Also the FF13 bit

there was no buzz int he audience for that

Well to be fair they annouced its coming out in Spring 2010, which i doubt anyone will believe it until we see FFXIII released in Japan and a firm US/EU release date (fingers crossed EU / PAL regions get it before 2011) - remember the game was annouced in 2005, expected to come out 2007. Then 2008. Then 2009. Now 2010...



Around the Network

Best: Alan Wake/ Natal/ Sky TV :P
Worst: Tony Hawk Ride



best: alan wake - pure awesome.

worst: facebook/twitter. seriously - just put in a web browser already or is big plan to just piecemeal the internet onto the 360 a little bit each year and call it an accomplishment?!?

laughable: natal. the way some 360 fanboys turned from making fun of the wii to championing the natal is just priceless. the only thing the natal will rival is onlive in terms of most laughable announcement of the year.



Best: L4D2, 1080p video streaming, SC: C looked OK so far :P

Worst: Natal looks way to casual, MGS R with no gameplay or basicly any real info, NO massive gaming announcement ( aka: Bioshock/GTA/MGS exclusivity), way to shooter and Halo oriented presentation, gimmicky XBL features...



Vote the Mayor for Mayor!

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

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.

I can't say that bragging that it will be better than those 2 is much to brag about



Best: Alan Wake gameplay and Milo. Followed closely by Kojima.

Worst: The girl from the hills speaking about twitter and facebook. Really poor performance, she was too nervous and seemed like she was inept at speaking publicly



Best: Left 4 Dead 2. L4D is my favorite game on the 360. Simply a great game.

Worst: Left 4 Dead 2. How can Valve release the sequel one year after the original? They should be releasing a map pack or other functionality to properly support L4D. As much as I love L4D, it was unfinished when it was released. The latest update finally gave us the final 2 maps in MP.

Worst #2: That Natal thing. Why is this any different than the eyetoy? It seemed like MS's tech demos were direct copies of the Sony eyetoy demos. Also, don't have LionHead waste their time on this one. Let Rare work on it.



Thanks for the input, Jeff.

 

 

Best - Metal Gear solid rising. Not because I am a fan (I am not) but because it looks cool.

Worst - Project NATAL, the jumping girl, the Mario Kart rip off, tony hawk showinmg his controler, the mattrick dude, twitter and facebook (are they joking?!), lack of more interesting games to show.

This was SO close to be like Nintendo's last years conference.

Its more laughable that the potential of the camera cannot be seen by closed mindedness and by insulting generalisations.

Any Wii owner should be happy that the motion control has inspired future technology and thinking in gaming which is the step MS and possibly Sony is taking. Incidentally, Ubisoft also announced a Wii camera for one of their games.
