[Cartman86]

Thought it was really good. No slides, no figures etc. Game after game. Motion controls are amazing if they actually work the way that was shown.

PROS: Modern Warfare 2
Left 4 Dead 2
Body control with Lionhead game and Spielberg
Microsoft's smart social networking
Crackdown 2
Metal Gear Sold 5
Halo ODST storytelling style
Beatles Game looks beautiful

CONS:
Halo ODST gameplay and action
What is Halo Reach!?!?!?!
FFXIII old demo
Waste of Paul McCartney and Ringo

Microsoft Score: A-

 

[J-Rzez]

I don't understand some people being underwhelmed at the MS games.
What do you think Sony is going to have? Same shit... a ton of sequels.
Nintendo... same thing. New mario, new zelda. etc

People bash more of the same, and then go goo goo gaga of more of the same on a different platform.

But hey, that's how it works right?

I can't speak for Nintendo, I don't follow, nor care about them. But Sony will probably show off a bunch of sequels, along with new games. Remember, games like MAG are brand new. There's nothing wrong with good sequels of good games, especially if they're going to expand on prior iterations. Just so they have new stuff in the works as well, keeping it fresh with new stuff to look forward. This is where MS has to pick up the slack and start focusing on their first party stables. I've been beating this drum forever though.

EDIT: That Beatles stint at the beginning was horrid. That was one thing I could do without. It was cruel and unusual punishment, and i would've rather sales/attachment charts.

 

[dark_chris]

I enjoyed the conference.
I definitely liked the stuff they showed, including the Project Natal. I don't understand the hate but whatever, it looks fun and that is what video games are about.

 

[jmdajr]

How are Facebook / Twitter garbage? Just because you won't use them doesn't make them anything less than the most desired web functionality of the vast majority of 15-35 year olds. Its pure genius by MS to put both of them in their console, and if SCEA had any ability to control its own destiny in this regard beyond the clutches of SCEJ, it would do the exact same thing in a heartbeat.

I agree. MILLIONS of people use those services. Why ignore them?

 

[Slurmer]

I'm interested to see what Sony has in store now. I'm hoping they have more beyond all the leaked stuff. Though Ms had a habit of leaking content from most of their conferences without much you didn't know making them slightly boring, so I want to see what Sony comes up with.

Also interested. I think they have the longest conference this year, and will surely spend a lot of time on the new PSP, but hopefully there is some good, new, tangible stuff there.

Not really excited for Nintendo.


Anyways, MS conference was very well done imo. Natal looks fun, Milo looks creepy, but intriguing and I admire the direction. Thank God for Crackdown 2. MGS:R is excellent news for 360-only owners. etc. etc.

Good start to E3, hopefully it doesn't crap out now.

 

[VALIS]

Bwahaha! We need more hardcore Japanophiles going through a list of each game shown at the conference and saying "not interested... not interested." It was E3, not the Tokyo Game Show. That's just as fucking stupid as FPS fans complaining about the RPGs at TGS.

 

[jett]

Pre-set waggle commands FTW :lol

I wonder how is Reggie gonna spin that shit

 

[Ponn]

Those wondering where Mass Effect was...the EA conference is less than forty minutes away, and I'd be shocked if we didn't see it there.

Probably, but as a RPG gamer who's already saw Final Fantasy XIII at E3 last year I was left out in the cold this year. I mean, jesus, Mass Effect 2 comes out this year and not even a fucking clip off of it? Did they even show a clip of Mass Effect 2 last year at E3? So that means its going to be released without even being showed at a MS E3 Conference. :lol

Seriously, no Rare, no Mass Effect 2, Alan Wake being just about the only thing we didn't know much about (but still knew about for years now) and nothing shown in the way of future IP's in development that are new, I just can't see how anyone can claim this is "best ever" anything. It was good, but thats about it. The motion stuff was interesting but still has that "in growing phase" feel. It's something to go on if you are interested in it.

 

[evolution]

I only got see the last part of the conference. Was AC2 shown, was capcom even there?

 

[wenis]

The level of antipathy and self-conscious irony in these threads never ceases to amaze me. Tomorrow Sony could announce that folding@home has actually cured cancer and GAF would be "meh" about it.

not enough Griffin/Cat thingies.

 

[Gary Whitta]

holy flying fuck, where do you get your arguments.

1) i think something is awesome

2) somebody disagrees with me

3) omgomgomgomg

4) here's some hypothetical bullshit.

Welcome to GAF, do you need someone to show you around?

 

[tedtropy]

Tony Hawk Ride: Lame and generic crap..

Generic? Have you played a skateboard-controller console game I haven't?

 

[Cygnus X-1]

I don't understand how you can say Nintendo's control is better. Is it because you can just sit on your ass and not move? Is it because you need to hold something in your hands.

It really makes little sense. There is nothing the Nintendo controller can do, that Nadal can't. So why would you prefer it?

The only reason I could see is if you are a fat pig (not saying you are), and will gas out after playing a game for one minute.

