Worst E3 ever, seriously. If I had to say who had the best conference - I would say Sony, and Nintendo with the worst, but no one has anything to be proud of.

This is by far the worst E3 ever. E3 is officially dead. Sure, we got some cool trailers to Killzone 2, GeoW2, Resistance 2, Fallout, RE5, and the like... but the conferences were terrible, and there were few megatons. Why did Sony hype God of War 3 and then show a teaser trailer? *sigh*

Will there be an E3 next year? I don't even care. A sad time for gamers everywhere.

Yep, the conferences were lack luster, but gamers (PS3/360 wise) have not lost jack. As there are so many top shelf games hitting this year that my wallet is already crying....better yet, my bank account is already crying, lol.

My sig speaks the truth about E3. Seriously what happened to this event that used to be the "Can't miss gaming event of the year and if you do miss it your not nerd"? E3 we know and love?

When did they hype God of War 3?

everyone knew they where going to show a teaser, it was expected.

I came satisfied from the Sony and Microsoft conf, maybe a bit dissapointed from Microsoft conf (where is alan wake and the games passed 2008).

I don't expect an E3 next year.

LOL! You are just a sheep trying to spin Nintendo's conference by saying this E3 was the worst.

Sony and MS had much better showings and offerings than Nintendo.

Uh... MS had an amazing E3. New dashboard, several great games being shown off, and a couple more announcements. You honestly are probably just in a FF13 withdrawal and still haven't recovered.
And besides--- Bungie is going crazy. Awesome (you realize MS still has 1 more game up their sleeve, right?)

Why the heck would you say "God of War 3 will be at E3", and then show him on a cliff making an angry face. That's like saying "There's a mario game in the works!" duh! We all knew GoW would be in development.

We just have to wait to see what is on the floor. The Press Cons was a let down but E3 has turned more casual after 2006 I think. The Press Cons was a little better than last year, but on the floor is where all the good stuff is and there is 3 more days of E3 maybe somebody will announces something big.

I don't give a crap about Final Fantasy. I've never even played FF. Stop being a fanboy. Microsoft's conference was lackluster, with almost nothing we didn't know.

At least Nintendo showed all new stuff, even if they were almost all complete crap.

I didn't lose

but E3s mistique is lost forever IMO

Because sure Nintendo got a -5 this year

but Sony and Microsoft were 6 and 7 at best.

Very low key

Only a 2 big surprises(FF 13 and MAG)

only a few major announcements(XBOX Live overahaul, and God of War 3 Teaser)

No major additions to there 08 lineups(everything we knew the 2 companies would release this year was shown but nothing added)

Halo Wars, Tekken 6, White Knight, Splintercell Conviction, Alan Wake can all fall under maybe next year or vaporware in certain cases.

Hell where was Waredevil?

Where was Heavy Rain?

Where was Champions online(DAMN IT)

Where was BUNGIE(according to Kotaku they were at every major showing. Microsoft, EA, and SOny)

Yet nothing.

I'm a sheep that owns a 360, loves it, and watched all the conferences. What did they show? avatars, dashboards, media solutions, I WANT NEW GAMES! Not stupid media solutions.

Yeah where is Sadness? I can understand why you are upset. Hell Resident Evil 5 and FF13 on 360 made it worth while plus Gears of War 2, Fallout 3, Too Human demo, and Fable 2. I watched it all and was pretty damn happy with my consol investment.

The gamers who own a 360 and where going to buy a PS3 for FF won. I'm sure there is still some undecided buyers out there who had the news of "FF going to 360" helped make up their mind, and multicores will save the cash and just buy one console. With GTA, RE, DMC, Halo, Gears and now FF.

I think Sony had a great show, very entertaining how they used LBP to make the presentation, that got me fairly more excited for the game. I loved the look and feel of infamous, God of war3 teaser was pretty cool. IMO it would have been perfect to see a lil tekken6, but o well cant have it all at once i guess. Great e3 for me..

I don't agree that it was the worst E3 ever only because Sony impressed me a lot with their showing, although yeah, the other 2 were pretty bad. Plus, we haven't seen most of the games on display on the floor show yet.

Honestly I would say the ps2 gamers who waited thus far to purchase a ps3 won. For 400$ they can enjoy an 80gb ps3 with bluray AND FF13, which has always been on the system they love-ps2. Just because it isnt exclusive doesnt meen ps3 gamers cant enjoy it, cows are getting way too mad and lemms way too cocky. Finally we can both enjoy FF! Thats awesome! But ps3 showed far more exclusives even though they lost a larger one, they shpwed initiative for the future, and psn video looks promising, nbot to mention giving psp gamers an incentive to choose ps3. Sony did a lot of great things today. I wish I had seen better from the big N though.

Microsoft had by far the best conference, but it was still crappy. Not one unannounced game has been revealed. Other than FF13, there were absolutely no surprises. This E3 has been a giant waste of time, in my opinion. Very disappointing.

I really wish they hadn't take out the PS2 BC out of the 80GB. Why did they do that? :( My PS2 is broken.

Yeah but undecided buyers already knew all that before E3. I fail to see how Sony's E3 conference Won. I'm sure FF on 360 will sway some decisions.

Yea, I think many people are saying that. And I agree with them. Microsoft was the best, and they won me over with only one game. You need more than that.

at least nintendo presented something all games can profit from and thats something i would like as gamer ! microsofts biggest suprise was ffXIII but it changed nothing for me. and from sony there was nothing interesting ( next time gameplay not render vids !) fishfake

i agree

ms had the megaton of the entire show, but other than that nothing in terms of major exclusives just some copy cat attempts

i liked infamous, r&c and resistance psp but that was the majority of the sony show for me

other than ff13 the biggest surprise for me was gta:ds, other than the lack of more surprises
