Bethesda's conference was pretty good for their first offering, no really big surprises though. Doom was looking pretty good but not my sort of game. I'll get Fallout and Dishonoured in like a few years time when the game of the year editions are out and on sale…
The Nintendo World Championship was okay. I thought the Smash tournament last year was pretty good too but a little rough around the edges. This year it seemed even rougher. They really could do with getting better production values. But the Mario Maker finale made the whole show.
Xbox and Ubisoft shows were solid too. Although it did feel like I had accidently watched the same conference as last year with all the Division and Rainbow 6 stuff. The backwards compatibility thing really caught my eye for Xbox. That's really appealing to me depending on how many titles they can get to use it.
So the Shenmue and FF7 rumours were true after all. I'm so glad now I'll never have to hear about them again.
The Sony one overall was alright too but I expected something more I guess but I don’t know what. Maybe some more Morpheus stuff? The holo lens demo Microsoft had was pretty awesome. Although I did like the Uncharted bit at the end. It was so good you had to see it twice.
Oh and EA what a bore. I already know going into it that 50% is going to be sports but Christ. The Battlefront stuff at the end almost made up for it.
