Got the day off today, let's do this. I hope they show some impressive stuff on the floor, or if they're just going to fill most of the time with casual Kinect stuff that I don't care about, it better be funny.

Thanks!

As information breaks, I'll try to create separate threads for the bigger announcements, so as not to bottleneck everything in to one thread.

MS needs to show me how Kinect will work on games we play. That is the key to the show for me.dvader654

If it incorporated serious action in GoW3, then Kinect may not be something to laugh at after all.

MS has said they want Kinect to appeal to core gamers as well. Given the tremendous appetite for shooters on the X360, I'll be deeply shocked if neither Halo nor Gears offer Kinect support.

If it didn't have Gears or Halo support, they might as well call the lab that designed Kinect, the Department of Debt.

I'm pretty sure Bungie's already stated they won't have any Natal/Kinect support in Reach. Anything could happen on the 343 industries' front though.

What to expect!

  • Xbox 360 Slim
  • Project Natal/Kinect
  • Gears 3/Cliffy B
  • Halo: Reach
  • Fable 3
  • Megatons
  • Embarrassing on-stage blunders

When you put it that way, I have to ask myself why I'm tuning in.

God, the last thing I want to see is Halo Reach implementing some poorly thought out Natal/Kinect crap to try and appeal to audiences. I heard the same thing, Bungie said no Natal, but I wonder where exactly are you going to fit this peripheral into the rest of your games other than tech demo stuff.

Yeah, I'm avoiding the internet streams by watching it on live TV. Sure there may be a mandatory 5 second delay - but I'm willing to live with that!

Can't say that wouldn't go a long way. :) But really, Japanese content in general. It's not like MS has shied away from it.

Oh Natal is a much better name. Its just that when Sony named theirs "Move", someone at Microsoft yelled out: "Quick! What's something more generic than Move?" "How about Connect?" "Hey! Change the spelling and you could have something!"

Does the Gamespot E3 Streaming ever work? I always have a hard time with this thing. Oh well, might as well stick to Gametrailers.
