[TX85]

Anybody wan't to take early bets that Kinect will be build into X-Box 3??

Double post sorry!

Overall I'd say great press conference from Microsoft. They showed some great core games as well as some new great ways to use Kinect. Most of the conference was about the games this year unlike last year which was great. Much better pacing, over half of the show was core games and the multi-plats looked great. UFC, Tv, and Fun labs looked great. Plus Halo 4,5, and 6 will be on the 360 i am excited.

Yea the "core" Kinect uses, I felt, were pretty impressive. Looking forward to the ME3 Kinect usage.

 

[hippie_hunter]

I give Microsoft a B. A much better showing this year as opposed the the F I gave them last year.

Halo 4!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[jacobed]

I'd say B is about perfect score. Great press conference but amazing. The conference sold me and I'm out to buy a Kinect right now.

I wouldn't say that Microsoft's press conference was great, but it did what Microsoft needed to do in presenting Kinect and the features that Microsoft wanted to promote.

Seriously Xbox is fine for the foreseeable future as long as they have Halo trilogies coming out their ass & if they can hang onto Gears of War. Multiplats to placate the hardcore & Kinect to sort out everyone else.

I´m here, so, it´s time for for a reality check

It was better than i was hoping for (i was expecting an F or D), it wasn´t a good press conference (i give it a C), and it was boring as hell (too many games in too little time).

The multiplatform side of the presser was by far the best, all games were great (CoD, Tomb Raider, Mass Effect 3) minus Ghost Recon (not that it was bad, but it was all Kinect customization, not game itself).
And then we arrived to the exclusives....

Bing, YouTube, Live TV..sure, those are good features, so, no wrong there.
UFC app....well, it´s the same as ESPN, so, if you like it, go for it.
Gears of War 3, great game but the demo was not all that, and the all Ice T making a music for the game....who the f**k cares?
Ryse.... i don´t get why you guys are saying it looks great?
Is because is Crytek? Is because of the graphics?
There was nothing on that video that made anyone go wow, it´s an on-rails melle game, nothing more. Sure it can be great, but it´s one of those games that you can only decide after you actually get your hands on.

Halo CE Anniversary was...ridiculous, what a bad trailer.
How can a company treat their title flagship so badly? More even in it´s anniversary?
Forza 4 looks great, not what they showed, but in a video going around the net where they show the headtracking.
Fable: The Journey was an on-rails game, looks extremely simplistic. The enemies just wait to be shot and the creation of the energy spear was so slow it was not even funny.
Disneyland Adventures....well, when they started the presentation, saying that it was a digital representation of the all park, it got myself saying, great idea......but then i saw the gameplay.
Well, it´s Kinect Adventures II, no more no less.
Kinect Star Wars...the 3rd on-rails game on Kinect, this one came a new cool features....lag.
Sesame Street.......if Disneyland Adventures is Kinect Adventures II, this one is Kinectimals II.
Tim Schaffer....why?
Dance Central II and Kinect Sports II are what they are, if you liked the first, you will like the sequels.

Halo 4.....it was expected, and the trailer was not all that.
I really liked the part of a " the dawn of a new trilogy for the Xbox 360"...it´s sad, they really don´t have anything else then Halo to show, so, it´s already a trilogy.

All in all, there wasn´t one single game i was excited about, the best thing in the all press conference was Kinect Fun Labs, and even so, they didn´t showed anything i wasn´t expecting since launch.

The sad part is, they still don´t know what to do with Kinect.
Mass Effect 3 made good use of Kinect, better than what MS does.
Ghost Recon customization looked as a gimmick, and the all shooting if just bad use of Kinect.
To shot by opening you hand, reload by pulling your arm backwards, and to hold up the weapon as you are holding a gattling gun....i was just bad.

Double Fine is making a Sesame Street game?

This has been a disappointing day for gaming and comic news.

 

[Superhero 101]

I just saw the Conference and i liked it Microsoft did Deliver with Halo 4 and Gears and COD but the downfall was the Kinnect stuff so i give it a B-

Double Fine is making a Sesame Street game?

I thought that was probably the best part of the conference.

Uhh, this has been known for awhile now.

 

[Benstamania]

I don't care if Microsoft ONLY have Halo games to give me. I'd own any system they had just for them as, IMHO, no other FPS compares. Screw CoD and LOL at Killzone.

Make mine Halo.

Also... Did their conference happen already? Did I miss it? Crap!

 

[DIRECTOR]

anybody know where we can download the whole Microsoft conference?
