Official MS E3 Conference Discussion Thread - KEEP IT HERE

Dont supoise that they have released the specs for conviction?

Wow! What a crash and burn conference for MS! Where the hell are all these 10 revolutionary exclusives they have been bragging about? The only thing I liked was Alan Wake and the motion sensor, everything else was weak. Oh yeah! Thanks for killing me with that long boring beatles junk too! I mean come on! We know what rock band games are like. Very Interested to see Sony's! GOW3 FTW!

oh man i don't see ninty or sony surpassing this conference. i was totally excited by the entire thingDecko5

wheni was watching the conference live i thought it had too much filler and celebrities to sell the xbox to the public. But after i seen some of the games i was looking forward to, mainly splinter cell then it got a little bit better. but over all it was an alright conference but im really looking forward to nintendos and sonys conferences tomorrow.I might end up purchasing a wii if i like what i see.

Splinter Cell, a franchise I have never found interesting looked amazing and Alan Wake looked pretty dull. I'm confused.

But at least Splinter Cell and ODST impressed, Forza 3 *looked* amazing but I found Forza 2 mindnumbingly boring so probably won't follow through with that one. AND CRACKDOWN 2 &%$£@#!?ERS WOOO! Don't actually care about the new MGS until I see some gameplay 'cause it's like. Raiden. You know. Wanted ZOE3. ;(

It was good overall.

In terms of games, it was pretty disappointing IMO. I knew about most of the games that they talked about. Many games are not coming out this year either, which is weird for Microsoft since they usually focus on current year.

Alan Wake looked cool, but it is not coming out this year. There is not enough info about Halo Reach or Crackdown 2 to get me excited about them. I did liked Splinter Cell Conviction and Halo ODST demos. Shadow Complex looked neat also. L4FD 2 was a surprise, but I have yet to play the first one.

In short, I can only think of two exclusive games that I am exsited about for this fall New Splinter Cell and Halo ODST, and I knew about both of them already.

I was really impressed with motion controls though, but it looks far off to me. A lot of new cool features for Xbox live though. Ability to browse netflix on 360 is great for me since I use Netflix quite a lot. LastFM integration is neat as well. Finally, we will get steaming playback! 1080P content is also welcome. Tweeter and Facebook are also cool addition, but I do not care about these two much to be honest.

I would rate the conference 7/10 in terms of games and 9 for features and new controller.

They spent 20 mins plus on the beatles. That was enought to tell me it was gonna suck. Just being honest thats all I've watched.caseypayne69

Conference was really quite great.

Three things i liked.

1. They didn't wank thier sales off in our face, no sales or any kind of data at all which was VERY nice when you consider that was the bulk of the Sony/ MS conference last year. on one likes pie charts :P (well execpt this one :P)

2. Where's the beef? HERE'S THE BEEF. They dated alot of games for 2009, (conviction, ODST, Forza 3, L4D2 etc etc) They only showed one LIVE game out of 10 exclusives they showed us (which looked awesome). Crackdown 2 came up behind us and kicked us in the head. As did the 2010 halo game.

3. Innovation you say? You must admit that MS has really gone the whole hog with NATAL waking the Wiimote looks positively pedestrain in the scheme of controler change. Can they deliver? Well if it's as good as they keep saying it is (and that tech demo wasn't completely scripted) then we could have a game changer on our hands.

[QUOTE="delta3074"][QUOTE="II_Seraphim_II"] Come on man...beatles rockband? That was pretty weaksauce...thats like hearing about the next guitar hero installation :?inertk

As others have said, I'll give it a 7/10. There just was nothing that got me excited about my 360. None of the games they showed are really my cup of tea, but good for them for slipping in Crackdown 2, L4D2, and Halo Reach. As nice that they got the MGSR reveal, even if it is multiplat.

Alan Wake: must admit that it's been a long time since I read/saw anything about it, but I remember being interested before. Now I'm disappointed to see that it's basically another survival horror game.

Natal/Milo: The tech is definately interesting. I just have my doubts about when it'll be available and what exactly we'll be seeing from it in terms of games. People are hailing it as a Wii killer, but I just don't see it. The thing with the Wii is that the whole system is built around the concept and all games are designed with motion in mind. Right now, Natal strikes me as yet another addon, which will see a handfull of games but not widespread use. Why? because only a portion of users will own it. How many powerpad games were there? Eyetoy? Even the Wii Balance Board, arguably the most widely adopted add-on only has a few games that use it.

Features: Yawn. I feel this way every E3. Call me old fationed, but I want my systems to play games, not movies, music, facebook, etc...

I was mostly bored through the MS conference up until the Natal point because it was exactly what I've wanted to see at E3: a completely different step forward into the gaming world. It's why I love the Wii.

Now whether it's good or not is debatable and is impossible to tell until the product is finished and tried, but regardless, it's no doubt a step in the right direction. Much better than the usual rehash of games and sequels we usually get.
