The new consoles have been revealed and there is so much bullshit surrounding them and so many arguing fanboys on the internet that it's kind of killed my excitement. Don't get me wrong, I'm going to watch it and get just as excited or angry as everyone else, but right now my hype levels are fairly minimal.
That said, I thought I'd just give my current feelings about the major players there (Nintendo, Microsoft, Sony) and sort of what I'm expecting from their press conferences.
NINTENDO!
As far as I know, Nintendo aren't doing a major press conference this year. This is sort of a good thing because maybe that will allow them to focus on making some actual fucking games for the WiiU that I want to buy so I have an excuse to drop money on one.
SONY!
They sort of got it right with their reveal, at least more right than Microsoft did. I'm fully expecting that we'll here more social networking bullshit and all that crap but I'm also expecting to see some games and hopefully they'll reveal something that will make me bounce up and down and squeal. Sony is the company I'm sort of putting all my hopes into this year so if these guys fuck up this conference I'll be rather disappointed. Also I'm hoping the Vita gets some love at E3 too this year as Japan has quite a good selection of games on the shelves now but I'm hearing that things are a little bland still in the UK. Hopefully some of those fancy Japanese games get a localisation
MICROSOFT!
Fuck em', quite frankly. The reveal was such a massive flop that unless they have some of the greatest games I have ever seen in my entire life, I don't care. We can hope they show some of those exclusives they brushed over but at this point I'm more interested in hearing them justify the post-reveal mess they made with all the news of used game fees and always online. Right now, I couldn't really give any less fucks about Microsoft or the Xbox One, but there is still a chance the conference may bring me round, although I really doubt it.