That's right. There is no mean to say a priori that Wii remote > Natal.

Nintendo created a controller with a precise type game in mind. For istance, Wii Sports. Then, they expanded the concept further and this process still continues.

Microsoft has created something potentially great, but with no precise game concept in mind. And in fact, no games support it now.

How much of this potential will become something concrete in your opinion?

That's the eternal problem with these devices: if you undergo the Nintendo's route, your controller will be the standard one. At this point, you can succeed or fail badly.
If you undergo the Microsoft or Sony's route, you will have an accessory. Nothing more. Nothing less. If it will be a success, it will be limited. If it will be a failure, the console will still survive.

That's the point.

 

[Princess Skittles]

FF13 and metal gear are not japanese?

Oh yeah. I guess since I don't care about either I forgot, oops. I was kind of hoping for something new from Mistwalker. But they can still announce stuff all during the week, so who knows.

 

[tedtropy]

Pre-set waggle commands FTW :lol

I wonder how is Reggie gonna spin that shit

I think like usual Nintendo will just let their sales speak for them. Wii's stuff is proven, Microsoft's motion-sensing stuff made for a neat (and occasionally REALLY awkward) demo. I'm interested to see where it goes though.

 

[h3ro]

The level of antipathy and self-conscious irony in these threads never ceases to amaze me. Tomorrow Sony could announce that folding@home has actually cured cancer and GAF would be "meh" about it.

Its pure genius by MS to put both of them in their console, and if SCEA had any ability to control its own destiny in this regard beyond the clutches of SCEJ, it would do the exact same thing in a heartbeat.

You're being a tad unfair there.

The best part, IMO, about the facebook integration is the screenshot functionality which is per-game.

What's Sony had the last while? Per game youtube recording.

And the foresight to provide a web browser to give you access to any social network you like, and just generally, unrestricted access to the net

I think it's great, and somewhat surprising MS is supporting these two services and not proprietary MS ones as they might have in the past (though I believe MS has a partnership with Facebook now), but I don't think it's something you can really bash Sony over the head with.

 

[CoilShot]

This gif is gold :lol :lol

 

[PistolGrip]

Why wait for Milo? Simply Google Turing Test and see all the projects that have been done for it so far.. A TON of people have been working on A.I. and not just academics but professionals, military and more. It's impossible for Lionhead studios to achieve what these people have not, over the past 30 years.

For the "best" program candidate in the Turing Test so far in its history (and I don't think Eliza is a good program), Google PARRY.

Like I said.. if Molyneux is trying some ambitious AI project it will fail hard.

Yeah I think if he concentrates on the AI, it will fail without a doubt however if he sticks to just interactivity it could very well succeed. I dont think it will work 100% but will allow for other developers to copy and improve some of the concepts..

 

[jmdajr]

I can't speak for Nintendo, I don't follow, nor care about them. But Sony will probably show off a bunch of sequels, along with new games. Remember, games like MAG are brand new.

Just so they have new stuff in the works as well, keeping it fresh with new stuff to look forward. This is where MS has to pick up the slack and start focusing on their first party stables. I've been beating this drum forever though.

Yes MS could use more, but Halo, Fable, and Gears of War have all sold by the truck load.
Sony has more 1st party titles, but has ultimately sold less (compared to those games anyway).

MS needs more original games, and Sony just needs to push theirs harder I think.
I hope they do this with God of War 3

 

[Nolan.]

The Beatles Rock Band: Embarrassing and funny.
Tony Hawk Ride: Lame and generic crap..
Modern Warfare 2: Cool as expected.
Final Fantasy XIII: Potentially awesome show cut far too short. Are they waiting for Sony to show this off.
Epic XBLA: Not really my cup of tea.
Racing XBLA Game: cool...
Crackdown 2: Never played the first, but after playing infamous I'm a bit excited. Great showing
Left 4 Dead 2: Never played the first, but Its definitely a nice showing.
Splinter Cell Conviction: I don’t like SC games but I thought this was pretty cool.
Forza 3: Nice though it was a bit stale as a presentation
Halo: Talk about franchise milking... good lord.
Alan Wake: Alone in the Dark part deux, gave me a cool silent hill vibe as well.
Online features/Networking/Stuff: you can use a browser in other consoles but MS is integrating this on their interface which is cool though nothing especial.
Metal Gear Rising: HOLY SHIT MSG4 coming to Xbox... oh wait it just a random non main sequel. Still cool I guess..
Xbox Camera Stuff: Very very nice… SONY should be ashamed of themselves. SONY showed this so many times and has brought us all types of games for the eyetoy but MS is taking this way more serious unlike SONY has. Using the camera to traverse the interface should have been since the launch of the PS3… my hats of to MS.
Milo: Creepy in a good way. I doubt the initial game would be any fun but I think the ideas are going to be something especial that will hopefully change the way we see games…

Overall: Good job MS. The pacing was terrible but they had something for everyone. The effort was 110% and it shows. They really didn’t pull any punches and did as good as anyone expected. B+

Even though they seem the same on face value playing them both gave me completely different experiences. Infamous felt like it had something missing not even sure what, it's a good game though. Anyway both are at least good to play and it's nice to have more sandbox games like these so it's win win anyhow.

