So Finger, or Squirrel. Overall consensus on this years E3 seems to be
Sony-bad
Microsoft-good
Console games- good
PC games- so so?
Is this what I am gleening from your comments?
From my limited viewpoint, everybody had SOME good stuff to show. I definately wouldn't say Sony = bad. Heavenly Sword, Warhawk, God of War2, Resistance:fall of man, Guitar Heros 2, Okami, all looked great.
Maybe I am getting a little jaded in my old age, but It just seems harder and harder to find those 'wow' games. My general impression of E3 (this year and last), is that we are generally flooded by a sea of mediocre games. I walk away both years feeling a little overwhelmed by the hundreds of titles competing with very similar themes, mechanics, art styles.
Also, E3 pissed me off this year. It was so much harder to see the big games. Microsoft, Nintendo, and SOny each had these showcases behind closed doors, where their primo demos were shown. I would have loved to see Gears of War, but after waiting 3 hours to play 1 Nintendo title, I pretty much said 'screw it' and went home. Overall, I don't think I really enjoy being crammed into this claustraphobic environment, elbowing through people just to get a peek at something I can rent or buy a few months down the road.
My highlight of E306.... watching Fatal1ty challenge people to a 1on1 Q4 deathmatch game. Not 1 person fragged him. Not even once. That was fun.... I just wish they would do the same with HLDM!!
