Any PC related items mentioned in Microsoft's E3 conference?

Just curious as PC doesn't have its own conference but Microsoft i'm assuming will only cover the 360? before I watch it just want to know if any PC coverage is mentioned in it or not. I don't own a 360 or intend to get one anytime soon but would like to see some PC platforms from the 360 as well.

Thanks.

Well since PC isn't backed by any one major corperation, all the PC games will be at booths and showrooms.

Yeah thats what I was thinking to... but yeah I agree PC gaming is making a come back and will give the consoles a run for their money, not to be fanboyish as I have nothing against consoles, just for my situation PC gaming is the easier thing for me to go with.

A lot of the games shown on Xbox are also on PC, but they didn't bother talking about the pc version because PC is pretty irrelevent in the gaming market.

Well, they started on it. But no one in their right mind bought subscriptions for the GFWL service. MS made it free, but after that they just decided Xbox Live was more profitable.

So much for the hermits thinking Halo 3, Gears 2, and Fable 2 are going to be ported over to the PC. :D

I'm confused. When SC: Conviction was showed, the guy said "Exclusively on Xbox 360 this fall" yet it's on PC?-RocBoys9489-

I think it's going to be out first and a few months later the PC version is released.

E3 is primarily a corporate show.

PC gaming doesn't have a corporate "sponsor". Although MS makes the OS for PC gaming, they pretty much do nothing to tout it since they released the original Xbox back at the beginning of this decade.

It doesn't mean PC gaming isn't relevant. It just means it isn't a controlled platform hardware wise.

PC gaming is open platform. No one can "represent it."

I don't know if it count's for E3 news, but windows 7 was dated for october 22.

lol, why would you want that? Seriously.

Anyway, it's pretty obvious Microsoft's commitment to their own Games for Windows brand is pretty non-existant.

Just goes to show you, no matter what these people tell you on here, the PC and consoles don't really compete much with each other like xbox, playstation, and Nintendo consoles. Here it may be about "System Wars", but at E3 it's all about the "console wars".

MS tried to play both sides for a while but they always put 360 first so obviously it didn't really work out, and now it seems they've pretty much given up on the whole thing. It's propably better this way, it was just silly, how could a company be representing PC gaming when at the same time they might be paying developers to keep games away from that platform. Anyway, there were some Alan Wake, Splinter Cell and Modern Warfare 2 trailers which I think will be on PC too.

I don't think there was no one owns pc. In truth pc is pretty irrelevant when it comes to E3.
