E3 Conferences: Who won?

[jwicklun]

Which of the three had the best presentation?

[heyjoshua]

Nintendo has Zelda, Kirby and Donkey Kong and they showed the 3DS. Xbox 360 and PS3 both went the Wii route and have motion sensing technology, the slim X360 looks cool though.

[secretsociety92]

Microsoft, Kinect looks to have great potential and GOW3 and Halo: Reach are looking great plus the new 360 looks sweet and should be great value for money.

[jwicklun]

Although Kinect looked cool, it had 0 games that interested me. Sony had some good surprises like Twisted Metal, but the conference just seemed to drag on.

[xHoodieWeather]

Nintendo wins, unlike last year Nintendo brought games that appealed to hardcore gamers unlike Microsoft that played it safe with yet anther Halo and the family friendly Kinect. Although kinect has some good stuff, i'd much rather stick with Zelda, Donkey Kong, Goldeneye, Metroid, Kirby, and even Kid Icarus.

[DooDooBird]

OMG! Donkey Kong Country Returns looks absolutely amazing. Watch the footage: http://wii.ign.com/articles/109/1098354p1.html

Zelda looks like a typical Zelda game. Which is good.

Nintendo > Microsoft > Sony

[koohyuko]

Nintendo. Revealing the new 3DS, AND a new Zelda game? Microsoft was second, with the 360 slim. Other than that, nothing too cool. Then there was Sony. And well, yeah. Both Sony and Microsoft are following Wii technology, now that they see the success of motion sensors.

[danman]

Anyone who voted for Microsoft or Sony obviously didn't see the Nintendo press conference - it clearly was far better.

[jwicklun]

I'm surprised Microsoft is second, seeing there was a severe lack of software during the show. They showed maybe 3 exclusive titles, and the rest was focused on Kinect, although, nothing swayed me to a "must buy."

[domotime2]

1. n64
2. ps2
3. SNES
4. sega genesis
5. nes
6. xbox
7. xbox360
8. wii

so based on the averages we see the winner here.

Other than Gears 3, Fable 3 & the new Xbox, Microsoft had a pretty shitty presser. The dashboard nav for Kinect was cool, but the terrible acting not being synced up with the pre-renders, kinda failed.

I didn't watch the Sony one because I had things to do but the highlights I heard was a price for Move, Gabe Newell being in need of getting punched in the dick, and Killzone coming in 3D.

I'm going with Nintendo, simply because the other two were so weak. I didn't watch this one because I'm just not that big on Nintendo anymore. The 3DS if it wasn't outed months beforehand, would've been amazing to be announced. Zelda I could care less about, but I know alot of people wanted it. Kirby's game with the clothlike art style looked sick. And Goldeneye, which I know everyone & their mothers wanted. Even though it'll have Craig and not the real Bond.

Sorry, but you have no clue if you think Kinect is like Wii. Kinect shits on the Wii as far as technology is concerned.

Read my first post correctly, I said sony and microsoft went the wii route with have motion sensing technology, which is true. I never said kinect isn't going to be good.

in terms of technology, yeah its better, but it has no games to be excited for. it's strictly casual, and probably will get a bunch of shovel ware just like the wii.

Probably, but 360 already has a sizable portion of the hardcore gamer crowd. This was made to go after the casual gamer that the Wii targeted and has the potential to do a better job at it. Good games will come with time. Not too worried about that.

[Lemmi!]

no one

[TJ Wells]

Nintendo easily, but Sony was far and away better than Microsoft.

[Neo Cassady]

Nintendo. DK is gonna be sweet.

[VeryWittyName]

Nintendo with Sony as a close second, and Microsoft far behind. I have a Wii and Xbox, and I'm strongly considering getting a PS3 after their showing.

[thesollopsist]

I love how nintendo pulled the old switcheroo from the casual market now that they know it's becoming slightly saturated, leaving microsoft and sony to both imitate. Not to say I'm not looking forward to Move

[Kiguel182]

Nintedo without a doubt. They had the best games, the best surprises and of course, the 3DS.
Sony spent way too much time with its wii rip off pretending that it was something new and Microsoft made a bland conferecence dispite all the cool stuff you can do with Kinect.

[lesto17]

Nintendo >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Sony > Microsoft

[billyboatkid]

Wii > Sony >>>>>>>>>>> Xbox

Wii won because of Donkey Kong Country Returns :)

[SpyKi]

Nintendo destroyed it this year. Sony didn't do too great and Microsoft's was just horrible.

[Charles777]

I'm a Xbox and MS fanboy, so I had to go with Microsoft.

But the possibilities are far more restricted for Kinect, while playing games without any kind of controller.
And I doubt that their will be good core-games that make use of Kinect+Xbox360 Controller (this combination doesnt make much sense to me).
I'm not a great fan of the Mario Kart Wheel, but playing racing-games by pretending of holding a steering wheel is the most boring thing I could imagine.
Of course, the technology itself is great though...

[frenchatticus]

Donkey Kong and 3DS win.

You obviously don't know what you're talking about because the possibilities with Kinect are far greater because of the fact that it is a true motion sensor unlike the Wii which can only sense motion using the controller. They could create a prop for a game just as the Wii does if they choose. The facial recognition allows it to recognize objects and incorporate them into gameplay.

I know how Kinect works, but still: Kinect doesnt make ANY existing genre better, just because it recognizes more movements, than the wiimote. Of course, its great for fitness-software and some mediocre minigames, but thats it. And I think it's a great advantage for Move and the Wii, that they also bring some buttons and a control stick into any game.
I dont see how the complete body-movement regonition of Kinect is "far greater" for any kind of games...

All you say is that the technology is different from the wii, but how does that make the gaming-experience any better?
Maybe there will be some kind of Adventure, that will make use of the whole technology, but what else?
Playing an action-shooter by pretending to hold a gun? How do you move in that kind of game? Walking on one spot? Thats mind-blowing... lol

[ibmx08]

deffinitely microsoft. if i had seen any more of kinect my mind would've melted, and its only going to get better, this is still the early stages of kinect. plus they have GOW3, halo reach, COD black ops looks 50/50 but its still cod, plus the new 360.

[handlikesecret]

shockingly enough, Nintendo.
