Really, No conference was good...

Microsoft fascinated with ways to distract you from your game or what you are trying to watch with stupid ipad/device messages popups... Still hopelessly trying to force Kinect down your throat.... Showing off Internet explorer on xbox?!? Oh shit, you don't have to worry about Red Ring of death now, Its IE thats going to kill it. Oh and how could i not say the signer guy, basically them announcing "WE HAVE NO GAMES, SO HOPEFULLY THIS WILL MAKE UP FOR IT!".

When will thy just admit that xbox isnt a gaming console any-more.

EA... First thing they say is "DLC IS GOOD", When you used to buy games "You owned them" not any-more. They had nothing good to show either, just cod clones and more "cinematic" games that are basically quick time events the whole way. Oh and they also ruined Dead space with a co-op campaign and Crysis 3 with its mostly linear shit and crossbow helicopter kills! Not possible due to helicopter glass being rated for bird strikes at a hundred + miles an hour!

Sony, Again with Microsoft they where trying to force Move on you like cancer. Saying more "free" games... When you pay for our service, so that ISN'T free! Wonderbook, showing that books can become even more boring, and now BUGGY TOO! Along with vita stuff no one cares about with stupid DlC packs that make the game worse for other people and look shit on PS3. The only good thing out of them was God of war... (I'm not saying last of us since its just another fucking zombie game, over done crap now days)... But that new game from Heavy rain people looked ok too, But then again its just a trailer so far.

Nintendo... 4 Mario games in one conference... 8 Mario games have come out since 3DS launch, So I mean... When will they learn they over do a series? also all the other games they showed off where either remakes or just total shit based on content from other games. What they shows on WII u for its features was just total crap.

Ubisoft... Trying to be the funny guy in a room full of reporters and business people again and again did not go well atall. Tobuscus was the main point of annoyance as-well as the dancing again at the beginning, Like that hasn't been over done. But the reason i left Ubisoft till last is because, Yes they had a really bad conference but they made up for it mostly with a few good demos and games... Far cry 3, Assassins creed 3 and of course Watch Dogs, that surprise announcement really made up for the whole thing, They have shown something that looks original that can be great and of course ITS RUNNING ON PC! Ubisoft had the best games in the conferences as they mostly always do. But still bad choice of presenters.

I really hope that these games get attention from reporters and live walk arounds (even though they come from console orientated sites):

  • Arma 3
  • Watch dogs
  • What ever valve has got
  • Assassins creed 3
  • Far cry 3
  • Dishonored
  • SimCity
  • Hitman Absolution
  • The Testament of Sherlock Holmes
  • Dark Souls PC
  • South Park: The Stick of Truth
  • XCOM: Enemy Unknown

Anything else people want to add?

TL:DR: Conferences sucked, all gave out shit. ubi only came through with good games and a GREAT announcement of watch dogs... READ THIS THING YOU LAZY PEOPLE!

yeah, it did suck, although Nintendo did marginally better (Pikmin 3, ZombiU, and that Project P-100 stuff on Spike TV looked great). I was hoping Nintendo would reveal some details about Wii U, like setting the record of how powerful the system really is, or what the price is, or getting more first party games for launch titles (I was really hoping for a new Metroid...)

Ah well, I'll still get the Wii U either way, just because I'd hate myself when a new Zelda in 1080p rolls around and I couldn't play it.

Edit: Oh, and Paper Mario and Luigi's Mansion 2. Those games just made the 3ds a bit more praiseworthy.

PAX is generally pretty heavy on the PC side at times. More so than E3 at least.

PC Gamer imagined this sweet dream for us. I really hope something like that would happen (maybe except the Notch part, because I think games programmed in Java should be banished from the surface of the Earth, but that's just me).

Yeah, they never really showcase many things during E3, but at least they announced Retro City Rampage (kind of) for PS Vita, but I already knew that anyways.

They should mention more RPG's like Persona 4, maybe some Tales translations (I did hear that a new Tales of Xillia was coming out) :X, well that's just me.

I only had time to briefly run through most of the trailers. I got the feeling the games this year look worse (or not better at best) than in previous years. Graphics is not the alpha and omega of gaming industry, but it is in the case of todays AAA titles.
Worse graphics + same game mechanics = worse games.

So in brief - I agree with you totally.

EDIT: Looks like only the new IPs have really neat graphics (ie. great innovation in terms of both graphics and hopefully gameplay). On the other hand all those "new" parts in the series are anything BUT innovative (in any meaningful way). Sad fact.

Nice summary. I got just one correction: you never owned the games you bought - ever.

The problem with mandatory online interaction (Ubi-protection, Diablo 3 etc.) has nothing to do with the ownership. It's just a new thing commonly incorporated in ToS, licences and so on.

For those who thought the conferences were bad, I hope you are watching the Namco Bandai live stream here.
It's so terrible it makes everything else look awesome in comparison.

unfortunately, Very unlikely. R* havn't been to an E3 snce 05 and have shown no games since then. Only GTA4 got shown there due to it being shown off by Microsoft so they can say "Oh look its an xbox exclusive"

E3, kinda was super boring...nothing really new was shown. Only stuff I cared where watch Dogs, Last of us(but nothing really new) and Star wars 1313 (and that only because it looks nice)

Hope the last bit of E3 is better.

Yep, Really boring. No conferences, even the smaller ones that aren't on main cams went bad. Walk around aren't really going well as well... Always being bugged to visit crap games like CoD... Only good game they visited was ARMA3.

I "loaded up" a live stream of E3 when it was Sony's turn. Saw this "wonderbook", then just turned it off. Why would they want people to open up a blank book and stare at the TV?

E3 has always been about consoles, handhelds and all the weird stuff like dancing games and so on.

They clearly have no ideia which demographic watches E3. Seriously, just drop the rappers and the dance games, nobody cares!

but we have a LOT of assasins creeds... wthat was great, we have Asscreed 3 - captain america begins, Assasins creed Black ops (also called "splinter cell blacklist")
also we had uncharted 4 - starring non-british lara croft
Nintendo present the Wii U with a power comparable to a PS3 or Xbox 360...
and EA says something great about games... or money... or something...
