I thought it was a reasonable press conference, nothing ground breaking which was expected. But Halo 4 teaser, Halo Anniversary and plenty of dashboard esqe experiences

The Kinect Labs looks interesting and some of the hardcore games "addons" such as Ghost Recons. Overall I think the press conferences ticked all the boxes but didn't inspire to do more apart from Minecraft on 360

Dont see why it's poor from MS - Kinect is going to make them a fortune which means more RnD funds for next iteration! Still love for the hardcore with halo/forza/gears - ips which are proven to sell - I thought it was good! Thankful my 360 has such a dynamic range!

And let's face it - it'll still be the multiplatform stuff which sells tones!! Cod/bioshock/mass effect etc

By poor i mean in terms of games for "core gamers". You are right MS will make a mint from these sort of games, the same way Nintendo did, but on rail games for Kinect are not the sort of things i want to play. I want to explore all the nooks and crannies in a game. You won't be able to in the new Fable/Star wars and possibly the Crytek game.

Next year's should bring a brand new Xbox. That'll be more interesting.

Did I hear right, that MS is banking on Kinect to give them the Number 1 console worldwide ?? (and believe they gonna do it)

Don't waste your time man. It was all Kinect for kiddies.

if u want to replay it for the xbox 360 side of things, don't.

I take it people wasnt impressed with the 360 show then didnt they have any mw3 footage ???

 

[WingZero30]

Wow Halo 4!!

 

[K1LLSW1TCH]

Halo 4 looks mint!

I hate open endings so wasn't too happy about the end of 3, but did I hear the guy say 'a new trilogy'?

... There wasn't even any gameplay footage.


Unless I missed it, all I saw of Halo 4 was that dude in a suit near the end announcing a new trilogy and then showing some Halo 4 CGI.

Hmm, sounded like that to me.

Yeah, right at the very beginning. So you'd be right for the first five minutes.

 

[Frapple]

Have people not seen the sales figures with just a few games?

With all these other games on board it's going to go through the roof!

Will be getting for sure Ryse & Future Solider looks brilliant! Aiming looked damn accurate (compared to KZ3+Move anyway, what a waste of money that was!)

Skyrim next woop
