Yea, I know there are two zillion other threads about the conference right now, but it deserves another one.....right? After watching the conference here are my pro's and con's of the conference.
PROS
- The Modern Warfare 2 gameplay was simply amazing. It was all quite normal until the action started, and once the action started it was insane
- The Left 4 Dead 2 trailer was hot, and seriously cool. 'If we run out of bullets, we'l make 'em wish we had them'
- Splinter Cell Conviction again looks fantastic, Im sure it has alot more followers now than what it did.
- Alan Wake looked tense and dramatic. Very like Resident Evil 5 which can be a good or bad thing
- Yea, MGS on the 360. Smart move Microsoft, probably the most talked about element of the conference
- Forza 3 looks to eclipse all racing games (bar Gran Turismo 5) by quite a distance. With beautiful graphics and amazing customization options you can tell it's gona be a hit
- Crackdown 2, need I say more?
- 2 new Halo games announced, you can't go wrong with announcing Halo
- The NATAL project has alot of potential
- Others : The partnerships with Sky, the music station, Facebook and Twitter make the 360 a main living room feature
CONS
- No Rare/Lionhead game
- Alan Wake still a year away, didn't look graphically spectacular to me. With a year left it will end up looking amazing but right now it's not really anything special visually (my opinion)
- That Guild girl tried to be funny and failed. She also said 'and thats cool' way too much
- Seriously, a Beattles Rock band game is not worth 10 minutes of an E3 conference
- No Master Chief in ODST
- NATAL looks to be limited to a select group of games
- Don Mattrick kept boasting way too much, and clapped himself far too much
- Milo, what can I say. This is the saddest thing Ive ever seen. The technology behind it was fantastic, yes....but I mean this is a losers dream. You should go outside, talk to real people, have a social life. This is promoting talking to a virtual character through a screen
So, whats yours?