 

[BruceLeeRoy]

Am I the only one who thinks Alan Wake looks absolutely awesome?

Nope it looks absolutely awesome.

 

[speedpop]

BAM.gif saved forever. Funniest shit.

 

[Setanta]

Interesting from Microsoft, with regards to the motion 'CAM-TROLLER', i don't think they should waste too much of their time on it though, a little time maybe, but not much.

I think the physical aspect of say a virtual 'gun', 'sword' or even 'pointing' with the Wii-Remote can't be topped.

E3: Xbox conference - full PR
Monday 1-Jun-2009 8:07 PM New Halos, Crackdown and Forza detailed inside
Here's Microsoft's full E3 press conference release about all the games that took centre stage.

"Rock out. Duck and cover. Shift into overdrive. On the eve of the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3), Microsoft Corp. today made it perfectly clear: No matter who you are or what games you crave, Xbox 360 is the only gaming and entertainment console for you.

I wonder how is Reggie gonna spin that shit

Reggie: Wii has actual games with waggle not pedo sims and paint

Not that hard?

 

[Kaako]

Yeah we'll see about that. If they are new I hope people actually care about them.

Speaking of, what new .i.p will nintendo have that hardcore gamers actually like?

Don't know about Nintendo, but I'm 99.99% positive we'll see couple of new ips from Sony or ips that had been announced before but kinda forgotten (War devil? New game from HS team?) Looking forward to both conferences though.

 

[CassidyIzABeast]

Generation over. pack it up and go home. Nothing can compete

 

[VALIS]

And in fact, no games support it now.

It's probably a year away at minimum. They made this pretty clear. It still goes by its project codename for crying out loud! Bu..but no games support it now!!! :lol

 

[Mrbob]

Just caught up on everything.

6/10 conference. Shouldn't be too hard for Sony, or heck, even Nintendo to top this one.

+1 Crackdown 2

-1 Valve going to the dark side

Everything else in the middle shades of grey. Don't care about the motion camera. Not really against it either, just have no interest in it.

[dave is ok]

I think MS won the conference war.

Not because they did a particularly great job - but because like last year, they catered to the average fan and not shareholders.

Sony and Nintendo didn't even seem like they tried last year and I expect more of the same this time around.

I like the direction they took. Fast paste action and more cinematic. Hopefully they'll deliver with the story. But out of all the games they showed @ the conference, I'd say Alan Wake had the best showing. Shit looked awesome and right up my alley.

 

[Cygnus X-1]

It's probably a year away at minimum. They made this pretty clear. It still goes by its project codename for crying out loud! Bu..but no games support it now!!! :lol

Well, actually, there is a problem making these kind of annoucements: Sony and Nintendo are now aware of this thing. Could have not been better to keep this a secret project until the final stages of developments with real games supporting it?

Like: "this is our new revolutionary device. It will come out with these games, at this price, at this date".

It would have been much more incisive and much more a threat to the concurrents.

Even better, if this were optimised for a new console, it would probably have been an istant hit.

Why now?

So what exclusives do I get by connecting to LIVE with Final Fantasy XIII?

While I understand what he's talking about when it comes to something like TP (no matter how hard you swing link is still gonna do whatever pre-canned animation they programmed in), there's nothing "pre-set" about Wii Motion Plus software like the Frisbee and sword fighting they showed off last year.

Ah, look what I found tucked away in a far corner of Microsoft's Press Kit site, it is literally the missing montage that should have been at the conference.

 

[-PXG-]

The Beatles Rock Band: Amazing art direction and presentation, but I'm not into the music/ rhythm game thing
Tony Hawk Ride: next...
Modern Warfare 2: Lame at first but got better as it progressed. This will sell shit loads
Final Fantasy XIII: I have the demo. It's awesome. Anything new besides an extra bar?
Shadow Complex: I'm digging it. I'd like to see more though
Joy Ride: Could be fun. Thank goodness it's free
Crackdown 2: HOLY SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT!!!! I shat myself
Splinter Cell Conviction: I've never been into Splinter Cell, but this looked REALLY promising.
Forza 3: At first I thought he was talking about of his ass, but I was really impressed by the end. GT, Polyphony and Sony have really stiff competition...
Halo 3: ODST/ Halo: Reach: WOW! Halo Prime confirmed. Can't wait for this!
Alan Wake: I was actually not impressed. Looked really boring :/
Music/ Movies/ Facebook/ Twitter: All really great features, but stuff I probably won't use.
Metal Gear Rising: Why didn't Kojima have a translator? Can't really say much, since nothing was shown
Project Natal: At first I was like, "DO NOT WANT". By the end, I was floored. This has a ton of potential. I really hope MS doesn't waste this opportunity. That Wii diss was pretty funny too :lol
Milo: Fucking Skynet man. We're fucked. That is all I have to say
