MS Conference

I dont think ive ever been quite as disappointed during a conference.. they showed only a few games at the start.. MGS: Rising looks interesting. Cant wait to see how it turns out. After they showed off a few games the rest of the show was all on Kinetic. I was in the GS chat, and everyone has similar views. No one cared, we all wanted to see some games. NATAL is the project name, Kinetic is the product name. They had some girl showing everyone how you can watch movies with other people on the Xbox over Live.. why would i want to do that? She spent a few minutes talking about her family.. who cares? Each person that got up on stage seemed to blab about things that had no relation to the game or product they were there to show. They proceeded to show a few Kinetic "games".. All they were was WiiSports and WiiFit for the Xbox360. Then a Dancing game and you could walk around a car.. and even sit in it.. wow. Im sorry, but who wants to sit in a car? Lets RACE the car.. but no, that was just sitting in it. They finally showed a game you race.. holding your arms up holding an invisible steering wheel.. imagine a long race, your arms would get pretty tired. The people that got up were all incredible bad actors.. one of whom needed a shave desperately and wore dark sunglasses with shaggy hair making him look hungover. At the very end they showed off their new XBox360.. its smaller, its "faster" (provided your modem, router and internet provider will allow that speed) and it looks just like the PS3.. there were hardly any claps or applause from the audience. Until the end.. when they turned around and said they were giving a free Xbox to each of them.. the whole thing was just sad. They make the audience clap at the end by giving them a free new Xbox. Its as though they already knew their conference was horrible. Not to mention every single thing that was shown involving Kinetic seemed to be scripted and they could have found better actors if they randomly chose someone from the audience and let them just read the script on stage. Next up is the EA Conference.. can't be any worse than what we just saw.. and at least we will finally see some GAMES! That is after all what we watch E3 for. I hope you do better next year MS.. i was very disappointed with what should have been a huge conference. There is so many upcoming titles that could have been shown off, and to focus on ONE single thing for the entire conference is pretty bad. Its just a gimmick, everything it can do is already done on the Wii. Unless your a 9 year old girl that wants to pet a tiger.. in which case you could have just bought a Tamagotchi 15 years ago for a few dollars.
