WOW SONY WON THIS E3 WITH MILES AHEAD OF ANYTHING ELSE
I WAS AMASED!

-Alpha5808d ago (Edited 5808d ago )

It was great. TMB2 was awesome.

My only problem was the pacing. Felt a little slow at times. Compared to Nintendo where it was "announcement, boom, game trailer". I wanted to see more about Plus too. However, they covered everything they needed to both from a business perspective and for us gamers.

And I was hoping they'd replace all the stuff with EA, PSP, PS2, etc. with Agent, Versus, TLG especially. I was VERY worried because there were some slow parts, but the second half really picked up.

Honestly, there was so much and like I predicted Sony didn't have time for all of it. But TMB2 really was the best thing I've ever seen. LBP2 looks amazing, inFamous 2 looks awesome.

I think Nintendo and Sony both had top-notch conferences. I liked them both for very different reasons. It was a great E3 for gamers, and I was only really disappointed with MS.

Akagi5808d ago (Edited 5808d ago )

To me, it was surprise after surprise. PS3 totally won E3, Nintendo second, 360 third. Although, each platform has delivered an impressive show and whatever platform you own, you're gonna have a good time.

Anarki5808d ago

Yeah. I felt the conference was a kind of slow. But at the end, it was like a barrage of game after game after game.

I'd like to have seen more of PSN+ though, and less of Tiger Woods.

I'm still happy with everything that's coming, I think Valve announcement taken the cake, along with the massive release date of GT5.

This was a really good E3 for Sony and Nintendo, IMHO...

Hideo_Kojima5808d ago

Lets make it clear that NINTENDO ALSO DID VERY WELL!

That was the biggest surprise of E3 for me.

I expected Sony to be the best.

Tony-A5808d ago (Edited 5808d ago )

I agree. They showed games that people were expecting, which all looked very impressive and they included big surprises that popped up one after another.

The pricing for Move was OK. I'm sure Kinect will be just over that, even though they haven't even announced a price.

Some shockers included Gabe's attendance with Portal 2, the Coca-Cola deal, all those EA exclusivity deals, Twisted Metal GAMEPLAY! and Gran Turismo's release date.

The beginning started pretty slow, but Heroes on the Move and Sorcery both look pretty impressive and a bit more for core gamers than what I was expecting. The end was an absolute killer!

The disappointments were no TLG, Agent, Versus XIII or PS2 on PSN. Luckily we got an onslaught of (somewhat general in some cases) release dates, but I feel like I'm missing something.

It was a very solid show. Both Nintendo and Sony definitely surprised and had entertaining shows. Butler's speech was great and the announcements got a ton of applause.

I feel like they aren't finished, though. I really wanted them to cap off with those games that were announced before.

Still, $50 for a Move controller was good. $30 for the Nav was not. $100 for the bundle was pretty good, considering it's expected that Kinect will be a standalone for over that (most expecting $149) and $400 or over for the entire bundle.

Like I said, I think Nintendo and Sony killed it! Microsoft kind of blew it, but it's not to say their line-up will not make money for them. All they need is Gears and Halo. All Sony really needed was GT5 and all Nintendo needed was Zelda.

PS: I like how Butler's speech involved worshiping games and not consoles! I chuckled at his small "pew pew pew" footnote, too.

Sony destroyed E3.

sikbeta5808d ago

Sony Conference was Totally Awesome, there was some motion-crap, some stuff was Great about the whole motion-thing, KB was Awesome, Multiplat Pfft, like if Sony Needed, TM Totally OWNS, KZ3 EPIC, MotorStorm Apocalypse, even if they Didn't Show Much Was Pretty Great, Gabe there was Shocking and his announcements too...

So, was Just Awesome....

Ausbo5808d ago

im not doubting that they had the best conference at all, cause they did, but how come you are excited so much about exclusive dlc or multiplatform games. Don't you rip xbox fanboys and Microsoft for talking about the same crap?

qface645808d ago

tell me how they won E3 everyone here is saying that but how
they had 2 hours and they only revealed 2 new games twisted metal and heroes on the move

gabe being there was a big shocker but that is it though they just showed more of what was already shown so im curious as to why everyone is saying they just won E3

of course i expect to get a bazillion disagrees for this

dktxx25808d ago

Sony showed that Move will be enjoyable by both the hardcore and casual, they showed a great line-up for the future, they showed loads of exclusive content, Gran Turismo 5 date. They did really well.

