Though I'm waiting for a Metal Gear to show up. This looks a lot like Metal Gear 4. The PS3 one.

Not Interested. Move on.

I actually really liked Splinter Cell Conviction, but this just looks like they drained all the style out of it and inserted generic Modern Warfare.

Ugh...Kinect-based voice "distraction". Bleh.

How does Sam Fisher have a support team after all the stuff that went down in Conviction? Sorry if I actually played Splinter Cell Conviction.

Unfortunately these type of interactions will probably be on WiiU as well. It has all the tech for it. I put this where I put Clicky Sticks. Most people will do a terrible job on implementation.

Unless they are announcing a Rugby game. Don't care again.

broodwars · « **Reply #30 on:** June 04, 2012, 12:47:45 PM »

Oh good, EA Sports is up. I can go slice my Pizza now.

Ceric · « **Reply #31 on:** June 04, 2012, 12:49:29 PM »

Sounds like the voice in this one is being done ok.

Ceric · « **Reply #32 on:** June 04, 2012, 12:50:08 PM »

So far my take away is that Kinect could be replaced with a good mic.

broodwars · « **Reply #33 on:** June 04, 2012, 12:51:09 PM »

Well, EA just destroyed their online userbase with Kinect penalizing players for cursing out the referees.

Ceric · « **Reply #34 on:** June 04, 2012, 12:51:36 PM »

That some wicked delay on that Hike Command.

broodwars · « **Reply #35 on:** June 04, 2012, 12:54:09 PM »

Oh come on, Microsoft! I wanted to see a terrible on-stage demo for Fable: The Journey!

:

EDIT: Gears is up now. I really should get around to checking those games out someday. Forza's up after it.

broodwars · « **Reply #36 on:** June 04, 2012, 12:56:46 PM »

Wow, that's all they had to show for Gears of War: Judgement? A 30 second video, and a 2013 release date? That has to sting for some 360 fans.

EDIT: "Xbox! Skip to a game demo or reveal people actually care about, rather than this Bing crap!"

Shoot I feel cheated and I don't own a 360.

Hey if this was the 90's I might actually care about the NBA.

*yawn* If only I had that legendary mystical device known as a "television", I might be able to watch this "ESPN" and "Nickelodeon." Thankfully, Microsoft comes to the rescue! </sarcasm>

Any big surprises? I've heard about Splinter Cell: Blacklist but I haven't been keeping track of Microsoft's Press Conference since I'm at work. Is Blacklist console exclusive to 360?

Probably. Splinter Cell Conviction was.

Yes! Finally an inevitably terrible Kinect stage demo for a Nike Fitness game after all that boring TV talk!

C'mon, let's see a stage demo!

Ah, I see Microsoft's new Press Conference Sound Test: "The audience is now asleep."

Ceric · « **Reply #43 on:** June 04, 2012, 01:13:36 PM »

I think Lindy and I are the only ones who love are Windows Phones around here. Plus this has been in developement for at least 2 years.

broodwars · « **Reply #44 on:** June 04, 2012, 01:14:25 PM »

Xbox Smart Glass, a way to watch movies etc. on the Go through multiple devices, continuing right where you left off. Cool...I guess.

EDIT: OK, that was not what I was expecting when the guy called for Game of Thrones footage.

broodwars · « **Reply #45 on:** June 04, 2012, 01:17:08 PM »

Well, Microsoft just threw down the gauntlet with Smart Glass, allowing you to use your phones/tablets as game controllers/additional information screens for Xbox 360 games. Nintendo's response should be interesting.

broodwars · « **Reply #46 on:** June 04, 2012, 01:23:59 PM »

Oh **** a game demo at this Microsoft technology press conference (the awesome-looking new Tomb Raider). Quick! Shut it down!

EDIT: Yep, the new Tomb Raider still looks incredible, with lots of environmental kills and cool stuff like stabbing a dude with an arrow!

broodwars · « **Reply #47 on:** June 04, 2012, 01:30:35 PM »

3 Microsoft exclusives now, starting with hack & slasher God of War clone "Ascend: New Gods"; continuing with some sort of Tron-esque motorcycle game; and ending with some Kinect thing I don't understand.

Looks like it's Resident Evil 6 time.

broodwars · « **Reply #48 on:** June 04, 2012, 01:39:37 PM »

Resident Evil 6 looks like a good action game. Don't know about a "good Resident Evil" game, especially with all the Quick Time Events and stuff blowing up.

Kinect-based Angry Birds clone Wreckateer doesn't look...terrible.

EDIT: the South Park RPG looks like more of the South Park I'm already "meh" about. They definitely nailed the look of the show, offensive humor and all. Unfortunately, I really don't like that aspect of South Park.

broodwars · « **Reply #49 on:** June 04, 2012, 01:46:06 PM »

*yawn* Dance Central 3. Someone needs to rescue Harmonix, because I can imagine fewer hells worse than making 3 Kinect Dance Central games in (almost?) as many years.

EDIT: It'd be really nice if all this elaborate dancing was actually to the song in the game...
