Official MS E3 press conference thread

Catalogue, I presume, not to mention brand.
Let's get back to the games:
Fable 2. The orb innovation is awesome. The game looks beautiful. The IGN feed was quite good.
Gears 2. You can ride the brumak and the reavers. This IS GOTY! for 2008 through 2010. 5 player "horde" online co-op. The scale, effects and just badassness in this game is truly epic. The "mad world" commerical also got owned.

It's not UE3. It's White Engine. The Last Remnant is UE3.
Better yet, let's get back to non-Final Fantasy XIII games.
Unfortunately, that is all conjecture and I am gonna put a stop to it before it continues to derail the thread or incites flames.
For studios that Microsoft doesn't have agreements with: Sony Pictures Studios and Columbia Pictures are a few.

Yea! I thought that was pretty neat. The god rays looked really good too. Was the video up until they showed the boy and girl CG? It looked very... HQ from the LQ feed.
The minigun part was nice
The facial animations were a definite improvement from what I could see. And there were some subtle improvements to the running.
I've spawned off the FFXIII discussion. I know it's big, so this way we leave this thread free for discussion of all the other bits that were really quite something but are getting ignored. No more FFXIII talk here!

Hell yeah, that's my favorite announcement so far. Guess it means I'll be getting a 60gb Jasper model after all
Now if only MS would ship a blu-ray add on drive then I could sell my PS3's. Yeah I know, never gonna happen
The first seconds with the bird on the tree-stump looked like film to me on GameTrailers version. Then it went 'in game'. The bird dropping looked CG. But then the actual game, though very looking, didn't match the quality of the start and that awesome city, so I'm guessing the whole thing was a CG opener.
The gameplay demonstrates a fabulous coop camera! And the drop-in world switching is a really nice idea. My only complaint so far is Molyneux's over-use of the word 'Unique'
Do they render in correct aspect, or just upscale? Existing games can't be rendering in a different aspect to 16:9.
I'm assuming the 360 will just add letterboxing top and bottom if you set it to output a 16:10 resolution.
My monitor has 1:1, aspect stretch and fill. When I set my monitor to aspect stretch, the 360 outputs 16:9 and my monitor adds the black letterboxing top and bottom. The problem is the Wii is outputting 640x480 for it's anamorphic widescreen mode so my monitor maintains an aspect of 4:3. If I set the monitor to fill then both the Wii and 360 are stretched to 16:10 when they're supposed to be 16:9. Now with 16:10 output from the 360 I can have a correct letter boxed image in fill mode and have a slightly stretched Wii image which is no worse than before.
And I think some monitors don't have a mode that maintains aspect ratio, so this will be a big plus to people with those monitors.
Most of the titles were already knowns, like Gears 2, Fable 2. The unknown titles are mostly 'smaller' titles like Lips and that motion thing described, something like EyeToy Kinetic/Dance...thingum, and the player footage is superimposed onto a 'movie'. Eurogamer have a headline for pretty much every announced title
