I believe Sony had a great show.
Microsoft I didn't care about at all.
I do believe though, today left Nintendo well positioned to have the best games. They just need to show what they promised plus a couple surprises (retro and something else) and they could really win. The games NEED to impress though.
P.S: vita was a train wreck. They are not even trying there. If I was a vita owner id be pissed. Is official, the handheld market is Nintendo owned again.

I feel like a lot of people are getting taken in by Sony's attack dog stance but not considering the content of the presentation.
Sure, the console is $399, but it's really much more if you're going to pay for PS+ over the life of the console.
Sure, they're not fucking you over as bad as Microsoft, but they're taking a step backwards from PS3 in forcing you to pay for multiplayer now.
That said, I loved what Sony did for Indie games during their presentation.

I'm expecting to be disappointed like a lot of people here. Mario/Kart/Smash, usual tried and tested formula. Nintendo had better bring it with the first party games and third party funded stuff, because it looks like the only real third party in board at the moment is Ubisoft. And I can see them giving up after their Q4 titles like AC4 and Splinter Cell sell crap numbers.
microsoft was showing off new shit (although killer instinct looked really painfully bad). whatever insomniac's thing was looked fun and bright like their games haven't been in ages. crimson dragon rightfully had its fair share of applause despite the lack of sound (which, unlike battlefield 4, wasn't too big of an issue with microsoft). titanfall looked interesting, or at least more interesting than destiny, which is like someone at bungie played borderlands and decided to make borederlands.
as boring as it was, i did appreciate the gesture. it was neat.
You just hyped me more. lol
Microsoft showed a lot, but (a) much of it likely was portrayed as being exclusive, while actually being multi-platform, and (b) few of the games were genuinely compelling (to me). Insomniac's thing and Titanfall are the only ones I can remember off-hand.
Sony didn't have as much but they delivered where it counted with the Square Enix stuff, which has a very real chance of being exclusive, the indie-fest, and some solid first party efforts, all while re-emphasizing that PS3 has plenty of steam left. I walked away definitely being more impressed overall with the games I might be playing on PS4 rather than Xbone.

POKEMON EMERALD HD CONFIRMED.
if WiiU gets KH3, then they win
I actually think FFXV is more likely, if only because development started on PS3... but I think it's very unlikely that either of them are on Wii U.
I agree that this is kind of an annoying trend, though for different reasons. I'm personally not big on social gaming unless it is something nice and non-cooperative like deathmatch. I got my fill of MMOs a long time ago.
Hopefully the online experience in most of these games doesn't resemble shit like WOW in any way. I don't want to join guilds and make friends and all that shit. I won't do it, in fact.
Now, if it's just a single player game and other people are randomly popping up in the same world as you... That might be okay. Burnout Paradise had a mode like that and I enjoyed it quite a bit in a mindless way during my brief time owning a PS3.
Or if I can just log in and run around shooting random people, and screwing with them. That might be okay too.

I hope you're right. But I don't expect Nintendo to drop bombs of the level of KH3 or even of the level of "no DRM".
Anyway, I still have 7 hours to get my body (and hype) ready again.

Titanfall is a cross gen and PC title, Insomniac had a CG trailer (everything interesting was CG or two seconds long), and Crimson Dragon is a 360 Kinect game about waving your arms hastily ported to One.
None of it seemed new or next gen at all.
it's unlikely that either of them happen for wii u, but kh 3 looked a lot less impressive than ffxv. it's probably because it's early.
if any s-e game happens for the wii u, it will probably be dq viii remake. and even that's a stretch.

This. But take out MKU and WWHD. In terms of personal gaming interest Wii U still has the most games I want. Still PS4 made great gains in this last conference so I'm hoping Nintendo makes their lead in my personal interests greater with some Wii U megatons (I have my doubts). That's why I was day one Wii U.
don't forget about DR3, which is clearly a current gen game moneyhatted into next gen.

IMO neither Sony or Microsoft have killer exclusives. So if you're going for multiplats, then might as well get them on the machine that costs $100 and doesn't have crazy drm.
In hindsight both conferences were a little lackluster, I think the $399 price point just got everyone in a frenzy.
Purely judging on games alone, Nintendo should (and hopefully) win in that regard.

Exactly 7 hours from now.

What?

Yeah. Maybe they'll just show this week's new Pokémon and say "More coming later today" in a tiny 3DS segment or something...

Those all have PS3/360 versions. Easy port.

They already stated it would be just Wii U. Even then I expect 40-50 minutes wasted on already announced games and online connection numbers

Yep. Also going to bed. Good night, NintenGAF. Tomorrow, we will all be disappointed or hyped to the Mushroom Kingdom. Let there be bombs.
Or else you'll start getting cranky. Very cranky
Hype levels rising...to dangerous levels...I may be overhyped...
pokemon mmorpg confirmed

Time to get some sleep, hopefully GAF survives, or if that's not possible, at least the IRC
GAF was the worst I've ever seen it today.
Hey... maybe we'll get Pokemon Snap. YOU NEVER KNOW!
See you can't just say things like that and pretend it's okay. There is nothing that can reach my expectations now.
He's not telling us it's Wii U focused. Nintendo have on the Japanese, American and European pages.
He's just saying to watch the Nintendo Direct:
I apologise if I caused some confusion
After spending two generations arguing how ass-backward the very idea of paying a Live subscription just so one can play online multiplayer is, I'm kind of furious that Sony is now joining that come-stained party and everyone is just skipping round the subject because HEY THEY DON'T GIVE US ASS-BACKWARD DRM #PRAISE #PRAISE #PRAISE
A little overexcited, but maybe they're planning something like what happened with MH3U? That would be pretty cool.

I would be ecstatic if Nintendo announced one of their games was 1080p tomorrow. Not gonna happen, but it would be cool.
I had maybe two hours of sleep yesterday and I have a cold. Yet I'm not tired. The magic of hype?
For the record, I think this will be enjoyable to watch. Directs are usually fun, but they're also dealing with 3D Mario and Smash. Not franchises that tend to have predictable entries despite the consistent core gameplay.
It's also pretty hard to imagine that Nintendo won't have some surprise at E3. Maybe there's another Project P-100 hidden in a corner.
