E3 2009: my reaction

Ok, I have all of your reactions, so I gues it's my time to speak out about E3 2009. :)

Conferences:
I watched SONY and Microsoft conferences both on IGN, because they had "new" kind of player with no buffering and waiting so I took advantage of that since I did not watch the conferences live.
Both conferences were interesting and I watched them from start to finish.
They both seemed to me equally good/bad (there were good and bard boring parts).
I like SONY opening better since it showed various SONY games in a nice video and Microsoft started right from the Beatles game (which had a nice opening credits).
It was kinda funny that both conferences had similar endgins..in the way that they both showed their "new" motion controller that will change the future of gaming (oh, please...).
It was also funny that most of SONY's annoucements were already known (..PSP GO..) and that they announced new Final Fantasy even though FFXIII is not released yet.
However, I think Microsoft conference was organized better and I liked their stage more (green color).
In general, I was happy to see both presentations and they both were great.

Games:
Many great games, but only few new debuts.
Talking about debuts, I remember new Rockstar game being announced - AGENT, but only the logo was showed (seriously, not even a wallpaper?) and where the heck is L.A. Noire??
Other..already known games..
- Alan Wake is alive and looking really good! (but where's Heavy Rain?)
- Splinter Cell: Conviction comes back with different look..?...still don't know if I like the new look
- God of War III - brutality at it's best!
- Modern Warfare 2 looks pretty good, but I was not impressed with the demo.
- Assassin's Creed II looks stunning and beautiful..hopefully it's not aa repetitive.
- Forza 3 has cars that look better than in real life! Wow...please release this on PC..PLEASE! (this game left better impressions that Gran Turismo 5)
...just a few games, that I saw demos during press conferences and those that I still remmeber...
oh yeah, and Left 4 Dead 2 (I hold my comments 'till my next blog).

I don't remember last year's E3, but I was pretty happy with E3 2009. Hopefully E3 2010 will be even bigger and more badass (I know what you thinking now) next year! 8)


See you next year (or not, I don't really care)
