E3 Microsoft Conference Thread

You can say that again. The only good part was COD4 presentation and RE5 trailer. The rest was mindles repeating off all games that we know of already. Not a single one new game announced, NOT A SINGLE ONE [not counting XBLA].

And who in the world will buy that ass-ugly Halo x360 SKU???

 

Pretty disappointed Bungie didn't play Halo 3 live. X07 can't come soon enough.

 

*Sigh* There may be more news to announce over E3 as new deals are signed.

 

Games I'll be getting for the 360 by the end of the year after watching the conf:
Halo3
Mass Effect
PGR4
GTA4
Lost Odessy
Bioshock
Assassins Creed
CoD4

 

IMHO COD4 looks way better than HALO3, though HALO3 will probably make me buy a 360

HS may make me buy a PS3

 

and before?

 

Did Viva Pinata sell well enough to make a sequel?

 

I thought it was informative. I watched it on G4TV on my 60" TV.

CoD4 looked Amazing!!!!
Halo3 Looked really good as well, much better than the multiplayer.

I wanted to see someone playing BioShock but there wasn't...
Assasin's Creed looked good but not as good as I thought it would.

 

Who cares? It was a brilliant game. My fave of 2006.

 

Saw G4 too but the F'in commercials were really annoying.

 

They cut it off twice during something I wanted to see!

 

Bingo! I think we have a winner. This is exactly why you guys saw only 2007 games. It was an effective conference to get new people to buy the system since it looks like they have solid fall/holiday line-up. I think this one of the reason's why didn't see a price drop announced. Microsoft could announce it tomorrow, but I doubt it. More likely they think they have such a great line-up, that the games will sell the console itself and that a price-drop isn't necessary till later. How much later? November I'm thinking to tie in with the 2 year anniversary just in time for the holiday shoppers. If so, there's no wonder why they didn't announce it tonight.

I'm a easy to persuade though I'd have to say CoD4 and Assassin's Creed were the biggest surprises to me.

PGR4 is now only the list since I saw the bike backing it in, to a corner. That's too cool!
Mass effect looks just very epic in it's presentation. The trailer was sick.

 

Mine too, and it don't look like a sequel. Microsoft has always planned on it being a franchise for the system. It makes perfect sense they would take advantage of it.

COD4 looked very good in game play but as far as I watched it in a small window the grass didn't wave.

Good summary of content. If you can't find some games to play out of that list, you're likely not a gamer
