MS- spent the bulk of the show on Kinect (and kiddie games) effectively slowing the show to a screeching halt...until Halo 4 was announced. It was worse than last years show 100%. Microsoft seriously needs to stop ramming Kinect down our throats.
Sony- NGP/Vita looks nice but I saw 0 games that made me feel that I needed a PS3. Didn't really feel they did anything to remedy the fans upset with the hacking either.
Nintendo- Confused the hell out of everyon...
A little too soon to announce DLC considering that these maps could have been brought on to the retail disc before release day, isn't it?
I'm doubting you'll see anymore of my money Activision.
I knew BF3 would be epic...Which is why I pre-ordered it immediately when it was announced.
MW3 will not get that privilege. Although I heard it also makes a wonderful coaster for your drinks.
I was thinking about that since playing ME1...The citadel seemed to me the perfect place for an MMO location.
Hopefully it will keep the same style as the mass effect we know and not be a warcraft clone.
Sounds like he has a better idea than he had for the 1st Rage game...I could see this as the first game is basically setting up the series and doesn't allow for as much flexibility as a sequel.
Nice to see Master Chief make 2 comebacks in a single day between this and Halo 4.
Definitely will be picking this up.
Kinect ate up too much time, thats for sure. Halo 4 really saved the show at the end...Gears looked great as anticipated. All and all it was about what I expected after watching last years show.
What about I am Alive?
I was certainly expecting a hint of another MGS game...No Kojima this year.
Seems like Left4dead with Nazi's.
Can't say anything bad about it yet since there isn't any actual gameplay footage but obviously its a different direction for the series. For better or worse.
Pitchford must be feelin' the Dukeness still with humor-filled action games on his mind.
I'm really excited about Far Cry 3.
Looks very impressive...Just hope they include the map editor.
I really enjoy the CGI trailers they release for these games...True art at its best.
This game is great....My first halo experience was Halo CE on P.C. and although there aren't mods or the same maps as I've used before in this game...Its well worth the money.
Reach engine? Awsome.
Multiplayer maps? Awsome.
ANYONE complaining about Chiefs armor must have never played the first Halo...
I think the movement controls need much more improvement.
Otherwise its just you performing a handful of hand moves....Its just missing some substance IMO.
I was laughing when I heard them announce this and immediately put two and two together that this was a blantant response to COD's Elite monney-grabbing service.
I'm still laughing at my dumb friends that say "Ready for MW3 yet?"...In which I reply..."Don't you mean BF3?"
This looks fantastic.
Halo 1 is the only game I'm missing in the series on console so this will make an excellent fit to my collection.
Microsoft needs to stop trying to pitch Kinect to the hardcore gamers. Its not going to happen- especially now.
They did let down a lot of people and should be a bit ashamed of how much time yet again they've spent on Kinect. Its a bit ridiculous IMO. Bring the games....not the hardware.
I think 90% of it is the branding as well. I'm just tired of hearing about Kinect. Its over-kill.
They have the ability to launch great titles but instead are placing 50% of their hopes in gimmicky Kinect titles and hardware. Its annoying to see so much time spent on something that could be explained rather than shown in demo that went on for far too long.
Most gamers haven't jumped onto the motion control gaming scene yet. They need to really stop force feeding Kinect down our throats. E3 was always about the games. They need to go back to that focus point.
...
MS and Sony need to just bring out heavy hitters. Save the motion stuff for the end of the show because it can be summarized without being demonstrated. I feel like every year now we'll have motion control gaming shoved down our throats.
Not only do we have to deal with crappy motion control games but now they are geared towards very young kids! What kid is sitting there watching this conference? This show is geared towards hardcore gamers...Why waste stage time on a Sesa...
Anniversary edition for sure!
Didn't they say they layered it over the original?! Thats awesome. Plus- 7 multiplayer maps? I wasn't even sure they would do multi!
I was thoroughly impressed with the demo...I missed the intro and came in to a series of *Bleeps* that lasted for at least 10 minutes during the "Do you know what the definition of insanity is?" thing lol...This game looks impressive.
They better have a map-editor included again. That would secure my pre-order.
