Microsoft @ E3 2010

[SykoTech]

Few minutes left. Epic surprise next, right?.....RIGHT?!

[Badnik Mechanic]

Oh dear....

"This is the biggest year for Xbox 360"

It most certainly is... a walking around and sitting in a car simulator.

I'd rather play Crazy Frog Racer.

Owww and heres the new Xbox... it looks exactly like the old Xbox... only it's black!

Aww... the 360 had a baby. :3

[Ferno]

O_____O WUT?!

Slimmer 360?!

[Silencer226]

The new xbox 360, now with everything the ps3 has had since it's launch (except bluray). You're getting all of this... for the same price.

OH! WHAT! I sat through this crap! Don't I get a free Xbox? As compensation surely!

[Kevin]

Forza with Kinect will be interesting.

Finally, built in Wi-Fi! What took you so long, Microsoft?

... THEY ALL GET FREE 360's. DAMN YOU JOURNALISTS! XD

[Sion-Ta]

Okay... Who stepped on my Xbox?! There's like a giant dent in i-oh...

Yeeeeeeeah... This was disappointing. |D;

[SykoTech]

Man, wish I was there. Sitting through that snorefest would have been worth it for a new console. Especially since 360 is the only one I don't have.

[Carbo]

Fuck this

I'm going to go get a PS3

[YoshiUnity]

They all get free 360's...

OH MICROSOFT, YOU LITTLE BITCH!

I would have dealt with all that, if I could have gone, to get some of your ass insurance!

Well that was the most exciting E3 conference since.... Ever!

I for one look forward too the following....

* Walking around car simulator.

* having my picture taken by my Xbox.

* Watching football with American commentary.

* Playing with Skittles.

* Driving a crappy kart racing game.

* Playing MGS Rising and COD on my PS3.

* Watching journalists get a free Xbox.

* Yelling XBOX! STOP! At various store displays.

Microsoft: "This is the biggest and the best year for Xbox 360 yet"

Well color me surprised. Surely I figured Microsoft would add the hundred dollars they seem to think Wi-Fi is worth if they made it built in.

[Kevin]

Free Xbox 360 to the people in the audience? To say that they're lucky is an understatement.

[Silencer226]

Out of all that we got 2 multiplatform games that MS is trying to market as exclusives, Gears 3 which was known, and Halo Reach was was known... Oh yeah and Fable.

[Ferno]

No Free Riders? =(

[YoshiUnity]

So, uh... did anyone see anything about the price point for the Kinect? Anyone?

[JaidynReiman]

Honestly, the only thing that interests me is the new Sonic Riders title. I still have no interest in getting a 360, especially since this Kinect addon is supposed to have a high price tag on it. Yeah.

Here's for Zelda 2010/11 and Sonic 2011. Perhaps some new Kingdom Hearts information from Square or new Fire Emblem from Nintendo. Though I won't hold my hopes up for the latter.

I honestly read this topic only to see if there was gameplay footage for Sonic Free Riders. Sucks there isn't any. Regardless, I hope it really is "Sonic Riders 3" as opposed to "repackaged Sonic Riders." Not that I'm gonna ever get to play it, but still...

[SykoTech]

Best part was Raiden slicing those melons....yeah.

Pretty good demos of Black Ops and Reach as well.

But they spent so much time talking about partnerships and junk rather than games. And then they followed it up with meh casual games. What a bore.

Did they even announce Kinect's price?

2006: Sony FAIL

2008: Nintendo FAIL

2010: Microsoft FAIL

2012: ???? FAIL

*turns to G4*

Oh hey, Spider-Man stuff. Whoo!

[Tornado]

So, uh... did anyone see anything about the price point for the Kinect? Anyone?

Games Radar says that they will probably announce it later in the event.

VERY dissapointing conference to start off E3. Felt like Nintendo's E3 2008 conference and Sony's PS3 conference.

Score: 3/10

[Doctor MK]

Wow. That was a poor, poor show from Microsoft.

The Kinect demos shown were basically all just glorified Wii rip-offs, they had a dance demonstration that rivals Nintendo's Wii Music demo from 2008 for "most memorable demo ever for all the wrong reasons", and... yeah it was boring as hell.

I want a free 360 just for having the patience to sit through it all, and I'm not even a big Microsoft fan!

[SykoTech]

Damn...just now remembering that Rare was announced as the Kinect Sports developer.

So no sequels to past IPs (Banjo, Conker), but a Wii Sports clone?

And I thought what Sega did to the leftover Smilebit members was bad.

[YoshiUnity]

Games Radar says that they will probably announce it later in the event.

Oh, ok. I guess Microsoft is still undecided on "Making cheap enough for more people to buy it." to "Charging it for every dime used to make it." Still, with all the Kinect talk, they should had really had that settled for the conference, imo.
