So who won E3 This year?

Based on the exclusive games and future technologies put out by both Sony and Microsoft, this is a hard one to decide
 
I'm not going to vote... I think it was pretty even between Sony and MS. Had Sony cut the price of the PS3, it would have been them.
 
I'm actually happy they did not cut the price, otherwise I would have been sad since I bought a PS3 just recently.
 
Sony's exclusive game presentations were more impressive IMO. Uncharted 2 blew me away.

We didn't hear many details, but the PS3 exclusive Rockstar North game Agent sounds incredible. Houser is back. :cool:
 
I would have like to seen a price cut, or the rumored Slim PS3, but I have a feeling that Nadal is a little far off in the future before it is serviceable, and the PS3 version of the wiimote might be up and running sooner, not to mention is did look precise in its movements.. although very jittery at some points
 
Depends on who your favorite was...

They all had decent showings, much better than last year, that's for sure.

I'm still kind of laughing at all the motion things. The Natal is a neat idea, but it's just eye toy with different software and it's coming out too late in the system's lifespan to catch on. The PS3 one is literally wiimote + wii motion plus + stupid glow ball on top + eyetoy.

Lots of neat games though. Alan Wake looks sweet, GT5 looks amazing, God of War looks nice. I'm really digging the new 2d wii mario and the new metriod looks stellar (Metriod Gaiden!). Brutal Legend, Guitar Hero 5 and RB: Beetles all look great too! Should be a pretty good year.
 
If PSP Go wasn't leaked, Sony would win it hands down with the great games like MGS and GT.
 
Personally I think Microsoft won out, but it was VERY close between them and Sony, and I think Sony came much closer then last year. I think Microsoft did a MUCH better job of just showing the games. Sony showed too many short trailers, and focussed too much on the PSP, for my tastes. With the exception of ANOTHER Final Fantasy game, everything else was pretty much expected. Microsoft had Metal Gear: Rising, and I think even though we knew about the Natal rumors, it was a lot more impressive then anyone probably thought. Then stuff nobody expected like 1080p, 5.1 channel movies, Facebook, Twitter, etc. were cool.

I could be wrong on the numbers, but it seemed like Microsoft showed more things that you can expect this year. All the cool things I liked, shown during Sony's conference, all ended with "Coming in 2010." Uncharted 2 looks awesome though.

Nintendo, yet again, was horrible. I thought it was better then last year, but with the bar being set so low last year, it's hard to do any worse. Plus after having now seen Sony's keynote, it just makes Nintendo's show that much worse. There were a few cool things, like the new Dead Space, and The Conduit, but other then that it was a lot of talk...
 
I didn't expect much from Nintendo and I was right, what the hell... a pulse meter... really?? its like they aren't even trying anymore
 
I'll go with MS...even if their main focus was something that doesn't exist and may not ever exist in the form they showed.

Seems like a smart move. Just show some crazy pre-alpha project you're thinking of and people will run with it.

Sony wasn't as impressive, but what they showed looked much closer to reality.

Nintendo was a joke, as usual.
 
I went Sony. A lot of new stuff that peaked my interest more than Microsoft. I'll admit their clips were rather meh, but Nintendo was WAY worse.
 
Project Natal from Microsoft destroyed the other two. Absolutely destroyed them. Sony and Nintendo just looked sad next to that.

For the record I do not own a PS3 or Xbox. I have a Wii that is collecting dust.

I think the PSP go is the biggest fail of Sony's presser. $250 and ugly as sin? I don't think it is going to be very popular, especially when there doesn't seem to be a way to play your old UMD games on it.
 
if the PSP go hadn't leaked, I wouldn't have such a hard time deciding between the two... but the mockup of the psp go vs the actual device leaves a lot to be desired
 
I'm sick of seeing trailers for games that are a year + out. In all likelihood Sony will be showing GT5 and FF XIV next year at E3 and everyone will give them credit for it then too. Microsoft's showed real games, rather than just trailers. Long term buildup with cgi trailers just doesn't do it for me anymore.
 
Sony for me, a motion controller with buttons and hd makes more sense to me, scrolling and stuff in menus etc has already been done in eyetoy games, the exclusives on the ps3 also appeal more to me, i think whats happened is all the hammered exclusives are now multiplatform and sony is betting on new exclusive ips, cant wait for the psp go, and we get it first in the uk!! right im off to wait for tonights ff7 download!!
 
MAG, GOW3, The Last Guardian, Uncharted 2, Gran Turismo 5, Agent, Mod Nation Racers and Final Fantasy 14 nuff said?? sux that they did not have anything on Heavy Rain...
 
Thinking about it... it's crazy how many of the games we saw this E3 were actually announced last year, or before.
 
meh, fuck all games.

MAG 256 player squad based warfare. Cant top that out. Period :D

Not many surprise game announcements. FF14 and Agent were pretty big though. We knew Rockstar North was contracted to make an exclusive game and we heard about how it would fully exploit BD, but now we have an actual title and theme. A free roaming game like GTA but where you play a secret agent sounds perfect. ;)
 
The God of War 3 and Uncharted live demo's blew away any game MS showed.

Ow man Gow3 looks so fucking awesome when that start demo screen come up I was hoping to god they would announce the demo is available now, but they didn't and my boner was gone.:(

Yeah, that same thought occurred to me when Nintendo starting showing the WiiMotion Plus with the new Wii Sports game. But Microsoft and Sony were guilty of this too.
 
