Digital events are the wave of the future.

I think this was the consensus among most. Not knocking PS or Xbox but Nintendo's line up felt more diverse even if not too many games were initially appealing to me.

I actually felt that Sony had more games imo, 1st party and 3rd party but the actual presentation was better with Nintendo/Microsoft.

All they showed was 90% ports of last gen games,Generification(kinda made of word but means games like AC & Batman have made themselves Generic within thier own series) and interchangable shooters. You can take half the shooters they showed take a clip and put it in another game.

 

MS/Sony just showed more of the same and Sony had it's own awkward stage presenters. Nintendo went with something mroe personal in that direct. Why every game had style or color you could not take clip of one of those games and put it in another. Plus they had Treehouse and the Smash Tourney. I guess tho if you like generic as winning.

Eeh, I'd say bayonets and Xenoblade could have fitted in Microsoft and sony's respectively.
But I do agree with you about their own style. The 4 conferences were pretty generic and similar whereas Nintendo just dd their style and it worked perfectly.

Nintendo takes home the GOLD (and Platinum) medal.  Microsoft ends up winning the silver, and Sony falls short with no gameplay, all CGI movie-style trailers... closing with a bronze medal performance.

 

 

The Legend of Zelda, Bayonetta 2 and 1 collection, Hyrule Warriors, Xenoblade Chronicles X, Super Smash Bros., Mario Maker, Project S.T.E.A.M. and Yoshi's Woolly World were the best I've ever seen.

 

Splatoon wins BEST NEW IP from Nintendo

 

The Unreal Engine powered Devil's Third wins the MOST EPIC DIDN'T SEE THAT ONE COMING award... thanks to Nintendo for funding and publishing it to developer Valhalla Game Studios

no no you misunderstand. I could take Call of Duty clip and put it with many other FPS games and look the same even in the newest one can be clipped with Crysis 1. If you tried to put a Bayonetta 2 clip in with Xenoblade you can blatantly tell it's 2 separate games.

Kirby Canvas looks very different from Woolly world despite both being bright and colorful. So while most games were colorful the styles and gameplay were vastly different.

Ooh my bad, In though you meant take a game from Nintendos conference and see if it fits into a Sony conference XD.

Seriously I liked all 3 conferences in terms of the games they showed, but I just preferred Sonys because of No Mans Sky which looks amazing, The Order looks fantastic (Gears with a twist of steam punk/horror), Bloodborne(Dark souls anyone?), Uncharted 4(once again pushing the limits of a console), DLC for infamous which again looks promising and remakes that are worth doing(Grim Fandingo). Again there's probably more indie games coming out and plus the 3rd party support which Nintendo is lacking BIGtime.

Microsoft showed some great stuff as well with Sunset Overdrive, Inside, Ori(the indie game), plus Phantom Dust(which was a fantastic game on the original Xbox). Also I'll never understand the "more of the same" it could easily be said of Nintendo that they show more of the same(Mario,Zelda,miis,etc.) still I never bring cheap stuff like that cause I love me some Zelda and Mario, in the end if you didn't like ps3 or 360 then it's obvious that you probably wouldn't like Sonys nor Microsoft conference.

Grim Fandango is a port. Ori is also PC. They showed stuff you can get anywhere and again you are kinda dense to understand when things are so interchangeable. Nintendo showed 5 new IP's this year and everything varied. Sony/MS showed more gritty shooters they offered little variety. Everything NIntendo showed even if vibrant was vastly different from another. Uncharted 4 trailer is the exact trailer 2 and 3 had also no matter the claims E3 builds that are promised as in game are always from Sony heavily watered down. In fact Uncharted 3 E3 build looked amazing but final Build was a massive downgrade. The Last of Us AI was promised to anticipate and adaptive. TLOU AI was horsing stupid. Everyone runs at you head on and other times be next to you and do nothing. I own Phantom Dust I know about it.  Sunset Overdrive we saw last year it does look sorta fun. The Order is going to be trash. Quite a few articles of people who played it. The game is pretty to look at but you almost don't play the game at all. It redefines linear. About all those 3rd parties are trash anyway.

 

PS3 is my fave Last gen console I also had a 360 and Wii..still do always will. No Mans Sky is a game that will wow you at a show with visuals but looks to be nothing but a game with zero objective. You explore and if your ship breaks you spend 5 hours make a new ship to explore aimlessly as said 2 people from Giant Bomb who were given a post E3 presentation. Be cool for some and others the wow factor wear off fast and get boring. Bloodporn is more Demon Souls than Dark Souls. Demons Souls was hard,Dark Souls was just broken disguised as being hard. I'm a fan of From Software from PS1 days and Dreamcast days with Frame Gride and Xbox days with Otogi 1-2. Not unfamiliar with them.

 

Nintendo showed very different things. Old IP's mainly with a vastly different play style and look. Then 5 new IP's. Sony and MS showed a bunch of Music Videos and CGI trailers to make brainwashed masses piss themselves with glee. It's pathetic. Instead of actually playing the game and explaining the mechanics which Nintendo heavily did with games like Wooly World and Splatoon. I am excited for Grim Fandango and Ori and Scalebound. They were bright spots in a sea of interchangeable games and series like Batman and Assassins Creed becoming Generic within themselves. Sony and MS just switched conferences from the previous year. It almost literally was the same thing they done in previous years. Nintendo has a very spotty E3 record but this year not just their Direct but Treehouse and Smash Tourney reinvented E3 as they know E3 is not stuck in 1995 anymore.

 

What Sony/MS showed will fade from memory fast while what Nintendo did is sticking with people. The lasting impression is why thet flat out kicked ass this year when everyone including me as I posted it in a few status updates expected them to fall flat.

I liked Nintendo's way of presenting their games, the tree house was genius, still I also liked the other two presentations in terms of their games shown. I'll leave it at that as you seem very stern in your ways.

[iEatTacos]

Everyone feels nintendo won e3. And rightly so, they came out with the big guns. KNOCKOUT

Yes but I'm guessing they're talking about overall presentation and eventhough I enjoyed the games I didn't enjoy Sony's hour long sales pitch for Vita, Playstation Now and Playstation TV. The press confrence could have done without, in that regard both MS and Ninty did far better.

That's exactly how I feel, as I mentioned in my first comment.

i thought all 3 were nothing special this year,i thought nintendos treehouse was pritty good but there digital presentation was rubbish imo and i would rather see a live presentation on stage...but...all 3 were lacking this year to me

To each his own.  The Digital Even presentation was excellent overall.  Unlike Sony's presentation, both Nintendo and Microsoft show games with no boring speeches.

[Lafosse64]

and I totally agree, this time Nintendo exceeded expectations. I was just expecting some more Super Smash info, some Nintendo Tvii dump one or two gimmick games but NOOOOO Nintendo showed a lot of games that im DYING to have now. and that makes me very happy. I hope Nintendo keep delivering like this to the Wii U, maybe we wont have all the multiplatforms or super graphics... but we will get the greatest quality in Nintendo games if Nintendo keep up the good work.

Can't wait for 2015...
