Can't say I was blown away by either the Dreamcast or PSX2 - though some of the demos were pretty impressive - I liked the sink demo with the real-time 'tap' and rubber duck etc. bobbing around .. GT looked like it could have done with a bit of anti-aliasing - those graphics were just too sharp. other stuff ... Perfect Dark looked good, GT2 looked a bit like GT - though apparently they were showing a later build behind closed doors which was much better (why not on show then ?????). and some of the Color Gameboy stuff was fairly impressive - (though Resident Evil in 3D wasn't really one of them) my first E3 - basically ECTS, 5 times bigger, noisier etc etc. Can't say I was too impressed with LA ... Unversal Studios was cool though, Terminator 2 3D - nice 'ride' - 3D which really worked.
