This being my first conference, I actually thought it was great!

So much better than any Nintendo E3 presentation has been in years. I was so sick of being let down, but Microsoft pulled out a win for me this time!

Only a few games, but they all were pretty decent, especially the news that the "Xbox One" is getting COD Ghosts first.

 

The Voice and Kinect were really amazing as well, blows the Gamepad out of the water I think.

 

 

9/10

I was not that hyped after all the strange rumors over the past few months, but Microsoft turned it all around.

Thank you for not letting me down Microsoft!

No it isn't, just the DLC. 



Sigs are dumb. And so are you!

Bad. Almost zero gameplay footage. Overwhelming amount of focus on entertainment. At one point I was wondering if this box could even play games anymore. To be honest this was all expected, but I was hoping MS would do better. Anyway I look forward to E3 with hope for the 15 new exclusives that they have.



Sony did the same. most of   itr was tech demo which are useless because graphics fidelty shown in demo are no representation of teh final product taht us consumers get. Great example was killzone 2 debacle at e3 when they announced the ps3. What we got shown compared to what we got as a final product was competely different and no where near as good as what we got shown in taht vide. Hence why i taking the kill zone footage with a grain of salt till  the final product comes out. Hoep it stays the same. Did you pay attention to what they said. This conference was all about teh amchine hence why it was only 1 hour conference not two unlike sony and tehy said e3 will all be about games. Why use up all your tricks when you can savor them to when it coutns at e3 .

are u serious did u even see PS4 conference... or just watched few trailers online!? U are saying Killzone shadow fall was not running on PS4... and GG didnt upload the gamplay to FB via ps4.. And if xbox conference was about the machine. tell me what GPU does it have whats the CPU's clock speed what are the back ports besides HDMI's?? 


Yes i watched the entire  2hour conference. Both focussed on the social aspects of it .  Saw all teh tech domos that they illustrated . Mos tof th sony conference focused on the controller and teh sahre function and how it would be integrated in their new social space where you can post simultaneously game screenshot of epic moments to yoru friend snd tehy can see it almost instant . Sony mainly focussed on the social media features just like ms did . the only diffrence is thsat sony had an extra hour in their reveal which allowed them to show those tech demos and trailers.   They announced a few games and trailers that had no in gmae graphics let alone gamplay. Like i saids the tech dEmo only show whats capable of teh ps4 and majority of the time the games using those engines don't look as good as the tech demos .  i said i don't believe that those are the real time graphics  shown for killzone 4 because of what GG did with killzone 2 when they revealed the ps3 at that time . We all know teh graphics shown at ps3 reveal for KZ2  adn teh final product we got was not even close. the final retail copy ended up haviNGworse graphics then what they presented at e3 for the ps3 reveal.

 Should have specify , itS bout tHEe hmachine and capabilites of teh machine and teh freatures it has to interact socially much likE what ps4 did when sony revealed teh machine :) The hardward is most likely teh same as the ps4. Most likely usb 3.0 porst and teh slot to plug in the kinect just like the 360 had.


oh so u didnt notice a guy playing Killzone on the stage... and also the same gameplay was played by Jimmy Fallon on his show... Just recently GG released break down of those graphics, the those break down were even analyzed by Eurogamer....  still u wanna argue it wasnt actual graphics 

what MS showed was a DVR which can play games too if u have internet connection and no friends...

It was awful.
90% of the show was about sports.
Very little actual gameplay.
Nothing about indies.
Ugly looking console.
Stupid Kinect features that I don't care about.
Another COD game.

2/10


Did you even py attention to what tehy announce prior to reveal. they said e3 will be all about games hence the 1 hour reveal. They do have to introduce teh machine first before teh games,, so i do not what you were expectign as they mad it quite clear as to what they will showing at the reveal

I thought it started great! New features, fast system, Skype, new Kinect, confirmed Blu-ray, great speech movement improvements, Snapping, fast switching. So exited.

