My E3 opinions
13 years ago
General
Microsoft: They overdid Kinect again! I think they've forgotten who actually spends time watching E3. It isn't the people who are interested in your Kinect gimmick, it's the people who want more games. Also, I hate Microsoft for already paying for earlier access to DLC for Tomb Raider and other games. I hate when they do that.
EA: I counted 3 social games from EA. Ugh. The whole thing was a resounding meh. Couldn't care less.
Ubisoft: We finally got some good stuff. I love what they are doing with Assassin's Creed 3. Also, the Wii U application for Rayman looks interesting. That and ZombiU shows a surprising amount of creativity from a big company. Lastly, I love that new IP, WatchDog, they showed at the very end. It's such an interesting concept and has the potential to be the next Assassin's Creed.
Sony: They did well. Looking forward to All-Stars and The Last of Us. The storybook thing took way too long, but they did well overall. The games once again stole the show.
Nintendo: Mixed opinions on Nintendo. I love how they try to innovate and improve upon gameplay. It shows a degree of creativity that is refreshing On the other hand, they haven't rally done anything new with there IPs in quite some time. All the stuff they show seems like glorified tech demos. Lastly, they should've done more with the 3DS and the Wii U. Moving that stuff to other events is a grave mistake. I'm concerned about the price point for the Wii U. That tablet looks expensive and Nintendo doesn't sell their tech at a loss. With Microsoft's new Smartglass, they might have shot themselves in the foot. They needed to shine and failed horribly.
Overall, I'm a disappointed. They all played it safe. I'm looking forward to many of the games announced (Dishonored, Hitman, Sly, Bioshock: Infinite, Playstation All-Stars, Tomb Raider, WatchDogs, The Last of Us, etc.), but that's despite the conferences, not because of them.
