Who do you think had the strongest presentation at E3? Well here are my views:
Microsoft: Honestly, too many multiplatform and casual games. The announcement of the Halo 1 remake and Halo 4 made me skeptical since Bungie isn't developing either. No new hardware either. About the only relatively cool thing was the new additions to the dashboard but honestly, that's about it. Weak.
Sony: Surprised me. Of course they did apologize for the recent hacking events, but then they just showed a bunch of first party titles and even their new handheld, Playstation Vita. The Vita impressed me and so did a lot of things that was shown at Sony's confrence. Not bad Sony, not bad at all.
Nintendo: Like last year, stole the show. However I think they did better than last year since they took the chance and shown off even more 3DS games. Of course the biggest announcement was the Nintendo WiiU, which BEGS for a better name but it is a beast of a console to say the least. Plus they now have the third party support they desperately needed making making Nintendo come out on top.

"Vita" just sounds weird, they shoulda just called it the PSP2 & called it a day. but whateva, i'll just be calling it the PSV i guess. I'll prolly get one, since I already bought a 3DS so might as well have some comp in the household lol. But honestly, it shoulda been released a year or 2 ago instead of even bothering with the PSP-GO bomb.
Microsoft's presentation didn't do much to impress me.
The Wii U seems interesting but that tablet-esque controller looks a tad excessive (as is the case with most devices nowadays anyway). I don't play my Wii anymore so i'm not terribly interested in the backwards compatibility with prior peripherals. The graphics look excellent, though, and it loox like the games will be pretty fun. Can't wait to get Super Mario 3DS, Mario Kart, Smash Bros. & Zelda

Sony did a bang up job apologizing for the PSN fiasco. The Vita is impressive and for only $249-$299, that's a steal considering what's in it and I want Uncharted 3 so bad.
Microsoft's presser was straight assballs.
Nintendo confused the hell out of me(and everyone else) with the Wii U but since I just saw a recent interview with Reggie it seems that the Wii U got's something up it's sleeves.
Overall this E3 was lackluster imo, nothing new and too much focus on gimmicks like 3D and Motion control.
Bonus disappointment: Ninja Gaiden 3, WHAT THE FUCK HAVE THEY DONE TO YOU NINJA GAIDEN!?

I don't know. My mind was recently violated by a Dark Priest...

They shat on it and failed to pay Itagaki for a real game. But I'm not worried... Devil's Third is gonna show up at TGS!

The answer to this question is "not Konami."

did you see this?
Wii U - Legend of Zelda tech-demo (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sdn2YOKP9RU#ws)
I think the controller looks cool in this vid.

I actually like the ZOE and MGS HD collection, Castlevania is pretty much dead anyway

Take as much as you want Nintendo, if you give us Zelda game like this(or like Wind Waker) then all my life savings will be yours.

It's hard to say, I love all the stuff Sony had to show, but Nintendo and the WiiU is pretty awesome too, I just wish they could have shown more games for it.
-
The Vita impressed me
Same here. I was very surprised they set the price at $249.00. That was the same as the PSP, right? I think they're probably making these things for a loss. That doesn't seem to be a very sound business strategy, but given the shaky economy, it makes more sense to keep it quite affordable. I imagine they can recoup their losses elsewhere. Still, I'm definitely looking forwards to the Vita.

looks like another cramp machine, pass.

From what I saw on ScrewAttack, I'd say Nintendo, for bringing out their new console and 3DS titles.
Sony and Microsoft didn't show too many interesting titles, Kinect and PSVita were their only highlights for me [well, if you count Harmony of Despair being announced for PSN a highlight, that is.]
One thing though, WiiU looks terrifying.
-
Controller looks like it's bigger than the system.

It looks mutated, doesn't it?
-
Apparently the WiiU will be as big as an Xbox and the controller looks maybe a little bigger than an ipad so its probably not bigger than the system.
-
Sony and M$ were too underwhelming that even the lackluster Nintendo conference kicked them both. The WiiU announcement is the most anticlimatic announcement I've seen for a "big" console EVER and its announced library consists of games that will be in already established platfforms and like.. one year earlier. I'm not too sold, but I think Ninty's conference was more fan-directed, even if it was unsurprising, it deserves some kudos for that.

There are WAYYYY too many FPS games coming out. The lack of a Japanese aesthetic in video games and the cost of dev time is really showing now. Sony's PSVita is intriguing, but I don't see it generating enough desirable games. Nintendo put on a good show, though not exactly stellar. However, I'm noticing that Nintendo is making strange choices lately. They're either putting games on the wrong systems (Luigi's Mansion and Pilot Wings should have been for Wii, as should have the after-show talked about Pikmin 3), and the Mario games are missing the point. Why have the Tanooki suit if you can't fly with it? And why are the levels less open than Mario 64/64DS? And also, why is Kid Icarus Uprising mostly an on-rails shooter? (This is something that could have been a big Wii game if done more ambitiously).
Anyway, Skyward Sword looks very promising in its gameplay, despite the somewhat questionable visual aesthetic (I preferred the WiiU demo Zelda's art direction). Elswhere, Rayman Origins looks excellent, but I'm just not a fan of the Rayman world, so it doesn't do too much for me. The new Kirby for Wii seems too little too late. I'm rambling...
Not trying to sound negative. I was intrigued by a lot of stuff, but it seems that all three systems are making odd choices and are struggling to find a consistent tone. Nintendo is the closest, but again, their recent scatterbrained approach to releases in the market is concerning to me.

Vita won the conference for me. I don't see why I would want to get a 3DS right now excluding the first party titles.
This shit is doing everything right: No region lock, dual analogs, better third support, great lauch line-up (with some innovative games to boot), cross-chat, better online model, cross-play games, multitouch, gyros... If it's really suscesfull, I can't see why western thirds would not want to develop for this (because the cost is about the same as the PSP as said in interviews). For Japan, I already expect it to be a blast there, specially if they can make Capcom release a new Monster Hunter title for launch or almost next next to it's launch.
The only thing I'm seeing wrong in this the name.
-
I think that with everything I saw I'm most excited for is Uncharted 3, which wasn't a surprise at E3, and the MGS collection, which have two games I've played before

Yeah... I think they should have waited for some more substantial things to get started for it before showing it off. And was the Wii really doing so badly that it needed an upgrade already? (Don't know honestly)

Before the E3 they said that the rumors forced them to show it early
