Is it me, or did Comic Con have more giga-bomb news than this year E3?

Why would expect anything elses? They're directed toward very different audiences. E3 is for the retail buyers. Comic-Con is for the fans and has a much broader reach.

Considering Reach had a much bigger megatonz at Comic-Con than E3, I'd say so

No, I'm pleased with the news that has come out of it, but there was really nothing "giga-bomb" about it.

Well, maybe it's just me. Even though E3 10 wasn't bad, but there really wasn't any news that "wowed" me. In Comic Con, at least 2 (maybe 3) out of the 6 revealed characters wowed me, as well as the Street Fighter vs Tekken announcement, in which really wowed me. That announcement alone probably had to be my personal "giga bomb" news.

because up until this gen (for the most part), E3 always had giga bomb worthy news, at least IMHO that is.

no. The game also looks rather lame spin-off to sell to fanboys of those games.

For capcom stuff yes. I really don't understand why they waited until Comic-Con to show SF X Tekken. Makes no sense. I understand waiting until Comic-con to show new characters.

People have become more media savvy in the past couple of years. There's such a greater opportunity to reach more people at this event that deals with movies, comics as well as videogames. That's where the average person can come and check out what's going on in panels and on the show floor.

It's really no wonder that it's making a much bigger splash.

It wasnt hard to one up the "we dont have any games you want to play but check out this new awesome motion controller that you can use to play all these games you didnt want in the first place blah blah" fiasco that was E3.

As do I, but i looks rather cool, even though it looks like total milkage at it's finest. 2 seperate companies working on 2 versions of the same game??!?!?!!!! This kind a milkage makes IW milkage look innocent:|

:lol::P

I know that IW milkage is UNFORGIVABLE (even though i have bought every map pack released:D), but c'mon, releasing the same game done in 2d by one company, and 3d by another company is beyond milkage.

because people knew about the 3ds and the 360 slim before e3 (or in the 3ds case, way before e3). Even Ninty confirmed it earlier this year and way before e3. We just seen how it worked at e3. As for as the 360 slim, we also knew about it as well (or heard very strong rumors about it). Both of these wasn't really giga bomb news to alot of people really.

For fighting game fans, sure. Overall, definitely not.

Slashkice
My thoughts exactly. Fighters had alot of stuff going on at Comic Con and there were a few other surprises, but overall it didn't come close to E3. I think Nintendo's show alone put Comic Con in its place. And maybe this is just me but why all this stuff going down at Comic Con? Some of it makes sense like Marvel vs. Capcom 3 but other stuff just left me scratching my head and made me think this was more E3 worthy. Perhaps if Sony and Microsoft hadn't been so worried about the motion control wars we'd have seen this information there instead of having to wait abit over a month to hear it. I say keep games out of Comic Con and save them for the actual game shows....

There were some great announcements, but video game wise, there wasn't much compared to E3.

No, they can stay.

No, not when this E3 had amongst some of the biggest announcements ever. Of course, if you're a 360 or a PS3 fanboy, then yes, Comic Con had more interesting stuff for you than E3 ;)

yeah but from that list it looks to appeal to a more narrow spectrum of games and franchises- namely fighting games and comics.

The others have already been covered in E3
