Dont understand why third party games shouldnt be on the stage. They're games too.
Microsoft spent way to much time on the entertainment apps stuff, though Smartglass did look cool. I was fine with Usher on stage. E3 is aimed, while for the gamer, also at the mainstream. And really: its a dance central game. We know what its about. So why not make the reveal as spectacular as possible?
Sony had like 6 games to show, luckily half of em impressed the hell out of me. Wonderbook is the worst thing to happen to us and filled the gap that Microsoft left by not bringing out young kids on stage.
EA: Was actually impressed by Dead Space 3, Most Wanted and Medal of Honor: Warfighter. Simcity looks fine. Crysis 3 looks like Crysis I guess. Bioware made me cry at how desperate TOR is for them.
Ubisoft: Games Games Games. AC3, BAM. Far Cry 3, BAM. Rayman Legends, BAM. And they showed the single most impressive game coming out of E3: Watch Dogs. BAM BAM. Shootmania looked alright. Just Dance 4 looked... Just Dancy. I thought Aisha Tyler was great! Though she should have punched that other guy as soon as she got the chance. And one more time: WATCH DOGS.
Nintendo: Pikmin 3 and New Super Mario Bros. U look cool I guess. But thats it. Nothing else they showed looked remotely interesting. Even Lego City Undercover, which amazed me at first, on second glance, looks quite unappealing to me. I got more excited for the 3DS coming out of the conference than I was for the Wii U, and they didn't even show their 3DS stuff that day. Wii U failed hard for me, Nintendo failed the Wii U. And they failed E3 this year.
Nintendo lost E3 on a year that everyone else left it open for them to win since last year.
