The fact that Sony is using augmented reality.
From games Watch Dogs and Sim City.

It's the end of the console cycle for MS and Sony. I didn't expect many if any surprises. Nintendo is releasing a new system tho. That's where all the excitement was gonna be anyways.

I still can't get over The Last Of Us. Looking back at the gameplay, it's absolutely seamless.  Watch Dogs gets its props for giving us the best graphics on console thus far in gaming, but The Last Of Us gets the cake for me because the gameplay is amazing. I love how Ellie is so vital to game too. She's not just a wandering AI. She also has speech that's specific to the situation, it seems, and I like that. Not only that, but the game looks beautiful and they make the game so realistic in that there's limited ammo and it's more human versus human instead of good versus bad. Very happy to see that this game lived up to all expectations.
Sony impressed me, honestly. It gave us all games and they were games I wanted to hear about. It may not have been everyone's line-up, but dammit it was a lot of games I liked. So far, they did the best in my mind. Nintendo's conference probably going to be "better," but I think the Wii U seems stupid as hell (sorry Nintendorks  ) so essentially the Nintendo conference is just gonna be about a console I don't have interest in. I'll probably say Sony's was my personal favorite even after Nintendo goes about with their conference.
Excited to see if they talk about Kingdom Hearts DDD though.

Alot of people are wondering whether the AI's reactions were scripted or it's a new awesome AI system Naughty Dog has implemented. I saw someone say something about the new AI system being call "The Balance of Power" and it makes the AI react to how you play so I think it might be a new system in play but it was awesome none the less.

Sony's press conference was nothing exciting. Same boring old games. Where are the new games that aren't a blatant ripoff ? Oh i guess they'll save it for PS4... :

Don't expect any talk about the 3DS or any 3DS games during the main conference. They're saving all 3DS talk for the conference they're having on the 6th.

If it's non-scripted, it could seriously be a game-defining trait that makes Last Of Us even more of a game-changer.  I really hope it's that Balance of Power system you're talking about.
Cause yeah, it seemed scripted at times. But if that's how it's supposed to feel, then DAMN.
Even if it's scripted, DAMN. It's still amazing.

Last Of Us, God Of War, Assassin's Creed 3, Beyond: Two Souls, Far Cry 3... where are the "blatant ripoffs" minus the PlayStation All-Stars?

Oh, okay.
I'm so excited for the Secret E3 games to be unveiled. One of those HAS to be absolutely huge, right?

Yes, I wonder what these are.
Oh and do you think Watch_Dogs might snatch GTA/R*'s wig or do you think R* will retaliate well? It is a next gen game though so we don't know if it'll be able to do damage as of now.

The Last of Us, God of War: Ascension, Beyond: Two Souls and Far Cry 3 were all new games and not "blatant rip offs". If you're gonna try it and least do it right.

Oh lord, you got me in E3 analysis mode.  I'm sorry for the long ass post.
Well, first: Grand Theft Auto V's gonna happen at E3, GamesMaster Mag goofed up and accidentally put them on a list that was supposed to be kept secret. I think that it comes down to GTA V's gameplay. Rockstar has such a ridiculously high bar to cross for Watch Dogs', it's ridiculous. The game has gotten so much buzz so far (specifically for its graphics); not to mention, it's open-world just like the GTA series. Makes them bitter rivals at this point.
GTA V's gonna be great, no doubt, but graphics are what's on people's mind. No doubt GTA V is gonna be a great game and have fantastic gameplay, but people wanna see Rockstar, the premiere video game company of beautiful open world games, deliver something that topped the surprise debut of this incredibly beautiful game that is in every essence the most top-notch and realistic graphics console gaming has yet to bring us.
Another thing is the curiosity of a brand new, never-before-seen series. The Last of Us and Watch Dogs are arguably the biggest buzz-creating titles so far; Last Of Us for its viral campaign earlier this year and Watch Dogs for its sealed-tight surprise release at the conference. They both have proven to blown away the E3 conference.
Combining the fact that Watch Dogs was a completely unexpected title and the fact it shocked us even more with gorgeous graphics to die for as well as really solid gameplay makes it a hard game to beat. As we know already, GTA V will have addictive and fun gameplay that will almost guaranteed meet up to if not surpass Watch Dogs', just cause Grand Theft Auto has been a prime example of amazing gameplay for 15 years. The real question is will it take the look of the series even higher than Watch Dogs. It's the grand feature of Watch Dogs in people's opinions. I MEAN, even the rain drops in slow motion even had smooth detail. How the **** do you top that?
Long story short: GTA V's graphics need to be amazing to maintain an advantage over Watch Dogs cause graphics is on the gaming community's mind after watching it. In any case, they'll both be incredible games and will likely have great success in both sales and critical reception, not only in E3 but at release time. 
Also, Watch Dogs has officially been listed to be on the 360, PS3, and the PC. A lot of people thought it was too good-looking for the current-gen consoles, including me, but it is infact going to be on the current consoles. Which, to be quiet honest, makes it even more of a threat.
