They coulnd get an actor to sinc his movements on screen!
/sarcasm
The web made them nothing!
They brought this on themselves by showing pre recorded and staged demos!
And then the press got onto them and pointed their skinny scary fingers. MS promised a revolution in gaming but showed us what an Eyetoy and a WII can do.
@himdeel
Thats a good point about casuals paying to play online. Nice one!
Also, I agree with you that since Kinect doesnt bring any thing diferent than what a WII can do in the eyes of a casual gamer. How will MS convince them to buy one when its the same old dvd tech extra?! LIVE is great but wont give the casuals a reason to buy it so its pointless.
Yeah! That was a cheap move.
Also, the only time the crowd actually sounded excited was when they said the new 360 "its on us" thing.
I know you guys will eat me alive on this one but sometimes I move my console to replace some cables on the back of my tv. Sometimes I do it while its on but not on purpose. Sometimes I do it while a game is paused. Thank god my PS3 doesnt scracth or destroyes my discs.
A vagina fest would be nice! ;)
I would say "tupperware fest" is what E3 became. The best part is that Nintendo is doing it for so many years now and has enjoyed sucess on the market that MS and Sony might try to do it too.
Oh dude!! So true!! I noticed that too. He was afraid of moving because that would screw up the presentation. Also, is it me or you have to get a humonguous living room for your body to fully appear on screen avatars?!
I dont really like this voice activated things! Its like we have to control ourselves in order to not say those words while watching.
The show aint over but so far it sucked!
Its too soon to announce Sony´s victory in the conference part.
Lets wait and see. Sure some will say it failed more than MS´s one and some will say it was the best ever.
Its the same thing for everyone!
The reason why MS conference failed its because it showed no substance.
Kinect = Pre recorded acting!
Core Games = Nothing new and one vague Crytek trailer that showed... DUM DUM DUM... nothing!
Worst part is that MS was always the winner as soon as their conference went live. Strangely it was when they announced a former PS3 exclusive on their platform that the crowd would go wild. This year, at least in the conference, it was a no show.
Its old news alright!
Also, damage control anyone?! lol
Looks pretty good! The cutting that is. The gameplay showed very little. Do we hack and cut everyone?! Is it a finishing move!? Is all there´s to it?! Do we platform in the game?! Are there puzzles to solve in order to move foward in the game?!
Looked good?! yes!!
Did it show much?! NO!!
Wont matter how you spin it, it failed.
At least to the core market it did. The casual wont even care because they dont pay attention to these kinds of events anyway.
It seems hating Kinect is the new thing right now. I´ll give you that. But in all honesty, it failed miserably! This technology was supposed to change so much yet it showed so little.
Star Wars: In all honesty, you will stay in the air with a none existing light saber trying to take down Vader?!?! WTF?!?! Why is the guy forcing to defeat Vader?! Its thin air! Nothing stops me to slash my non existant sword right trough Vader saber and body. That cut scene is full of fa...

lol!
I actually felt unconfortable watching some of it too. Like when the announcer was expecting apllauses and the crowd were complety silent. They should of given the new X360 to them first because it was the only thing about that press conference that made them excited about.
Edit: About the Kinectanimals, the little kid was the most conving of them all. She actually looked like she was fun. But I think it was an acting because the "ghost" arms seen o...
The sad part for me was that the games MS showed were only 3!
Fable 3
Halo Reach
Gears of War 3
Everything else was multiplat. I think they relayed too much on Kinect and failed miserably.
But one thing we have to take into consideration. We are not the target audience for Kinect. Maybe thats why we bash its press conference. MS should of place themselves in both territories but than again the quantity of hardcore game...
Its Kojima! We know who he is but the security guy at the entrance doesnt know who he is so why shouldnt he wear a wristband? Its not that big of a deal.
I really admire Kojima and Im a big fan of his work but this is a little bit of a "but... but... Im a celebrity in this business" type of thing.
Anyway, he may of not liked it but he is wearing and it goes to show that in the end he understand why he must wear it. If it was such a big deal like...
The character movement reminds me of Battlefield Bad Company 2.
The settings remind me of Modern Warfare 2.
These two elements combined seem really good!!!
I havent played MW2 for a long time but one thing that it does really well and it spoiled me is the KILLCAM. When MW2 was the hotest thing around you couldnt bash the game in anyway but now that hating the game is a trend I can finally came here and say that the single best feature in MW2 is t...
My thoughts exactly!
