E3 is herrreeee!!!!!!!! During this most glorious week for gamers everywhere I thought it'd be cool to have a lil topic thingy where you can post your opinions on stuff happening at E3. Games, press conferences, trialers, what you like hate, want more of etc.
EDIT: Poll now here! (Waited until the end of E3 to post it)

I thought it was funny how before Nintendo's media coverage started Adam and whts-his-name discussing how Nintendo needed to adress the issue of whether or not the Wii is a fad. And Nintendo spent a lot of time trying to prove they're not. Anyhow, I liked how Nitendo showed the various new play thinks like the wiipad, zapper, and talked about the wiiwheel thingy. I thought the zapper was cool and am ust giddy with inticipation about playing fps-s with it! However, I wanted more titles from Nintendo, I felt Reggie talked too much about how 'everyone's a gamer'. It was cool how they showed the success of the wii and all but they didn't showcase enopugh games in my opinion. And when he mentioned how the wii's been showed out every week since it's release I yelled at the tv since they only stock stores with wii's once a month. (Stores like gamestop only get 3 per month while stores like Walmart & Bestbuy get about 8 or 10 per month, I forget. So it's hard to find them because of that.)
I thought SOny did really well. They continously showcased various games for the psp & PS3, showed how their improving Home, and announced other software and the like. Killzone 2 was amazing!!! I can't wait for it. Assains Creed, Heavenly Sword, MGS4, Call of Duty 4...they all looked fantastic. inFamous looks cool, and that one puzzel game...not much graphics but it looks fantastic. Gah I'm having a brain fart with the name....echo____ (someone fill that in for me pls!!!!) That game looks cool, even with lack of graphics.
I was not impressed with the new PSP slim cause I use mine for games and games alone. I recharge the battery every night so the longer battery life thing isn't a big deal to me. My psp feels and looks fine, I don't care that the new one is 33% lighter, 19% slimmer and can hook up to the tv and brodcast the images from ur psp to the said tv. Plus icy silver just doesn't look right to me on the psp. Smexy piano black just works in my opinion.
I only saw the highlights of Microsoft, but I have to say I'm not impressed with the Halo 3 trailer. I've heared they just talked about stuff from this past year and other topics that we already know about.
I think Sony did much better than Nitendo. Nitendo did good in my opinion, and left me really wanting the wii, but I felt they just talked about statistics too much. Sony kept talking about games and Home and other announcements.

 I enjoyed Microsofts presentation. I am so looking forward to Assassins Creed. Nintendo did ok. I'm a sucker for Mario Kart. I wasen't really impressed with Sony. Again, yay for Assassins Creed. Heveanly Sword looks great.

I wasn't impressed with Sony either. Only game that interested me was Assassin's Creed, which I can get for the 360. All the other games.. eh. And their "silver" psp looked more white to me.. like everything else now. Even with the price dropped $100 and Gamestop giving away 5 blu-ray dvds if you buy it from them.. still have no interest in it.
Microsoft only talked about all their new games for Xbox live arcade and Halo 3. Yippy.. Only caught the end of that way so I didn't see what else they had to say.
Only caught the end of Nintendo's too. They finally announced the date for Super Mario Galaxy (Nov 12th) and SSBB (Dec 3rd). That was enough for me to be happy with. The new "WiiFit" looked interesting though. lol was funny watching Reggie and Miyamoto play against each other too.

Jeriwen Wasn't E3 a great deal smaller this year? E3 was smaller this year, but that's because it was only open to the press. I didn't really like it that way. Sure, I haven't been to E3, yet, but it's my goal to get there! I mean, it was probably easier to explain things without thousands of people yelling, but I miss seeing the mayhem of gamers going through, playing games, and getting cool free stuff.

We're the one's who'll actually buy the blasted things. Mind I can understand how just having the gaming press in there makes things easier or whatever, but still! Gamers should be allowed in my opinion.

I was disappointed the us gamers weren't allowed in this year, but I can understand why they choose to do it that way.
I was impressed by both Nintendo and Sony, but was unimpressed by Microsoft, but then, I've always been unimpressed by them as far as the console system goes. The only reason I would want a 360 would be for Halo 3, but I doubt it'll happen since the bf doesn't want one. I really like the fact that Nintendo is getting in on the fitnessthing. I think it's a great idea to use video games for fitness. I happen to be one of those people who needs to be stimulated and challenged with things, so having the Wii Fitness is a good thing. But then I could just do the normal thing and get a Wii and play Twilight Princess. xd I had a friend that lost weight playing that!
I really liked what I saw for the new games coming out for both the PS3 and PSP, but was unhappy that they didn't discuss 13 more. I'm a huge FF fan and would love to have heard more info about the main game instead of the side ones and the Tactics for PSP. As for the slim PSP, I like the idea of it, but the bf and I can get by on his original one.

I was only interested in Sony so that's all I watched. It was entertaing too! HOME looks great, and it was a cool idea to use it in their presentation. ^-^ I did try to watch a bit of the Nintendo conference too but they bored me with their sales figures and pies. Blegh.

All i know is that this cycle of consoles better last for at least 10 or even 20 years How long did the ps2 xbox and gamecube last for ? 5years or more
The Wii the playstation 3 and X box 360 together is worth almost 1000 dollars how much will next gen cost?
