Really, who really cares except for Microsoft fanboys? All they did was prove they are the same old Microsoft that I hate; They showed that they're going to turn Lionhead into a Fable factory just like they proved they made Bungie into Halo factory with Halo 3, and then they take Alan Wake away from me. Otherwise, nothing new. It was between Sony and Nintendo because most of their information was still hidden, and Sony messed up their chance. Nintendo all the way.
I thought that Nintendo had the best show, but, that said, I was still expecting more. Pricing, more release details...I don't know. The Nintendo Conference was just way too built up in my mind.....lots of speculation floating around, etc. On, anyone???!!! Oh well.
MS was second in my books and Sony a distant third....*&%$ing $600. That's outrageous, even for me.
Wow Raz, have you ever whored yourself so much? I don't want to be a hater but it's close to annoying, especially putting your link to a Halo 3 trailer thread with no new Halo 3 info. People have their own say/opinions/discussions without you having to link to new threads. Rather, just sum up the info at the very end.
That said, Nintendo is the most exciting in terms of in-game clips, celebrity showing, and innovation.
Edited: Having now finished watching the MS conference, it's Nintendo for sure.
For success as a corporation, Microsoft undoubtedly. It was one big "haha, we're winning and not really trying that hard this time either!" fest for them.
I've only seen the nintendo one but it was pretty cool. But the main guy doing the conference needed to loosen up. He had this look on his face like he was going to kick some ass if you don't buy a wii.
Nintendo. Easily the most fun. They are loose and calm about the whole thing. They know that they bring the most exciting possibilities to this "next-gen" and they are very happy to make everyone else happy in sharing that vision.
Sony should've showed more kick-ass franchises and also not charge so much for the system. :frown:
MS's "Live Anywhere" scares me--way too big brother for me thank you very much. And they should've shown more kickass games too.
Nintendo was definitely a fun presentation, although, the main presenter dude looked like he was angry half the time. The tennis game looked like fun to play.
The microsoft conference is my second pick. A lot of the features that they're adding to Xbox Live!/Vista look very interesting, and the videos for the games were cool and interesting. Gears of War looks like a sweet ass game. Even that Pinata game looked like it could be fun especially the way they will use that game with Live!.
The sony presentation was the most disappointing presentation. The presentation itself was bland and the videos and demos didn't seem exciting at all. The only few things that impressed me was Final Fantasy XIII and VS.XIII.(of course, you can always expect top notch graphics and visuals from SquareEnix) Also, the way they use the camera with that card game looked interesting. Imagine that card game demo with a game like Yugioh or Magic the Gathering.
