Did Microsoft even go to gamescom last year? If so, what was announced?

If they do go, I'm sure they will at least give out holiday release dates and official pricing for Kinect.


Fable III ? or was that somewhere else?

i don't remember but Sony had 2 hour show and Microsoft showed Fable 3 and talked about it.


MS showed Fable III and Sony introduced the slim and the price cut.

Greenberg said they have things to show at gamescom, so I am looking forward to it. But my expectations are pretty low.



Imagine not having GamePass on your console...

MS and GamesCom? I expect nothing at all. All the same stuff from e3, but without Gears3. Maybe an official Kinect price.



A video game called Accounting 101: PIIGS.

It is a click and explain like Microsoft Encarta using Walter Matthau's voice on how Portugal, Italy, Ireland, Greece and Spain can use a combination of cuts to social spending, balanced budgeting, and tax breaks to small business to get their sovereign debt under control.

It will be a combination economics simulation game ala Tropico and 3rd person action game where at times of rioting you are put in the role of a riot police officer with a riot shield, tear gas, stun grenades, and a baton. During these riots, your goal is to control and disperse the crowd via beating individual protesters into submission for your fellow riot police to arrest. If the crowd gets too thick around you, you can use tear gas and stun grenades as crowd control to knock them back and single out individual protesters.



i dont expect nothing... serious..

I expect the price for Kinect to be unveiled and a few core Kinect titles, and Milo & Kate and Fable III showing Kinect.

You are not serious about this, right?

A whole year and M$ didn't announce any interesting games for kinect at E3 2010...**** only.

Where's Halo w/kinect support? Where's GOW w/ kinect support?

Anyway, I already knew this **** was going to be announced at E3 2010.

As for Gamescom, I expect to see the price for kinect. Please M$, be 150 USD or even higher :D



Sorry for bad English.

I heard RARE has more 'core titles for natal to announce and MS has a new RTS in the works

which could be shown....But knowing the dissapointments, I wouldnt hold my breath



-Kinect Price

-Arcade Price (right now we "think" 199)

-Arcade Unit (Will it have WiFi? if so 199, but it might not have the WiFi so 149/179)

-Kingdom info? 

MS already had a show based on Kinect and I do not see them doing it again.  E3 gave them so much press, that I think they should keep the Kinect info to just a price (maybe a new launch title or so).  Move back to the hardware (Arcade Unit prices/when they will release) throw out bundle info and go for the hardcore with Kingdom info (as well as other titles like Gears, Halo and Fable III)

MS is running high right now and I think they are in a great position to keep it running.  No need to blow up the barn here, but release the info people want (the above).  This will cover new users (system prices and Kinect), upgrading old customers (kinect price) and the hardcore (kingdom/gears/halo/fable III)
