Microsoft E3 Live Stream

[The Fake Shemp]

Yeah.  It's just them trying to hype up the brand for the casual gamers and throw out bullet points.

the good shit from e3 is always the shit from the floor.

Except they showed off gameplay footage from Call of Duty: Black Ops and Halo: Reach, which will be the two highest-selling games - bar none! - this holiday season. Gears of War 3 will also sell truckloads.

[Jansen]

how the fuck am i suppose to transfer my data to this new console? i want to buy one but i need to know this first.

edit: guess at worst you could use a usb stick.

I think, hmm, I think MS is losing focus.

They had a pretty good focus with OG Xbox and event better, amazing focus with Xbox 360.

Now it's hmm... slim here, Kinetic there... not rigid enough.

I think Sony is losing the focus too but we shall see tomorrow. They lost it with PSPGo when it comes to handhelds.

Xbox Slim feels like PSPGo in some ways. Unnecessary product.

borys has spoken

[GoofyGoober]

No price is fail. They announced a street date so why not a price?

Because Sony hasn't announced a price.

They're both going to be 'bad' conferences. Why the fuck do you people think they announced ALL THE BIG PS3 TITLES BEFORE E3.

Excellent point on price. See who moves first to not give advantage. Didn't think of that.

They announced them so they could focus on move, and a few other things. I suspect that much like the MS conference it isn't going to be "hardcore centric".

[Brehvolution]

There is 110 EB viewers right now. I wonder why.

[huckleberry]

Borys don't be distinguished mentally-challenged.  The redesign is the ONLY thing that the 360 needed.

[Stoney Mason]

The thing I'm kinda surprised about with KINECT is that even though it isn't for us, there isn't even a game among that group that really pretends to be. I honestly though there would be some Milo type adventure game that would at least be interesting for somebody like me. But its all party games, mini-games, or gimmicky type stuff. Like I said the product isn't for me, but I'm still a little disappointed for some reason that there isn't even a game to tempt me.

They didn't even show off Natal functionality in Fable 3 which they've hinted at. And which one of these is the Rare games?

[TripleA]

One word to describe Microsofts press conference:

Desperate.

I'm really starting to understand why Bach left, at first I thought it was related to the Courier, but now...

...Now I understand.

Totally dude. They all are jumping ship. MS is gonna go out of business.

No (yes, your sarcasm was noted) but I think what Microsoft are doing to (note how I didnt use with...) the Xbox division is very alarming.

It probably saves them money because it allows them to use new chips and whatnot.  and it's a form of rebranding for the 5 year old xbox 360.  it's not unnecessary.  people like slim consoles.  that's been proven already.

and losing focus?  sony and MS are in the position that they're in because their focus was too narrow.  Nintendo saw the potential and jumped on it.  PS3 and 360 are just playing catch up on it.

How so?  They essentially shaved 100 bucks of the price due to the inclusion of Wi-fi.

[TripleA]

Also, what happened to Milo?

[Eel O'Brian]

they're showing off the new xbox on gametrailers

still a proprietary hard drive, but it's internal

"hey, fuck all you dudes with old 360s and expensive old-model hard drives"

that's not what i meant.  those are the casual brand names that 360 carries.  of course they would show it off.  i'm talking about the nerd out hardcore shit that always pops up on the e3 floor.  that's what i mean about the good shit.

[Rman]

Really annoying that they're doing the proprietary drive garbage again.  These things are essentially PC now, give the ability to add my own HD.

[Saint Cornelius]

The thing I'm kinda surprised about with KINECT is that even though it isn't for us

Nah, not "us". You're unhappy, but you can't expect that everyone feels the same.

[Stoney Mason]

And which one of these is the Rare games?

Wii Kinect Sports.

How the mighty have fallen...

[TripleA]

Can't wait for Black Ops. Shit looks tasty.

I agree, it did look really good.

If they make a PC version I'll be playing it there, dont want to use Move or Kinect to play COD...

That makes sense.

I wonder what their new harddrives will cost.

[WrikaWrek]

I've come to the conclusion that some of use are simply more intelligent than many of the fucktards all over the place.

This conference focused on Major games releases for this year, in fact, the biggest game releases of the year (HD) were shown. Call of Duty, Gears of War 3, Halo Reach.

What did you guys want? A game announced out of nowhere for this holiday? Games for next year? Why the fuck do you need to know what's going to release next year, right now?

SMFH

[TripleA]

Have they said when they will reveal Kinects price?

No mention of the price is leading me to believe it won't be cheap, hopefully I'm proven wrong on this one.

[Stoney Mason]

So 2 hours till EA conference. Any big games there?

Crysis in 3D ought to make you wet right?

mgs4 (:'() kinda killed my interest in the series; i'm not even excited about peace walker. but rising looks alright, i guess. will it control like the raiden part in mgs2? with the sticks? i thought that worked really well.

[cool breeze]

What I'm reading now is that if you want to use Natal on old Xbox 360s, it requires a power supply (in addition to the 360 power brick).  The new 360 doesn't require an additional power supply for Natal.

Good joke.

For a second there I thought you were questioning why people would want new games announced at their PRESS event.

[iconoclast]

Only thing i really liked was Metal Gear.

yep, the only thing I'm really looking forward to is Metal Gear, and even that looked like a dumbed down action game. everything else was by-the-numbers sequels that I can't get excited about any more.

[MyNameIsMethodis]

I'm going ot bujy one of these new xboxes for sure cause gamestop is def gunna run a promotion.

I thought Rising looked pretty bad actually. I mean, it's fun in MGS...but MGS isn't a pure action game.

That was a stupidly disappointing conference.  A few great games we already knew about followed by a gimmick.  :\

I hate the fact that Nintendo's success has resulted in MS and Sony wasting time on this motion control bullshit.

Kudo was funny as hell sounding, though.  Every sentence started at a high octave and would dip down until the end of the sentence.

I'm not so sure, especially with all the free Xboxes being given out and the Jim Jones-esque event yesterday.

Many developers may be jumping aboard the HD motion bandwagon.

Wait when did Rare announce their new game

[EmCeeGrammar]

And which one of these is the Rare games?

Wii Kinect Sports.

How the mighty have fallen...

Not really. Rare spent most of their lifespan mimicing the nintendo success stories. You can see the parallels between mario 64 and banjo and kazooie or animal crossing and viva pinata. Its business as usual.

And the same people who shit on wii are saying that the Kinect looks cool

Shouldn't we judge the conference on what we liked about it? Sales-age is one thing, but we're gamers first, are we not? Kinect is lost on most of us and, in spite of your strong case of denial, it did look quite laggy. Gears and Halo looked just as expected. Call of Duty is multiplat, as is Call of Duty. Fable was only a trailer, though a date was given. It was pretty underwhelming besides the reveal of the new Xbox hardware, which is what has me excited.

The intro to TP is horrible and it takes about 2 hours to get into an actual dungeon. Give it some time. It's a great game but it has pacing issues, unlike other Zelda's.

you have all that shit on the island

3ds

please announce a successor to the psp sony and once again get us out of the handheld gaming ghetto.

zelda i'm cautiously optimistic for but i have a feeling it'll be dumbed down beyond belief and with too much waggle crap added on :/

But that takes like 30 minutes to an hour. TP's intro, however...blah.

3d Zelda intros are usually blah. This is a known fact.
