I think Sony won this year.
Sure the press conference started late and it got a little boring at points, but they had the most games that I found interesting. And also, how can you not love the PS4 info they gave? I think the price is great, even though it is only $100 cheaper than the XONE, it is still cheaper. I wonder how many GB it'll have for that price though. And the whole support of used games and no logging online every 24 hours... I'm more in favor of the PS4 right now. Plus isn't apparently region-free which is awesome. I think more consoles need to be region free.
In their opening montage they had a glimpse of Tales of Xillia so I was really hoping they'd feature it, but they didn't... Well GS will cover it on Thurs so I'm looking forward to that. And it's cool it was in there at all even if it was only a second and it's cool it's at E3. (Playable too, I beleive. I really can't wait till August) There was also a bit of Agni's Philosophy if I'm remembering correctly... So I was wondering if perhaps there would be an announcement of a new FF based on AF, since Square did promise a new FF, but it doesn't seem like that tech demo will ever become anything.
I was hoping for Versus info, but was totally not expecting KHIII. And Square gave us both! Square has said in the past that KHII won't be able to be started until Versus was finished, but it's now in development so I'm not sure if they're almost done with Versus or they just decided to just give it to the BbS/DDD team and go ahead and start on it. (Which they have.) I'm iffy about that, but I did enjoy BbS and DDD was good too. KHIII looks good so far with the new style, and I'm really looking forward to that.
Versus is now Final Fantasy XV, and it looks great as well. Not really a new Final Fantasy Square, but okay. It was a great trailer, and any new info on Versus is great.
I was really hoping for The Last Guardian to show, but unfortunately it wasn't, and apparently it's on hiatus... Though I'm sure Team Ico will make another masterpiece and it'll be well worth the wait. I just wish we could get more info soon... a trailer, screenshots, something. Anything!
Dissapointed there was no Type-0 announcement. Come on, Square, port it to the Vita and localize it! (I'd prefer it on the psp, but you know...) Maybe if they are (I'm hoping) pretty close to done with Versus, and the HD remakes will be out soon, they'll have time to do that. Let the west give you our money!!!!! That's the only thing that'll make me buy a Vita at the moment. (Just FYI since you're apparently worried about the console's sales, and FYI Sony) There are a few other games I'd like for it, but none of them are system sellers for me. (Tales of Hearts R and Innocence R would make me buy one too...)
Microsoft, EA, and Ubisoft's press conferences were pretty boring to me. There wasn't much that particulary stood out for me. There were a lot of racing and sports games...
Nintendo's direct wasn't that great It lagged terribly. Most of the games shown, while I am excited about them, are things we've already seen/were expecting. The surprises were nice, but not mind blowing. (Like KHIII and an awesome new Versus trailer.) The best thing, the new Smash Bros trailer, lagged the worse (even skipping chunks of it) and then the stream just dropped right when Mega Man appeared. Lame... I was able to see the trailer later of course but I would of prefered being able to see it during the direct. (I did wake up to see it live after all) Just do a press conference next year, Nintendo, please...
Can't wait for the new HD Zelda too. Having that appear would of been amazing. Oh well, give them time...
The press conferences were of course yesterday, (minus Nintendo's Direct this morning) and there was some exciting stuff today, I'm really looking forward to the last two days of E3. Like what is this "big surprise" Capcom promised?
This week just began beautifully. (There's also a Desolation of Smaug trailer and a release date!!!!)
I wish Nintendo would announce the winners of their E3 facebook contest already. I know I obviously didn't win, but I would like to know who did...
