I wasn't too impressed with anything. Gimmicks here, gimmicks there, gimmicks everywhere. Nothing new has been brought to the table. I just don't think I'm the target audience for E3 anymore.

Eh from me. Heavily focused on motion gaming and 3D which I don't care that much about. There's lots of games I'm looking forwards to, but I knew all of them were coming out before E3 started. There was the Twisted Metal announcement, and Kirby and Donkey Kong which weren't announced before, but I have neither a Wii or PS3 so in the end those really don't excite me that much.

I was really hoping for something on Half Life Ep. 3.

I'll get the new games that come out, but this year seemed pretty sparse with respect to awesome new game announcements.

A few of the Nintendo first party games will be great, but otherwise the Wii is losing me. The 3DS looks cool, but not sure I'll hop on or not.

Move and Kinect I'm unsure on. Kinect seems more separate from normal games, while Move wants to interact with the normal style games. I need to learn more about the games and what'll actually be out there first.

In general this was a very underwhelming E3 for me. Pretty much everything talked about we knew tons on all ready (Move, Kinect, 3DS, etc)...

I posted this in another thread:

I like to label E3 2010: "The Year of Motion Controls and 2011 Releases" (I think we forgot about the Fall) LOL!

I felt very underwhelmed by all 3 conferences, but probably more by Microsoft and Sony. Too many of their titles are in 2011.

Nintendo showed things that are coming this fall and the 3DS looks hot. They had a stronger showing this year as opposed to the last 2 years.

MS spent way too much time on Kinect with the Wii-like games and not enough with the recognition software of the product. The new 360 is nice and caught my attention......but to motion driven of a conference.

Sony had a pretty good showing, but the PSN+ just isn't something I'm interested in, Move looks like Wii with HD graphics and where was my Resistance 3? LOL! Twisted Metal looks fantastic.

Kinect looked nothing more than tech demos and mini games, which got old on the wii in 2007. MS also whiffed a bit on the slim. While it's cool and I will probably trade my current model in for it, at least Sony paired their slim with a price drop. $299 is a little high for the slim really, but they're likely to throw Kinect in for that same price this holiday anyways. Increased value proposition!!

I'm actually more interested in stuff like twisted metal and a new donkey kong country than yet another gears or halo actually.

E3 isn't just press conferences. Should save general thoughts for after impressions from the floor.

E3 sucks. The drama created from the iPhone pre-orders was more enjoyable to watch.

Perhaps, but these companies do the big stuff during their press conferences...

I'm sure there'll be some great impressions out there, but I'm not expecting anything that'll blow me away
