Who Won E3 2011? The Full Review Is Inside

GB - "E3 this year was a massive disappointment. Microsoft's conference was a ghostly echo of the one they had last year (which, in turn, was uncomfortably similar to Nintendo's 2008 conference), Sony's conference was largely boring with nothing new really announced and too much focus on 3D, although the PS Vita price reveal came in as a pleasant surprise, and Nintendo's... depending upon which side of the fence you stand on, it was either the best E3 conference we've had in years, or a confused, unfocused mess (if you're like me, it was probably a mixture of both).

Anyway, now that we have the benefit of hindsight, we are going to have a look at all three of the conferences, and decide on who actually 'won' E3 this time around. Strap yourselves in. You may not like what's coming up."

Sony knows how to put an awesome show, but I was disappointed that they didn't announce many new games for the PS3.

PhilipLarkin5468d ago

Exactly - where was my GTA V?

Lord_Sloth5468d ago

May not be exclusive and Sony doesn't normally announce multi-plat titles at their own E3.

Please note that I said both MAY NOT BE and DOESN'T NORMALLY rather than never.

rabidpancakeburglar5468d ago

You should have known long before E3 that you wouldn't get GTA V when Rockstar said that they wouldn't be at E3.

jdfoster005468d ago

AGENT IS NOT FINSIHED. @hamburger123 Still in development you see. When sony CEO was interviewed at the end he said it's still in development and hinted it may be multiplat but playstation will get exclusive content and be the better version (on gttv) I think 2012 E3 is when the games will be coming out. W'ell start seeing the AGENT'S GTAV'S GOD OF WAR 4 AND ETC Maybe a PS4???????????????? Probably not but hey ... you neve rknow!!!

Wait no mention of StarHawk?!!! I kinda hate rumors and speculation now. It takes away the whole fun. Just think if we never knew about the chances of revealing Starhawk, it would have been a real thrilling announcement. Still it's confirmed and I think that's good!

news4me5468d ago

@PhilipLarkin

Hopefully Rockstar has grown out of the GTA immaturity. They have began making far better games without GTA and it's made the company far more respectable in my opinion.

As for the article, I think it was well written and not far off. I agree with the order being Nintendo, Sony, Microsoft, but I honestly think Sony deserved a little more credit and, honestly, I think Microsoft's was pure crap. Worst conference in recent memory.

kikizoo5468d ago

LOL@superduper living in the opposite world of dumb trolls :)

For the others, don't be stupid like each years, if a brand talk about exclusives before E3, it's the same thing : you'll be able to play this exclusives, and sony has more and better than anyone else, like 2009, 2010, etc...

darthv725468d ago

my bank account. All the cool stuff coming out is going to put me in a 3rd and 4th mortgage.

Damn this "hobby" of mine.

morganfell5468d ago

PhilipLarkin,

Rockstar doesn't show games at E3. You may hear hear an announcement of DLC but Rockstar on the whole doesn't do E3.

sikbeta5468d ago

GTAV? you better wait for that

O-T

Sony won this E3, it wasn't difficult at all though, PSV announcement, price and games was the best, it could be better if they showed more games for PS3, N screwed up their wii-u announcement making it all confusing and MS, lets say they pleased more casuals than core gamers this time...

I didn't exactly want it to be shown at e3 but whatever happened to sorcery? was it cancelled?

nnotdead5468d ago

i was thinking the same thing. they showed the Medieval Move game, that had a cool system for weapon changing. though i think it was on-rails, which would be really lame.

Raptor5468d ago

I'm a huge gaming fan and I wasn't even aware there was E3 going on....

besides that I haven't seen a good game (if any game at all) in the last 5 years

cjflora5468d ago

"I'm a huge gaming fan" followed by several contradictions. Good job.

Urmomlol5468d ago

Gaming Bolt is a joke of a website. They're absolutely biased and horrible writers --I don't think anyone takes these clowns seriously, but please don't ever make the mistake of thinking these morons are legit journalists.

I'd say the HipHopGamer is better than these hacks.

gameseveryday5468d ago

Nice to way to use one of the two comments you had. No wonder why people vote you down.

Coming back to the topic: I think Sony had a pretty good E3 outing. they actually showed what they wanted to. The PS Vita price was the surprise point for me. At 250 bucks its an insta buy for me, although the ATnT thing was a bit disappointing.

Urmomlol5468d ago

This coming from the guy who also has two bubbles?

The only difference is, I actually speak the truth while you're a terrible joke of a journalist.

Oh, also everyone hates your website because all you do is post garbage.

moparful995468d ago

Seriously?? Wow the article was "OK" until the nintendo portion.. He comes out and says the WII U is definently more powerful then the ps3 and 360 but then says the specs werent revealed.... Umm How do you know its more powerful then? Speculation, someones a closet nintendo fanboy and his bias bleeds through his writing.... I voted this nonsense down....

reggie185468d ago

FTFA:

"The system, which is expected to be more powerful than the Xbox 360 and the PS3, with output capabilities in 1080p..."

Expected =/= Definitely.

"The console’s specs, release date, price, nothing, was actually revealed."

Not saying the article's reporting is good, but neither is yours.

nycrekid5468d ago

Umm where have you been. The 360 and ps3 can output 1080p also.

Arnon5468d ago

Not many games on the current consoles run it native though. In fact, there's only one game that comes to mind, and that's WipEout HD.

From what I've been hearing, and from what Reggie said, everything shown on the Wii U is running native 1080p.

nnotdead5468d ago

^ there are more than just Wipeout. most are smaller PSN games. i know the first two NBA2k games where,GTP, and i can't remember if GT5 is or not.

almost everything shown running on WiiU where uprezzed Wii games. only thing Reggie was say was the WiiU can do 1080p, but the guys from Ubisoft have been saying the specs have yet to be finalized with the WiiU.

Arnon5467d ago

No, he did in fact say that everything shown at E3 was running at 1080p, including the Zelda Wii U tech demo at the end.

reggie185467d ago (Edited 5467d ago )

I... umm... what?

All I was saying was that moparful claimed the article "definitely" stated that the U is more powerful than ps3/360, and I was just quoting the article that clearly says the U is "expected" to be more powerful. In case you weren't aware, an ellipsis is used to indicate that a quote continues. Should I have ended the quote sooner? Sorry.

"The system, which is expected to be more powerful than the Xbox 360 and the PS3..."

Fixed it for you. Next time I'll have you pre-approve my comments.

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

dveio30d ago

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Jingsing30d ago

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Tanktopmaster9230d ago

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit30d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing30d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9230d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
