[PPOTW #32] Who had the best E3?

[VMM]

Even if you disregard 1/2 those votes, Nintendo is still winning in the polls. Even some haters outside this community
says it was a good conference.

If you repeat this poll for the next 30 years, the result will always be the same.

It showed nothing about the game? Link

So what? It was in-game footage, but doesn't change the fact it was just a CGI that doesn't show actual gameplay.

Haters gonna hate.

I think Twillight Princess is by far the most realistic Zelda game we ever had.
I also wish they had used a similar look to TP or something more realistic.
I've seen many people saying Nintendo franchises shouldn't go realistic, and that wouldn't fit them,
but there are some franchises were I think it would be perfectly aceptable, like Zelda, Metroid, Fire Emblem and Xenoblade.

When I say I hated WW's look.... It makes me want to punch Link in the face. Supposed to be a great game, but I literally hate it too much so I never played it. The new one looks OK and I might buy it, but still I can't help but think I would have liked it more.

Even if you feel that way, that still doesn't invalidate certain people opinions.

So what? It was in-game footage, but doesn't change the fact it was just a CGI that doesn't show actual gameplay.

Producer Eiji Aonuma has taken to the Nintendo Miiverse to address this point directly. “Many people from the media kept asking me if the footage from the new Zelda game for Wii U is just a promotional movie, but that really is actual gameplay on Wii U,” Aonuma assures. “Also, I wasn’t kidding about how you will be able to reach the mountains that appear in the distance if you should choose to!”

I see you complaining about WW look, and I tought:
What would he say after seeing the CDi games:

If I could travel back in time ala Terminator...... Lol Holy Shit every time I see those they make my teeth hurt.

Dude, when did I say it was an invalid opinion?! There is no such thing.
Saying that would be like: You say chocolate tastes awful, but that's an invalid opinion because I like it.
See, it doesn't work that way.

I think there might be a confusion about this.
That first screenshot that was shown by Eji Aonuma, I believe that is an actual gameplay.
But that trailer, that's an CGI animation, that's for sure. It may happen in-between gameplay parts,
but anybody that have played games would be able to reckon that as not been gameplay.

I remember one scene from one of those CDi games, where link goes all naughty hitting on Zelda,
and I'm like: Oh my god, what they did to you Link? They ruined my childhood hero. Now I understand why Nintendo never gave a voice to Link

I actually played those turds.... I tried all the CDi games at Radio Shack, most of them sucked so bad.

 

[p3rand0r]

with all the games Nintendo showed i think Nintendo wins by a good margin.
This time Nintendo heard the fans and actually showed some great title for the fans like a new zelda game and starfox
And some great new titles like Splatoon (looking forward to it )
But Sony was good too

Pretty much what it getting, especially from Nathan Drake. This site (supposing) has overwhelming bias,
therefor I'm right about this E3.

Think you are complicating things. Even if you say "in-between gameplay", it's still gameplay.
I mean, it's not like they can't control the camera like they did in Mario Kart 8.
Even if you say "CGI animation" it still represents the game. Really don't think he would say
gameplay without that being the case. Let me put it this way, I believe that was all running in-engine.

 

[FAST6191]

Seriously, even I got to start saying this. If this site is such a "overwhelmingly biased website", why are you even here?

There was once this console called the GBA, it had lots of great games from all sorts of developers. Nintendo then unveiled its "three pillars" strategy (we are discussing good and bad E3 presentations after all) and that got us the DS. After a shaky start we eventually saw good games and good hacks, GBAtemp then saw most of its competition die and otherwise became the place to go for DS ROM hacks.
Though Nintendo pissed most of it away with the 3ds and in some cases a lot of the Wii, along with a lot of whatever did their few good first party efforts, GBAtemp morphed into something more general. Along the way it also gained a few fellow cynical bastards, many with slightly differing game histories and lines of logic to my own which helps this to be something other than an echo chamber, and the level is high enough that we can still routinely hold a good conversation. Sure there is the background noise issue but that often provides some good humour.

That's actually a good post/answer. Still don't think it as bias as those guys are making it, tho.

We're the forum that voted the N64 above the PS1 and had a very close vote between the Gamecube and the PS2. Plus, I mean, the site is called GBAtemp, not "Non-company specific Handheldtemp."

There's nothing wrong with people here generally preferring Nintendo (except for them being wrong), but it's silly to deny that it's there.

If you want to consider that way, Uncharted 4 trailer is probably a gameplay, since it was taken directly from the PS4,
and may be in-between gameplay. I'm not complicating stuff, you're the one trying to say it's something it's not.

 

[TheDarkSeed]

I think in my honest opinion, Sakurai had the best E3.

 

[Patxinco]

I think we need some Foxi4 "Console Wars" to debate this seriously xD

By the way, i liked Nintendo presentation, due to his relaxed pace of showing off the games (i personally loved when Iwata and Reggie fought not real, you know what i mean)
Nintendo showed at last the Xenoblade Chronicles X and a bit of his story, and almost everything was gameplay, Splatoon is a pretty nice idea, soo Nintendo won for me.

Edit: Why CDi is discussed in every thread? let her RIP and let's go for another thing...

 

[codezer0]

Microsoft had two notable strikes against it.

• They started off the presentation showing off Call of Duty as a new IP ... again. Honestly, the only people that even care to see anything about CoD now are retailers and the 12-year-olds that make up their entire audience now. The franchise had something good with the first Modern Warfare, and quickly became the epitome of stupid since.
• So instead of addressing BC at all, Xbox One people will instead get the Master Chief Collection... of which the only game even somewhat playable out of the lot is the first one. Oh, and 4000 gamerscore... for what?

The preview for Sunset Overdrive was a lot of fun,l and had me interested. Other than that, nothing else really jumped out as worth getting an Xbone for, and certainly not one with Kinect.

Sony, of course, being their typical arrogant selves again.

• Uncharted 4... when Drake finally dons his Klan robes like it's his birthright. Whoop-de-doo.
• Oh, yay, Last of us on PS4
• Beta access is cool... until you realize this just means you're playing the game in its most awful and buggy state.
• Nevermind that more crashing PS4's means more replacement PS4's that have to be made when they all break.

And for all the gab from Sony trying to support the Vita, it seemed non-existent at their show. Sorry, but I just don't have any motivation for LBP3. Even so, the biggest thing keeping me away from any new Sony products is how they treated me in the past, and the fact that I'll probably end up having to get an in-store replacement plan so as to not be out of pocket for five or six to find one that will actually work.

Partnering for a Robot Chicken style for the Nintendo presentation was... amusing, if only briefly. At least none of the sketches dragged on. Nintendo had every right to hype up Smash brothers, but I still don't see the appeal of Amiibo. Then again I never saw the appeal of Skylanders or Disney Infinity either. Splatoon actually does look rather cool. Annoying that there was next to nothing about third party stuff.

I can't vote for any of them, simply because there wasn't anyone with anything truly deserving of an award.

What in the dilly damn fuck do you mean only one will be playable? :|
They're all going to be playable with EVERY fucking multiplayer map, EVERY original halo level from EVERY game, playlists for the games, why do you even need Backwards comparability when you have fully remastered Halo at 60 FPS 1080p..?
And 4000 Gamerscore is 1000 for each game.
Yknow
1000 for halo 1
1000 for halo 2
1000 for halo 3
1000 for halo 4
Wow
Can't believe It
How did I not see dat

Careful, codezer0. GBAtemp's collectibles enthusiast might just kill you with a hail of kaiju and Halo figurines. ;O;
