Hey, more options for me.

And stop being a grandpa already.

no. sorry, fell for this horse shit once, not falling for it again. enjoy the magic of novelty over efficiency. tell the nintards i said to burn in hell.

I'm not falling for anything but if I ain't gonna use my Kinect (which is still boxed) with ME3, I ain't gonna use it ever.

XBLA is soooo 2006. Join Kinect.

Whoever is in charge of XBLA is still doing a good job. There are tons of great games this year and it's the only thing saving the 360 from being as shitty as the Wii.

Phoenix Dark · « **Reply #189 on:** June 06, 2011, 02:58:05 PM »

Most of the Kinect stuff shown today seemed interesting on a tech level, but impractical in terms of a gaming session. No one is going to be flailing their arms around to steer a horse for long periods of time. Or shout out commands to computer controlled team members in ME3.

MCD · « **Reply #190 on:** June 06, 2011, 03:01:47 PM »

However, we can finally interact with our virtual girlfriends thanks to kinect.

Just scan your nerdy figure or pillow.

This was just about the most zzzz conference for E3 that I've ever encountered. No real hype or anything.

MCD · « **Reply #194 on:** June 06, 2011, 03:18:24 PM »

Let's be honest...no one knew about Minecraft till it was made possible with Kinect today.

MyNameIsMethodis · « **Reply #195 on:** June 06, 2011, 03:20:33 PM »

the interesting thing is Sony owns the portable version of minecraft exclusivity while microsoft has the console one

They announced the Summer of Arcade line-up.

Well what is it? I didn't hear it and I don't see it anywhere on this board.

Hitler Stole My Potato · « **Reply #203 on:** June 06, 2011, 04:37:06 PM »

yeah, what is the summer of arcade this year?

iconoclast · « **Reply #204 on:** June 06, 2011, 04:37:50 PM »

From Dust
Toy Soldiers 2
Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet
Bastion
Fruit Ninja Kinect

Pretty weak lineup imo.

they should do a conference where all they do is play tomb raider for an hour. TOMB RAIDER!!!!!!!!!!!!

Beezy · « **Reply #206 on:** June 06, 2011, 04:41:32 PM »

What a lame ass summer arcade lineup. Oh well. We got 3rd Strike and Treasure shit.

Hitler Stole My Potato · « **Reply #207 on:** June 06, 2011, 04:45:52 PM »

:/

Well, From Dust might be interesting at least.

Mrbob · « **Reply #208 on:** June 06, 2011, 04:47:36 PM »

MS upcoming franchise is another Halo trilogy! :munch

They really are the new Nintendo. Creatively bankrupt at making a new IP.

Hitler Stole My Potato · « **Reply #209 on:** June 06, 2011, 04:53:44 PM »

Seriously. What do they have? Gears, Halo, Fable, and Forza. Add Kinect support and set to repeat.

Remember when MS at least tried to start new IPs? Some might have been complete shit, but at least they were trying.

Fuck these dudes.

Oblivion · « **Reply #210 on:** June 06, 2011, 04:56:57 PM »

This conference seems too boring to even make a decent mocking video out of a la Sony's 2006 Press conference. (

Just loop the football dudes endlessly. Mock complete.

*looks around*
REEEEED! EIGHTY TUUUUUUUUU!

Honestly, the whole thing was a train wreck......pretty much as expected.

Eel O'Brian · « **Reply #212 on:** June 06, 2011, 05:01:53 PM »

they don't really need to create new IPs this late in the generation, that shit's for Xbox720

they already have total 3rd party support for the actual gamer crowd, all they need to do right now is ride the novelty wave for the next couple of years until the new console launch

borys - kinect couldn't do skyward sword because you would have no way to move link,that's why you need an analog stick to move link around

alas there is no game proving the contrary,even the star wars game looks scripted when it comes to movement

glad i went to bed during the turgid start - moaned about it before but MS are busy wiping their arse on the last X years of good will.

I'm pretty much in the mind set now that only Sony "get" it and even then they only "get" it once every so often and still managed to some how fuck up the execution

And by IT i mean "What is a fucking 'regular' video game?"

bububububu Kinect Sports Darts!

Graphically or?

It's missing the most important part of the game, so they shouldn't have even bothered making it, to be honest.

I will say this, though. There's hope for Halo 4 now that those no-talent hacks at Bungie aren't involved. But please, get a real writer to craft the narrative this time. It doesn't have to be a world beater or anything, but let it develop into something more than "lolz, doomsday cult."

I played Halo CE on PC and enjoyed the story immensely. Never bothered to play Halo 2, but enjoyed both Eric Nylund's first two books in that world. Then I played HALO 3 and there is not enough double-you-tee-eff in the world for how hackneyed that whole thing was.

That whole Kinect thing is really fucked and I hate Halo. Microsoft, why have you forsaken me? Someone better save the day by announcing Bully 2 and/or Shenmue 3. Also, it's called search, not Bing you dickheads.

The Sceneman · « **Reply #234 on:** June 06, 2011, 10:28:57 PM »

yeah its pretty sad how shit their conference was. Sony raped them. Gears 3 will funny at least but not actually good

I missed the conference. So Kinect and Halo was it? BORING.

Bring on third parties or maybe Nintendo will announce something awesome (lol).

I'm sure next year will see more core titles but The kinect launch and the past months have been really barren. They have to use the year to build a library for that system.

Yeah I don't think there's anything fundamentally wrong with Kinect but the way it's being used just doesn't really do anything for me. If developers used it with some subtlety it could be alright (the way they're using it in Forza looks OK) but things like that Ryse and Star Wars look like social leperosy in a way not even Nintendo could manage.
