So, anyone else watching this? If you are, discuss your opinion about all of the presentations here.
So far, Microsoft has wowed a lot of people, but hopefully they can actually carry out their promises and not be like Sony last year where they had the best presentation but barely did ANY of the things they said they were gonna do.
And BioWare...sweet Jesus. I might be buying all of their games, especially Mass Effect 2 and Dragon Age: Origins.
Tomorrow is supposed to be Nintendo and Sony's turn. My little brothers and I are hoping that Nintendo finally decides to bring the Mother trilogy over to America.

The Star Wars trailer was epic. I really hope they can pull off the Project Milo thing too!

Rock band beatles? Who cares. I can't believe they started it off with that crap.
Milo is just Peter promising the world, yet again, on a new tech (Black and white/fable all over again).
I really don't like the shift to motion sensing controllers. Can't stand that stuff (And you could tell from the demos they gave that it performs pretty bad still).
The star wars trailer looked good, but it's an MMO TRAILER. Gameplay is going to look nothing like that, I bet.
I was very pissed off about l4d2, especially since the first one's sdk isn't fully completed yet. That's completely ignoring the fact that everything announced about it can be done in l4d1.
Was never a fan of the final fantasy series, doesn't look like 13 is going to interest me either.
Metal gear solid 5 (or whatever it's named). Raiden? Really? It feels like hideo kojima just took a dump on my chest or something.
Call of duty modern warfare 2 looks way over the top, but I don't really like the COD series too much anyway, so whatever.
Crackdown 2 is probably my favourite thing "shown". I say "shown" because it was only pre-rendered footage, and didn't show any gameplay.
I was really hoping EA would bust out their old IP's and cover remakes to classics like crusader, dungeon keeper, syndicate, populous, magic carpet, and others. Or at least announced plans to cut back on the intrusive DRM, which would certainly help with the image change they oh so desperately desire. But hey, as least they told me I can stalk kids in my little petshop online, right?
Just random thoughts I had watching it, but it's definately the worst E3 yet, in my opinion.
Mass Effect 2 looks pretty good... i dunno. dont play much games
ahh. assassin's creed 2 also looks ok

Conquestor, you must have not been though many E3 events if you think that this year is the worst one yet after only 1 DAY. 🤣

Eh. I went a bunch of times when it was open to the public. I watched all the trailers that came out of the others. Ubi, EA, and Microsoft all had an awful showing. I just watched nintendo's and it wasn't much better.

So, this E3 tuns out to be like last year: Sony has the best presentation, Microsoft come in second, while Nintendo limps along in last place. Which is pretty sad seeing how developers like EA and Ubisoft were there for the first time and they were better...

Well... what can anyone say? Nintendo hasn't failed to disappoint.

I heard somewhere that the WII that its starting to lose popularity. If the WII doesn't get more hardcore gamers I don't know whats going to happen to Nintendo.
