Okay cool~ Though I did dedicate a separate E3 topic with specific focus on SS~ ^^
I can't comment on Ubisoft or EA, (though Ubisoft's hasn't started yet actually) but Microsoft did....okay, no better or no worse. They showcased several games that I think caught people's attention such as Mass Effect 3, the new Tomb Raider, Halo Anniversary (and Halo 4 apparently) Ghost Recon, RYSE...there were others too but I'll stop there.
While they emphasized features such as a voice commands, entertainment with live TV and YouTube, finger tracking and object scanning....there was nothing really new to announce. Not that I was really expecting them to announce a new console, but they did play it pretty safe.
And concerning the voice commands, I am not actually sure how much of a good idea that is. Some people might like to play at night while others are sleeping...it would become a pain to have to use voice commands to get anything done.
Now then, they focused a lot on Kinect understandably, and it looks like they're emphasizing support for it in new games. I think they did a fairly good job showcasing some of the demos...while not so great on others. Probably what left me a weak impression with some of them though was the over-exaggerated acting in the "family-friendly" ones. Although,
Disneyland Adventures surprised me for being there in the first place....
I think it was decent overall, but not particularly a conference to leave a really lasting impression. I think it'll be between Sony and Nintendo to see who will be making the more impressionable reveals (though I have my bets on Nintendo~!
)
