wat do you think you guys. Did halo 3 look way better than it did in the beta. maybe because i didnt see it in high def but looked pretty much the same to me.

Yea i thought e3 was pretty lame too probably because they refused to let us in

Firewire6805d ago (Edited 6805d ago )

what a crap conference! nothing new at all. Halo well, looked like
Halo. Nothing except 1 game from 2008? what the hell is that!
I love how G4 said, there was a special Japanese guest, and that we might see Peter Moore with a snake or MGS tattoo! Lame! No MGS for the xbots!
I told you little suckers! Honestly what a lame conference, even the damn crowd was dead!

Nothing new except live crap games! This E3 is easily Sony's or Nintendo's!

hazeblaze6805d ago

I think Halo 3 looked pretty awesome... it didn't look like anything drastically different than past Halo's but it still looked cool. COD4 looked better though. Overall, I found the conference pretty disappointing though... a bunch of multiplats & a couple of lackluster looking exclusives. Other than Halo 3, the only exclusives I have to look forward to are really Mass Effect and Lost Odyssey :-(

TheFamilyGuy6805d ago

I guess it looked a little better. Difficult to judge though since it wasn't actually in my console and on a TV like the Beta was.

I thought they did a good job.

The Assassin's Creed demo was the best part of the briefing in my opinion.

Adamalicious6805d ago

The Halo footage definitely looked better than the beta, but still not mind-blowing by any stretch. I think Bungie's taking this one seriously - they know they let people down with Halo 2 and they can't afford to do that again - though it will sell like a billion copies either way...

BubblesDAVERAGE6805d ago (Edited 6805d ago )

Halo looked good but the rest of the show was lame..personally thats the worst showing e3 could have ...No fanboy involved..i see you mentioned COD4 and AC but there both on ps3 and will have basically the same gameplay didnt set them apart for 08...but mass effect was good news..also 4 skus it is getting ridiculous..too many skus..

TheFamilyGuy6805d ago

The COD4 and Assassin's Creed demos were amazing, especially AC's.

The only way they could have done better would have been to get a demo of Halo 3 (but then again, didn't we get to play a beta for it!?) or Grand Theft Auto IV shown.

the_round_peg6805d ago

Halo 3 won't turn out to be a disaster after all. LOL.

Greysturm6805d ago

I think it was the worse because no exiting comments or news were released it was all information we knew and things we had seen in other trailers except perhaps for halo3 which i expected to be shown more.

the_round_peg6805d ago (Edited 6805d ago )

maybe Halo 3 will redeem itself from the beta after all.

... Microsoft really did not talk much at this conference. Nothing about the huge warranty plan. No portable device. No price cut. No Bioshock. No Too Human. No Alan Wake. No Peter Jackson.

They just showed us the games we knew about.

Oh well, we'd just have to wait for Microsoft's own X06 event -- which is coming up in about a month.

hotshot12376805d ago

what happen 2 mgs4 and price drop and games that we havent heard anything about and......oh wait.....................wooho oo!!!!disney movies...........oh wait but what happen 2 those good graphics they said would b in single player......and its still the same as multiplayer in halo......what happen 2 a playable demo......oh wait at least u guys r gettin re5. but thats not a big deal. well at least ur gettin a FOURTH 360........but this time its green!!!!hahaha. and not 2 mention some of those games were multiplatform.....and nobody heard anything that wasnt really already known.............except disney movies.woohooo!!!!!!!!im so excited.hahahahahahahhahahahah ahahhahaha.......so much 4 best e3

razer6805d ago

You don't sound jaded at all do you?? LOL You better hope fireworks shoot out of Kaz's ass at their press conference or expect a similar response for Sony. I will be wondering if you will be as critical for their press briefing because right now I'm suspecting you are nothing but a Sony fanboy and don't even own a 360..

At first I was like, No Code Veronica on the list!? But then I seen Mainline. The list checks out, but I would personally put 2 over 4.

KwietStorm_BLM1d 7h ago

I'll take 2 over 4 also. And even without a number, I don't see how Code Veronica, my other favorite in the franchise, isn't mainline when it's the actual sequel to RE2.

Rebel_Scum1d 10h ago

The original RE was the best. Its not on the list which makes no sense.

The remake of it was alright but should be higher on this list.

-Foxtrot1d 7h ago

The original RE smokes VII and Village, come on.

I would be interested in a Saints Row 2 Remake.

Alos881d 16h ago

I would agree... if the old Volition was still around to do it.

Abnor_Mal2d ago

I just started this game last night, just the player creation had me upset. You choose male but they stand like a female. Eyebrows are all effeminate, face, and verything seems to be modeled after a female with a thin male overlay.

I only played the opening and didn’t even complete that before I turned the game off. I will likely go back and try it again, but a very weird first impression.

Huey_My_D_Long1d 18h ago

You sound super weak to be upset by a character creator ngl

ChunkyMonk1d 18h ago

welcome to your average n4g daily user lol

chicken_in_the_corn2d ago

I'm not surprised after the backlash and hatred the last one got.

1nsomniac2d ago

The franchise has been complete utter garbage for almost 20 years. The first one was the only decent game of the lot of them.

Huey_My_D_Long1d 18h ago

OMG Thank you! Never understood how people raved about Saints Row like it was GOATED.
Honestly Janky Generic feeling titles with Humor that tried to way too hard. People criticize Borderlands for its humor, but holy hell, still leagues better than any SR.

isarai_lee2d ago

Kinda dumb they asked for his pitch then ghosted him, the concept sounded dope

I've been wanted to revisit the game in the back of my mind for years and this is big. There's still a good handful of 360 games locked to the system I'd love to see now that the seal is broken on decompiling these games.
