Ahahahahahhaha
AHAHAHAHHAHAHA
AHAHHAAHAHAHAHAHAHA
What the actual SMURF was that even supposed to be I don't even
Loads of brand new stuff being shown off by all kinds of developers. Square-Enix come out!
...Agni's Philosophy again. God dammit, SE.
Bow before the mighty Javoo!
@Loony Bob,
They promised a new FF for E3 :P
Killzone, Infamous, Diablo 3, Watch Dogs, Destiny, etc. Absolutely stunning.
I paid attention to all the technical stuff, but boy was I kicking when the games were shown.

No, there was nothing new there. There was cars, FPS games, sequels, "LOOK AT ALL THESE POLYGOMS" immediately followed by "smurf POLOGONS" (nice coordinated message there Sony), and then "This game totally isn't about puzzles" followed by a game apparently entirely about puzzles. Also I guess the one singular Blizzard game that wouldn't have been a game-changer right here.
What they didn't have: The console itself, a release date, a price point, or any meaningful exclusives.
They must be laughing their asses off/breathing a huge sigh of relief in Redmond right now. I had sincerely hoped the PS3 was an aberration and Sony would get back on form here but wow, I don't think I've got any interest in the thing at all now.
Best moment was "Here's a dude to announce Final Fantasy trout!" and he just said "Yeah watch E3 guys!" I was admittedly hugely amused by that.
RIP in peace Sony.
Nintendo did not release a price point or release date for the Wii U at E3 2011. Even at E3 2012, they didnt have a firm release date. When the 360 was announced Price and Release date was also absent from their first debut.Originally Posted by I'm my own MILF
You're taking this high stance of FPS's and polygons. Well you'll be in for a surprise at the 720 reveal. Killzone and Infamous are meaningful exclusives. Microsoft doesn't have the bredth of first party studios that Sony has, so the 720 reveal will probably have less exclusives and more MULTIPLATFORM 3rd PARTY GAMES. You'll probably see the other heavy hitters like Uncharted 4, Gran Turismo, etc. at E3!
And you should probably know what RIP stands for by now.

Killzone and Watch Dogs gameplay looked bananas. Really glad to hear about the social features, they're like everything I wish Steam's community features were. The only thing is, will all that really catch on? I got 45 Steam friends, some of which are a few of you here, and I'm the only one posting screenshots and such. Still, it was cool to see the early games like Killzone and DriveClub feature how those social aspects will be used in-game.
Obviously the hypercritical folks will be all over that long stretch of the conference which were no games being shown, David Cage talking, the strange media molecule montage, and an old Square Enix trailer. I'm not really sure why they did that.
As far as surprises, I'm not sure which was more unexpected: Blizzard announcing a partnership with Sony, Bungie creating exclusive content for the system, or Jonathan Blow finally coming out of hiding with The Witness as an exclusive. I never would've expected any of those three things to happen, especially since it seemed like Blizzard was leaning towards Xbox. Still, Diablo III being all they announced is disappointing. Been there, beat it almost a year ago, it's fun, but I only pick it up every now and then. Project Titan would have been more appropriate for the occasion.
Still not sure if this will be able to pull me off of Steam at launch, but it's a good first step towards bringing me back to console gaming. It certainly was a good appetizer for E3.
(SPOILER)that's the joke
Yeah and funny enough I thought Nintendo's WiiU stuff was all massively underwhelming and misjudged as well. I've not seen the 720 conference yet because it obviously hasn't happened but it's probably going to be marketing crap with few meaningful games as well. It's almost as if console gaming is a bit trout nowadays!Nintendo did not release a price point or release date for the Wii U at E3 2011. Even at E3 2012, they didnt have a firm release date.

Yeah that flew over me and I feel a tad bit looserish(SPOILER)that's the joke
I've yet to see the actual presentation, and really my only exposure to announcements so far has been the small updates on Gamasutra so far (I'd rather wait for it to be over and catch the highlights later personally so I can more easily sift through it to find what jumps out at me as actually being interesting), so I have to hold my tongue a bit about what social features were announced. I know there was some talk about things like being able to watch what friends are playing via live stream and "take over the controller and help them," but I'm really not up on what they announced.
But as far as social features in general in consoles and games, there's just no value in that for me. I could care less about taking screen shots of my games, let alone looking at the screen shots my friends take, and I really don't care about being able to watch a live stream of a buddy getting their ass kicked in a game. To me, it's all just silly bulltrout that distracts from what I actually want to do with a console: play games. Now I'm not saying others don't enjoy it since obviously there are those out there that like those features, but they just are not for me. I don't see them adding any value to my gaming experience, but I also just dislike social media in general.
MILF, be careful. Nothing's making us more satisfied with how the press conference went than the hate-infused vapors fuming from your nostrils. Use preview post in the future.
Another really bizarre moment was the 4 Bungie developers brought out on the stage, three of which who stood there and waived. I'm feeling some "How many Bungie developers does it take..." jokes coming along.
That's what I was thinking. For me it's cool cause I hate having to time my screenshots with the game as it's playing, with this you can rewind the last few seconds of gameplay and grab it. But you won't look at it anyway
I think watching your friends play will be cool for when we're waiting to get matched into Warzone rounds of Killzone and we watch in utter horror at what new completely esoteric and niche JRPG NeoCracker is playing...