But if you ask me, both Sony and Nintendo won. They had different objectives, and they both accomplished their goals.

ClownBelt5808d ago

They had the "Wow" factor that the other two didn't have.

UnwanteDreamz5808d ago (Edited 5808d ago )

Hey I think they are entitled to an opinion. I am sure even you can understand that.

finbars755808d ago

All nintendo showed where old 80 games revamped boring MS showed Technology that still doesnt work and sony showed the future of gamming and just having Gabe on there along with Butler and announcing twisted metal plzzzzz thats all u need.U dont have to show 100 games to win.Nintendo showed games that are only for causl gammers and familys.Sony showed games for everyone.Good try there qface64

Hideo_Kojima5808d ago

They won because they actually showed NEW games than MS.

MS showed all the games from last E3 +2

Sony showed all the games they recently announced +2 fresh games... not games that already had a BETA or games that have already been talked about in other conferences.

qface645808d ago (Edited 5808d ago )

except they aren't really giving their opinion they are accepting it as a FACT is that really an opinion

what all of a sudden because i don't think sony won E3 it makes me a wii fanboy?

@finbars75
your comment is actual very silly and very foolish
some of the people commenting are giving me actual reasons you just gave me nothing at all but a very silly comment

darkvenom5808d ago

I disagreed with that you'll get a bazillion disagrees./

oldjadedgamer5808d ago (Edited 5808d ago )

@finbars

If you can't see the value of the games Nintendo announced, then I feel for you. DKC, Mario, Zelda may not have the blood and guts of other "hardcore" games, but they are not just casual games.

Just cause an 8 year old can enjoy it doesn't mean a 21 year old can't.

Edit: @qface
I also think Nintendo won, but thats more of me looking forward to their games more than thinking that Sony was lacking.

I would enjoy DKC more than GT5, but thats an opinion.

sikbeta5808d ago (Edited 5808d ago )

GT5 EPIC Trailer + Release Date = Best News
Heroes on The Move = Jak+Daxter+Ratchet+Clank+Sly = EPIC Game
KZ3 Amazing Gameplay = EPIC Win
GOW: Ghost of Sparta
KB on Stage = EPIC Win
Gabe on Stage + Steam Coming to PS3 + Portal 2 = WIN
A Little of MotorStorm Apocalypse = Totally Awesome
Twisted Metal For PS3 = EPIC News
Move Great Precision Proved = WIN
That Magic-like Move Game was Great = Win
LBP2 = Win
And More...

UnwanteDreamz5808d ago

Nope I based my (now edited) comment on your recent comment history. I thought it seemed judgemental so I changed it.

Nintendo and Sony saved E3.

kharma455808d ago

Agreed.

Nintendo did some stellar work bar the Zelda demo going a bit awry.

The last 40 minutes of the Sony presser was great.

vickers5005808d ago (Edited 5808d ago )

Agree, except:

Ubisoft: F

Parapraxis5808d ago

InfectedDK has almost as many disagrees as agrees, a lot of bitter non-PS3 owners here it seems.

There were SO MANY games...I think a lot of people need to sit back and consider all that was shown.

StarScream4Ever5808d ago

True I actually was gonna handed to Nintendo but.... Sony definitely turn the tide with many surprises (no Ico remake).

oldjadedgamer5808d ago

I feel like both Nintendo and Sony had excellent conferences. How you would rank them comparatively would depend on each persons preferences on games.

Mista T5808d ago

Sony first, Nintendo is a very close second and MS is dead last

Dance5808d ago

nintedno put microsoft and sony conference to shame

FlipMode5808d ago

By announcing game after game like Donkey Kong, Kirby and Icarus.

Solid_Malone5808d ago

whata loada shit, cant believe resistance 3, last guardian or agent werent there. FFS sony, u started showing us some random marketing techniques (like that coca cola bullshit and some black kid off 'everybody hates chris') that your employing wtf was the point in that, that isnt E3. E3 is all about innovation and showing us technology that we've never seen before... ahh ffs i cba going on about how disappointed i am. SONY I AM DISAPPOINTED, STIMULATE ME AT GAMESCOM WHEN YOUR READY!!

andthensum5808d ago

Gamers, Move on. Nothing to see here. Just the same 360 fanboy and his duplicate account.

