Kinect and Move aren't actually video games.tghm1801 said:
They're stupid products tha are going to produce nothign but shovelware like the Wii originally did.
Yep. You heard it here first. Shovel ware jumped form wii to the 360 and Ps3.
I'm gona have to go with sony mainly for Kevin Butler (UK doesnt even get his ads but I still love the guy) but also besause of the psp love I can't wait to dust myn off im excited for about 80% of the games shown in that trailer alone. Also looking forward to getting a better service with psn plus and move is finaly starting to interest me. No last gardian is a shocker though. Nintendo very close second, Microsoft pretty awful if im gona be honest I will pick up a 360 slim though looks cool since I was gona get a 360 soon anyway.
My pleasure good sir. Don't get me wrong, I thought Nintendo had a good showing in terms of the fact that the 3DS does look rather desirable and has some awesome looking games in development. However, this prevailing attitude that "ZOMG! NINTENDO IS TEH WINZ! MICRO$OFT AND $ONY IZ TEH FAILZ! LULLLLZ!" is clearly subjective nonsense. I personally thought MS had the strongest show, but that's only because I actually like the look of Kinect and find the potential of it quite exciting. Plus, talking to my Xbox is just an awesome ideaAgDr_ODST said:
However, I'm sure there are plenty of people who thought it looked awful, loved the look of Move, hate the idea of motion control altogether, thought the 3DS looks like the best thing since someone discovered that you can toast a cheese sandwich, or even just thought everyone sucked/rocked in equal measure. Whatever the opinion, it's all based on personal preference and people need to realise that. There can be no winner at E3 other than the consumer who finds that one or more of the announcements gives them another reason to be excited about gaming.
Huz-freaking-zah! I think I'm more excited for this than for Okamiden, and that's saying something.awsome117 said:Huzzah indeed! The Darkest Dawn will be the light of my gaming lifereap579 said:
QFT. This, and Nintendo's presentation this year fits so nicely in the "Birdmen and the casual falacy" article (quite a nice read about Nintendo's probable strategy, google it up), it's haunting. While Sony and MS have first laughed then scratched their heads then ripped off Nintendo (probably too late), Nintendo now announced a load of titles, including many dear returning franchises for the old core of Nintendo gamers. They are now effectively bridging the gap between the casual and the hardcore, one step at a time. I give'em 2 or 3 years to announce a new console, at which point Sony and MS will slap their collective foreheads, while their gamers are disgruntled at the amount of shovelware that has since invaded their systems.

And that, and for making a presentation that was not boring, and didn't trash talk other systems, is why big N takes the crown this year.
As for Sony and MS, it's hard to say which was worse. But despite the typical cheesy MS shenanigans, i'd have to say Sony was worse. Why? Constant self pats on the back, throwing cheap jokes at other systems, a lot of boring montages (side note: with some really awful music selections), a lot of very still and dull moments, don't care about Kevin Butler, or the PSP ad campaign, or the Coke deal, or the truck, those are all just irrelevant and cocky marketing tricks. As for games, it evens out if you strip off multiplatform titles, and Gabe Newell's surprise just strikes me as a "wtf" moment after their history. And yes, the Move looks relatively accurate, certainly more than Kinect, but it's pretty much a more precise and advanced Wiimote. Kinect is not, for now at least, and probably never will be, for the hardcore titles, but at least MS had either the lunacy or the balls to go in a slightly different direction, instead of just iterating the Wiimote. And as for hardcore titles, the Move may actually be very precise (it remains to be seen, or rather, experienced), but i doubt it will be enough to pry the mouse from my hand. The folks at Sony may very well be shooting themselves in the foot by trying to use one solution to all kinds of games and gamers, while MS is goin' for the whole no-controller motion solution pretty much only for casual, while keeping the controller for the rest. Or it might be the other way around, only time will tell.
http://malstrom.50webs.com/birdman.html Is the article I believe you are referring to. I quite agree with it as well, and it did nicely predict the events this year.aemroth said:QFT.

As to sony bashing the competition there's a saying and I'm afraid I can't remember where I saw it " The company that's winning never mentions there competition as that only leads credence to them, it's the guys who are losing that have to badmouth the competition" when you apply that it just makes all their boasting seem a little sad.
