Poll: who won at E3?

[Devi Darkside]

Nintendo did the best but I'm not sure I could say that they "won". All they have going for them is another DS and remakes.

Then again Sony and Microsoft have...Motion controls... *Sighs*

 

[PhunkyPhazon]

I'd say Nintendo, but I'm still mad about having to buy another damn DS right after I got this DSi.

That is exactly why I've been refusing to get a new DS despite really needing a replacement for my old one. There was no way I was going to get a DSi when it seemed so likely a new system was coming out, and I'm glad I waited.

I guess I can't say for sure who won. I don't care about Microsoft's conference on account of me not having or wanting a 360, and I haven't really clicked around for news from Sony. But Nintendo showed off the 3DS and announced a bajillion new games that have me in ecstasy.

Nintendo, you have officially redeemed yourself (In my eyes) from that boring-ass conference of yours in 2008. I'll look at Sony's stuff later to see what they brought to the table.

Nintendo won, followed by Microsoft, then Sony.

Nintendo-again making a leap, especially when Sony thought they had the 3Dness in the bag. Who on earth would want to wear those stupid glasses in the light? It's fine for movie theatres. They're dark.

Microsoft: A little too late in the "competition" to be releasing motion gaming, at least they came out with one that A) has no controller and B)Isn't simply a recreation of an already failed technology (looking at you, Eyetoy bullcrap)

Sony: "Our controller has buttons!"
I...uh...the wiimote has buttons too.
"Our controller has a big blue ball!"
Yes, and is now the primary source of a new wave of genital jokes.

Nobody won. E3 Was a disappointing mess.

 

[MarsProbe]

Well, I have only really checked up on Microsofts effort, which did leave me slightly underwhelmed. As has been said, most of their event focussed on Kinect and all the wonderful new "social" things you would be able to do with it.

I was amused by the rather subdued cheers from the crowd when it was announced all CoD Black Ops DLC would be initially exclusive to the 360. Perhaps not the major coup they were hoping for.

Still, at least there was a brief demo of Gears 3 (which may or may not have looked less grey than one would have expected) but it was Child of Eden that I really liked the look of (I'm sure I heard some Genki Rockets in there), whatever it may be.

I wouldn't mind having one of the new 360s, provided I can at least part trade in my old one. I wouldn't be willing to pay £200 for a slightly shinier version of something I already own...

A fellow golden suner!

I don't know much about Nintendo IP, but if Kirby, Kid Icarus, Donkey Kong, and the likes are supposed to be some of their best, than they defiitely won, at least they announced something surprising to the fans of these, unlike Sony, who just listed multiplatform games on the basis that they will have 2 exclusively downloadable hats for them.

 

[TK421]

I'm gonna have to give it to Nintendo. Cause they showed, you know, games.

 

[Rayansaki]

Hideo Kojima won at E3. Now I can finally slice a fellow man into slick stakes and a couple vegetables to garnish, and have a barbecue party.

 

[Prvt.Church]

The only thing that MS had was Bulletstorm. Nintendo took it, especially with the Goldeneye remake.

I was okay with Nintendo but the remake of which you speak being named an exclusive to the wII killed any love I had for Nintendo. I whole heartedly hope all involved with that decision die in a fire.

I disagree. Goldeneye was a Nintendo exclusive originally and I can see ABSOLUTELY NO reason why they would allow Acti to make it multi-platform. Plus it give those hardcore gamers who dont own a Wii a reason to get one.

 

[awsome117]

I'm gonna have to give it to Nintendo. Cause they showed, you know, games.

But how many of those games stood out? Two or three really. And I voted for Nintendo, but they might as well have just shown the 3DS as it was the only thing that was really interesting.

 

[Epicator]

I couldnt decide between playstation and nintendo. (tho being a ps3 owner i had to vote for my system)

Nintendos lineup of new games looked amazing. New DK = amazing. And although i have always hated the DS the 3DS looks great. I may actually have to invest in a handheld. Nintendo had hands down the best overall lineup of new games, loved that, and honestly the best new hardware. (360 slim looks weird to me and i cant say if i like it or not until i know how if they fixed the RROD, id laugh my ass off if the new system still has that problem)

Sony had i thought the best presentation though. I was laughing throughout the majority of the show. KB is fucking epic. The move actually looks pretty fun, ill have to try it out for my self when it comes out but it looks promising. And they got Portal2, Infamous 2, LBP2 and Twisted Metal (which i definitely jizzed my pants about) so they have a decent line up as well.

Overall PS3 and Nintendo = win
MS = fail (fuck kinect)

3DS
that made nintendo win
and it was an EPIC WIN

 

[Buzz3092]

There wasn't really a winner at E3 this year as far as the console creators go. Nintendo had a solid line-up of games with nostalgia-appeal but that's not winnging, it's coasting on past achievements and dressing them up modernly. Microsoft didn't have much besides that Kinect and that looks like a bomb waiting to blow Microsoft's funds to pieces. Sony was almost as bad, the only amazing thing that came from that was the new Twisted Metal. Everything else was expected and/or unappealing. If I have to decide, I'd say that the third party developers won this year with games ranging from the action of Dead Space 2 and Medal of Honor to the casual gameplay of the new Rabbids game.

 

[IamQ]

For the moment, nintendo. I couldn't watch Sony's because I wasn't near a computer at the time. Microsoft's was too cheesy, what with that dialog between the two girls with Natal (yes, Natal, not Kinect, I refuse to use that name). I also hated the little kid with that tiger. It was too cutsey wutsey, and if you look closley, the hands on the screen petting the tiger, don't resemble the little girl's movements at all.

Nintendo had the most entertaining conference for me. I enjoyed having Miamoto himself showing us the new Zelda game, and that little entrance he did made me smile a little.
Also, nintendo announced the most games out of the three of them.

 

[Weaver]

... and they had Kevin Butler give an awesome speech about GAMING! XD

So I'm supposed to be excited for a series I don't care about and some guy from an ad campaign that didn't even run in my country?

Those aired (and still do) in Canada.

The latest is for ModNation racers I think.

Well, if they've bee on TV in the last 5 years I haven't seen them as I don't have cable

 

[UkibyTheMaid]

Nintendo.

And I'm not saying that because I like the Nintendo franchise. Lçetely, I've been playign a bunch of games from both Sony and Microsoft, since I have a PS3 and a XBox 360 and the games are all grand...

But in this edition of E3 they really didn't show any game I really got 'interested into'. I mean, I have almost 10 PS3 games. It isn't like I 'don't care' about the games. I do care about them and enjoy them a lot.

But a new BIG Kirby game and the promise to play my favorite MGS on a 3D handheld? Hell yeah Nintendo! You won my heart, yet again!

Also, Okamiden. Fuc***** Okamiden. And Epic Mickey.

 

[HarmanSmith]

Nintendo is remaking Ocarina of Time for 3DS. Automatic win.
