I always like Gamespot.com and their coverage. They usually have great sit down interviews with the developers...and lots and lots of gameplay footage. |

Lots of gameplay is good. Do you happen to know what time it starts? I think its June 5th when it starts but the sad thing is I'm still in school on the 5th... |

I watch on GameTrailers/SpikeTV. They usually have a really good feed and are quick to post gameplay trailers and demos. |

Gametrailers for the main stuff + IGN to see some friendly faces (seriously, these guys aren't what a lot of people tend to think. Listen to their podcasts; they're just gamers). Of course, I'll listen to what GiantBomb has to say as well. |

I usually watch G4's coverage. It's honestly the only time of the year when that channel is palatable. |

I have everything on spike set to record on the DVR. Hope all goes well. Can't wait to see what Sony has to say. And hopefully something good from MS that means I can get a 360... |

Halo 4, Tomb Raider, and Resident Evil 6 were my favorite showings so far! All of them looked really excellent, and adding new unknown species to Halo rather than just the covenant seems like it will make that series fresh again Dead Space looked disappointing to me. That video had a Gears of War vibe imo, and it lost that sense of isolation that the first two had. Wish a new Xbox would have been shown :/ Edited by NinjaPenguin8969, Jun 4 2012, 04:58 PM.

I have to admit the Tomb Raider reboot is looking incredible! A nice mix of Uncharted stylings and cinematics with Lara Craft getting beat to shit, yet kickin' ass. Should be fun! |

Tomb Raider is the best thing that I seen. I've been waiting for this game for a long long time and it keeps looking better every time something new pops up. I'm excited for the new Splinter Cell: Blacklist game as well. |

Finally something interesting out of E3! Watch Dogs looks amazing, can't wait to see more and play it! Microsoft and EA were just painfully terrible, as I expected but still sad. Ubisoft was pretty great though. I have high hopes for Sony and Nintendo though. |

Microsoft's conference was eh, but then as many have pointed out, the 360 is winding down now. Big game announcements / new IPs aren't going to be there for the 360 if they're now starting to look to their next console. That said, I hate how the system isn't so much a games console anymore as it is an entertainment centre. I don't mind if their next console has all this connectivity stuff I don't care for, but I sincerely hope it doesn't hinder the system for core gamers as I suspect it might. Basically, Microsoft have me worried. That aside, Tomb Raider is looking so good! EA was standard but some nice stuff shown off. Dead Space 3 looks very action-orientated now but I'm still looking forward to it, though I do wish they'd stuck with the vibe of the first game. Crysis 3 looks great also. Ubisoft has been the highlight for me so far. Rayman Legends looks amazing, and Watch Dogs... holy shit that looks good. |

Watch Dogs was by far the best game I have seen at an E3 conference in years! Put that one on wii U and you got yourself a system seller |

Alright so Sony's conference just ended and I have to say I was quite unimpressed. We had only a few games actually covered during the conference. The only Vita games that were covered were Super Sony Brothers and that crap COD Blackops junk... No Last Guardian... again.... a repeat of Assassin's Creed III (although the boat part was cool)... Again with Farcry 3.... Also, there is no reason to spend 10+ minutes on that stupid Book of Spells! The God of War trailer looked a lot less epic than the GOW III trailer from 2008. The trailer from Beyond looked pretty cool and I did enjoy The Last of Us trailer... Other than those two I really thought it was a piss poor conference from Sony. Clearly Ubisoft stole the show so far this week. Nintendo has an opening tomorrow to really steal the show. Sony and Microsoft have really set them selves up for a beating by Nintendo.

I agree completely with you, thewhitepenny. I had really high hopes for Sony, especially with the Vita just released. They really blew it, not a single meaningful announcement for the Vita. The game demos/trailers did look great, but we already knew about them all. Well, except for Wonderbook. But that demo looked really bad and went on far, far too long. |

I am planing on writing my thoughts on this years E3 press conferences into 6 parts. part 1 will be Microsoft, Part 2 will be Sony, Part 3 will be Nintendo pre E3 Press Confrere, part 4 will be the wii u games which will be reviled tomorrow, part 5 will be Nintendo 3DS games if what I'm hearing is true that the 3DS will have a separate conference on Wednesday, and finally part 6 will cover everything else that gets reviled at E3. I will try to get part 1 up tonight but i have work tomorrow so i might hold it off till tomorrow but i will try my best to get it up tonight and I will post it on this topic. And a little disclaimer before i post these i might say something that you will not like and if you see things differently from me that that's fine i respect your opinion i am not going to judge you if you happen to have a different opinion then me though i may sometimes bash on "bro gamers" If you happen to like or dislike the game i mention then cool.