Gamehead365808d ago

The black kid is from role models, and he was funny as hell in it. Get your facts straight before you talk shit or stfu

Solid_Malone5808d ago

lol oh rite sorry, didn't know he was recognised in the US. But still disappointing conference on Sony's behalf. I thought there was gonna be a new hideo kojima game being announced :(.

@andthensum: im not a troll, they don't exist in the UK, only in the US unfortunately

thereapersson5808d ago

It's like I stated in a previous article. Sony doesn't need E3 as much as Microsoft or Nintendo does. Sony tends to keep the announcements / games rolling in throughout the entire year, and doesn't have to save everything for one two-hour conferecne.

cmrbe5808d ago

Even without U3, Starhawk,R3 annoucment as well as more info on The Agent and TLG. Sony still wins big.

Goes to show how much more Sony has going for it fans than competition.

LMAO!! at x360 fans spinning in this article. Kenetic suck donkey balls as well as MS E3 conference. Deal with it. Everyone knows it.

360 man5808d ago (Edited 5808d ago )

i have to say this E3. i was a bit disappointed with microsoft and sony.
nothing really new was shown

ravinshield5808d ago

Exclusive DLC for Medal Of Honor
Exclusive DLC for Dead Space 2
Exclusive DLC for Mafia 2

and yet u guys bash microsoft for getting exclusive dlc and look at what Fony is doing now the tables have turned

Gamehead365808d ago

If you fight with fire expect to get burned by it. Sony is just fighting fire with fire and now microsoft and fanboys alike are crying.

silvacrest5808d ago

yeah but this DLC is specifically from EA not everyone like microsoft does

ico925808d ago (Edited 5808d ago )

it was good not amazing not as good as last years but 100 times better than microsofts confrence i had 3 problems with it

1. too many montages, and to much exposition done on move

2. No Resistance 3 which was shocking

3. The Last Guardian wasnt there and there is no release date.

Sony won but i kept waiting for resistance 3 and it never came

Shaka2K65808d ago

Sony 10/10.

nintendo 6/10.

microsoft 3/10.

Sony won E3 yet again !!!!

Will-UK5808d ago (Edited 5808d ago )

But for me sony 9/10 no resistance

Edit:Nintendo 7/10 and MS Was really poor 4/10

FiftyFourPointTwo5808d ago

or Agent.

or Resident Evil PSP.

:(

juniordee5808d ago

6/10 is way too low for Nintendo's conference..and Sony didn't really deserve a 10. Fanboy much?

They both had equally great conferences.

evilmonkey5015808d ago

@ will-uk...just wait. There are a few shows left and they're coming up SOON!
I HAVE PERSONAL KNOWLEDGE OF RES3...its in the works, dont worry.

Will-UK5808d ago

I just waited and waited but no resistance

Killzone3Helghast5808d ago

and The Last Guardian from Team Ico? Though, we will probably see that at the Tokyo Game Show like Final Fantasy 13 Versus

the-show-stopper5808d ago

wait till after e3
maybe sony will go back to showing one new exclusive per a week or two
they probably didnt show off many new games cause they want thier games to have the spotlight for awhile

The_Firestarter5808d ago

Honestly, I was waiting for Agent. I thought that "last surprise" was gonna be Agent, but I was stunned when it was Twisted Metal.

I was totally NOT expecting that. Kudos to Sony for keeping a lid on the big surprises for this E3.

dktxx25808d ago

Both Sony and Nintendo put on great performances, that can't be sitting well with Microsoft.

Codeman4205808d ago

Havent watched nintendo yet(though im not a big fan of them anyways) but sony showed they Love there hardcore gamers with valve now coming to the PS3, AC:Brotherhood Beta and more the PS3 looks to keep its momentum going. Instead of having a show that was completely ruled my PS Move(unlike MS who focused to much on Natal), they made their casual players happy but more importantly they made the Hardcore players happy, by not leaving them in the dust.

Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.

They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.

solideagle12d ago

they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.

Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted
