Overall thoughts on E3, which I missed because of being on vacation/holiday [I also missed Game of Thrones & Hannibal, bloody hell]: it was okay, but really lacked for handhelds, no new Vita games were announced, no new 3DS games were announced; neither of them got any real coverage either.
Conferences:
Nintendo Direct - disappointing.
Sony - Barely okay, thanks to the DRM/used games and FFXIV & FFXV. They annoyed me with the lack of Vita games though.
Microsoft - below average, aside from MGSV.
EA - crap.
Konami's pre-E3 show - worst conference they've ever done.
Ubisoft - Splinter Cell! Don't care about the rest.
Square Enix - A second trailer for FFXV? Yes please. Aside from that? Meh.
Overall: Too many remakes/reboots, sequels, prequels, midquels, racing games and not enough new IPs for my liking [come at me if you disagree though]. I will be sticking it out with my PS3/handhelds for a good while longer, I think. And where was Drakengard 3? Announce the localization, Square, come on. And SEGA, hurry it up with Yakuza 5 & Phantasy Star Online 2 for Vita... :sad:
And to top it all off, ATLUS are in financial trouble (possibly being shut down due to lying about their finances). Which is a real downer.
X,Bayonetta 2 and FFXV and Mega Man in SMash Bros was enough for me to really enjoy E3 this year.
As for Vita still have Muramasa and Ys IV. If Atlus thing works out then Dragons Crown. Personally look forward to Sonic on 3DS this year and Project Z Zone this month. X is easily my most wanted game. Was game of E3 for me. MS conference was so awkward and boring I quit watching at some point and left to do errands..I just no longer cared. I thought Sony had a strong showing but agree needed more Vita.