Then it was sports, sports and more sports. I really don't care about them at all. And more sports! Now fantasy American Football! (Starting to wonder if I should have stayed in bed.)

And a dog. Ugh, another dog? Now it's Fable of Duty? Seriously? How about seeing some other kids of games? Or just other games in general? Even talk about the specs, that would be more interesting that more sports or Dog of Duty.

But the absolute worst part for me is Steven Spielberg's involvement in the Halo TV show. I fear he will dumb it down and ruin it. Ruin it bad he will. Terra Nova - I wanted to like that show cause it had some good actors And dinosaurs, but even that couldn't save it. Seriously, Steven – create your own show!

The Halo service 'Forward Unto Dawn' team was great! They should be doing the show - smart, slick, good acting, and very talented. But no, some guy who used to make good movies runs in and takes over. So very sad about that I am.

So I give it a 5/10 and am no longer a day one buyer. At least with what I have seen so far.

He won't ruin it at all. The people behind the Halo bible are in control of this project.

I did notice that but they did the same ith KZ 2 reveal as well. Liek i said the section which you saw can be easily created to show the technical capabilities of the machine. i have mentioned before i hope the final game are those graphics. People running game industry are great liars and GG has lied before and even gearboz with aliens colonial marines have lied before so yea i am not going to beleive it till i am playing teh actual game on my ps4. is that hard for you to understand and comprehend?  Till then i going reserve my thoughts till i get the copy of the game to play. they showed forza, ea sports game, and cod which is not great but kk considering they only had one hour and tehy pretty much said e3 will be all about games.  You don't need to be always onlien to play games . it has been confirmed by mz. Same with sony for teh share button to be of any use you have to be online to share and you will need friends to share with it. SO your arguemnt there is pointless. You obviously wa snot payign attention to ms reveal if you think ms was only showing teh dvr :)

Sorry to be nit-picky but Ram shouldn't even be in there. Third party support should be in there too.

That chart is far to black/white to be accurate. There is a huge gray range where different people put different amounts of importance into different categories.

It was basically what i expected, although, for me, there were some little letdowns.
I didn`t watch right from the start, so i could be wrong, but:
Kinect is basically the same thing as the first one. And because of that i don`t see a lot of casuals/kids/non gamers jumping on this one just for a better experience;
I thought that MS would show the same funcionalities as the PS4, like let you play a game from the distance.

Also, in terms of games, the "exclusive" part were smaller than the exclusive contente Sony announced and that Remedy teaser was just a bit underwhelming.

But, from the american gamer point of view there`s a lot for them with all that media stuff like the NFL partnership; The Halo series is really awesome news for me.
Recording stuff and putting them in the cloud is a really good move.

Overall, it was a really good conference and did deliver, just not as much as the Sony conference, which ends up offering something that anyone, no matter where is, can take advantage of and actually be interested.

Plz ur  argument is just weak.. abt the KZ2.. soon after that presentation Sony did admit it was a target render trailer but. later at some E3 they did show actual gameplay footage, and guess what it turned out to be exact same game.. and same goes with KZ3 KZM UC2 UC3, i can go on the games which turned out to be exactly like they showed at unvieling.. u dont have anything to back up ur claim, ur just blabering about 

While MS didnt even show the gaming capabilities of its machine, how games will look on X1.. they just showed in engine pre rendered trailers full of cutscenes. Oh no wait Activision did say COD Ghost trailer was running on Xbox... great 

And MS did confirm that u cannot play games if u are offline for more than 24hrs.. And If u want to give sell ur game to ur friend then he would need to pay the full price.. do u want me to give u a link what Phil Harrison just confirmed

Anyone noticed how there was ZERO talk about Indie games? As in, shown.



UnitSmiley on 21 May 2013

My friend and I were watching it together at his house. We are both Sony fans and were watching just to see what Microsoft has in store.

Both of us were high fiving at the end of the conference. Not threatened at all lol.
