E3 2013 Press Conferences

[KingVamp]

Erm, the controller is just a traditional controller with a touchscreen, this doesn't radically change gameplay, and you just cherry-picked two titles with one not even released yet.
Nobody's interested in it because it had a horrible launch and has no games, E3 will focus on Nintendo's biggest titles.

I do agree that VMM has this fix bias mindset about Nintendo or at least this/their console and cherry-picking games and not looking at games that are on and coming to the console, but I believe the launch was good, but it wasn't consistent afterwards (at least with non-indie devs), especially with EA's fallout with Nintendo. I also feel people are over exaggerating Wii u situation. To me, the gamepad makes everything more streamline.

err... I could ramble about bit more, but back on topic.

I'm split between Nintendo and Sony.

So apparently it's not confirmed, but it's not hard to put 2 and 2 together based on what we know here.

Ubisoft says that it's being developed for high end PC and next generation consoles first, including the Wii U, and that they're developing the current gen version later.

Also it's running on the Wii U right now. So why would they say they're working on the next gen version first, and have it running on Wii U first, if the Wii U can't handle the next gen version? Obviously it's set to get the next gen version in that case.

Like I said, it's not hard to put 2 and 2 together in this case.

The Wiiu might handle them now but it won't be long until it can't anymore.

I think that's the most likely scenario, yes. But even then, it's not a foregone conclusion.

Tl; dr Nintendo (will be) DOOOOOOOOOOOOOMEDDDDDDD!!!

Anyone watched this guy's stuff before? He's like the exact opposite of Pachter.

I was sitting on the gametrailers stream for the xbone presentation and they had one of his videos on it.... could not hit the mute button fast enough.

I've only watched two or thee videos, seems like he knows his stuff. Unlike other people on GT or similar sites he does bring up some interesting point whether you like the personality/jokes or not.
Watch the the xbone vid, it sums up the feelings people had about it without being bashful or biased.

Not sure if old news, but
Sakurai confirms Smash Bros. video for E3 2013 Nintendo Direct

Could someone explain to me why Ninty will have a better E3 than Microsoft or Sony? Didn't Ninty confirm their E3 wasn't going to be bells and whistles whilst the other two could very well reveal new information on their new consoles?

Maybe they are anticipating one of those "at least it was not as bad as ?" situations. There is a fair historical precedent for such a thing as well.

Because they have the most to prove right now with the Wii U's future and all. They never said that their E3 wasn't going to be "all bells and whistles" but rather that they would be using a Ninty Direct to replace the traditional E3 conference.

 

[Taleweaver]

Hey, everyone: I'm not hosting a big event at E3 neither. Can I be added to the poll options, and will you all vote for me?


On a more serious note...I think it'll be either sony or ubisoft. I honestly can't see how microsoft can recover from that pre-presentation fiasco. At best, it'll be damage control and crushing fake rumors. But sony better shows some interesting games, because I doubt "more of the same" is going to cut it.

 

[KingVamp]

Guys, really? When people say Nintendo e3, you obviously know they mean the direct. This "not going to e3" or whatever is getting old.

There's more to the controller than "just a traditional controller with a touchscreen". It packs a lot of motion-tracking hardware allowing the gamepad to move around in freespace and know exactly where it has moved (similar to the technology you'd see in a virtual reality head-mounted display), and how fast it has moved, making the second screen do much more than a stationary screen.

 

[Wizerzak]

Ubisoft will have the best presentation in my opinion. They've got some great games lined up for the future (especially Watch Dogs) and last year's did not disappoint.

(Wow was that a whole year ago or some other event when they showed the first clips of Watch Dogs, feels like a few months.)

Well, you know what I mean. 2 symmetrical analog sticks, a D-Pad, ABXY buttons, Start and Select, Bumper and Trigger buttons, and a Power button. These have pretty much become a staple of any modern controller.

Oh, I gotcha. You're just pointing out that despite the different extra features, it still has the "standard" controller as a base, making it easy to work with unlike the Wiimote which was completely differently laid out.

it's not a touch screen, it's a touchpad, much like the one in the PS Vita.

Are you talking about the Wii U gamepad? If so and you are serious, you are clearly wrong.

I kinda read that comment alone, and thought he was talking about the PS4 controller
