Thought it was an excellent conference. They just dropped game after game which was nice to see with a lot of them being exclusives.

Dead Rising 3 and RYSE in particular looked amazing with Sunset Overdrive and Project Spark also looking good.

Technical issues aside, it was a solid 8/10 conference for me.

£429 price tag is a little on the steep side but I wouldn't have ever been getting one at launch, anyway.

I don't know about that.

It was an impressive amount of exclusive (or console exclusive) content.

If the Titanfall stuff hadn't leaked that would have been a huge surprise at the end. Still pretty important.


I agree but E3 is as much about over the top OMG BETRAYALATON!!!!!!!!!!! type moments of which there were none. MGS5 as Xbox exclusive would have been with it just for the criac, but alas no Internet meltdowns.

It is still easily the best conference in years.

I'm probably going to plump for a PS4 but there's certainly some food for thought with some of the comments in here.

Wont be paying that for it though. Awful lot of money.

Imagine the PS4 will be about the same.

Quick Conversion

$499 = £320 and some American are whinging.

IMagine if it was $668.55 as that's what £429 is.

BULLSHIT.

I keep saying this, but remember that US price is without a sales tax added on. So its actually £384 if you add 20% VAT.

Yeah its still more expensive here by close to £50, but its nowhere near as big a difference as you might think.

Someone on that annoying Gametrailers Live Chat tried to say that Microsoft had just announced a new Banjo Kazooie but i'm guessing t was just bullshit. :x

Well Microsoft have said they'll have more stuff to show at Gamescom so i'd say they've probably shown off maybe 10-12 of those 15 exclusives?

Crimson Dragon is now Xbox One exclusive. D4 is published by MS studios so probably exclusive at least for a while.

Don't want to be murdered in PS4 threadlike Hugo. Erm, so, I think I prefer the Xbox One conference, after all gaming is my hobby and they showed more games, and more exclusive ones as far as I can gather.
