Nintendo is at least finally addressing the hardcore gamers. I can't believe Microsoft is just doing the opposite.
Ninja Gaiden, Arkham City, Darksiders 2, very hardcore games, are coming TO THE NEW WII!
Edit: It's over...and it's official: Microsoft's E3 performance was the worst.
At least we can agree on one thing: Microsoft shat on themselves this E3.
Yes, and people said that it wouldn't sell. Impressive numbers from Sony, and they didn't spend $500 mil on advertising.
I could use some cash...right about...NAO.
I came, I saw...
Edit: I saw, I came
Just saw the tank footage...epic.
They just shot themselves in the foot with the conference. The moment they started with the hardcore games at the beginning, I knew there was going to be lots of Kinect stuff about halfway through.
The conference was full of so many cringe moments. Other than Gears of War 3, they filled the rest of the conference with Kinect stuff. They made it clear that they are no longer interested in the hardcore...they found a new cash cow---the casuals, and they are going after them!
Microsoft just shot themselves in the foot...AGAIN!!! Gears of War 3 was fantastic, MW3 was meh... and I wasn't surprised with the Halo 4 thing...it was bound to come out soon or later, but I've always loved the Halo series and welcome this.
And then they go ahead and fill half of the conference with Kinect SHIT. Cookie monster?? Disney Land?? Seriously??? I think that they just made it very clear for the hardcore gamers.
I have to admit...that was a bad conference! You just witnessed Microsoft at it finest.
Halo --- check.
Gears --- check.
Fable ---- check.
Forza ---- check.
^^That's it for the hardcore
Bunch of horrible Kinect games --- check.
They just made it clear: they're now much more interested in the casuals than the hardcore.
I cringed with Disneyland, and even further with Cookie monster.
One thing is very sure after watching this conference: Microsoft has made it clear that their primary target is now the casual, hardcore comes last.

Kinect Disneyland made me cringe with facepalms. That was bad, it was so kiddish...to think that hardcore gamers are going to play this...The Kinect part sucked...
Yes. Graphics were the same, especially the water effects...they looked cheap. Storyline looks very interesting.
So far, Kinect stuff is only on.
It's a bit lagging and their servers are slowing down...the traffic is heavy, and the stream is getting worse!
I can also confirm this. I have about 5 buddies who are playing this game like hell. They are loving every minute of it!
That just made my day!
Bungie is out of this one. I would also love to see where the next adventures of Master Chief land on.
Although Bungie will ALWAYS remain the makers of Halo in my opinion, I'm very curious to know what 343 Studios has worked on so far. Here's hoping maybe for a small gameplay??
There are so many wrong things with that statement! Polished game?? Black Ops fiasco with the horrible PS3 port and PC ports that had bugs...Call of Duty sells because everybody plays it.
Call of Duty is like Paris Hilton, they are famous for being famous. The only Call of Duty that was innovative was Modern Warfare 1...the rest were just repeats. When you have a previous title (Modern Warfare 2) looking better than their latest (Black Ops) it is kind of disappointing. Just ...
Unfortunately they don't. I still don't really see what Activision has been working hard on, it's pathetic. They will remake the same game, same engine, different scenarios, online system that doesn't even support dedicated servers, and they'll do this every year but STILL people will go ahead and buy this game like their lives depend on it. Call of Duty died after Modern Warfare 1.
This is really nice technology, but how on earth will the sound be split??? Using headsets?
