All three conference posts are now up and I just got the ton of posts for the games to do now, before I jump into that though I though it be nice to do a post about what I thought in the end of E3 this year. I have to admit this year lost a lot of the spark for me, every year I'm usually jumping off the wall for the entire week then the second week just none stop talking about what we saw. This year I've not been that bothered to see the on floor stuff, in fact during the conferences I built a small Minecraft village because I was that bored (will be showing it off in a Minecraft Episode, when I get the time to do those posts).
I think it did not help with Microsoft and EA starting the week off badly, the rest pulled it back but I did feel it was not as good as the past. I was also shocked this year to have several friends ask why I did not tweet throughout the conferences, did not think people was that interested but over the last few days I've seen higher number of readers on the blog (even when there was no posts). So next year I will be doing a Twitter live feed as I watch the streams then after I might just copy and paste everything onto a blog post.
Personally I think the reason this E3 was not that big is because next year we will be seeing the next generation of consoles so I think everyone is holding back and waiting. What did you my readers think of this year? good? bad? post your thoughts in the comments or on the Facebook page, I do read everything.
You know what I think I'm going to post my thoughts for next year, I honestly think next year could be one of the biggest E3's we will ever see. Both Microsoft and Sony should be showing off the start of their new consoles, Nintendo should have Wii U and it will be showing off the line up for the first year. In fact it would not shock me if Nintendo release some big name stuff like Mario HD or Zelda HD since they will have some competition with the new consoles.
I believe that most companies will be moving over to the new consoles, so expecting to next generation from everyone. Maybe one or two games still coming out the current stuff but most will be next generation like COD, Assassin's Creed, Fifa, no doubt we will see another Battlefield but thinking Bad Company 3 this time.
It could be brilliant if done right and just maybe there will be a blue moon and Value will release Half-Life 2 Episode 3! although there would be a good chance the Four Horsemen will appear shortly after.
