BTW That link, and you, have two completely different deffinitions for casual games. According to the Casual Games Association

"Developed for the general public and families, casual games are video games that are fun and easy to learn and play.

I really, REALLY doubt Ryse is being developed for the general public or families. Since when ever are M rated games casual? Same goes for Fable, it is a core franchise for 360, using a Kinect controller, versus a conventional controller, makes no difference.

Stop with this now, your own link contradicts you. Ryse and Fable are core, doesn't matter if YOU are interested in them or not. I'm not interested in Sly or Starhawk, but do I exclude them as core titles? Sly Cooper actually fits that definition much better then Ryse since it's an E rated game, developed for a more general audience.

If you really think that Fable Kinect is going to play anything like the Fable series proper then i got some ocean front property to sell you. The man said himself that most of the time will be spent on a horse. I never played a Fable game like that. Casual or not, does not matter, but to say that it will be a Fable game like the others only using Kinect is just ignorance. 

I'm not a fan of Fable, so I'm going to rip on it. The games battle system is basically 3 buttons X - Sword Attack, Y - Gun, B - Magic. A is used to jump, and I believe there is a button for block. There are almost no combos in attacking, and dodging is done by moving the joystick. This is one of the most simple 360 exclusives you could possibly play. Trust me when I say this, you can get almost the same experience with a Kinect controller. It might lack a bit since it won't have a social wheel, but then again Kinect reads speech. It won't be the same, but I wouldn't classify this as a casual game any more then a traditional Fable.

I mean, if they made a Conker's Bad Fur Day 2 Kinect, would you classify that as casual? Not with the adult humor it shares with Fable.

Control-wise, Fable: The Journey probably won't be as good as Fable 1-3, but the experience will not differ drastically. If this were Halo FPS, that would be a different story, but Fable has always been a simple franchise, it works with Kinect.


you must have been playing a different Fable game than i played, if you think that the experiences of the Fable series can be translated to to Kinect without losing anything then you either are clearly overestimating the power of Kinect and Peter Molyneux  or you are high on LSD. The man himself already stated that it would NOT be the same experience, its coming straight from the horse's mouth. I dont know why you keep harping on this casual thing, ididnt even make on stance on the subject either way. But screw, no, it wont be casual, you happy? ill say this, it will probably suck and it has nothing to do with the Kinect, at least not mostly



Around the Network

Wii didn't have a better conference, Nintendo had. But it was obvious from the beginning, you can do whatever you want when you ave a new hardware to present, still it'll be the most talked about. Even if they failed to deliver a great presentation for Wii U, still it showed a big change from Wii and a Nintendo trying to reach both markets...Sony had a good conference, as good as the last one, plus Vita's price was maybe the most surprising thing of the entire E3. Microsoft...Halo and Kinect, nothing bad about them but still it has been an average event, not an E3 one. The next one should be enteresting with maybe even the 3 main consoles announced/presented (I know, Sony "doesn't need PS4", but industry =/= Sony, if they jump on Wii U making better multiplatform games I doubt Sony will sit and see).



CURRENTLY PLAYING: Xenoblade (Wii), Super mario 3D land (3DS), Guild Wars (PC)

All I wanted to say is it's a core game. That's what STAGE and I have been arguing about, when you came in.

What specifically about Fable Kinect will make the game less appealing to a Fable fan? Obviously it won't be the same experience, but why will it be worse then any other Fable? Instead of a social wheel you tell it commands (wasn't Milo responsive to hundreds of commands?). Instead of A to jump, you jump, instead of an analog stick, you lean, instead of XYB, you have three different hand gestures. Heck, since Kinect recognizes hand gestures why not remove the whole magic submenu and make every magic spell a different command. Fable isn't a fast paced FPS or racing game, why would a different controller hinder the experience? Can't it just be different?

Also Peter Molyneux overhypes every game he makes. Why would he flat out say this game will suck? I've heard interviews, he is just as exceited for this project as he has been for any other.

The thread is rediculous because we are on vgsony. I mean vgchart
Anything against Sony is met in force by 80% of the sites users.


The consensus all around is that Microsoft lost E3. They marketed it to the core and most sites and people rated it Nintendo> Sony> Microsoft or Sony> Nintendo> Microsoft. It's not just this site. If we're talking about the general audience of people who dont really game and would game casually then Nintendo>Microsoft>Sony. It's that simple.

Consumers all around said Microsoft had a worse E3 press conference then Sony and Nintendo, but you're bending the truth to make the PS3 look better then it is.

Nowhere online does it say the PS3 and Wii portion of Sony's and Nintendo's Press conferences were better then MS's press conference (remember Sony and Nintendo have 4 consoles to talk about, MS only has the 360). In fact when you watch Bonus Round, or any other major websites, people say the Wii portion of Nintendo's press conference was just an all out dissapointment, and most people say 360 > PS3. Just look at this thread too, you are one of the few people arguing PS3 > 360.

