E3 2011, and holy crap is it a good one this year.
Microsoft: Finally seems to be trying to bring out the potential of the Kinect. Lots of multi-platform games, so they couldn't really brag about much, but some of the new Kinect things do seem impressive....though not that Disney World thing *shudder*
Sony: Awesome lineup of games and the official announcement of their next handheld...the "Vita" confused PS...V? Vita sounds to me like something you'd buy at a Starbucks. It seems like a good handheld really, with some great potential...but I just got a 3DS I'm set for now.
Way more interesting to me was the announcement that there will be a PS3 3D display screen (which I think had regular High Def too), with a pair of glasses, and a copy of Resistance 3...for $500. That is WAY more affordable!
Nintendo: The Wii U. Holy %@#)(% %@%)* They actually listened to all the people who went, "There's not enough hardcore stuuuuuuuff! We want more options than just motion control!" Basically, Nintendo said, "Oh! Ok, no problem biggrin " The new console features a controller with a ********! It's not a handheld stand alone system, but rather an amazing controller. It's got a touch screen, and if you're playing a game on your TV, and someone else needs the TV, you can swap the game onto the controller screen. HD graphics and a touch pad and a slew of other fancy pants gadgets are making a huge range of developers sit up and take notice. The next Darkstalkers game, an Assassins' Creed Game, And various multi-platformers will be possible on this system. The thing that's great is that these are developers who tended to lean more towards Xbox and Playstation, but they're clearly interested in what the Wii U has to offer.
Also...NEW SMASH BROTHERS GAME!!! It will somehow work with both the Wii U and 3DS...I don't get it either, but it's gonna happen.
Also also, Mario Kart 3D will be comming soon and apparently has hang gliding and under water elements.
Also also also, Legend of Zelda Four Swords will be a FREE download for 3DS owners.
Anyway, discuss your own thoughts about E3.

AlcoholicPancake From what I understand, there's going to be a Smash Bros for 3DS, that will interact with the Smash Bros on the Wii U. I may have read wrong but that's what I think I seen. Either way, that's awesome. Also, props to Sony with those glasses, they just solved the oldest problem in multiplayer on the same console, ******** split screen... This was an AWESOME E3, but there were a few disappointments ( I.E. The Brothers in Arms game... ) Also, BRB SAVING UP FOR WII U.
*High fives*
I'm with ya on Smash Brothers. whee I can't wait to see how they'll do it for both 3DS and Wii U.
Also, I've gotta say I'm really annoyed with some of the people I work with. The day after the Nintendo conference, this one guy I work with was like, "I can't believe Nintendo bombed this year! They're basically making an Ipad console that also works on the TV. They'll never compete in the video game industry until they make a system that uses High definition."
burning_eyes I almost puked on his shoes. 1) The Wii U is a full console, the seperate screen is the controller. 2) IT FREAKING IS HIGH DEF!
It always annoys me when people slam video game companies just because they prefer a different system. I don't give two shits about the Kinect, but I can still appreciate the fact that they're trying to do more with it. Sheesh! |

I'm really skeptical about the Wii U. Like, extra skeptical. It could come out and be amazing. It could come out and be a gigantic, awful, horrible, really bad, no good waste of time. I really do enjoy Nintendo, and I enjoy the Wii, but they're trying some crazy stuff this time. I like the idea of a separate map in your hands, I like the seemingly more engaging motion controls, I like the idea of more third-party games. I just can't see how they're going to price it in a range anyone at all can afford. I did read that the tablet controller likely will not be the primary controller, and it will be used in conjunction with the wii remote, so that could be an interesting element where the tablet becomes like a communal, shared controller in multi-player games, and represents a special item or something in game.
So far as the stuff from Microsoft... meh. I really wasn't all that interested. I don't like Halo, so that didn't offer me any type of excitement. I've never played Fable, even though I would really like to. Thusly I couldn't be disappointed. As far as Kinect features, I actually really enjoy the Mass Effect 3 tie-ins. They aren't big, amazing things, but they're a nice addition.
Games I'm really waiting for:
Skyward Sword
Mass Effect 3
Bioshock Infinite
Skyrim
