Poll: who won at E3?

[mrdude2010]

to be honest, in my opinion the showing for all the consoles was kinda weak especially compared to other years

i don't see why everyone is making such a big deal about the 3ds either it really doesn't look that special, and the 3d is probably going to suck hardcore.

I don't even care about the 3D, the point is that it's the next generation of handhelds. I love handhelds, and even if you don't like Nintendo specifically you should at least be excited that this means the PSP2 isn't far behind.

I digress my fellow forum dweller. I've completely ignored it and I still won as a gamer. Hell for all the shit everyone(including 360's owners) gives it I think the Kinect related announcements still trounced the 3DS. Why because one of these days Kinect(or whatever comes after it) will be far more revolutionary and useful than the 3DS will evere be, in a sense that goes past its uses in gaming.

Sadly, all I saw in Kinect was yet more of that dead-end motion nonsense and near fatal levels of hype.
Besides, I don't come home every night, and unwind by standing in front of my TV waving around like an idiot.

At least the 3DS is a small step forward for Nintendo's hardware capabilities rather than something to propagate the casual-market/motion-control fad. You know, saying that now makes it seem so ironic now that it's almost poetic.
Still, I wish they weren't following the James Cameron fad of the moment either. Lets call it the "lesser of the two stupid fads" for now.

As for non-gaming related uses for motion sensors, well the gaming industry is already using it (motion capture comes to mind) plenty. I am quite tired of people throwing around the word "revolutionary" though.
Come on people. Nothing you saw today is revolutionary; rather, it's streamlined production of tech that's been around for the better part of the last decade if not longer.

I'm tired of these silly gimmicks, that's all.

im fine with my gameboy advance thank you very much =]

i see your point but im still not particularly excited about any of the consoles showings

For me it's Sony, because of GT5.

 

[GloatingSwine]

Nobody really. I'm not immediately losing my mess over the 3DS, because frankly I don't play handhelds enough as it is, and when I do they're disposable gaming that I don't really pay attention to. Skyward Sword didn't look great either, what with the limitations of the Wii platform bogging it down. Microsoft at least showed some games I'm going to enjoy playing, new Gears, etc, but I'm not sold on Kinect or Move, and Sony basically had nothing else of interest.

Nintendo won. 3DS, new Zelda, Zelda: OoT remake.. 'nuff said.

OoT remake? Link?

I'm most excited for the games on the 360, but microsoft didn't really announce anything we didn't already know about, so i don't know if that can be warranted as winning or not. Nintendo had some titles with a lot of potential, but other than "donkey kong country returns," from what I saw none of them actually looked good, so I'm skeptical. Sony had some games that where also on the xbox and infamous 2.

I'd say either microsoft or nintendo won.

 

[Custard_Angel]

No one ever wins. No one finally loses. Except the dead.
Under the sun they rot with absolute biological equality.

For real though... It was all a cavalcade of mediocrity. Which is pretty much the default statement that can be applied to current generation gaming.

Nintendo is being Nintendo.
Sony is imitating Nintendo.
Microsoft is imitating Nintendo.

I just don't get why everyone is now attempting to recreate what was achieved years ago... Wii's gimmick is stale, yet everyone wants a piece of it...

Bugger me.

It looks like Nintendo's biggest thing is a new DS. Not to be an ass but... Who cares?

But what about the technical aspect of it? They managed to get working 3D on a screen without the need for glasses and in a handheld format. Even if you don't like Nintendo games, the hardware in itself I think is pretty impressive.

I think I was most excited about the Nintendo conference overall. Their past conferences have been disappointing, not much in the way of games I felt like owning. This was the first year where I am really looking forward to playing some new releases as well as their handheld.

That being said I still can't say they 'won' because my problems with the other conferences was that I don't own a 360 or PS3 so I didn't really pay attention to either of them. (though, 'bout time on the built in Wi-Fi on the new Xbox, may consider getting one)

I just don't get why everyone is now attempting to recreate what was achieved years ago... Wii's gimmick is stale, yet everyone wants a piece of it...

Isn't it obvious? It's to make money of course.

Wait, someone won? What did they win?

I'll tell you all who won E3, we gamers did.

Here here good sir!

 

[QuickDEMOL1SHER]

Nobody won.

Nintendo just announced a bunch of old shit made new, Sony blabbered about nothing and Microsoft was too busy sucking off the Wii's gay cousin, AKA Kinekt(or however you spell it), to even notice E3 was happening.

The only even semi-interesting things were Reach, Infamous 2 and Killzone, but even then.

 

[Guitarmasterx7]

OoT remake? Link?

Of course it's Link who else would it be.

...god damn it. I walked right into that. You win this time spider man.

 

[ChunX]

I'm sorry I didn't know e3 was a contest.

Oh it is. Three mega first-party companies and the other third-party developers all strutting their new wares for the next year while constantly trying to one-up the other guys... That's business. And business, my good sir, is always a contest.

 

[Wingmna]

Nintendo is too Childish to win, in my opinion... Who cares about a Mickey Mouse game?

Microsoft, as normal, was boring. The only thing good they showed was MGS Rising which is Multiplatform anyway.

Sony won for me. They introduced some things we knew were coming, but it was still way more exciting than the other media conferences. Twisted Metal and Killzone 3 were freaking awesome and EXCLUSIVE to PS3... Call of Duty... not so much... that's why it was better.

This is a joke right?

If not, then the only one who needs to grow up is you. Games a childish, bloody shooting games a childish, hence why you get so many children on them... Or man-children.

If anything Nintendo makes the most mature titles.

 

[Mcface]

Yeah yeah I know technically Sony's Press Even isn't over yet but I think most of us who have been able to watch them live have a pretty good idea in thier minds who in the end will walk away as the big winner. So my question to you is who of the Big 3 won based on the strength of thier Press Event?


As for me. Even though I only own a 360 which you would think make biased to Microsoft, I can't say they won as they underwhelmed with thier show this year. SO Im gonna swallow my pride and give it to Sony



EDIT: for everyone who thinks it should be an option I added a "nobody" choice

I think it's safe to say we all win.

 

[Zing]

131 people seriously voted for Microsoft? Were we watching the same conference where they basically showed no games and preened themselves over the terrible failure that is Kinect for an hour.

 

[CriticalGriffin]

Nintendo.

'Nuff said. Like about billion posts ago.
