Each one only had one game i didn't allready know about, Nintendo had Animal Crossing, the only thing new from Microsoft is that Final Fantasy 13 will be on 360, and the only big thing from Sony was God of War 3.
Overall dissapointing, also Smash wasn't suppost to get announced at the last E3 but it came out by mistake so they had to, don't expect the same thing to happen again this time.

Oh and don't get to excited about new Mario games, there are alot of rumors that there are just working on the usual Sport/Party games they allways release with them.

I may have to convert from a Nintendo fanboy to a Microsoft fanboy. The Microsoft conference blew the other two out of the water. =x Fable 2, Fallout 3, Rock Band 2, The Last Remnant, Infinite Undiscovery, Finaly Fantasy XIII, and Tales of Vesperia. <3

According to the news, Nintendo will be holding a private conference today, where a new game could be unveiled. I'm seriously hoping so.
Rumours keep talking about Kid Icarus...

I was hoping for a new Wii Zelda game, but E3 isn't entirely over yet... The new Wii Sports looks fun, and I NEED that new Animal Crossing!

But Microsoft definitely had the best conference: Fallout 3, Fable 2, and Gears 2 are all amazing. Though the avatars are just fancy Miis...

Sony was a bit of a disappointment, just talking about figures the entire time, and few demos were played.

Also, who else watched it in G4? They have the exclusive TV coverage of E3. And after the Microsoft conference, we got to see more of Fallout 3. As in, using a rocket launcher made of a wood-chipper and leaf-blower to launch teddy bears at someone, and actually kill them O_o...

I can't wait 'til 6 to see more of E3 on G4 lol.
"pps new screenie" - No, really shut up yuoaman.

Haaave you read my LP?
Pokémon Quartz - The only one of mine really worth reading.

What about my [Un]Abridged series?

No mentions of the Sony conference? D:

Resistance 2 looks amazing. <3 MAG is an interesting concept as well, but 256 players? I'll be surprised if they can pull off 50. It also has a long way to go until prime time, so I won't be looking into this much. Aside from the video service, Sony didn't really promise much else for 2008. They needed to show some God of War 3 gameplay, a CG teaser is weak. My favourite part was when they talked at length about how "2008 is the year of the PS3." Before mentioning a new game or service, they started discussing on how great the PS2 was doing this year. What they said is an easy claim to make though, considering how 2008 is half over and previously announced games are starting to hit for the holidays.

Microsoft did well, with a new Live interface, and a game announcement that not everyone was expecting. That Fallout 3 trailer looked awesome, too. They're also noteworthy for not showing their titles for 2009-10, so we still have more things to look forward to later on.

Nintendo was by far the worst, in my opinion. A completely uninspiring and dull conference. It doesn't matter though, since they’re well on their way of being this generation's winner on what works for them best. They do their standard few new platformers and generational releases, and their several worthless add-ons. However with their fanbase, they'll win by not screwing up. The casual gaming market is serious business. :<

If you're interested in my FULL thoughts on all three conferences, hit up my LJ. There's a bit of colourful language, though, so I'll just summarize it here. XD

Microsoft → Best conference of the bunch. It was flashy, entertaining, and their statistics section was the shortest. Fallout 3 looks great, though I probably won't get it. RE5 looks good too, but I haven't touched that series before. Fable II looks amazing--I'm definitely picking that up, though I'd also like to find the original and play it. GoW2 looks nice but I have to see if I can get into the first one first. Banjo Kazooie on XBLA was surprising, but I suck at the original so I doubt I'll pick up this series. (Ask TRIFORCE89, I really do suck.) The more casual stuff... GH:WT looks okay but lame compared to RB2, which I'll probably be picking up this year. Lips is intriguing but I can't sing so... oh well. :( New dashboard looks LAME. I really hope it's very customisable. But I'm looking forward to the other additions. Live parties, movie sharing, gameshows? I'm there! :'D Avatars were expected. XD You're In The Movies was surprisingly added to my wishlist too. I was laughing at the final movie they showed off with the three actors or whatever and... it looks like a fun game to play with the family. Finally, the SE games look good. I'll probably end up getting a few of them, but I don't know what console yet. Probably at least one on 360 because I'll be picking up the XIII games on PS3 (that announcement really surprised me!).

Nintendo → LAAAAAAAAAAME. Worst conference of the bunch. I was thorougly bored through the whole thing. The only worthwhile announcement was Animal Crossing and I don't even play that series. But yeah, see my original post in this thread for individual game opinions. :/ Cammie or whoever it was who hosted this one was just... augh. Do not want. D: Mind you, I didn't even like Reggie's performance this year so whatever.

Sony → While I didn't actually get anything from this conference, it was still better than Nintendo's. Not that that's hard. XD; Resistance 2 looks REALLY good. @[email protected] But I suck at games like that and I proooobably won't play it, so I'll just buy it and watch my brother play. Whoo. :'D Aside from that, nothing really jumps out at me. I loved how they showed off their stats and numbers with Little Big Planet though. That was great. ♥ The movie delivery/downloads thing looks pretty sweet, but I'm not sure about it yet. I guess I'll see when I'm back to my PS3 at home. Not much else to say on it though. D:

Dunno what Nintendo's supposed to be announcing today. Whatever it is, I hope they get on with it and give us something interesting to work with. :/ Not that I'll be interested in what they have unless it's a major, major franchise and even then... I haven't been impressed at ALL yet this generation with them (except Brawl). @[email protected]

Pikmin 3. I'm sure that's great but I haven't played the others. :/ As far as I know it was practically an afterthought in the conference, since the rest of it was talking about Wii Music and Wii Sports Resort. I just got back online after a while though so maybe I just haven't caught up fully. *shrug*
