E3 2008

[ChaosBlade]

E3 is settling down now and lots of things was shown by the 3 major companies. I wonder what your thoughts about it were. I'm just gonna list some new news for each company. I may have forgotten some things and you can just tell me what I forgot so I may be able to update the list.

Microsoft= GoW 2, Fable 2, lots of multimedia downloads, New interface, Avatars, approaching the casual market, FFXIII.
Nintendo= Animal Crossing, Wii Speak (voice chat), MotionPlus, Wii Sports Resort, Wii Music, Confirmed (some mostly) franchises worked on
Sony= Resistance 2 and for PSP, Killzone 3, Little Big Planet, new SKU 80GB $399, God of War III, MAG, DC Universe Online

I believe Microsoft got the best conference out of the three. The fact that they had lots of new things announced, especially FF in the console which was the megaton. Though they copied a bit with the Mii-like avatars, at least they gave new things that shall maybe add value to the console that's 3 years old now. Sony's conference was boring in my opinion, especially the talk of the past about PS1 and etc, but it still showed off more new things than Nintendo. The new software is interesting, especially the reaction for God of War III. Nintendo was ok, but it's lacked of new announcements kinda disappointed me. Sure MotionPlus and WiiSpeak are nice, but it was focused a lot more on the casual side. Thankfully Miyamoto confirmed, or at least hinted at new franchise games like Mario, Zelda, etc.

Nintendo's conference SUCKED. I really have given up on them. Wiispeak sucks, not many people care about this animal crossing, which looks like an exact copy of the DS version in all ways with an added city, and they didn't even announce Galaxy 2, Pikmin Wii, or the new Zelda in the press conference. Duh nintendo? They are riding this casual wave higher and higher. Its not good for us gamers...

They didn't announce those games, but Miyamoto said they exist in interviews not in the conference. I might actually get a 360 in the future when it goes $200 because of games. Wii gets tons of crap, but I still believe
