The E3 Thread
 

Just cause the other one was already running for sometime and it was about "speculation". So now we get a new one just for the actual show...

So, just saw the Xbox presentation...

Honestly? I felt underwhelming. I won't bash it much for all the Fake enthusiasm and the fact that some (can't say all) Kinect Demos looked like "fake demos" instead of real gameplay...

Also, at no point Metal Gear Rising was stated as an "Exclusive" at this E3. Actually, after it it was said that All Games and Demos -from that point on- were exclusives. So... doubt?

Halo didn't look so hot, Actually Gears 3 looked better and so Did the new COD... aside from Fable the only thing Xbox gave us so far was Space Marines Vs Aliens in Different color pallets.

As for the whole Kinect deal... well, the Hardware seems cool enough. I still don't know how the Kinect will prevent you from screwing up whatever you're doing with unintended body movements from you or freinds.

Also, new way to fuck your friends over. Walk into the room and yell "XBOX STOP".

Also also... 2 questions:

What's up with all the asian chicks?

Can you please fake enthusiasm a bit more, Microsoft people? SHEESH!

2 high points in the presentation? ESPN guys and "EVERYBODY GETS A FREE XBOX!"

Asian chicks are good lookin'?

And of course Halo didn't look interesting. It's Halo. :)

Now, no need to start trolling, Azis.

Well, they could've put some effort to upgrade the damn thing... I mean, it barely looks better than Halo 3, which looked barely better than Halo 2.... and it's their "Flagship monster Franchise"...

I was really willing to give Kinect a fair chance, but it didn't work. It looks like a nice interface Hub and i'm still not convinced that the Technology is solid.

I'd get Kinect if there were more games like Dance Center. That looks fuggin' sweet.

Halo Reach looked good. Graphics were improved, the little animations for melee kills were nifty, and the Elites seem a lot more into avoiding your shots than they felt in Halo 3.

COD Black Ops looks nice, too. It's still just COD, but few people are going to complain about that.

There is nothing more to say about anything.

+ I'm excited about the new Xbox because my wife and I have been talking about buying another and giving our launch box to our son.

+ ESPN was a pretty cool announcement. The only TV I watch is through Hulu or sports so now I can get rid of my digital receiver.

+ Black Ops, Rising, and Gears looked really good.

+ Voice chat and controls with Kinect are pretty cool(assuming price is reasonable).

-Very few exclusives that are worthwhile.

-No Hulu.

-Kinect=WiiPlay, WiiSports, and Wiifit.

As much as Microsoft hyped this show as industry changing it was a disappointment. The only game changer was their deal with ESPN. If Sony has something to announce other than Move they could really steal the show.

Ah God damnit...

I always seem to miss the good shit and chances to get a 360.

Least I'm not the only one though.

That's what you get for not being an industry insider!

If move shows up with better games, it will already be better. And since SOCOM4 on Move is already a reality, i think it's a decent possibility right now.

But it's all wait and see right now.

Also the Entire Fitness demonstration was Awkward and off-putting. The only thing worst was the Video Chat bit (yeah, it's a nice little feature, but c'mon!!! Presentation people... )
