This year it isn't even close. You, as in the collective beautiful Destructoid community, voted for Sony as the top E3 2016 conference. Let's take a look at the results and get the bad stuff out of the way first. You hated EA's conference t...   read

Once again Sony put on a great E3 show. I don't think it topped last year with the handful of emotional announcements, but they did well. We got a look at PlayStation VR, but it wasn't too in your face. The Vita seems to be dead. Spider-Man...   read

Ubisoft kind of does the same thing at E3 every year. It has a ho-hum conference with some lame jokes, shows footage of games we've seen before, and then saves a decent reveal for the end. I don't know if I "enjoyed" this conference with it...   read

So uh, PC Gaming Show everybody!It wasn't nearly as cringeworthy as last year, but man there were so many dud parts. Having the host state that he wants to "buy every game" is weird for starters. Seeing a few trailers we've already seen was...   read

I think Microsoft did a pretty good job today at E3!Whereas they normally sluggishly move on games in favor of entertainment, this presentation had two new console announcements that heavily favored the gaming element of the business, as we...   read

Kadokawa has been around a long time (1945), and has published a number of properties, including the Cowboy Bebop manga (among many others), as well as games like Lollipop Chainsaw (in Japan). It also owns several studios, like Souls c...   read

Bethesda just wrapped up their E3 2016 conference, and really, it was pretty decent! Outside of some underwhelming looking Fallout 4 DLC (all of the add-ons so far have been, really), they had a number of welcome announcements. They ki...   read

So uh, EA!They told us a lot of stuff that we already knew, sort of kicking off E3 in a dull drip-fed way. We got Titanfall 2 footage, which, while cool-looking, isn't really substantial. The same goes for Mass Effect Andromeda's ...   read

Well, Square Enix, you did it. We thought that talking to Pelé for 10 minutes was bad during EA's conference, but there were more awkward moments than I could count with your E3 2015 presser today. Missed cues, microphone issues...   read

Nintendo's conference today started with a bang with puppets and Star Fox Zero for Wii U, and kind of went more low key from there. There were a lot of cool localization and date announcements, but really, it was mostly just a string o...   read

So, Yu Suzuki was teasing something Shenmue related! Ha! How about the rest of the conference, right? That Final Fantasy VII remake we've been waiting years for? A 2016 date for The Last Guardian? While there were some stinker rev...   read

Um, yeah. So Ubisoft's event wasn't as bad as it could have been. I mean, we've seen way, way worse, with giant enemy crabs, Wii Music demonstrations gone wrong, Joel Mchale, and Mr. Caffeine (those last two were also Ubisoft by the way), b...   read

Well, someone had to do it! EA went and had a particularly poor press conference at E3 this year, with tons of droning on about sports titles, mobile games, and things we already knew about. While I'm actually a fan of the sports and mobile...   read

Well, that was a nice little conference! Microsoft didn't blow me away this year, but I enjoyed it as a whole, and so far, there have been no disasters of any kind on the level of Caffeine Man (Google it). The biggest news for me had t...   read

Sony's gamescom showing went by quickly, with announcement after announcement and more than a few new intellectual properties put on display for the first time. Really, though, it's still From Software's Bloodborne that has me most wanting ...   read

If you don't like Halo, you probably didn't have a great time watching Microsoft's gamescom conference today. Having said that, they did have a decent indie sizzle reel showing, and the [email protected] program is making vast strides compared to how...   read

Nintendo had a very well-rounded presentation today, with very few major reveals and mostly just new teases. The new Zelda Wii U game was briefly talked about and teased, as was Mario Maker, and a few others. The biggest developments were p...   read

Sony had a pretty great E3 Conference today, showing off a number of new titles both AAA and indie. They also gave us a lot more info on PS Now, the PS TV, and other bits of media and hardware like their first original series. Check out eve...   read

Ubisoft had a weird showing with some exciting moments -- which is par for the course, and basically what they deliver year after year. The clear-cut big-time showing this year was Rainbow Six Siege, a glorious return to form for one of my ...   read

EA had a very snappy presentation today, with very few announcements and mostly just recaps on the development of existing projects. The big news of course is the announcement that the Battlefield Hardline beta is going live today ...   read

Microsoft had their E3 Conference today, and it was all about the games. Everything shown was game related, and they even got a few great reveals in there like a brand new Platinum Games exclusive that looks like it could be great. It didn'...   read

This is old news by Internet standards, but it turns out that ReBoot is being, well, rebooted. To commemorate 20 years since the debut of the original show about weird teal people living inside a computer, Rainmaker Entertainment is bringin...   read

I'll admit it: when we got the tip that Phil Spencer said the nickname "Xbone" would stick, a good portion of the Destructoid staff made juvenile jokes and giggled to each other. We are twelve years old. On Destructoid, Jamie invited us to ...   read

Yeah, I think this bit of art from the upcoming Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Two Worlds is my new desktop image. Today, Conrad and Jordan brought us another Wake Up!, this time with Eldritch, Chris gave us some very quick tips for GTA's ...   read

Out of all the things that happened today, there's one specific thing I'd like to address here: I don't think the Destiny box art is that bad. Is it just me? Surely I can't be the only one? There's definitely worse box art out there. I mean...   read
