I will say this for people under-rating it. Last year a LOT of people who now have their avatar plastered everywhere - FB/Twitt pix, our tags here, blogs, etc. - were saying 6/10 because avatars and NXE were stupid and no one cares about Netflix, etc. etc. etc. Bull. The stuff they showed today is genius. just the two Halos and Modern Warfare 2 is like 25 million software units sold.
Those of you saying Natal and Milo is Eyetoy/Wiimote ripoff are so short-sighted and non-creative, it makes me sad. No. Vision cam was an eyetoy ripoff. you're in the Movies was an eyetoy ripoff. This is something totally new and different if it works ANYWHERE near what they showed. Look at how inaccurate the Wiimote is. If they can be more accurate than that in 3D space and voice and face recog. WITHOUT a remote? You're blind if you don't see the difference. And the depth and difficulty of creating that Lionhead software? If that is a true demo, that's bonkers. Think of how hard it is to develop a text conversation ala Mass Effect. Then make it so you can say anything (!?!?!) to the character and have it keep running? And the depth of emotion and tonal recognition?
Alan Wake looked WAY better and interesting than I thought it would.
Left 4 Dead 2 is a sequel to a huge and fun hit.
MGS is a good get.
That FREE avatar cart racer with microtransactions could be a great thing.
The streaming music completes the media center capabilities without needing a PC connection.
Basically confirming Halo 4 coming FROM BUNGIE!!!! And ODST looks like more great fun and fan-serving goodness from Bungie.
Forza 3 looks like a good answer to GT5 - we'll see more tomorrow, I'd guess.
Don't forget time exclusive on the Modern Warfare 2 map packs for the biggest selling stand alone game (COD4) on a console where shooters rule.
Don't underestimate the power of facebook and Twitter either.
And on a personal note......oh thank you god for Crackdown 2.
I don't know what else people want. yes, they could have repeated every game we'll see everywhere - Mass Effect 2, Lost Planet 2, Dead Rising 2, Madden, EA Sports, Assassin's Creed 2, Mirror's Edge 2, Dragons Age Origins, Bioshock 2, Crysis 2, etc. etc. But the show was already like 2 hours.
If you want considerably more than what they showed, you are REALLY hard to please or you're a hater.
Can't we all just get along and play our games in peace?
