@ making music

Yeah, cuz they're FREE.

Would you pay to play flash games?

Makingmusic - That's the point. The internet can fill my flash game addiction for free.

The limitations of Flash are huge. This is a full-fledged developmental tool available to any user, any time, with the ability to post that game up on a massive community for others to play and review.

Entirely different worlds.

One potential negative about user generated games is that it opens up the possibility for malware.

@ Rocketpig

I never said I wasn't excited, the particulars of it don't excite me. And I'm more concerned with the "why" right now.

Disolitude - not really.

PooperScooper - yes really.


actually.. no...


While I diasagree with Disolutes comment that the conference is more news then Sony and Nintendo combined. I do agree that MS tends to only show off games that are coming out in the near future, unlike Sony who likes to dangle carrots in front of its users.


Fable 2 seems to disagree, as we still don't have a date for that game.

Uncharted was shown last E3 and came out in July...

pwned?


Molyneux has a presentation in two days specifically about Fable 2. Shocking that MS didn't blow his wad for him two days before his keynote.

Try again.

Very true. I wonder what kind of safeguards MS is putting in place regarding that.

Gebx you should have just said "Actually Yes it is" and kept it going for someone to go "Actually I think not" you ruined it =

Yeah man. This was going to be the greatest thread ever. :)

I think user generated material will atract more wannabe game developers, and might actually get more people interested in making it a career. That being said I don't think it appeals to that many people though.

How long has Fable 2 been in development, known about, etc?

You try again.

Why?

Because it's a bitchin' idea that will bring indy developers to the 360 in droves.
