MS Conference starting now, with Halo 4.

 

very stoked for the New Wii U ^^

 

Forza Horizon looks sexy. Hope they didnt make the driving too arcady though.

 

This whole Kinect / media stuff is so boring...

RE6 is pratically a Michael Bay movie.

 

So what's come so far? I've missed it up till now with the resi stuff being shown.

 

Halo 4
Splinter Cell Blacklist
The new Gears of War
Forza Horizon

And tons of boring media / kinect stuff

 

Thanks, not missed much then. Halo 4 and forza are 2 that are most appealing to me out that list.

 

MS conference ended with Call of Duty Black Ops 2, another "Michael Bay movie".

 

That was terrible

 

i was hoping for a price cut on the 360 to be honest.
I am not interested in:

1. BUYING music from microsoft (where is the spotify deal?)
2. BUYING movies from microsoft (netflix, i want THEM to get some new media partners)
3. WATCHING live TV on my xbox
4. SWINGING my hands like a retard at the kinect sensor.

this was terribly underwhelming, but i guess we all knew that at 67,000,000 units shipped they are basically printing money and spending some of it on media content partners.

for common joe consumer who isnt like me (with all my music, media already subscribed) this makes the xbox more attractive, and microsoft sells more windows 7 phones.

This is the same thing that apple did, but backwards.
Apple made the iPhone a gateway to macbooks, iMacs, etc and now microsoft is using this as a portal to windows 8 tablets, and windows phones.
(yes, aware that the glass features work on android, want to bet they work "better" on windows 7/8 phones and devices?)

 

Could they have fit any more explosions into that Black Ops II sequence? I really was expecting Michael Bay to be credited at the end!

 

They better sell more Windows 7 phones...if they sell any less the sales numbers will go negative.

 

Both Call of Duty and Resident Evil 6 devs should credit him. Looking forward to Neogafs gifs.

I don't own a Xbox360, but i think MS really need to create or buy some game devs to make them first party. Apart from Halo, Forza and Gears of War everything else is third party. We criticize Sony a lot, but at least every year we know some great and NEW first party games are announced.

 

you did read the rest of what i posted, yes? so you see how this is genius marketing in terms of how to position themselves.
67 million xboxes.
potential for 67 million windows 7 phone customers.

 

How many of those 67 million are gonna buy Windows phones just so they can use their music bought from the mega popular Zune store on them, though?
I think a lot of other factors are way more influential...you know, like the factor that Windows Phone is shit.

 

Nothing at all from Rare? Not even Kinect crap? Microsoft does remember that they own Rare, right? Even if the company itself sucks now, they still have a nice pool of exclusives at their disposal. Banjo-Kazooie, Killer Instinct, Perfect Dark, Conker, Jet Force Gemini, Battletoads, etc.

It annoys me that the company has so much potential and variety in terms of exclusives, yet all we've been getting since 2010 is Kinect Sports garbage.

 

Well to be honest with you guys the XBOX conference was crap... well I'm not expecting no big stuff on E3 this year. Maybe next year's E3 we will see new consoles?

 

They forgot that the 360 is first and foremost a game console with that presser. 80% of it was stuff the average gamer doesn't want to hear about.

However, I did enjoy most of the games shown and am interested in buying them. Especially RE6.

Kinect stuff doesn't strike my fancy, though I may have to buy one just for Steel Battalion.


Also hated the : OHEYLOL We are announcing DLC at the same time as the game and it's on 360 first lol! /want the ending? Buy the DLC day 1~ only on 360!/

 

I lold hard at that;
