Microsoft E3 Press Conference Summary

At a bright and early hour on Monday June 6, Microsoft held their E3 press conference. Last year featured the official unveiling of Kinect, the camera add-on that has sold millions. This year, Microsoft is continuing support of Kinect as well as bringing Halo back into the Xbox fold.

yh i have to say that was pretty bad. probably the worse e3 press conference ever.

dkp235390d ago

Considering that last years conference was probably worst than this years, highly doubt this conference was the worst EVER...

Anarki5390d ago

No... this one is muuuch worse. Anyone for kinect?

Information Minister5390d ago

Here's what Microsoft showed us at last year's E3 press conference: Halo, COD, Forza, Fable, Gears, Kinect, Kinect, Kinect.

Now think about what we've just seen at this year's press conference. It wasn't better... or worse. It was exactly the same!!! Except this year we got some new Halo games announced... 4 of them!

Kid Actors Galore. (KINECT was in your face)

ICE T was kind of embarrassing on GEARS
HALO 4 was the only highlight

..as well as multi plat videos

WhittO5390d ago (Edited 5390d ago )

lol I don't know about worst E3 ever, there is alot out there for that.

Wii Play drummer & band anyone, or Real-time weapon change/Giant enemy crab? haha.

Maybe the most boring conference yet, I couldn't even laugh at it.

Here's my summary. Don't keep a gun around when you watch it, you'll shoot yourself. Yes, it's that bad.

Microsoft has single-handedly killed gaming. I'm thinking of selling my 360. Not a joke. I don't want to support MS if that's what they're after.

Here's hoping Sony and Nintendo save us from this travesty!

Joe29115390d ago (Edited 5390d ago )

It was awful. I don't understand this obsession with motion controls. The day gaming doesn't involve a physical control with buttons (and not some dumb dildo shaped controller aka move) is the day I quit gaming.

Note: Nothing against move, but it is shaped funny :D Also don't like kinect. Wii is ok because it doesn't try to be anything but a little bit of casual fun.

fei-hung5390d ago

although I like my ps3 more, i was hopeful MS would show killer instinct or jade empire 2 or a new otogi game or a proper banjo and kazooi game or surprise us with alan wake 2 but they did what nintendo has done with the wii generation - they have clung to what makes them money i.e. halo, gears, forza and kinect and it seems they are going to stick with that and not invest any money or hardcore games outside of that.

It's a shame since last generation, although they didn't do as well, they fought a lot harder and offered some really cool games outside of halo and forza, namely the above mentioned games and some more.

The Great Melon5390d ago (Edited 5390d ago )

Hopefully Nintendo will redeem themselves tomorrow. If the rumors have any merit we just might get a proper console from them tomorrow. I'll be delighted if Nintendo announces a new ip aside from their tried-and-true series. As for Microsoft--diversify. Until they embrace that philosophy, I will continue to be critical of them even if I enjoy Halo or Gears of War.

Here's a summary for you. Microsoft would f**k up a wet dream.

silvacrest5390d ago (Edited 5390d ago )

twas awful, nothing else needs to be said

@above, im glad even xbox fans can admit this

MGRogue20175390d ago (Edited 5390d ago )

Microsoft's E3 2011 conference = crappy kinect games & MOAR Halo

It was really lame over all.. 3/10

Looking forward to Sony's conference, I'm sure that their one will be like 1000x better. :)

Rolling the Dice: Do Modern RPGs Miss the Point of Team-Based Play?

It seems it was long time ago. A bunch of friends spending hours on end playing RPG games, sitting around the table with the box of cold pizza. Excited about the story, listening to the Game Master, they were completely engaged in the worlds only visible to them and their imaginations.

The GM is the programmer, and in MMOs and co-ops, you can play with others. If you want to ONLY use your imagination for the visuals, read a book.

1) Hope they put it on disc this time.
2) Hope this is a positive for Neptune coming over as well.

Demons Souls5753d ago

If so, that's being developed & published by Idea Factory. Compile Heart has nothing to do with it (Thank God for that).

Godmars2905753d ago (Edited 5753d ago )

Thought Compile Heart was one of the companies lending characters.

Was also speaking in general as in regards to a US of Neptune. If these guys are offing a second game, NIS or Atlus, both of whom offer quirkier titles, will put that one out.

@kagon01:
My issue isn't - wholly - with the DL-only option, but the price. The first game should be $30. Maybe $40, and by that I mean $39.99. The only reason its $45 is the 360 disc version which has extras. Nevermind that by all rights its a PS2 game. Something that proabbly could have been done if the devs had the GOW2 engine or tools.

ClownBelt5753d ago

I approve of this god damn message.

Could have gotten my 60 bucks if they just put it on a disc.

Another exclusive damnn the ps3 keeps on rollin wit games awesome ;)

Jack-Pyro5753d ago

Is this a half decent SRPG, porn aside, cause if it is, i might just decide to go and buy it for the 360.

Anon73495753d ago

There's no porn just some sexual innuendos but that's it.

Also it is a great game by itself, maybe not graphically but everything else is top tier.

RedDevils5753d ago

so it had some kind of "top tier" porn story jk

ThanatosDMC5753d ago

Yup, it's a decent game. I just hate that a move has to go first before any attack options.
