Who Really Won E3 2012?

Wesley Copeland of VGI writes...

"Each year, publishers and developers alike take to the stage of E3 in a bid to showcase their latest and greatest titles, in an attempt to get us, the gaming public, informed and excited about what the year holds for us. E3 should be the gaming Mecca, an event that encompasses everything that is great about the world of video games and serves as a platform to whet our appetites. Only it didn't. This year, the spirit, and the basic foundations that E3 tries to encapsulate, simply died."

My granny stop asking the same question again and again

Could I be really cheeky and ask a favour of everyone who wants to commetn?

I have a theory that the winner of E3 is all down directly to the demographic.

Obviously it's not all demographic based for every single person, that would be insane, but I've noticed a trend.

Gamers with kids are really excited by the Wii U. There's no doubt this will be a great way to spend Christmas day.

Gamers in general (16-25ish) declare the winner as Sony. They, afterall, were focused on hot, new games.

And lastly, Microsoft employees think Microsoft won...Because they're paid to say that.

So, if everyone who comments could let me know their age (rougly is fine), and if you do, or don't have kids or bothers/sisters, that would be really awesome.

As I said, I'm thinking this year's E3 is set apart directly by the target demographic. This is still just a theory, so I'd love some feedback so that I can determine whether or not the demo theory is accurate or me just talking out my ass.

Cheers all!

I am 30...

and in my opinion, it's a draw between Sony and Ubisoft. Sony, because they have "the balls" to show us 3 new IPs at one conference, two of which I really care for (Beyond and TLOU). And Ubisoft, because in general, their games have more of my interest (as I am not really an fps player at all).

Nintendo... I missed the first half of the show, as I was playing Yakuza 4 (nice game btw, and a bargain to obtain now). What can I say. I don't care for their games at all... and the stuff they did show for the tablet was gimmicky at best. Nothing "game changing" as you put it, in my opinion. This is supposed to be their killer app, yet I can't see how. I don't care for Mario or Pikmin or Lego... I mean Nintendoland. Sure, other people like those, but... stay away from me, please. I've grown very much away from Nintendo (well, I only ever owned a Gameboy, so I am less "biased" from my childhood... and I don't mean this as an offense).

EA was too shooterheavy in my opinion. Yet NFS looked good.

MS... well, they didn't show any real games, so... meh.

At first I was like, No Code Veronica on the list!? But then I seen Mainline. The list checks out, but I would personally put 2 over 4.

KwietStorm_BLM1d 11h ago

I'll take 2 over 4 also. And even without a number, I don't see how Code Veronica, my other favorite in the franchise, isn't mainline when it's the actual sequel to RE2.

Rebel_Scum1d 14h ago

The original RE was the best. Its not on the list which makes no sense.

The remake of it was alright but should be higher on this list.

-Foxtrot1d 11h ago

The original RE smokes VII and Village, come on.

I would be interested in a Saints Row 2 Remake.

Alos881d 20h ago

I would agree... if the old Volition was still around to do it.

I just started this game last night, just the player creation had me upset. You choose male but they stand like a female. Eyebrows are all effeminate, face, and verything seems to be modeled after a female with a thin male overlay.

I only played the opening and didn’t even complete that before I turned the game off. I will likely go back and try it again, but a very weird first impression.

Huey_My_D_Long1d 22h ago

You sound super weak to be upset by a character creator ngl

ChunkyMonk1d 22h ago

welcome to your average n4g daily user lol

chicken_in_the_corn2d ago

I'm not surprised after the backlash and hatred the last one got.

1nsomniac2d ago

The franchise has been complete utter garbage for almost 20 years. The first one was the only decent game of the lot of them.

Huey_My_D_Long1d 22h ago

OMG Thank you! Never understood how people raved about Saints Row like it was GOATED.
Honestly Janky Generic feeling titles with Humor that tried to way too hard. People criticize Borderlands for its humor, but holy hell, still leagues better than any SR.

Kinda dumb they asked for his pitch then ghosted him, the concept sounded dope

I've been wanted to revisit the game in the back of my mind for years and this is big. There's still a good handful of 360 games locked to the system I'd love to see now that the seal is broken on decompiling these games.
