Microsoft E3 2011 Press Conference

[Monsterfurby]

Poor Peter Molyneux. Now he's been demoted to announcing minigames. I feel kinda bad for him.

 

[Vault boy Eddie]

OMFG Skyrim is making me wanna touch myself O.O

 

[Ophiuchus]

So much Kinect, so little of interest. Yes, well done, we know Kinect did well but you can't just stop making games for the base console and live on gimmick alone. The only thing that really grabbed my attention there was Tomb Raider, which will make it the first game in that particular franchise that I've ever cared about.

Also, I'm calling it now: the Earth will be swallowed up by the sun before they ever stop making Halo games.

 

[Pingieking]

I'd say not bad Microsoft considering they pretty much had nothing to go with.

This. It didn't suck as much as I thought it would considering they had just about shit all coming into the show.

I say Halo 4 can only go one of two ways: it'll either be insanely awesome, or completely suck (like, Haze style bad). Either way, it'll likely sell 10+ million units.

EDIT: Oh yeah, there was Dance Central 2. That was cool.

 

[blackdwarf]

this was IMO a terrible conference. most of the games they showed, showed nothing new (gears 3) or were just not interresting at all(almost all the kinect games). microsoft just proved that besides halo that they don't have soem good exclusives(i disagree, i think halo is boring and the other exclusives are better but those just not sell good like alan wake and such), so they release the first game in HD and make a sequel to a serie on which the original developer drawed a line.

i find it weird they release minecraft on xbox when it is still in fact a beta.

i found it weird that people where crying like the second coming of christ when they saw the weapon smith from ghost recon (to be said it is kinda cool, but really not THAT spectacular)

the only game they showed that really drew my attention was tomb raider(before i didn't really care) it looked pretty cool and started to show that the weren't fucking around, although it was weird to see lara still be pretty jumpy with that extra hole in her.

and wow, you can say the words instead of of using your thumbs to choose the converstation option in ME3, i'm so immersed right now. ok the feature is kinda cool in the fighting but still not game changing.

overall, they weren't showing anything that was really interresting.

 

[GeorgW]

I've gotta say, I'm extremely underwhelmed. Sure, they got me a lot more excited for Kinect than ever before, but I don't really care about any of those games. And to bring out Tim Schafer only to announce a damn kid's game for Kinect is an insult! Microsoft, for shame, I was expecting more!

 

[aaronmcc]

Star wars kinect looks absolute SHITE.

 

[kayisking]

Is Mordin's voice actor different?

Nope, it's still the same guy.

 

[Fappy]

Is Mordin's voice actor different?

Nope, it's still the same guy.

Good, guess the audio on the demo was just a bit off or something. He sounded a bit different.

 

[andeve3]

That was a shameful display.

 

[FangShadow]

ok I am sooooo confused right now....I'm watching on g4 and they are advertising the ubisoft and sony press conference in an hour and according to my tv guide the microsoft conference is tommorrow....i'm on the east coast of the us and I'm so confused as to what going on...
i'm watching on g4...

 

[Riff Moonraker]

I am about to heave with all the kinect focus... alot of the things they showed for the kinect were too kiddy for MY kids. But, I was VERY pleased to see them finally announce the next trilogy with Master Chief. That honestly made my day. Now I am hoping for a new Mass Effect 3 trailer at the EA conference to send my brain orbital!

 

[AM City Watch]

Mass Effect and Modern Warfare continue their respective downward spirals, while Kinect stakes claim to the Uncanny Valley.

I'd like to be angry about this, but instead I'm just sad.

 

[Magnalian]

Oh man, the guys behind Fortresscraft are gonna be pissed.

[HEADING=1]a few thoughts from a sony fanboy[/HEADING]
snip

one line tells me all I need to know /ignore
OT: I can't help but feel disappointed and kinda upset by and large by what I've been reading. Kinect shovel ware BS, Halo CE Anniversary(Im looking forward to it), and Halo 4.(saw it coming a mile away I just hope its good) Thats all I saw thats of note

 

[Trentnes]

There are some well crafted games here but Ive played it all before. The same old stuff with some Kinect voice controls doesn't do it for me.

Come to think of it... most everything Kinect that Ive seen so far does nothing to gain my interest.

 

[taciturnCandid]

Dissapointing for sure, but I am interested in the Xbox live tv and the halo anniversary edition. Aside from ME3, nothing else looks interesting.

I don't get cable, so a chance to see some of the show I like would be nice

 

[xchurchx]

microsofts was very very very safe
and the acting just keeps finding new lows
i mean this time round their clothes didn't even look real
im hopeing sony's is a lot lot better

 

[AlexLoxate]

So UFC fights on Xbox 360 is supposed to be a relevant feature? ugh.... I'm still watching though, can't wait to hear what's next.

 

[infohippie]

So, one. One single game in all that that I'm even slightly interested in, that being Mass Effect 3, and I'm getting that on PC anyway. Remind me again - what's so exciting about a 360?
