First time I've seen that. That looks really interesting!
Be interesting to see how it turns out.

Very surprised at the blinkered attitudes of some people here. For a start, not really like Home at all. It's also not really like Mii's, as an interface it looks completely different to those.

Well its not like anything, but it is similar on the eye to what itunes and Nintendo have done. MS are being fashion conscious with the masses in mind, they want to own the living room remember, not the bedroom.

They better show the Fallout 3 demo, stupid IGN.

Peve · 15 Jul 2008 at 22:24

Disappointing was really wanting to see res 5

Where are you watching the RE5 presentation? IGN aren't showing it, just a random screen saying Live Wire...

it was up then it crashed

just had a glimpse of the lovely lady looking fed up though and its back to the live wire screen again

Back!
Why are they starting again?! :S

I think they are going to show Fallout later, think they are starting the 30 mins from now

Peve · 15 Jul 2008 at 22:25

Oh got something now!

d3moliti0n · 15 Jul 2008 at 22:25

It's back up now.

insane200 · 15 Jul 2008 at 22:26

its back

I really don't like this co-op gameplay.

gamerTM21 · 15 Jul 2008 at 22:30

Yeh, would be fun with a mate, but seems boring when it is controlled by the AI..

d3moliti0n · 15 Jul 2008 at 22:37

That was pretty cool, RE5 looks awesome. The co-op gameplay looks like it could be good.

Co-op looks awesome, i think its the best thing about this resident evil. I can never really play horror games on my own so playing it with a mate will be some good fun.

whats not to like?

insane200 · 15 Jul 2008 at 22:37

looks a bit slow and clunky

might be a rent.

Oh, I don't mind that it looks like (or doesn't?) Home or Mii's. It just looks too kiddy for me. Avatars with big heads and speech bubbles just leaves me cold, whether it looks like another platforms UI or not. I hope there's an option to turn it off so everyone wins.

They can't please everyone. Even if you hate it, its good news if worldwide sales increase, due to it being more pleasing on the eye/easier to use.
I think many parts of the world will take the avatars light heartedly rather than feeeling they are kiddy.

Anything has to be better than the low res, blurry Xbox360 blades we have now. If they were pin-sharp I wouldn't mind, it's the one thing I prefer about the PS3 OS over Xbox360's that are like-for-like. This looks really sharp and that's my favourite thing about it.

d3moliti0n · 15 Jul 2008 at 22:39

So when's the Fallout 3 demo gonna be shown then?

I take it that it's a Visa Debit Card then, like the Barclaycard ones.

Thats the one. So how does that make MS's system stupid, if it takes the system used by(most ?) major banks and building soceity's ? (IIRC I never asked for VISA debit, it was standard issue)

dbmzk1 · 15 Jul 2008 at 22:41

Poor show from everyone this year I think. Nothing really jumps out at me from anyone. Shame really

Robert1986 · 15 Jul 2008 at 22:41

Gears 2 live demo on gamespot.
