Well, I came home late to a recording of MS' conference. And skipped all the parts I found boring. That's one way to watch the conference in 5 minutes

What I liked-
XBLA teaser trailers.-New Twisted Pixel game :D
Smart Glass- Too bad this was a gaming convention...

That's about it.

Disclaimer: I missed the Halo trailer


need to find that halo stuff, they showed some gameplay too. it's looking good.



Around the Network

Disappointed by the ending. Overall was alright.




starcraft: "I and every PS3 fanboy alive are waiting for Versus more than FFXIII.
Me since the games were revealed, the fanboys since E3."

Skeeuk: "playstation 3 is the ultimate in gaming acceleration"

Looking on the bright side, now I have plenty of fucks to spend on Nintendo :D



Ok who and when is the next conference?



I am the black sheep     "of course I'm crazy, but that doesn't mean I'm wrong."-Robert Anton Wilson

people shouldn't forget microsoft only has one console. if they would have a handheld they surely could show more games in 90 minuts. other companies don't have more time but 2 devices, everyone should clearly know they have more games in the conference before the conferences starts.

we had 9 or 10 exclusives and some games like cod and resi, you can't expect much more for one console (only which games is the question, but that is just own preference)



Around the Network

I wish they would've have shown some gameplay of Gears of War Judgement since it comes out in the spring



Xbox conference in a nutshell:
- A few games (Halo, Splinter Cell) with Kinect elements
Splinter cell doesn't look particularly stealthy
Sports stuff + entertainment for 20 minutes - am I missing something? I didn't think that a room full of gamers would care that much about an athletic program on the 360
Tablet application thing (Smartglass)- seems to do a lot of stuff; none of which I really cared about enough to understand.
Tomb Raider - lots of shooting in that game too. Looks very nice though
God of War.. whoops- I mean, New Gods: Ascension
RE6 - running from massive explosions and insane helicopter scenes are always good. Looked very actiony compared to, say, Revelations. Quick-time events ahoy!
3D angry birds-like game on Xbox live (Wreckatier) "Sounds pretty raaad to me" = quote of the show?
South Park: The Stick of Truth- I know that some were excited about this, but I don't really care. Looks good if south park is your thing
Obligitary dance game- Dance Central 3. Live dance + music session on the show floor, which was pretty entertaining (how many celebrity/famous appearances are going to appear in this conference? :o) Usher got the largest round of applause of the whole show, haha
Black Ops 2 finally appears at the end (was expecting at the beginning) - honestly, it's one of the best things I saw in the conference. Looked like some new features (could choose route, like Crysis 2). WOW THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR 10 MINUTES NOW - is there no big surprise at the end?
Nope, I guess not. I'm really underwhelmed, to be honest- MS to have weakest E3 for 3 years running?

^just my thoughts that I was typing as the conference was going on

Terrible conference. Can't believe they ended it like that.



Ok, next up is Sony. I hope they concentrate more on games...



an average conference, showed some boring stuff but loved the tombraider footage. other positives are halo,gears,splinter cell,re6 and possibly forza(didnt see so cant judge) when it comes to bo2 were used to cod at ms press conferences so its nothing new at all.

when it comes to the 3 new ips they werent big reveals so cant judge.

id give it a 7/10



Being in 3rd place never felt so good
