Well, there was Ratchet and Clank and Super Mario Galaxy... and apparantly the new Crash Bandicoot got shown off. I think it's largely because most platformers are pretty low-grade and this E3 is smaller in scale, so we're only seeing the big titles.
Rachet & Clank seems to be more of a 3rd person shooter. I'm very excited for SMG. Not much of Crash was shown but I'm happy he coming back. Where's Banjo? :-/
It just seems bizarre that this genre just died. I think it got a bad rep last gen because so many came out at the same time and the market couldnt' support them all. And now there are none.
We now have 1stPS/3rdPS overload: Gears, CoD4, Killzone, Halo3, Lost Planet, Bioshock, Army of Two, Stranglehold, UT3, The Darkness, Cyrsis, Battlefield, Hour of Victory, Medal of Honor, GRAW, Splinter Cell, Rainbow Six, Resistance: Fall of Man, . . . . bald space-marine uber alles.