I think Nadal is almost too "futuristic" to work correctly.. it looks like there is no way for it to work as advertised..

on the other hand, if it did work correctly without glitches, it would be pretty amazing. Maybe it's something that will come out when the next XBox is released... with the wii sensor bar, PS3 eyetoy and then that sensor bar for Nadal, my HDTV is going to have a lot of stuff hanging off of it

Although no company really "wins" E3 (and yes I know what everyone means when they ask that question) I'm gonna have to agree with this. MS went straight to the point and showed actual demos. No sales figures, no 5 minute video montages of stuff we have already seen or knew about, no games that not even God know when will be out... just games being played. That being said, I am excited for a few of the PS3 games especially Uncharted 2 and God of War 3.

Nintendo... well... yeah. I grew up with them but now they're basically dead to me. It's obvious they are going for a new generation of gamers so I'm fine with the other 2 consoles I have left.

Half these games were already announced. Why does sony just keep getting credit for showing the same games at E3 year after year? Its about the new stuff.
 
I think MS had the best show. No fluff, just games that you can play sooner than later. I think it's great that they show games that you can most likely play before the next E3.

I wonder if Sony can push back GT5 for another year. That'd be remarkable. :rolleyes: How many E3's has it been since it was first shown?
 
Microsoft wins for innovation and integration, but Sony wins for games.

GT and MGS PSP ?
Click to expand...

The first has been in development literally since the psp was first announced and the mgs part had an awful lot of "no really guys, I'm heavily involved in it this time, which means it can't suck even though its for a portable...please believe me." Not saying they can't both be really good, but I'd hardly consider the announcements groundbreaking.
 
Sony won hands down.
Msoft was pretty good, i really wasn't won over with project natal,
Nintendo was just depressing, 2 titles i will be looking forward to.
but Sony had the most to show, i love exclusives, and that really won me over, with better looking games and the possibility of the motion controller by spring 2010, which had great response and was also showcased live with no flaws to show (even as a prototype).
if this year isnt Sony's year, than 2010 will be.

*NOT A FAN BOY* That was just my impression. i do want Sony to succeed, because they have soo much to offer, msoft doesnt really need any help since they already have a huge fan base, and nintendo... well they were pretty well set from day 1.
 
Nintendo: shitty presentation with one or two good games. Keep milking that Mario crap, worked out real well for Sonic.

Sony: pretty awesome stuff coming out with a ton of good games. Anyone know if FF14 will require a monthly subscription?

Microsoft: likewise with Sony but with a more useful entertainment center (Netflix/Zune at 1080p and online retail game downloads). Just waiting to see who will have the better motion-sensing camera device, Sony or MS, and if Natal will really work with all the games out there like MS said.

I'd have to say I would give MS for creativity and entertainment but Sony was pretty damn close to MS; Sony's games appear to be more fun. Nintendo, as usual, was dead last before they even started, way to focus on scoring a bigger market share and ignoring us gamers.
 
The sony motion sensitive controller looks to play and handle like the wii controllers. Nothing really new there.
Whereas the xbox natal reads your entire body, has facial and voice recognition.

Having a Wii it is my opinion that the motion sensitivity is just a gimick. I'm glad that they give you multiple control options in games as i've stopped using it and play with a classic controller most of the time.
 
There is a Miyamoto conference later ... if they announce new Zelda Wii = Nintendo Insta win

if they do not ... i will have thrown my last flower to their grave

it did appear that the PS3 iteration of the wiimote was far superior and way more precise than the wiimote, however it did look to be jittery at points and somewhat hard to use

i do think the PS3 wiimote has way more potential than the nintendo wiimote with the extra sensor thing you have to buy
 
Seemed pretty even for sony and MS as ppl said. nintendos finger meter peripheral is dumb but mario galaxy 2 and the new 2d one should be really fun. I'm really interested to see which motion camera thing works better between sony and MS.
 
Haven't read any responses but WE WON E3!

Hate console war crap. The big 3 are competing and we are getting better products and services out of it! Maybe I can say that because I own all current platforms sans DS.

Obviously they have the formula down when you compare it to E3 2008.
Showcase Mag: Check
Showcase GOW3: Check
Teaser for GT5: Check
Discuss new studios signing on to PSN to expand content: Check

On a serious note I did think the racers game was interesting, look like an enhanced mario kart. I did get a kick out of the unique "stompers", that they called them, but have been around since the first mario kart as I remember. However what sony is doing differently is the built in level editors and shared content. That's pretty cool.

The major complaint with the PS3 presentation I had was all the talk about how the experience is not possible on the other machines, but every time they went to the larger clips of the PS3 library it mostly consisted of cross platform games. I would rather hear less about it's not possible, vs showing me something.. Example after hearing that same comment repeat for several minutes they display ACII. Obviously allot of this is marketting, and guess I place little value unless I see specifics.

I also prefer the information mostly concerning what is coming this year (ie date), with some tidbits of what we can expect in the future. To be fair, Sony had several product launches (PSP, PS3) so maybe they were crunched for time so the PS3 content could have contained more if they had less to cover.

Obviously each one had items I didn't care for. Including the facebook, twitter, on the xbox 360. I would have preferred hulu. Natal, I thought looked good, but obviously way out there before it comes to market.

However all the MS games presented were coming out this year (with dates), not covered in last years presentation (I believe), so I had more to look forward to on that camp.

Probably just does down to style as people mentioned. Example PS3 is selling the future several years out, vs MS selling the console for this year.

They really stressed that not possible line with Uncharted 2 and GoW3.

Uncharted 2 was one of the best looking games at E3.