So in conclusion Sony/Nintendo >> Microsoft, but 360>PS3>>>Wii

I don't get this....

Let's review the title: Explain to me how PS3 and Wii had better E3 than 360

Now this statement: Nowhere online does it say the PS3 and Wii portion of Sony's and Nintendo's Press conferences were better then MS's press conference

Sooo.... you want people to explain how the PS3 / Wii had a better conference than the 360, then claim no one is actually making a statement indicating that PS3 / Wii had a better conference than the 360.

Who are you trying to refute then?

Who are these people specifically singling out 360, PS3 and Wii performance and claiming that the 360 had worst showing?


Lots of PS3 fans on this site, so OP may be in regards to forum comments, but I don't read anywhere, who honestly thought Wii was better then PS3 or 360.

Also I didn't make the thread, so ask thx1139 these questions.

I claim large scale professional websites and the journalists among them never said PS3 had a better press conference then 360.

STAGE watches Bonus Round, so I was just pointing out in Bonus Round itself they said the same thing. 360 debatably had a better press conference then Sony themselves. If you really hate Kinect and Halo, then I can see why someone like STAGE would prefer PS3, but he shouldn't just crop out all the core Kinect titles and limit the 360 core lineup to a couple games this fall and Halo, and then crop out Halo 4 since it's released in fall 2012 (like Starhawk and other PS3 games).

I see a lot of people claiming Sony had a better press conference than MS, I also saw a lot of pissed off 360 fan (and a lot of troll) hate on the MS conference due to kinect. Who are claiming spefically PS3 > 360?

Regardless I see that I too made a mistake, you didn't start the thread.

It's quite the opposite I think...

And it isn't because it's AGAINST Sony, it's because it's a lie. If people are arguing over who won E3 it would be Sony vs. Nintendo, I think we can all agree that Microsoft did not have the best E3 conference, even die hard XBOX 360 fans. If somebody claims that Microsoft had the best E3, do you expect people just to nod and agree with him? No. To claim that anybody who says Microsoft didn't have the best E3 conference is a SONY fanboy is just idiotic.

Everyone has their own preferences, not a fan of Kinect either, but I don't ignore the Kinect games just because they don't appeal to me. Some look pretty cool, but they don't justify the purchase of a camera that costs as much as a console. MS has shifted its marketing strategy heavily, but it's mainly to keep the system fresh. They didn't expect to have an extended console life like this. Personally I'd rather have them invest less in Kinect, and put some money into Rare to make a good new Conker or Killer Instinct title.

Also, I only see one or two people claiming PS3 > 360 at this E3. There is STAGE and....that's it in this thread. It's fine to have your own preference, Wii, 360, and PS3 all failed to announce too many good new games. Just don't say one is better then the other because of all the games to competition offers, are not your type. The Wii games I am interested in weren't talked about at this E3, and Sony really only showed Uncharted 3 for PS3, but I don't go rubbing around the IMO superrior 360 upcoming lineup.

I just hate ignorance, some people can be pretty dumb (not pointing fingers), and I hate ignorant people ignore facts, but think they are right and press on it...

Man I found that sesame street/disney presentation the biggest bore of my life, as if someone who has interest in those games is likely to watch E3, catering to the wrong audience MS here, should have showed it on Oprah instead.



you do realise E3 is not meant for gamers but mostly for other professional of the industry and retailers.... so from that angle those 2 games are right where they are suppose to be when you want to show what you wanna do in different segment of the industry

Are you kidding? all that stuff you said sounds cool, but it will NOT be in this Fable Kinect game. Pete didnt mention any of those features, so im just gonna assume they will not be in the final game, at least for now. How the hell do you expect to move in a 3d world with just Kinect?? I havent seen a game do it yet. Im not saying it wont appeal to Fable fans, dont know where your getting that, hell the on rail REs appeal to RE fans, thats the point of those games. Cash in on the name of a popular franchise. FYI, did you read the part where he said that most of the game will be on a horse??

You do know Fable Kinect has movement? One big think Lionhead Studios was ripped on about was that people thought Fable: The Journey was "on rails." However it isn't it has free world exploring. Most likely not as expansive as Fable 1-3, but you can move around. Remember the Ghost Recon Kinect demo? Remember for a breif moment he played that game using only the Kinect controller? He moved forward by stepping forward, and shot by sticking up all his fingers.

What is RE? Fable: The Journey is not on rails. Peter Monyloux explained tha, and he said he should have showed other footage in the game then just that. From what i hear from Peter Monyloux, what I explained is what he wants, but knowing him, we won't get it until Fable: The Second Journey.

I read how most of the game you will ride a horse. Is that suppose to be bad? You ride a horse all the time in Ocarina of Time in Hyrule.

I'm not trying to argue Fable: TJ will be as good as Fable 1-3, but only that it won't be bad. I'm not ready to write off the game until it's closer to release.
