Starts in 20 mins, might as well watch. Going to guess it will be mostly about their new controller, the kinect.

crazyfingers

Ugh, maybe it's a good thing they're going to motion control because these animations blow nuts.

Edit: I take that back, the Dust game looks AMAZING

IEatApples

Zzz mine wont load, damn buffering.

Gilgamesh

Underwhelmed by CoD:blackops that's for sure.

crazyfingers

I'm kinda underwhelemed by Hideo's English, but like black ops that's to be expected.

"Allow me to pass da touch to my young designer".

Gilgamesh

Commence rolling eyes movement, it's Cliffy B


But oooh, 4 player co-op on screen footage.

Lee3dee

4 player coop gear3 looks awesome!

Gilgamesh

Halo reach, meh. Fable 3 looks quite interesting though.

crazyfingers

I was actually really impressed by Halo, they really polished the hell out of everything. The particles in particular were stellar.

All this Kinect stuff made me think of this:

Rick Stirling

The Kinect video demo is so forced and cringeworthy.

Jesse Moody

stupid chicks.... just get naked and make this worthwhile....

aesir

These two girls are the worst speakers ever. Hire some actresses dammit!!

Yeah, at least try to make it look fun.

crazyfool

they should do away with all this social gaming bulls**t for the press conferences, its too boring!!!!!!

Rick Stirling

ESPN has zero interest for me, but those two guys had better presentation skills than the rest.

Wonder if ESPN and Netflix will move outside the US only?

crazyfool

'TIGER ATTACK little girl'

Jesse Moody

haha... mod that game... hey skittles... awe is that blood on your chin? what did you do... NO ****GROWLS**** omg skittles why are you attacking me.....

crazyfool

haha I can only think of south park now with the woodland critters, 'THEYRE RAPING ME, THEYRE RAPING ME!!!!!' haha

Gilgamesh

Kinect .. not interested, just give some decent games ffs.

Em.

Quickly devolved into a really bad infomercial complete with fake enthusiasm, catch phrases and a dude with a British accent.

Gilgamesh

And a pimp presenting it ...

aesir

I feel like, if anything, kinect will create some really good workout "games" for people.

crazyfingers

In japan they use these body position games to humiliate people and entertain others.

This kinect product is going to crash and burn pretty fast me thinks, the novelty is simply gone. I don't know anyone who plays their wii any more.

Was thinking the same thing actually.

Calabi

I can see all these Kinect type games killing off gaming altogether, you know we're doing all the actions already we might as well go outside and do the real thing.

crazyfool

I hope sonys conference isnt taken up with their motion controls. I remember when these used to be awesome

so does the kinect.

seforin

awesome they showed off some of the stuff I worked on for the avateer's (adventerers or whatever) during the river rush rapid game

PogoP

Oh hey, it's EyeToy! Oh wait.............

Cojax

This just got really boring.

Gilgamesh

Fitness one looks ok, about the only thing that does for it so far.

oh f**k no not a dancing game.

IronHawk

dance game looks fun. wifey would play it too.

crazyfool

work out until you have a heart attack = 10 gamerpoints

haha, yea fitness didnt look too bad actually,

Jesse Moody

NOW WE JUST NEED A STRIPPING GAME!!! Please, Please, Please....

crazyfingers

Yeah, the dance game could actually be kinda fun in the right circumstances, maybe a peripheral pusher.

Rofl, Jesse, was thinking the same thing when the chick was taking her sweater off.

PixelMasher

holy shit this kinect is like watching a car crash in slow motion. super fake enthusiasm, shitttttty animations and games that just dont look fun. and the crowd is just not impressed either, barely any applause.

i missed the gears stuff earlier. lame

Gilgamesh

That's a XBLA addon that will be designed Jesse .... Connect with "friends" then do the "pole dance" and you can "donate" Xbox points to your "friend".

YES YES YES.... Now thats a title I could get behind...

Wahlgren

I clearly missed the coolest parts. I joined in when they started with the "make a call to your twinsister"-part...

"Wow" "That is so cooool." "Hey, wasn't there a game about that?" "Yeah my coworkes played it to increase their gamerscore, hu hu hu" "Maybe you should too" "Heeeey!"

GAWDE!!!!! *throws fists into the air and walks out*

Gilgamesh

Shiney 360 ... woopdefreakingdoo

aesir

so how many times per year do you have to send the new 360 back to microsoft to get fixed?

Wahlgren

-1 this time i guess. Did they just get it for free?

Calabi

Finally they've redesigned the 360.

Jesse Moody

i like the new design and being avail this week is pretty nice.

Gilgamesh

Yup, bastards. Bet those will hit ebay tonight ...

almighty_gir

free new 360 for all those guys?

assholes =[
