I'm okay with this! Board isn't fast enough for my taste during E3.

For 3DS, the paper says that Nintendo will announce a large screen version of the system. The new version will have a 4.3 inch screen, or 1.5 times the current size. A release in North America, Japan and Europe could happen as early as Summer.

anyway, Microsoft conference

- Halo 4 shown - looks straight up like Metroid Prime. Jungle environments, atmospheric, scan visors, you name it. I'm sure it won't stay that way but I thought it looked great.
- Splinter Cell: Blacklist shown. Looks very stereotypical military shooter/Call of Duty-ish - grey, deserts, focus on gunplay. Has Kinect voice support. Spring 2013.
- EA Sports - Madden/FIFA 13 - have Kinect voice support. Nobody will use this.
- Fable: The Journey. Holiday 2012. Graphics look pretty dated.
- Gears of War: Judgment. 2013. Just a teaser shown.
- Forza Horizon. Dubstep. That's about all I got out of this one.
- Apps time. You can now do voice commands by genre! Innovation. New channels: Nickelodeon, Machinima, nba league pass, nhl game center, all espn channels.
- Xbox Music announced for xbox 360 and windows 8 pcs. Not sure what this is and they weren't very clear.
- Nike+ for Kinect. God knows what it is since I zoned out.
- Xbox SmartGlass officially announced. Integrates xbox live between tablets/smartphones and Xbox 360. Seems to do most of the Wii U features that you could do on the touchscreen, only it can be done from any tablet. Games can integrate social elements into games or you can use the device as a way to use XBL on other devices (netflix, last.fm, etc). Looks cool, if a bit unnecessary. That said, having these features on a phone could be really cool.
- IE coming to Xbox (finally!). Can use Kinect for voice commands and SmartGlass as an input device so you don't need to use a controller.
- Tomb Raider. This is totally Uncharted. They show a big action scene with lots of jumping, shooting and a little qte. I think it looks good but it's totally Uncharted. DLC getting timed exclusive for 360.
- New game from the Toy Soldiers devs: Ascend: New Gods. 2013. Looks like a God of War type game, but they mentioned asynchronous multiplayer so I don't know.
- Teaser for the new Twisted Pixel game. 2013. No idea what it is. Called Lococycle. Didn't look or sound like anything else they'd done in the past.
- Kinect game called Matter announced. 2013.
- Resident Evil 6. Looks very scripted and linear.
- Wreckateer. This is in summer of xbla. Angry Birds - better with Kinect (tm)
- South Park: Stick of Truth. Cool trailer, no real details. Apparently it's March 2012 though.
- Dance Central 3. Harmonix is killing the fake dancing genre just like they killed the plastic instrument genre. Also, they brought Usher out. Okay!
- Black Ops 2. Yep, Call of Duty. I don't even think Call of Duty fans are enjoying this demo.

And that's it!

MS conference kinda weak just for lack of anything new. I think Smartglass seems kinda neat if it actually works, but the theme this year seemed to be "more of the stuff we did last year".

Halo 4 looked to be amazing

Everything else was pretty s***

yep. and the year before too.

I thought they did a fine job though. marketed to their core, almost no Kinect BS compared to other years, interesting smartglass stuff, Halo 4 looked great (especially in comparison to COD, jesus), etc. yeah it's not gonna be for this place but their presentation was top notch (if a bit all over the place) and their pacing was good.

man everyone on the internet hates everything with e3. it's kinda surprising that people even pay attention to be honest!

Yeah the conference itself was fine, just not terribly exciting.

See, tranny knows what's up.

Hopefully Halo 4 outsells CoD this year.

Nice recap. I agree with you about it being a good conference for their audience. It didn't have much new, but it had the big games people buy the Xbox for. I would have preferred they focus on XBLA games, but hey! SmartGlass seemed alright, but the other stuff was a glaze for me. Halo looked cool, too.

Halo 4's this year right?

--
http://img.imgcake.com/GuessMyUserName/puddinggifuh.gif

Yep. November, I think.

the dreamer of improbable dreams

same week as COD. that'll be a brawl. COD will win it but I think Halo 4 will have more mindshare amongst serious business gamers.

I'm actually hyped for Ubisoft this year!

should see some Upad in action.... I wonder if they changed the incredibly stupid thing in Killer Freaks where the camera was controlled by gyro

RE6 looked boring to me. like all the other action shooters out there had passed it by.

maybe there's a narrative hook there that I'm missing

Halo 4 looked cool, but I got a very Metroid Prime feel from it.

RE6 makes me sad

just give me REs like Revelations - basically the perfect RE game aside from the fact that Chris is a main character

SegMlCassieIsAmazingjhsux~>[64T2jampXDpikaness is awesome!8forgaMike RSmurf is too!

i've given up hope that RE will ever reach RE4 levels again

i am just hoping RE6 gets closer to it than RE5 did!

Yeah, I felt the same about RE6. It looked similar to everything else they were showing. That was probably the biggest issue with the conference in general.
