Not so hot, sorry.

First, while I applaud G4 for taking this live, there are couple of problems. First, those of us on the East Coast shouldn't have to be up to 1am to see the thing. Second, the HALO 3 trailer. You know how sometimes you watch a porno, and the director cuts away from the money shot?

Yeah, me neither. WTF were they thinking but putting a commercial THERE? It's not like they couldn't anticipate it.

As for MS, I acknowlege that after the last few years, with all the new launches, conferences that focus on the software are going to feel a little lackluster. Probably be true of Nintendo and Sony. And I give them credit for spinning the sales numbers really well at the start (I'll let someone more knowlegably critique or verify that spin).

But I think the decision to focus on this years games almost exclusively was a mistake. Maybe its just me, but it felt like they were desperate to get the 360 over the top this year, maybe thinking that they need to bury Sony now or never. I think gamers need to be reassured of three things: First that there are games worth playing now, second that the console has a future, and third, that the console is worth getting.

I think they did a smash up job with the first, and ignored the second. The third? I think they should have closed the deal with "And all this can be yours for just $329!"

If I had a 360 (and eventually I will), I would be thrilled, but I'm not convinced to put down my 4 bills (plus more for the Elite, plus more for the Live Gold, plus more for the exclusive content).

And what the hell was with the Halo console? Other than a craptastic color choice (yeah, so many homes are decorating in avocado nowadays), what's its features? Is it an Elite? Premium? Core? Does it cost extra? Is it a bundle? WTF? Seems to me that would have been the PERFECT time to announce the price cut.

 no its gona cost extra cuz u pay for plastic halo 3 things that will come with it

Halo 3 looked disappointing to me too. I mean did it really blow anyone away? I expected a much better looking and much better made trailer to wow people.

On the feed it looked like the beta LOL the viewing area was crappy on the feed, I'm talking like a bit smaller than a youtube video. So, I can't judge if the graphics had anything, but the trailer wasn't anything special.


 Killzone 2 news is embargoed till 1 AM tonight Pacific Time LOL

It's gonna be a long night. At 1 AM 1up is gonna start spilling the beans and I'm sure others will too. 



Thanks to Blacksaber for the sig!

VERY DISAPOINTED IN MICROSOFT. Its pretty much what I expected. I like that Mass Effect coming out this November and RE5 looks great and Call Of Duty 4 looks amazing. Disapointed with no new major announcements, Assassin Creed made me lost interest and Halo 3 was disapointing to me. Halo is a masterpeice franchises and deserves better visualise then what I saw at E3. REALLY DISAPOINTED. Sony may have a chance of out doi ng MICROSOFT but I will say Call Of Duty 4 OMG this better come out this year

just got back from E3 (was setting some AV gear for the night) and seriously that was the worst conferance i've seen MS do for a long time. it was soooo shitty. and especially the less than enthusiastic applause (or lack there of) for the new Halo3 trailer.
MS really let us down this year. seems as though they've truely run out of steam.
now i look to toward nintendo and sony for the chance to rid my mind of the horror that was the MS press conferance.

What line up was MS talking about "the biggest line up" I havent seen anytin on nintendo so I cant comment on them but wat da F is M$ talkin about? Only 12 exclusives this year, and all those sport games are multi plat, and not only that but the other console(still cant comment on sony either) has 15 exclusives due out this fall, I should have never stayed up till 1 am now Im screwed AAND F#ING MAD THAT THEY DIDNT PORT MGS4!!!!!! WHY DA F dIdNT IT GO TO 360?!!!!!!! WHY!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am so mad, they didnt even announce anytin new, I cant wait till nintedo woops ass and sony , I was rootin for microsoft but they made me regret ever buying a 360.

Umm they mentioned about 24 titles for this year that are very good quality.. And there are many others that didn't even get mentioned that're coming out this year as well...  You have to be in denial not to admit Microsoft has an amazing line-up this year (for hardcore gamers anyways).

I laughed so hard when they announced the new movies on Xbox Live. Winnie the Pooh! Now that's hardcore.

Other than that: BORING

 well with that their going after the causual gamers and familys but the core doesnt have a hdd for storing stuff and the premium is too much for casuals

I feel that sony's 'price drop' is gonna get more press than the entire microsoft confrence... that's sad.

I thought Halo 3 single player looked stunning... Not sure what people expected but I thought it was one of the top 2 best looking games there.

Graphically? Here was my order:

Call of Duty 4

Mass Effect

Assassin's Creed

The rest of the stuff was not amazing including Halo 3.

Edit: Splinter Cell Conviction also looked amazing and that is 360 only.
