E3 2012 Press Conferences

[D34DL1N3R]

M$ conference = complete fail.

 

[RupeeClock]

Well that was a real let-down.
Yet again desperate attempts to get recognition has a home media center, using Kinect for little more than voice recognition in some games, a kinect knock-off of Angry Birds, and that SmartGlass crap which only offers distractions from the primary entertainment.

Actually, let-down implies that I expected anything other than this. Of course it was gonna be Halo 4 and Cowadoody. Actually boasting about IE for Xbox, hah. And that whole Dance Central 3 music video, unnecessary man.

About the only good thing I saw was the South Park game.

If you havent got Kinect then that show was a waste of time, all the new sports and movie stuff will no doubt be US only as well......

The SmartGlass part appeared to be pretty interesting, actually. I like how it's cross-platform (Android, iOS, Windows Phone) rather than just for Microsoft devices and that it not only enhances the menu controls but actually works with internet browsing and adds additional content to the games as well. This has potential if you ask me.

 

[MavrickJones]

Well, the official E3 rankings are in

1. (Sony) or (Nintendo)
2. (Sony) or (Nintendo)
3. Some hobo pooping on a street corner
4. Free Usher concert
5. Microsoft

You seem to forget Sony last year. Michael Jackson skit and Justin Timberlake trying to revive myspace. It's still possible that they do worse.

except that is already built in into most new smart tvs.

Wow, that was boring. Only liked Tomb Raider, Southpark, and Gears. CoD felt like seeing a movie trailer.

 

[Master Mo]

I wanted Shadow Complex 2 and got nothing. Thanks Microsoft...

Though Tomb Raider looks awesome. Hopefully it will have some exploratiopn and climbing elements come back as well!

 

[ForteGospel]

tomb raider is not tomb raider anymore :\

 

[chartube12]

tomb raider is not tomb raider anymore :\

Nope. It is now uncharted with a chick.

 

[Uncle FEFL]

Is the South Park game an exclusive?


I'll also be getting BOII...as a rent. I'm one of the few that enjoy the campaign modes of the CoD franchise.

 

[The Catboy]

The C.O.D. trailer was unbearably long for a game trailer.

They'd have to do a hell of a lot of failing to do worse than Microsoft. They already confirmed a PSN+ revamp, which is if its any better than the current program, will be auto-win.

I'm more interested in new Vita announcements

 

[Quietlyawesome94]

Nintendo's pre-conference was more interesting then this.

That my friends... is a tragedy.

At least Sony gets to show off cool Vita shit and Nintendo has Wii U.

 

[p1ngpong]

I watched microsofts live stream.

The highlight for me was a crappy looking Southpark game and Tomb Raider, mainly because there were barely any games featured.

I miss the days when E3 was about gaming.

lol Usher.

[awssk8er]
