That button placement. Not a proper Nintendo console if there isn't something awkward as fuck about the controller.

[PureYeti]

Haha yea agreed. I just hope the dpad is pretty good in fighting games. I don't think I ever used a right thumbstick for anything in nintendo games

Nathan Drake and Big Daddy possibly in the Playstation All Stars Battle Royal.

Xbox Live Conference is live

http://www.twitch.tv/gamespot

[PureYeti]

Microsoft conference is worse than last year. Some of the games I was happy to see but everyone have their own taste. Sea of sequels and thats it

http://www.gametrailers.com/netstorage/e3/live.html e3 interviews

[Mikel]

I hope Sony's conference won't be bad, as I am excited to see if the Kingdom Hearts: Remembrance rumor is true and who will be in All-Stars Battle Royale.

EDIT: EA Conference - http://e3.gamespot.com/press-conference/ea-e3/

Microsoft conference is worse than last year. Some of the games I was happy to see but everyone have their own taste. Sea of sequels and thats it

If it wasnt for the ad in the corner saying "2012", I'd swear I was just watching all last years announcements again.

EA maybe total BASTARDS. But once again theyre the only people just presenting their presser as "Brief intro. Game, Brief intro. Game, Brief intro. Game etc"
God forbid one of the Big 3 follows their lead.

[TheDuskwalker]

Only somewhat good part of the MS conference was when Trey and Matt came out for the South Park RPG, and immediately mocked the SmartGlass presentation.

Gears of War 1.3 Judgement, it's like the other Gears game, but you now play as Baird, yippie.... Also glad they waited till after the conference to show actual game footage. Who wants to see actual game footage at a game event when you can listen to Usher be untalented? Foza Horizon, it's open world Project Gotham Racing and you can challenge other racers by honking your horn like in Midnight Club, you go MS! Halo 4, it's Halo but with a new enemy type, and the enemy of the past games that you defeated, teamed up with to stop the greater enemy, and at the end made peace with are the enemy again that you may eventually team up with to stop the new enemy type, WHAT A TWIST! So to sum it up...

If it wasnt for the ad in the corner saying "2012", I'd swear I was just watching all last years announcements again.

YEAH!

As for EA. Hey Capcom I think EA stole your lost planet (those lost planet monsters sure look cooler after necromorfication), and your idea of ruining horror game tention with co-op.

Going back to MS, since they showed several games, just none was actually first party or exclusive (awww that's kind of sad).

Tomb Raider looked suprisingly interesting. Sure it's basically Uncharted but with more gameplay elements, but looks like it could be potentially more fun to me.

Resident Evil has finally went full linear shooter with overblown set pieces. *yawn*

Splinter Cell Blacklist looks like a better Conviction.

Anyway Ubisoft's has started, and began with a musical performance full of untalented fun......the audience seemed pissed. Then awkward host banter, and now Far Cry 3, YAY!

[RedHurricane24]

Microsoft showed up some stinkers in Halo 4 and Gears. And then there's Black Ops II... a damn rip-off of Ghost Recon Future Soldier, but without any of the finesse.

[TheDuskwalker]

Ubisoft's Watch Dogs doesn't look too bad.

[PureYeti]

All the list of games were great. Watch Dog definitely stole the show. DO THAT SHIT

[Shiki Orochinagi]

"Halo 4" E3 2012 Campaign Gameplay - Walkthrough

Maybe the best of Microsoft's conference, even the dude who was playing the COD Black Ops 2 part was bored and shot randomly at the end

[TheDuskwalker]

The Last of Us was really only thing that caught me at Sony's conference (though I bet Heavy Rain fans are uber excited). It looked nice.

God of War Ascension, it's the same game we played 2 years ago (now with more color) in the same area from a game from 7 years ago, but with forced multiplayer making it shorter, woopie!

There seemed to be a whole lot fucks not given for Wonderbook. Dead crowd was dead, and the presentation for that game just kept going and going. Only cheers I remembered hearing for it was when the game decided to properly work and so the audience thought it was about over, but it was not.

[Eddie]

Ubisoft's Watch Dogs doesn't look too bad.

Doesn't look too bad? You nuts?!

For me it already won E3 this year. I'm going to pre-order this one, it looks amazing.
