Nintendo E3 Direct – The Most Disappointing presentation of E3 2018

"Simply put: the Nintendo E3 Direct was very disappointing. It wasn’t awful by any means but it didn’t even come close to last year’s Nintendo E3 presentation. So what went wrong?" - Michael Pyre, Gamer Professionals.

EA maybe, but Sony's conference as far as games go, was pretty decent, not as good as Microsoft's but good.

TekoIie2168d ago

I wouldn't say Sony's was disappointing. I'm personally not into TLOU at all from a gameplay standpoint and felt that two Arkham-esque feeling games was a bit jarring and but there were a lot of good games. Was the presentation ridiculous? Yeah, but that's extremely minor to me.

I don't think Nintendo delivered a bad show by any means but it lacked their most anticipated titles at the time like Metroid and Bayonetta, and even games we know are clearly in development like SMT V, Pikmin 4 and Animal Crossing.

I think thats the thing that let their show down. Good reveals but no huge surprises.

Tigerblud2168d ago (Edited 2168d ago )

I think they are waiting to take about SMT after Octopath Traveler releases. And won't talk about 2019 Pokemon until after Let's Go.

And no mention of Prime trilogy makes me think it's not coming.

It was so bad their stocks plunged 16% and as of now haven't recovered... yeah it was bad.

"Sony"
Ghosts of Tsushima
Spiderman
TLOU 2... say hi.

tool

michellelynn09762168d ago

And it was still bad. GOT looked blah, we've seen Spider-Man 2, DS looked pathetic and LOU2 looked boring.

zaherdab2168d ago (Edited 2168d ago )

Micheil ... you keep sayin rhat to urself ... these games were stellar ... and they sctually showed us innivation not a repeat of the same formula that is smash bros since the n64 ans they didnt go on about what each button does... nintendo's presentation skills are lacking and the guy doin the voice overs was so dull

Nodoze2168d ago

All of the E3 preso's were very meh. Microsoft did well. Ubisoft did well. The rest .... not so much. Nintendo's prime focus is a port from Wii U with some polish on it. Sony's games were great...but the format sucked big time, and their was next to nothing new.

GameBoyColor2168d ago

Still cant believe yall calling it a port when it's being built from the ground up in ue4 and mechanics are completely different. The last of us 2 is a port with a little more polish then lol.

SuperSonic912168d ago

What ever happened to streamlined consolidation of software development in one unifying platform?

Where the games?
Saw this coming miles away.

paintedgamer19842168d ago (Edited 2168d ago )

Nintendos e3 was garbage. No Bayonetta 3 or Metroid Prime 4 killed it for me.

I’m more interested in what else he said.

“Neil Druckmann says new Naughty Dog title could ‘redefine mainstream perceptions of gaming’

Zezdh7h ago

Yay, more trans lgbtq characters and awful story lines

Jin_Sakai7h ago

I miss the old Naughty Dog when Bruce Straley and Amy Hennig were there.

H93h ago

It will be something like "we erased gameplay all together it's just a movie now"

purple1013h ago

every time naughty dog make a game, you play it and get the feeling "this is not possible'

from the boulder running towards you in crash, on ps1,
to the massive open world of jak and daxter, on ps2,
to the QuickTime events sequences of uncharted on ps3/4

and now we will see what they do with ps5,

Press X for doubt at "PS5"

Arrogant asshole who sniffs his own farts bigs up next game…sounds like typical PR to me

You know what I find interesting? Every site reporting this as the main title where the REAL interesting bit of the interview is Neil praising AI and saying it will be used to help push story, characters, dialogue and more.

It’s super shitty to big up AI especially when it comes to story telling and other creative elements.

When you start the game Neil will appear personally telling you about real world issues and call you all sort of names if you don't take action now and then you watch a whole movie and that's it

Crows901h ago(Edited 1h ago)

Too much credit.

A good dev doesn't need to announce how good his game is...he just shows it.

You don't see Kojima glorifying his ideas like this and you don't see successful developers glorifying their "great" ideas before release.

It's going to be a shit show...reserve some popcorn.

Its a hard pill to swallow but the naughty dog we once had is long gone. Most don't realize it but eventually just like with bioware and blizzard...it'll be hard to ignore.

H91h ago

Neil just wants to be Kojima so bad, meanwhile Kojima is just like a child enjoying the world, saying whatever comes to his mind and having so much passion, man I don't even like his games that much but the man is just passion incarnate!

And the popcorn is always ready for Neil

notachance1h ago

Ever since Bruce Straley left it was like Neil lost his leash and went on full ego trip, not unlike Kojima tbh but at least with Kojima you can see how much he loved video games and how he truly want to push the boundaries. Neil felt like he’s just strutting around..

StoneTitan44m ago(Edited 43m ago)

Erm dude. Never played a kojima game before? He can absolutely come across pretentious to some people. He puts his name in the credits of every Mission you do in mgs5.
I mean...
Also naughty dog absolutely has the power to bring in people from a very different demographic unlike other gamecompanies. TLOU and Uncharted were absoolutely groundbreaking for gaming.
Also Druckman never said it "will" he said it "could"
Sounds actually very optimistic but also cautious to me.
Stop hating move on

Can't wait to see what ND is bringing.

He's gaslighting us to want something that doesn't exist yet. This fool got demoted back to janitor status where he belongs for destroying the last of us franchise.

Can't wait for my physical. I got in on the 2nd wave. Had an email a few weeks ago but I was figuring I wouldn't get the game till July August. Well worth that physical edition though.

bRuud832h ago

I am also waiting for the physical edition of the game. The game is on it's way to me so I expect it next week. Can't wait to finally start the game.
