I dont know how e3 went... So tell me how did it go?
-
I say all of them. Some great announcements all around for all 3. It should be noted, there\'s still another day left...
-
IT\'s not over, is it? I was udner the impression is talstesd for at least a coupel of days. Newho, I thinkg they all looked stong, mostly PS2 and GC though.
-
I think sony won.
The reason I think this is because even though it is 2 years old almost, it held its own with TWO yet to be released platforms who have been hoarding news, just for release at E3.
I think people were thinkin sony was going to do terrible and they ended up showing great games like Jak and Dakster and THPS3 ONLINE(!) SOCOM and so many more.
-
Too hard to tell, but it seems like sony and nintendo had most of the big news.
Still a day left isnt there?
-
Yesterday, I would of said Microsoft, infact I think I did. But after downloading more videos of the GC and watching tons of TechTV / Silcon Spin, I have to say Nintendo won it hands down. They had plenty of announcements, games to show, and everything went smooth, and even after all that was announced, there is alot more, including the price of the GC to be shown / announced in August at SpaceWorld. For those factors, Nintendo totally dominated E3.
There really wasn\'t much Sony could do. They was up against two new consoles, which took all the media from them. Still, announcements on the HD or something would of been nice. I\'m starting to think of the HD as \'vaporware\'.
-
I went neutral
GC had some sweet looking stuff although not alot of it. A couple of games definelty peaked my interest , but Nintendo 1st party still doesn\'t do alot for me. But can\'t deny the fact that the games just looked very nice in the graphics department
The PS2 had alot of it, Buying an XBox or a GC in November does sound like a possibility with about 20 "I Want" games being released for the PS2 at around or about the same time
Sony also had the largest variety of games
Xbox although it tripped over its own feet somewhat it still had the prettiest graphics. I do need to see some of these Xbox games actually in gameplay but some of those screens has shown alot of people hgow much graphical power the Xbox will have. Yet I\'m sure a few of you want it to fail. I have to say so far I\'m in for an Xbox
-
Sony won, sure
-
Both these machines are stealing the show for me.
Nintendo...too kidie I think
5 - 12 age group from the look of their games and you will be hard pressed to find a gamecube game with any blood shed.
PS2 - Still angry that after two years we still dont have real quality games.
I know they are coming now but two years to wait is a joke.
Just wish developers got their ass in to gear 2 years ago and produced the games on launch.
If im honest I think the games for PS2 launch were crap.
Only one stood out and showed quality...SSX
XBOX - Looks like they are going to capitalise on PS2 duff launch of games and release some great games, graphicaly anyway.
This is what anoys me !
Developers given the xbox with less timescale then PS2 had and producing stunning games like project gotham racing etc.
To choose a winner of the console war would be between PS2 and XBOX.
And PS2 now eventually having great games GT3 + MSG2 its going to be close
-
What do you mean after 2 years,still no quality games,have you not seen some of the games comming out this year,what is that called errrrrrrr GT3 yes thats it,And that other one Devil May Cry,Final Fantasy,Red fraction,MGS2,i can keep going if you want me to,i think soon you will have all the quality software you want.
And from the reports i have read,Xbox had a few problems in the fram rate department,and now all i keep hearing from other boards is that Xbox will blow the roof off the next show,what i thought that Xbox was going to do that at E3,i know it wasnt the final hardware,but i didnt hear sony keep making this excuess every 5 seconds.
And i thought that the ps2 launch was ok SSX,MADDEN,Timesplitters(all pretty fun for me)then onimusha,star wars star fighter,and other games)in the last couple of months.
And the reason you are seeing better graphics on the Xbox,is because it is not a new design,on the insides,that has been used before on PC,but the PS2 has new insides,and you wait till,they fully start getting the power out of the ps2,it will hold it\'s own against the Xbox no problem,just like it is doing at the moment.

2 years??????? it just came out in the US last october....what planet are you from? maybe in Japan almost a year..........it came out there in January 2000 I believe....correct me if I am wrong
-
the games will come, they are, and nintendo hasnt announced anything that intrests me, x box\'s halo is really cool though.. ill just get it on pc.:)
actually correct that, rogue squadron intrests me, but one game on a console isnt enough for me to get it.
oh yeah 1 more post till 500, but hey, im gonna wait till 700 before i get my pic.

