Microsoft Press Conference - E3 09 Live Video Game Demos at GameSpot

I wonder what Nintendo and Sony pull out

 

[Overdriven]

Plus they've got the next MGS and Final Fantasy coming too Don't forget those.

I have an idea about what Sony will say, a big part will be to do with their new firmware me thinks.

 

[Sparx]

Oh yes those too. Never really bothered with them but i know some will

I love the fact we are finally getting TV here courtesy of Sky and not Netflix

 

[Uara]

i've been watching all the stuff off IGN.....EA was a bit meh but Ubi seemed pretty good!

 

[Marc]

I thought FF was playstaion exclusive?

 

[Aoami]

FF XIII Versus will be, FF XIII will be 360 & PS3

 

[Lethul]

Some nice games from what I've seen so far. Altho Project Natal does absolutely nothing for me. Looks like a little bit better Eyetoy or whatever it was called and it was donkey shit When I game I wanna sit down in my comfi expensive sofa!

 

[Sparx]

Yeah doesnt do much for me to be honest but it could be good for party type games

 

[megadave]

New PS3 controller makes the Wii look like a useless pile of crap. Although that's not so hard to do.


FF7 is now downloadable on the PSN Also FFXIV (mmorpg) is exclusive to ps3 but not out for another year

 

[Overdriven]

GT5 damage re-rumored == ooooh.
FFXIV == Online exclusive for PS3? WTF?!
New MGS for PS3 == Oooh pretty
Cross-platform games == Meh

 

[Wonk]

Also FFXIV (mmorpg) is exclusive to ps3 but not out for another year

and PC.

Boring e3 really. WHERE ARE ALL THE 2D FIGHTERS? I couldn't care less about all those stealth/action/driving games.

 

[Sparx]

New MGS for PS3 == Oooh pretty

* Crackdown 2
* Left 4 Dead 2
* Splinter Cell: Conviction
* Forza Motorsport 3
* Halo: ODST
* Halo: Reach
* Alan Wake
* Project Natal

Kind of dissapointed in the Microsoft one tbh, no exclusives which are "wow" for me (exclusives not 360/pc releases where i buy for PC every viable time for the better picture)
Halo OST looked pretty dull
Alan Wake looked good but is on PC aswell, Crackdown is one i am looking forward to as i liked the first one.
Project Natal while great for a tech demo and social/interface thing i can't see being particularly useful in real games (bar maybe racing) and gimicks

Playstation Exclusives
PSN:
* Final Fantasy VII

PSP:
* Gran Turismo
* Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker
* Resident Evil: Portable
* Assassin's Creed: Bloodlines

PlayStation 3 Exclusives:
* Uncharted 2: Among Thieves
* MAG
* Agent
* Final Fantasy XIV Online
* ModNation Racers
* The Last Guardian
* Gran Turismo 5
* God of War III
* Motion Controller

Their presentation was boring as usual but the content was awesome,
Looking forward to MAG, GOW3, Uncharted in particular
The motion controller is the best out of the 3 imo and looks like it can actually be useful in a game setting, bring on starwars with real lightsabre fighting!

 

[Sparx]

In theory MAG sounds good but i cant see it being fun, too hectic and imagine the bandwidth needed to play it too. PSP is dead, mine has gathered so much dust in a drawer.

Assasins Creed was such a failure i hope the second one is better.

Crackdown 2 looks good, no cell shading

2 halo games? hmmm not really interested, i sacked Halo 3 off in favour of COD

 

[Sparx]

None of the Final Fantasy games or GT interest me either, never have done

 

[Chronictank]

In theory MAG sounds good but i cant see it being fun, too hectic and imagine the bandwidth needed to play it too. PSP is dead, mine has gathered so much dust in a drawer.

It's not the bandwidth thats the issue as you are just connecting to a sony server via PSN rather than halo style peer to peer
It's whether the playstation can handle so much stuff happening on the screen

 

[Helme]

The things that has impressed me most so far is the Old Republic intro, it's simply awesome - hopefully they'll release some game info soon heh.

When it comes to gameplay, Assassin's Creed 2 is tied with Splinter Cell: Conviction, both looked just genuinly fun, and in AC2's case, despite the first games flaws its still a game I've got installed and play every now and then to just jump around so I'm keeping my hopes up.


They really need to release more information on Dragon Age and Mass Effect 2 however

 

[Rulke]

Mass Effect 2

Please don't make me wait a year to play this with keyboard, mouse and hotkeys like ME1 ;(

 

[Wonk]

Splinter Cell: Conviction

they've removed all the cool gadgets, and it has now become a scripted actiongame - I don't get why people think it looks so cool.

 

[Sparx]

Just watching more on xbox live and i really dont believe a word peter molyneux says. He is such a waffler. If they are so proud of that little boy why are they only showing it behind closed doors to a select few?

He promised so much with Fable 2 and failed, i dont believe a word that man says

 

[Sparx]

LOL love his wiki page

Peter Molyneux - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Lauded as one of the world's most brilliant and inventive game developers, Molyneux has nevertheless acquired a reputation for issuing over-enthusiastic descriptions of games under development, which are found to be somewhat less ambitious when released. The most well-known case of this was with the game Fable, released in 2004 without many of the features talked about by Molyneux in press interviews during development

 

[Lakih]

I think this years E3 was very nice... I usually dont play anything then the current mmo (vanguard for now) but i found a handful of titles that looked promesing...

The new mario bros. game for wii looked awesome, i might actually have to take my brother out for dinner... at his place... with his wii...

 

[Overdriven]

Sony mentioned nothing about a firmware upgrade