Sony messed up big, they for the most part said what was already know, and fluffed it with it. The only things of note to me were Beyond Two Souls, and The Last Of Us. Mircrosoft to my knowledge didn't announce much either, Nintendo has a good/easy shoot at being best at this E3. |

My grade for E3 as of right now (pre-Nintendo conference) is a C-. I've been more unimpressed with everything thus far... I can say this... Nintendo is going to determine whether or not I buy a Wii U at launch. Fingers crossed Nintendo... I need some positives from E3 this year! |

Today was quite the day, as I spent it watching press conferences, posting comments on Twitter and writing articles. Microsoft was the biggest disappointment, which is upholding a tradition for them since they completely shat the bed last year as well. I am indifferent to Halo 4 and that Kinect Fable game, but the bright spot was the new Forza game that I actually thought looked good. The SmartGlass and Xbox Music services didn't do it for me either. Ubisoft and Sony stole the show, in my opinion. Getting to see Assassin's Creed III, Far Cry 3, Rayman Legends and Watch Dog was nothing short of fantastic, and Sony brought their A-game by giving us God of War: Ascention and The Last of Us. Other highlights of the day included Tomb Raider gameplay footage and more on Resident Evil 6. Overall, not bad. I think the shows are better when they focus on games rather than gimmicks, so hopefully Microsoft learns this. Tomorrow, we see what Nintendo has to offer... |

OK i managed to complete part 1 and as promised here is My Thoughts on The Microsoft E3 Press Conference Halo 4 looks pretty good but im not sure if this will be enough to get me to re subscribe to Xbox live. I liked the Splinter Cell trailer and i don't know if its me but it seems like he has his equipment from the first three games back which makes me happy. however the question is whether or not this game will also be available on the ps3. (most likely it is) I don't care for EA Sports games so no opinion on those. I’m not going to get fable the journey (or shall i call it fable the rail shooter) because it forces you to use the kinect and it suppose to be an RPG not a shooter. Next up is Gears of War Legend, to tell you the truth I really tried to get into gears of war for the past 6 years and was never interested in it so I am not going to pick that up. Forza Horizon doesn’t look that bad but I want to try it before I buy. Microsoft announces Xbox Music but if i wanted to download music I would use itunes. ESPN, NBA, NHL, and Nickelodeon my XBOX!! HURRAY!!! I always wanted to have these channels on my Xbox despite the FACT THAT I CAN GET THOSE SAME CHANNELS THROUGH CABLE!! Seriously if I ever wanted to watch sports or nickelodeon i can pick up the remote and watch tv through my cable provider. Then Microsoft starts to talk about navigating the xbox using voice commands (where are the games?) Then after that they reveal smartglass which is essentially similar to the wii u tablet except its connected to a windows phone or an IOS device or whatever. While it seems to provide information about a game that is currently playing it seems to be geared towards the “entertainment” part of the Xbox rather then the “gaming” part of the Xbox. Then we get Nike Fitness Plus, Not interested After a half an hour of “entertainment” we finally get back to games that actually use a controller. And three games were reveled the first game up is Ascend New Gods, the trailer is not bad but need more info. Next game is LocoCycle, it might be interesting but again need more info, and the final game is… I forgot what it was called but it looked a little like portal and just like the last two I need more info Tomb raider looks cool I really liked the bow and arrow and the waterfall part. Then we are treated to a trailer to Resident Evil 6, Looks pretty good but I don’t really approve of capcoms latest business methods but I’d rather not get into it right now. Next game shown is South Park the turn based RPG which looks appealing and really funny. I also like the fact that Trey Parker and Matt Stone came out on stage and made fun of the smartglass. Now we are almost at the end and Dance Central 3 is announced, Surprise Surprise. However this is where the conference went to it’s low point and that is Usher. He talks about dancing then all of a suddenly he performs on stage. Now this is the point where I am going to go on a rant. WHY is usher performing at E3!!! If I am not Mistaken E3 is supposes to showcase video games that haven’t come out yet and here is usher performing a lip synced pop song and the performers are obviously not standing in front of the kinect. This was a waste of time and this time could have been better spent showcasing the halo 4 multiplayer gameplay. But all that aside im not interested in Dance Central 3. Now we have come to the climax of the press conference and the biggest game to show off is Call of Duty Black Ops 2. Really it had to be black ops 2 you couldn’t of traded places with halo 4? But my thoughts is it looks like the single player looks like the same old Michael bay inspired story. I am hoping I may here about something that may change my mind about black ops 2 but since I am someone that thinks call of duty is overrated it is going to take a lot to convince me. Overall while it is not as bad as the past two years it is still apparent that Microsoft has mostly forgotten about the hardcore gamers and is putting a bigger emphases on casual games and people that only use the system for anything that is not gaming and i wish that Microsoft would at least try to appeal to people that prefer to use a controller besides using sequals/prequals to fill in the void. I admit this is a lot but i really wanted to get all my thoughts out and if i managed to miss a game or feature please ask me and i will be happy to provide you with my opinion. I will try to put part 2 up tomorrow so see you then. Edited by bstrong7890, Jun 4 2012, 11:25 PM.

Assassins Creed 3 was absolutely stunning. Ubisoft had a great showing, and the extra AssCreed 3 footage shown at Sony's conference was just icing on the cake. Really like the direction they took that franchise since I was getting sick of it tbh. I enjoyed it up until Brotherhood, but I have yet to play more than 30 minutes of Revelations since it felt the same as Brotherhood :/ |

E3 so far has been pretty uninspiring without too many big suprises. The Last of Us, Beyond Last Souls and Watch Dogs look good. |