How many games interested you at the PS2 launch? Just wondering.
-
Sony and Nintendo took E3, easily.
-
Ps2 hasn\'t been out for 2 years...it\'s only been out for 8 months in the US, and about a year in Japan.
-
Sofar the most impressive thing Ive seen from E3 are the Halo videos - covenant corpses raining down moments after a grenade sends them skywards - its a shame that gamers are going to have to wait some time before being able to pick it up for the PC (for format which will offer the best opportunities for proper online play with it) ahh well, until then its a very good reason to pickup a XBox. As for the other formats not that much has impressed me at E3, Ive yet to see any footage for the main PS2 titles I was hoping for and not that much for the GC at all, hopefully after E3s all wound up and the various press members get back to work proper we might get to see some of the cooler stuff which wasnt in the limelight.

I think Sony won the show! Nintendo made a good impression. :D
-
well, looks like sony is the winner in this poll, no surprise of course since this is a ps2 forum
-
I\'m suprised that so many people say Nintendo won E3 at all, in any forum / media... besides graphics... Now, as far as showing NEW stuff, of course they won... But Sony surely won with pure numbers of original high quality titles.
Nintendo\'s showing was a disappointment, in my view, because they made so many decisions like Sega made last generation... Shifting titles like Star Fox to other developers, making their next \'Mario\' game, not a platformer at all, and having countless N64 clones...
MS\'s showings were quite weak IMO, it sounds like quite a few things were downgraded, and the hardware isn\'t final? C\'mon MS, another delay will hurt you bad.
Anyways, Sony had a lot of good titles at the show like MGS2, Jak and Daxter, Baldur\'s Gate DA, Red Faction, TMB, GT3, Klonoa 2, Herdy Gerdy, WipEout Fusion, Stuntman, Aliens Colonial Marines, Maximo, Tony Hawk 3, Madden, SSX Tricky, Devil May Cry, Spy Hunter, and Smuggler\'s Run 2, it\'s hard to argue with numbers like that I think... (not saying numbers are what matters, to me all of those look like quite possible AAA titles)
-
I dont really know i liked xbox\'s show the best???
all of them, but xbox did very well for me
-
I think sony won the show big time!!! :D and they have a good chance winning the console war with games like gt3, mgs2, ffx, the getaway. etc...

um, i wanted to get ps2 because i knew of the great gaming future of the system.. this BY ALL MEANS does not make me write off other systems.. i may even buy them all!!:D
-
PS2, IMO. BG, FFX etc. just cannot be beat. I would have been disappointed with the Xbox\'s showing were it not for the insanely good "Ego". I just couldn\'t get hyped about Nintendo and the Luigi game was hopelessly repetitious.
-
PS2 easily rulesd the show, followed by GC, and way behind was the Box or X
-
PS2 has won the Show!
-
Sony, because no only did they take most of the attentin away from the Nintendo Microsoft rift, but the managed to wow the crowds and stunn quite a few people (MGS2 movie for example)....
On a whole all of the consoles are equal
what Nintendo out doing Microsoft with the launch date
Microsoft steeling some PS2 titles
And
Sony grabbing E3.
Ah alll fair in love and COnsole WARs
-
After seeing footage of the Xbox games I was a little dissapointed. I really think GC did the best in balancing graphical capabilities. And seeing what I have so far just gets me so excited to see Mario and Zelda at space world. PS2 in had the biggest quantity of blockbuster games, which will all be coming close to the launch of the other 2 boxes. While Xbox is a dissapointment to me, I\'ll still pick one up if I have the money. They did show quite a few exclusive titles, though some of them may not remain so. Over all I tie PS2 & GC, and Xbox a totally decent second.

He was pointing out that plenty of people buy a console for one game.
At least that is how I took it, in a over generalized manner.
-
I would say X-box and Playstation2 won. X-box because it\'s new. PS2 probably because they are waiting to see what is new with it.
