E3 Best of Show?

I'm not really that impressed by any of them. They all showed more or less what I was expecting. I was a bit surprised by the quality of the graphics displayed during the Sony event though. Some of that stuff was crazy.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

How ya doing, buddy?

Why the hell don't people make the polls public anyway. Then at least people wouldn't have to be in denial when they see a poll that has clearly been manipulated.

I was speaking idiomatically.

I honestly wanted to, but I pressed "submit poll" before I remembered to tick the box. Can a mod change that, or is it too late?

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Nintendo had the best presentation, so I voted for them. However, I'm more impressed with the games for PS3. As 'revolutionary' as the Wii is, MGS kicks its ass quite thoroughly.

FELIPE NO

It's not rigged, dude. Stop trolling. =/

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Since Nintendo "won" and all does this mean their new console will actually get supported? I mean can I expect more than 5 games to be released for it? Actually I could give a flying crap about Wii. The only thing I care about is Twilight Princess and that will play just fine on my Gamecube. Although the best news from Nintendo was the unveiling of a functional controller. Yes not everyone wants to look like a young child with down syndrom while playing their videogames.

On principle alone I refuse to use that ridiculous controller.

The dude playing Metroid 3 actually did a bulletime "John Woo" sideways lunge at one point. I'm thinking at this point if the videogame industry crashed it would actually be a saving grace.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I don't think there is a way to change it unless we started over. Luckily I can look up who voted through the admin CP:

I've never seen such ignorance in my life. You should do a liitle background research before saying things like "more than 5 games". I'll personally paypal you 10 dollars if you still "refuse to use that ridiculous controller" within 1 month of the Wii's release and people are playing it all around you.

It's people like you who hinder innovation and cause video games to lack in.... oh I dunno... Gameplay?

Not everyone wants to spend $500-$600 for better graphics.

Haha, thanks for posting that Miles.

How is that funny? I love how people get off at making fun of people for no apparent reason.

Oh no why not just make fun of Aardvark for his only PC vote or for the people who voted for what was clearly the worst of E3 (sony)

I mean the post was just worthless, and now this one is stooping toward worthlessness as well.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Probably because a vote for what I'm going to assume was most likely Spore if you pay more attention to PC gaming and not console gaming makes sense. I dunno. Why don't you ask Aardark if you think it's so important? =/

It's funny because it's stereotypical. I'm not making fun of you, I'm laughing at the fact that the only two people to vote for Microsoft here is you and Tube, that's all.

How ya doing, buddy?

This poll only proves that some here are full of shit. I don't like Nintendo or Microsoft and I can objectively say that Nintendo won the show with MS finishing in a close 2nd. What did Sony have aside from MGS4? If anything they proved to be full of BS in last year's E3 cause I don't see their killer ap, KillZone, anywhere on the show floor. Didn't they claim that to be real-time gameplay? Lol, ok.. WHATEVER.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Here's another post without reading context.

XBox didn't exactly wow me, but I didn't expect it to. I'm not too much of a sucker for game demos at E3.

Sony maanged to completely lose my interest in the PS3 with that ridiculous price tag. Honestly, do you REALLY think enoguh people can afford $600 to justify the price?

Nintendo, however, got my complete attention with their Wii stuff. I don't care what the price is, since I've heard it's $300 or less, I just care about that there are GAMES now that we can judge the Wii remote's gameplay with, and god damnit, the games look interesting. Since the controller came out I knew it all hinged on bringing the right games out for it, and that's where Nintendo got my attention.

I won't be getting a PS3 until it drops. A lot. Not even when Final Fantasy XIII comes out. Now that I think about it, I got both Sony systems 2-3 years after they came out anyway. So I might as well keep the streak going.

Wii wins E3, in my opinion.

Who's the 3rd Microsoft voter? Own up.

For the 14 of you who missed the Nintendo conference, it should be up for download at Gamespot now.

EDIT: I agree that the Sony showing was the worst, that's painfully obvious, but Sony will always have its supporters who vote for them no matter what.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

One more in that boat.

There could be a fucking football game on PC, a genre I haven't the slightest interest in, the sole game on show for the PC, and it would still be more worthy of attention than the contrived bullshit-circus that is the console exhibits.

Tell me this poll is rigged as well Tuberacer

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

If I had to rank the three (which is a bit silly), I would say:

Nintendo
Microsoft
Sony

Sony loses huge points for having that crash during a demo. I'm sorry, but that's just pathetic. Also, what's up with the crippled PS3? I was reading an article about how they had to play defense the rest of the show over that, which is bad for them; E3 when you get great soundbytes out about how awesome your console is, and having to constantly try to rationalize their (idiotic) decision hurts them.

Microsoft, well, I'm kind of excited about a lot of the new 360 games coming out, but not a whole lot of them are coming from MS itself. Yeah, sure, Halol 3, etc. I'll probably play it, why lie. But I'm mostly interested in puzzle, adventure and platformer games. The 360 seem to have mostly FPSes and sports games at this point, which isn't enough to get me excited about a console, especially one that costs $450. Once the price comes down, and some more games come out, I'll consider getting one. I'm very interested to see how the new XBL is (I have a hugebox and Live for it).

I'm going to consider the DS separately from the Wii, because, well, I'm that excited about the DS. Over 100 titles coming out for it, which is insanely awesome. Lots of ports of N64 games, which isn't necessarily a bad thing, since the N64 games were awesome in the first place. Despite this, there are still some great new games coming out (Hotel Dusk 215, for example). I'm having a blast playing Metroid Prime Huntgers, and I can't wait for New Super Mario Aweome Bros. to come out.

Now, The Wii. Ahh, the Wii. What to say? What I've been reading so far can be summarized thusly:
1. The graphics are better than the Gamecube (makes sense, Broadway is supposedly the GC hardware but printed with a 90nm process instead of a 180nm one, which would give them about a 2x perf boost and drop their power requirements a bit).
2. The controller is not quite done, especially on the software side.

This is completely understandable. The remote is a brand new control scheme, it's going to be tricky for developers to get things right. I'm sure heavy playtesting is going on as we speak, and control input is being heavily tweaked. Remember, these games at E3 are not finished products. Also, I'd like to point out that on the show floor, there are many, many remotes, and many people moving around, which might interfere with the sensor a bit. It certainly wouldn't help.

Now, I have a bit of a Nintendo bias, but at this point, I'm having the most fun playing games on my DS, and I'm most excited about the titles coming out for it. I've tried to be fair, but I'm only human.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Microsoft had to be second. The only thing they had to offer were games, and they still pulled it off. If not first, then second, because they have a great line up of games coming out this year, and early '07.

But holy crap, Nintendo. I've said it before, and I'll say it again, horray for the underdogs.

55% is believable, but 86% is just ridiculous.

FELIPE NO

But factoring in 30% of GFAQS are still playing FF7 the figure is closer to 80%

Judging by the fact that you have Master Cheif avitar, I'd say you're just a Microsoft guy who can't come to terms with reality.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Wii stole E3, in my book, but I can't stress enough how freakin' cool the 360's line-up this year it's mind-blowing!

Dead Rising, Table Tennis, Gears of War, Too Human, Rainbow Six Vegas (Have you seen the videos?!!), Splinter Cell 4, Sonic, Stranglehold, Haze, Crackdown, Saints Row and more!

Wow.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Too bad Rainbow Six Vegas, SC4, Sonic, and Stranglehold aren't exclusive, just off the top of my head.
