The Microsoft hype for E3 is getting warmed up. European VP of strategic marketing for interactive entertainment at Microsoft EMEA David Gosen has told MCVthat the platform holder will unveil some 'fantastic surprises' at E3 this year as it steps up its efforts in the mass market space.

"We're always working on new things, and you'll continue to hear lots from us that we believe will be game-changing," he told MCV. This could be a hint and Microsoft's new Avatar system and online interactive gaming programming and more.

Kinda reminds me of the Wii appeal. Worried as well but I understand that as a business it's trying to appeal to the mass. Just don't alienate the gamers. Keep the library coming MS that's all I care about.

Probably motion controls. I can see it going like this:

MS: Check this out. Now, you can MOVE YOUR HAND and your character WILL REACT. MOTION CONTROLS!

Onlookers: What about the Wii?

MS: Who?

Yeah but it involves making burgers using zombie bodyparts, so surely it will attract hardcore gamers to buy it ;) :P

Yeah I know man. Like that "GamerPad" thing looks dangerously casual. When the 360 came out, I thought of it as a hardcore console.

With a rumor of motion sensing, the avatars, and "My Gamer Pad" I think MS is stepping into casual territory.

I know Sony is working on a motion controller as well... ugh, lol.

akif22

The 55 year old guy in a suit's 60 bucks for a casual game is the same as the 25 year old in a ball cap's $60 for Gears of War. They're going to go where they can make the most money... and it sucks.

I'll become a hermit if I have to. I cant imagine playing super casual games. It just wouldnt be fun.

With that said, MS hasnt showed anything to show they're forgetting anyone yet, so we need not worry... yet.

YEah, it will be game changing.

MS is about to **** up gaming for good. If they really let others manufacture the 360, MS is dead forever in my eyes.

this might be one of the game changing

http://www.xbox360fanboy.com/2008/01/04/the-fast-and-the-furriest-rares-latest-xbla-project/

We just received exclusive information concerning what one of Rare's next gaming projects is and you'll be surprised to hear that it's both an Xbox Live Arcade game and it uses the Vision camera. Tie your running shoes, do a few stretches and warm up those hammies. Rare's The Fast & The Furriest is real and is coming our way.

After reading through presentation materials that were sent to us from one of our super secret inside sources (yeah, we got 'em too) we've learned that Rare is working on an Arcade party sports game featuring some of Rare's iconic characters called The Fast & The Furriest. The Fast & The Furriest will feature all kinds of sports based mini-games that include a 100 meter dash, bungee run, hurdles and tip-tup curling. Rare also has plans to release XBLM content packs that'll expand the event offerings including croquet, bowling, volleyball, fishing and various target games. And get this. Most, if not all, the games can be controlled using the Vision camera if one chooses (but not required). But back to what we said about Rare IP characters being used. Each player will be able choose a character like Conker or Banjo which will actually be a "suit" (think mascot suits). Players will then be able to scan their face using the Vision camera to skin the face opening of the character suit. Taking the whole face mapping thing a step further, they'll be using character faces as in game assets appearing on scoreboards and reflecting off objects like ice.

We also learned that Rare experimented with a wand type input device for gesture recognition (think Wii controls), but seems to have scrapped the idea for The Fast & The Furriest due to technology problems. It's possible we'll be seeing a special gesture controller, but not from Rare.

We've seen the presentation materials and have trust in our super secret insider. The Fast & The Furriest is real, is planned for the XBLA and in development by Rare. When the game will release, how much will change between now and then and if it'll even survive the development cycle is a book of mysteries of it's own.
