Man E3 has had a weird kick off (at least for me) this year. Microsoft was super straight forward, RE5 came out of no where and i was super excited about that, I'm glad to see Marathon coming to XBLA, Halo looks great... But where are the future games, I also would have liked Alan Wake, or Fable 2, but all in all I think they did a good job.
Nintendo... I'm still regaining my composure. Ok so Mario Kart with online play, good job, and expected. We now have a better idea on Super Mario Galaxy but at the same time we still dont know alot about it other then you run around planets. Smash brothers... here was it? Ok so it came up for a second or so, but almost nothing??? crazy talk right there. The light gun thing looks kind of neat, as long as they do it right i dont see why that can't be fun or cool. But the big shocker for everyone was there close, Nintendo has a shot for one last big bang to end the E3 press conference, and they end with WiiFitness. *brain explodes* alright, so its yoga, scale, step board, stretch you muscles thing...interesting idea, I wont completely throw out the idea untill i get to play with it for myself.
Last but not least we had Sony. I was very pleased with sony and there conference. The PSP stuff I dont care much for (I'll grab my DS for handheld games) and then they started putting off numbers and i got a little scared, but then they picked right back up and from then on pretty much hit things home. MGS4 is a locked exclusive, UT3 they have timed exclusive (the caught me off guard a bit i figured it would be bigger on PC) Heavenly sword looks great, Drakes fortune looks like tomb raider but way better, and KillZone2 looked nothing like that CG trailer...but holy crap it looked good. When it gets down to it, sony just did a good job at balancing what they showed coming out this year (though alot might not be exclusive) the future games they showed off (alot being exclusive) looked awesome.
So far not a bad start, feels a bit different if you ask me. I think all the companies are still kind of figuring out this new E3 and that had to do with alot of the akward or weird moments. I havent been able to catch alot of the stuff other then some trailers and the press conferences, because i was gone alot today, but i have some catching up time open tommorow. E307 might not be as crazy as other years, but if you ask me...Gamespots still crazy.
