E3 2016

So E3 2016 came and went, and with it we got a fair dose of upcoming goodies from all sides of the console kingdom. As you know, or should know (i mean you are reading all the posts right?), I own both an Xbox One, and a PS4. While yes I guess you could say im a resident in Xbox Land, I still stop over into Playstation-ville to sample the goodies there too. I bought the Xbox on day one, and it was the smart play for me. The PS4, while a great machine, just doesn't quite do it for me.

So Xbox shows us some new hardware, tells us about even more hardware next year, and then gives us a bunch of games. Halo Wars 2, State of Decay 2, and Recore all stood out for me. Solid stuff. Will I grab the Xbox One S? No. What is it? It's just like the current Xbox but it support High Dynamic Range video. You need a 4k TV for that. I don't have one. So im waiting.

PS4 comes out and really shows us a ton of great games. No hardware (outside of the VR stuff, which im so not sold on). My problem with PS4? Firstly, Shawn Layden. What a D-bag this guy is. Really. Come on Sony. Get someone up there that loves gaming a little more than himself, or herself. Please. Also, RELEASE DATES! Sheesh. So fan boys think PS4 won the show. Eh, no. PS4 showed us a bunch of smoke and mirrors. Yes, GREAT looking smoke and mirrors but 90% of these titles won't release for who knows how long. Some aren't likely to be ready within the year if not much longer. So yes i also want to play God of War, and Spiderman, and FF7 remake. When are they coming? Who knows.

Nintendo. I didn't watch their show, but i did see the Legend of Zelda demo. WOW. Do yourself a favor and watch this:

Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild

That sold me a Nintendo. I mean I haven't bought it yet, but wow. When is it coming? Next year! March I believe. So yeah, for me? Nintendo stole the show. Now, has this game been coming for awhile? Sure. I do get it, but when all your good content has no release date its hardly a win.

As with all E3's its great to enjoy the show with both a PS and an Xbox so that you can benefit from both shows. Now, I will be owning a Nintendo soon too. The question is do I grab the Wii U, or wait for the NX. That all depends on the NX and what its like. :D
