E3 Demos On XBL Marketplace On The Way
- Thread starter Hardknock
- Start date
This is where the whole "living room domination" is going to come through.
MS and Sony will be able to practically use these 2 console as a way to "broadcast" videos, demos, anything they want (adverts too, obviously, they're not stupid!).
Who needs GameTV or whatever other Gaming TV channel when you have content, sometimes playable, directly to your console?
And in the meantime, they will both advertise whatever other products they make (Sony will advertise all other electronics they make and MS all their PC software), all for free (they're not paying a TV channel for ad space, which is very expensive), which is VERY good business for them.

Came home from work at about 2am, turned on the 360, saw the demo and realized I was glad I pre-ordered this. Looks like it might be a whole bunch of fun. My daily routine is get home, check for SFII...wake up, check for SFII.
To expletives point, I would be appalled if keynotes from, E3 and TGS and Xnn, didn't get put on marketplace.

This is really a good idea, as it allows people to actually try the demos instead of watching videos and reading impressions. Thus the consumer can make his mind up on his own instead of relying on others. Though, some demos could be released prematurely. Anyway, thumbs up for MS.

I'm worrieed about bandwidth issues if everyone's downloading at E3.
It would be really cool if they released an update to te dash to allow streaming video a few days before the event, then offered streams of the different kenotes and tech demo's.
Can't wait....Gears of War demo in 2 weeks???? Hmmm....hey I can hope!!

Xbox Live members should be able to play many of the demos that even the celebrities will be testing out at E3.

it looks so much better on my HDTV than you can gather from any online video or screen
the motion blur is beautiful with sweet particle effects and it's smooth (AA) as a baby's butt. :smile:
animation looks very good also
I'm impressed with Capcom here, I hope the gameplay lives up to the graphics

I'm sure MS will be busy patting themselves on the back for this, but hey, I think they earned it.

Trailer is absolutely gorgeous, I agree about the motion blur, really adds a sweet touch to the graphics. I just hope the gameplay matches up. E3 is gonna rock.
