Wow, the few seconds of Halo 3 teaser trailer is more exciting than the complete Sony conference. The canyon shot and the music is breathtaking indeed.

Only the full MGS4 trailer can win me over, my favorite game series of all time.

Great job Microsoft. You are learning fast.

no it didn't lol

The windows connectivity was great, GTA IV is not exclusive (but there will be some exclusive downloadable content). Moore said that GTA will launch on Xbox 360 day 1 instead of months afterward.

haha at the Sony damage control going on in this thread. MS looks good. Nintendo looks good. Sony is a distant third.

Anyone know where one can see the GOW gameplay vid?

I think everyone with a 360 that they can access right now is actually on the marketplace trying to download this stuff.

Im dying to see Tony Hawks Project 8 footage. It's supposedly on markeplace. I keep hearing the game is grounded again, a new design, more realistic, etc. So, any good soul willing to capture the footage for GAF? Im dying here!

Tony Hawk redesigned from the ground up for the better and no one cares? Oh GAF! You dissapoint me! :lol

Doom bringer....you put the MS conf and Nintendo's conf on the same level of Sonys conf. Basically you hate confs because its impossible to believe in something like that.

And you say the Ms one is boring....you must have died watching the Sony one hey? :lol

Gaf never dissappoints

Shit...I missed it. Is the Gears of war footage up yet? I saw Halo 3, and....yea....the only thing that impressed me was the white screen. I want to see what matters at the moment!


That, and how many dollars did they give Rockstar?:lol

Please let this be true. I loved the first game on the DC but it went downhill from there.

Yeah being honest sucks. Honestly from a non fanboy prespective all three were about equal to me.

What was hot at each conference:

Sony: Heavenly Sword, MGS4, Final Fantasy XIII (plus the action rpg), Naughty Dog game, and Lair
Nintendo: Red Steel (I said wow), Mario Universe (cool), Disaster (even though it was cg, the concept sounds interesting)
Microsoft: Gears of War (both the trailer and the gameplay rocked), Lost Planet, Mass Effect and Halo 3 teaser

What was not hot:
Sony: CG trailer of Eight days, GT4HD, crappy PSP showing, and Warhawk
Nintendo: Crappy graphics in all games except for Mario Universe, Meteroid Prime 3, and CG trailers of FFCC and a bunch of other games
MS - Cg trailers for Shadowrun, Fable 2 and Forza, not enough focus on Lost planet, mass effect or Too human (they only showed teasers for those)

All confernces had too much talking going on which I really don't care about...but GT4HD was the worst...

5/10 for all

Well after seeing the conference I can't say it was all that better than the Nintendo one. A little too much boring Gates talk in the end. Still, it was excellent compared to previous Xbox E3 conferences. The lack of J Allard sure helps too.

+ The whole Xbox Live / Windows Vista integration. Really cool.
+ Contra, Lumines
+ Forza 2 this year + wireless steering wheel
+ GTA4, Halo 3, obviously
+ Gears of War, wasn't really convinced before, now I am

- Shadowrun. Almost looked like a regular shooter without rpg elements. Visually disappointing as well.
- Not enough Mass Effect, Too Human

HALO 3 just owned E3.

That was the best teaser to a game I've seen in a very long time.

Microsoft, I'm so sorry I doubted you pre-E3. You've earned my money! :D

Nintendo shows a bunch of gamecube level games with lots of jerking around, sony shows a few nice games, a lot of other junk and a 600 dollar price point, and somehow, the MS one isn't better?

Cheap + function + shit loads of games = better then both.

gotta give microsoft props for getting GTA4 exclusive (or atleast for probably over a year). That game alone will make people get and XBox 360.

Pretty please would someone say a little about how good or bad it was? I just read through the Sony and Nintendo threads and I just don't have the heart to do another one. I'm seeing people think it was the best?

Like I said in the other thread MS had the best conference. I was blown away by GoW. I love everything about the game.

I wonder what was going on in that prison and the hanging bodies..... ~_~ game seems to have a cool story.

lacks enthusiasm.
You guys weren't on the Gamespot stream earlier? It started around 1pm PST... maybe it was for subscribers only.

Heh, I thought I was going crazy for a second since it still had the countdown when I checked. Had to refresh a few times before the real link showed up.
