skip on 02 June 2009

Best: alan wake, mgs

Worst: facebook/twitter, epics demonstration being cut short because of a glitch, Natal presentation

 

Sidenote: kojima should have came on stage in a cardboard box and reveal himself when that classic metalgear alert sound plays.

For me personally

Aint Twitter getting just as big as Facebook, MySpace, Bebo and the rest of he big social sites though?

It could be potentially big, depending on how well its marketted.

Best -

Final Fantasy XIII Spring 2010 release date... but likely later in UK
Modern Warfare 2 gameplay was great
I was impressed with SC and AW, but I won't be buying either
The Beatles intro was really impressive
The way they moved through it quickly
The tech behind Natal
Pontential HD on demand, but I doubt it will work on my internet connection

Worst-

Don Mattrick
The rubbish arcade racer that I have forgotten
Don Mattrick
Me not caring about the Natal
Don Mattrick
Lionhead not making a proper game this year
Don Mattrick
Too much on the social stuff that I did not care about
Don Mattrick
The way they went on about how Forza 3 was the definitive game and all the customisation stuff
Don Mattrick
The distinct lack of Mass Effect 2 and Mistwalker

Oh and I have mentioned?

Don Mattrick, he was close to Cammie in terms of hatred

LMFAO hilarious.

Best: NATAL (even though we still know so little), MGS: Rising and Halo: Reach

Worst: the bad attempt at copying mario kart, Forza 3 reveal, the implementation of watching TV on your TV via 360(were they serious?) and the implementation of facebook / twitter on 360 (The idea is good, but the implementation is poor)

Don Mattrick
Way too long on the Beatles.

I agree with your worst, Don Mattrick has a face you just want to slap doesn't he?

I love Don Mattrick.  I just hate what he does.

Best - Splinter Cell: Conviction reveal, and Left 4 Dead 2

Worst - Forza 2 dev kept on talking about 'definitive' this and that about this generation of consoles, yet we haven't even had the GT reveal yet... I just thought he should wait before proclaiming that, cause he'd look stupid if GT5 pwned;  Also Don Mattrick's self-claps after everything were annoying;  Also Kudo taking pot-shots at the Wii waggle, when his avatar flipped out when trying to view the bottom of the shoe was poetic justice.

I think he knows that Gran Turismo will be better than Forza, so he's bragging it up while he can. Not that I'm impressed. He's basically saying that it will be better than Need for Speed, Grid, Burnout, and...the last Forza.

But personally, I think SHiFT looked much better, and they presented it without saying this is a greatest game ever

Traffic ranks (out of all websites) worldwide:

Twitter: 43

Facebook: 4

Myspace: 9

Bebo: 149

It's nowhere near as big as Facebook or Myspace, I can tell you that. I've never even heard of Bebo, but it's definitely not as popular as Twitter.

Well I'm talking about past Need for Speeds. To me, he was bragging that Forza 3 will be better than the likes of Need for Speed Prostreet and Undercover.
