cigar.

 

[Prvt.Church]

The only thing that MS had was Bulletstorm. Nintendo took it, especially with the Goldeneye remake.

 

[riotwraith]

Really? I've never seen E3 as a competition. I see it as just the giants of the industry getting together and giving a big sneak peak at their future stuff.

Of course, I haven't payed that much attention to E3 since 2006, so my opinion probably doesn't matter anyway.

 

[Tanzka]

I liked both Sony and Nintendo.

For a more definitive list:

- Move
- Sorcery
- Twisted Metal
- Portal 2
- Playstation Network Plus
- inFamous 2
- GT5
- Kevin Butler

 

[scnj]

I don't know who "won" the e3, but VALVe definitely lost.

No. Gamers lost.

 

[YYZed]

Nintendo won with the 3DS alone in my opinion...and the worst part about it...was the graphics for Kid Icarus better then most Wii game graphics lol???

but Nintendo stole the show with there games as well: the kirby game looks mind blowing, Donkey Kong Countrys have always been amazingly fun and difficult and Zelda...need i say more?

seemed a lot of the minor nintendo members like DK and Kirby got games, am i the only one who wants a Wii game for just Yoshi? It felt like a yoshi announcement would be just around the corner and i was so sad when it was over...oh well Nintendo destroyed E3.

 

[AgDr_ODST]

The only thing that MS had was Bulletstorm. Nintendo took it, especially with the Goldeneye remake.

I was okay with Nintendo but the remake of which you speak being named an exclusive to the wII killed any love I had for Nintendo. I whole heartedly hope all involved with that decision die in a fire.

 

[Kuilui]

I'm not a fan a big Nintendo fan but yea they powned. Sony was in second showing off some decent stuff. New twisted metal game is one thing. Microsoft in 3rd shamelessly ripping off wii games and showing them off for an hour. Just for the record I'm a 360 guy but I call a spade a spade. Also the dialogue was horrible..It was painful to watch most of it. Although Bulletstorm was cool. reminded me of duke nukem+ cyborgs.

 

[JasonKaotic]

Neither of them hit big this year. The new motion things are a big stain of Fail on gaming. And to be honest... Nintendo's new consoles have sucked. The DS is dreadful, annoying as hell to control, ached your hands after a while, and the games were terrible and had really bad graphics. The Wii gets boring after seconds of playing, and the remote aches your arm after minutes. And I can't think of one single game on the Wii that's worth playing.
Why can't they go back to N64-style consoles? That was legendary. Nintendo 360 please.
