I guess Nintendo won. Their presentation was a vindication for fans -- that Nintendo actually listens to its fans. I suspect that because of all the backlash from the Pokemon Direct where no core Pokemon game was announced for the Switch, Nintendo knew they needed to assuage fans.
My vote goes to Devolver Digital. A conference where a company criticizes E3 conferences? That wins my vote. Here's a link for those who may have missed it.
Nintendo > Ubisoft > Microsoft => Sony > EA >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Bethesda
Actually:
Nintendo > Ubisoft > Microsoft => Sony > EA >>> Bethesda >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 30th Anniversary of Final Fantasy (WTF SE, seriously, what was that trout!?)
Ain't that the truth, it's hard to believe it's the 30th Anniversary.
True beauty exists in things that last only for a moment.
Current Mood: And it's been a long December and there's reason to believe. Maybe this year will be better than the last. I can't remember all the times I tried to tell myself. To hold on to these moments as they pass...
Seems like a lot of companies are dropping the ball on these anniversaries. Castlevania and MegaMan had the same issues. Companies forget the games that made them and that's just surreal to me
Pull my Devil Trigger!
From what I've heard (still haven't seen them), Microsoft had the better presentation. It looked better, flowed better, was better structured, etcetera. And thus can be rated higher, especially in the heat of the moment.
Then you step back and realize that they promoted Minecraft in 4K for the Xbox One X. Or for that matter, Cuphead, another game with ultra stylized graphics that don't really have anything extra to show off with the "enhancements".

He can really use a hand with this, and any support you can offer is appreciated.
Now pair that info with what they're proposing in this article.
A wildly ambitious, impossibly scaled game flirting with numerous genres...
This is the sort of project that tends to fail, hard, when it's confronted with reality. "Let's just put everything in".
