What? This is about as on topic as anything else in here at the moment.

Well hey, no one here is a thread commander right? The thread goes wherever it wants too.

As for X-Men Destiny, I find it lame that you play as nobodys. don't know if I'm interested in it yet.

[AquaParade]

I heard that, as well. I agree. That is all.

[GK Punk]

Just depends on what the story ends up being like. I was hoping we'd get to create or own mutants but that's obviously not the case. As much as I love hack and slashing as Logan I'd be interested in checking out what this game offers.

I like the name "Nintendo". Nintendo needs to recapture their identity. It's a good plan. I hope they do it. Also, bring back the red logo. The damn Apple imitation went too far at that exact moment when they went grey.

So, WHO'S READY!? Microsoft conference is first up. Not very hyped for Microsoft in general this year, just because I feel like there's gonna be a ton of Kinect focus, which is a bummer. You'd think the fact that they're being broadcast on Spike would make them focus on things less casual. I know we're probably gonna get some 3rd party dudes out there showing stuff too. I think there was a rumor kicking around Ken Levine was on the MS list, so I guess we'll get to see the Bioshock Infinite demo that has apparently been blowing peoples minds.

My biggest fear is that they send the conference off with the Halo:CE remake and expect everyone to be mind-blown.

[Peanut]

So, it looks like Microsoft may have blown it early and if that's all the news we're getting, colour me (yet again) completely f*cking disappointed by Microsofts lack of quality software.

Is this really all they can do now? More f*cking Halo? And if the Kinect Fable game rumors are true, more of that piece of complete sh*t? What's that? More Forza!? GREAT! So many quality franchises within their grasp and yet they leave it all buried so they can continue milking a cash cow that's been looking pretty f*cking haggard for the past two iterations. Remaking Halo:CE for itss 10th anniversary (can you f*cking believe it's been 10 years!?) is a solid move, but having a remake of a game that, arguably, doesn't need to be remade be the cornerstone to the year is nothing short of awful. It's like unless Microsoft buys a company with a franchise already established, they can't get anything new in-house. What the f*ck is MGS doing all the time? Where the hell are the new franchises, clowns?

Again, this is still rumor, but as these kinds of gaffs tend to be the norm around this time of the year, I'm betting most of it is true. If so, again really frustrating. At least we can count on Sony and Nintendo to show us some quality first-party stuff.

The thing about Halo is they've completely overexposed/milked it it. Its a bit much to have two Halo games in one E3 and this is the second time they do it. There really was nothing that MST could show for the 360 that would have gotten me excited outside of a full on Rare revival which we all knew wasn't going to happen. What can save their show is if they do have an impressive Kinect title which is a big if but after playing with one I think it could have potential if they could really make an intriguing title which like mentioned I'm not holding much hope for. I think Microsoft really does need to mention the new 360 is coming at the very least if they want to take away some of the spotlight from Nintendo, I think it can happen since we know they are working on it but who knows it depends how much faith they have on Kinect holding the system.

Sony also doesn't have anything that may interest me on the PS3 side, even titles I've wanted badly like twisted metal/new Ico they are basically not new news. The "Vita" will be cool to see, even though I doubt I'd ever get one since Sony is doing the same mistakes from the first PSP but this time there is even more competition. I wonder if they'll even mention Move or if they won't even take it seriously like they haven't since launch. Again a mention of new hardware which we also know is coming should be a must if they plan on Nintendo not stealing all the spotlight.

I'm really excited for Nintendo, I think its safe to say they have the easiest chance at "winning", who knows they could very well mess it up and if they did it would be a big blow, not as likely but it could also happen. I mostly want 3DS games I actually want to play, I don't think we'll see much new Wii stuff, either, some smaller titles like the new Kirby and of course Zelda is the last big game it'll have from Nintendo. I don't think the Wii will get much focus since Cafe will be playable in some form. Oh I forgot the vitality sensor is probably the last hoorah for the Wii, I think it might be more interesting than what we may all think.

I would hardly call Spike the place for the hardcore..

As for Microsoft, BRING IT ON.

No, but it's a channel about tits, explosions and guns, not waving your arms and jumping on the spot to pretend you're running a relay race.

[sdp]

If anything SpikeTVs audience is the one that would be happy having two new HALOS because its MOTHER****EN HALO, throw in more Call of Duty and other 'casual'/mainstream M rated games and boom they're happy.

Any gaffers here?

Here is the E3 Bingo card:

[IamtheKnight]

I'm a Halo fan but I really think that making a Halo 4 and Halo CE remake is pointless. I will pass on these because I know that Bungie would not be making them. So please Microsoft do us Halo fans a favor and please stop making Halo games.

[sdp]

Ryse is a system seller for me, I'd buy a Kinect if they can pull it off, that is exactly what I've wanted since the Wii was announced. I'm an active person and I like to move around, I just wish Kinect had a controller as well since some stuff just can't be done from a still position, moving/changing weapons etc and those would be better with an analog stick/buttons. Other than that "meh". Also I know I'm alone but I absolutely hate the new Tomb Raider, that is not TR. Call it something else and I'll be interested, I'm glad no one was around or they would have thought I was looking at porn.

[Peanut]

Microsoft conference sucked. So little interest in anything they showed at all.

[Cure]

Pretty much agree with that.

[Peanut]

Even Summer of Arcade looks lackluster this year. That's something I've looked forward to the last few E3's. Really disappointing.

[AquaParade]

Didn't bother watching Microsoft's show. Figured there wouldn't be anything of major interest to me. Sounds like a snooze-fest.

[愛]

Microsoft's conference was disgusting. Where are all the new IP's? Is anyone even trying anymore?

[Peanut]

Fun Labs doesn't work FYI. The avatar stuff is OK, but it's basically taking pictures and sticking them to an avatar. Pretty weak. Object scan doesn't work at ALL.

[Barkworm]

Could someone explain to me why we need Kinect for the voice recognition thing in Mass Effect 3? Is the headset not high tech enough?

I don't know if it was in the conference but Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet looked amazing. And Tomb Raider didn't look bad at least.
