To be fair though, Nintendo's fault with that. Don't show a Zelda tech demo if there isn't anything coming out. Can't help if people were expecting something after they showed the game off at last years E3.Where's this? I must say that there seems to be a lack of visual polish to a lot of the games compared to what's on the PS3/360. Rayman Legends looked a little less visually perfect than Origins.

To be fair though, Nintendo have always had tech demos of Zelda with every system they show off with the games coming years later and looking much much better. I dont think they showed anything that really takes advantage of its power yet, Aliens is supposed to look visually better than the 360 & PS3 versions, how much is the question though. New super Mario WiiU was never going to be a graphical powerhouse so im not fussed with that, because a full 3d Mario is a certainty down the track and i'd rather have a polished game come later than rushed for launch.

Bolded part stood out for me the most, Origins was absolutely beautiful and had some of the best animations and art style graphics ive ever seen. I dont know why they veered away from the art style for legends, it looks cheap compared to origins :(, will still buy because no doubt it'll play the same but its definitely a downgrade in the graphics department for a "follow up"
 
I have a PS3, 360 and Wii. After watching the press conferences I think Sony was the best. I think they have the best lineup of exclusives coming out in comparison to Microsoft. There were hardly any of games in the Microsoft press conference in comparison to Sony. Man, how good does The Last of Us and God of War: Ascension look! I have a lot of doubts with where Nintendo is going with Wii U. I do not think this console is going to sell as well as the Wii as a lot of the casuals are now playing 'casual' games on their smartphones and tablets.

Which is why they have the touchscreen gamepad, they know the audience to go after. Its about using those casual touchscreen gamers and getting them into "proper" games while still using the touchscreen. I would argue that Nintendo started the whole touchscreen casual gaming craze with the DS, sure it existed before it but Nintendo really commercialised it.

I dont think we'll see Wii like numbers but i dont think its going to be a sales slouch either, alot depends on what Sony & MS do with their next systems.

Wii and DS sales are not going well anymore. What makes you think the Wii U numbers are going to be so good? After 6 years things have changed. Getting their next console out first will probably help them but I would like to think that the next Sony and Microsoft console will be 4k which will be in another league in comparison to the Wii U, once again.

I doubt the gap will be anywhere near as big this gen to be honest, for a console to be that much better than the Wii U it would cost far to much to sell well in this industry you'd think.

4k is already being pushed hard. If the next Sony and Microsoft consoles are only capable of 1080p then that would suck when you take into account the life of a console.

It is absolutely their fault if they don't understand what a tech demo is. Especially when Nintendo went to painstaking lengths to emphasise that it was just a tech demo, following the Wind Waker experience.

Plus, we just got Skyward Sword.

Most peoples tvs wouldnt even be able to get an benefits of it wouldnt they?

No. Unless their TV is capable of 4K. They will start to come out this year in the States but will obviously be very expensive and with not much media available take up will be slow. But it is easy to see that is where we are headed if you look at how much someone like Peter Jackson is pushing 4K. So why should the next consoles from Microsoft and Sony do 4K, especially if they are going to be released in 2014/2015?
 
It's been a pretty average E3 so far.

Xbox was absolutly bland apart from Halo, This "Dominant Console in the market" crap they spout is laughable

Nintendo...Thanks for letting us know about what we already knew about the WII U, how about any new infomation?

Sony...Mighty Eh.

Best thing over the whole thing is the south park game..By far

This was the weirdest part for me regarding Nintendo's conference.

Usually E3 has pricing/release date info. I'm pretty sure neither were mentioned? When is this stuff expected? Surely it has to be very, very, very soon?!

There's been a few things. Off the top of my head
  • Sony Smash Bros. on Vita confirmed with crossplay. Also Natahn Drake and Big Daddy confirmed with more 3rd party characters to come
  • LBP integration with LBP 2 on PS3
  • Sound Shapes will be a PSN/Vita release a la Motorstorm RC. Is coming fairly soon (next month?)
  • COD Vita officially named as Black Ops: Declassified, arriving end of this year
  • Assassin's Creed 3: Liberation will have some sort of cross-platform interaction with PS3, also a Assassins's Creed Vita bundle coming out on release (October-ish)
  • PS1 compatibility coming at the end of this month, also Youtube compatibility
Also there's another of the 'Vita heaven' event set for this month sometime in Japan. The previous one unveiled the teaser trailer for Soul Sacrifice and while it wasn't a stunning event overall Sony have said that they will be making "appropriate changes for subsequent instalments".

Cheers mate

The ps 1 titles are enough for me
 
Disappointed in the lack of Vita in the Sony show, i hope some stuff gets revealed this week or they have some big conference of their own coming up soon because it felt like they didnt give a shit about Vita, i mean we had 13 minutes of ****ing wonderbook.

There was literally more blunderbook in Sony's conference than Vita.

So just finished watching Nintendos conference.......zzZZZzzzZZzzz

Pikmin 3 looks good and will buy, NSMwiiU will be good fun, the controller looks good and i cant wait to see what they do with it, Scribblenauts Infinite and ZombiU look interesting and definitely has my attention but the rest were either old multiplats or a continuation of Wii shovelware.

I think the console will sell well, games encouraging the use of wiimotes and nunchucks and if the rumours are true, Wii backwards compatibility, means people can upgrade without having to rebuy a ton of accessories, clever Nintendo, very clever.

Will still buy one for my Nintendo franchise fix but they didnt even give us specs of the console, but hey we got to see Nintendo shovelware land instead :rolleyes:

It was Nintendos E3 to lose and they sadly did by not giving too much info for a console that releases this year, yet still better than Microsofts Halo 4 and an Usher concert. Out of the Big 3 i'd give the nod to Sony just on The Last Of Us and Beyond. Overall though Ubisoft won by quite a large margin.

Time to scour the game sites over the next few days and see what else gets announced, fingers crossed for Vita stuff
 
Lol, 3 months ago I traded in my ps3 towards a brand new vita. Bad call

The good* folks at EB said they'd give me 180.00 for my wifi vita. Prepared to cut my losses for that.

Beautiful little system with **** all games to play. Am I correct in recalling that since the solid launch, there have only been 2 retail releases? One being a port of a 4 year old ps3 game running on a 10 year old ps2 engine, the other being a home brand approximation of a proper console game. Bizarre stuff.

Doubt there's much it will provide in the near future that I can't get from the app store.

Have had a great time with Everybody's Golf, mind. fantastic little game. Other than that I've not rally got along with anything else.

Right now when's the new 3ds coming out?
