[QUOTE="laughingman42"]Their press conference was for the press, not gamers. It's the stupid new E3, but we do know that the games are coming. People act like because they didnt talk about those games means that those games no longer exist. Maybe they will redeem themselves at E for All.streak000

Exactly. As far as the retailers, investers, and media are concerned, Nintendo stole the show.

If I were an investor, I would be worried about the lack of upcoming games from the game console company I invested in. If I was a retailer, I would also be disappointed at the lack of announced games or anything particularly marketable. That Music thing is an absolute joke. And you are dead wrong about the media feeling that Nintendo stole the show. Find me one article from any outlet that states "Nintendo steals show" or even "A great conference from Nintendo", and I will admit to being wrong.

The truth is, it was an absolutely horrid conference by any standard.

Are you serious? You're blind if you think Wii Music and Wii Sports Resort are going to sell poorly.

They'll sell, but only because of the Nintendo brand and the vast number of people who own the console. They are such unexciting (and in the case of Wii Music, atrocious) products, that I can't see them attracting much praise. I don't think they'll sell anywhere near as well as the first Wii Sports or Wii Fit, for example.

I could be wrong, but the general consensus seems to be that Nintendo's conference was very poor. They seem to be resting on their laurels, rather than actually innovating or bringing out great games. I can't imagine that any secton of the audience would have been particularly impressed with that presentation.

for their target audience, wii sports resort and wii music are incredibly exciting. this is why theyll sell by the truckload. remember, the target audience for these games dont go to media outlets to see ratings of games to see if they will buy them. they buy on name and impulse. this is why wii has had more software sales than the other two big names: the audience is eating up everything, regardless of the 'hardcore' definition of 'quality'. remember, investors dont care about you. they dont care about quality. they care about money, and wii sports resort and wii music are going to make ALOT of money, arguably more than any 'core' game could possiby hope to achieve on the wii.

thats not to say i wasnt disappointed by the lack of some juicy new announcements, but business is business.

- Metal Gear Solid IV (PS3): A [Jeremy Parish] A- [Crispin Boyer] B+ [Milkman]

Pros: refined gameplay, interesting story

Cons: more cutscenes than gameplay!

so unexpected *shocked gasp* :shock:

-Why even give the opportunity to find tons of missles and health power-ups is they're made 100% worthless in the end?

Dreams-Visions

so you can see samus without her powersuit of course. giggety.

[QUOTE="edeasknight"]80% cutscenes, 20% gameplay confirmed :PTreyoftheDead

I really hope you are just being sarcastic. :?

not joking really, considering out of that 13 minutes of 'gameplay footage', the only gameplay in the entire movie was alot of stalling to dodge and look at the pretty metal gears doing stuff and taking random pot shots at them even though all you need to do is walk from point A to point B.

granted its just the intro, and my comment was a fun and light hearted (and, ironically, a semblence of truth :P) joke at the MGS series in general, but still, you cant disprove me in any way that that video isnt super heavy on cutscene and super light on gameplay :P
