Utter bollocks.

[Guest MojoPogo]

I really, really cant wait for the Xcom update. I was skeptical unti i seen the rolling footage.

Cracked article on the kinect. Click me.

 

Here's a less anti-microsoft article about it, that actually explains what it is.

Anti microsoft? The article was hardly anti Microsoft, just anti kinect and move.

 

Nice little vid here

Some of it doesnt look quite right, like it wasnt fully in sync. Could be my connection though.

Just watched the conference, 'cause I was out last night.

 

Looking forward to Gears of War 3, thought it looked really good, as did Metal Gear Solid: Rising and Fable III. Couldn't care less about CoD: Black Ops or Halo: Reach, though.

 

Slightly impressed with Kinetic, but not 100%. I highly doubt it'll be a game-changer, though it does look rather fun.

 

Also, I really like the look of the new 360. As soon as my current 360 breaks down, I'll be snapping up one of those for sure.

 

Can't wait for the Nintendo conference.

[Guest Dave7g]

Miyamoto is playing the new Zelda now, unfortunatley it's not impressive at all. Shake your Wiimote at the screen and hope for the best. The controls don't seem to work.

 

Mario Sports Mix, Mario playing Hockey and Basketball. Wow.

 

Wii party looks like Mario Party only unbelievabley shittier.

 

Just Dance 2 announced, you know that dance game that doesn't work?

 

Golden Sun DS looks alright.

 

Goldeneye exclusive for Wii, damnit.

 

Kirby's Epic Yarn has a nice art style and looks like it's made of cloth. Would be great if I was 7.

 

Finally saw Epic Mickey, looks really good.

 

3DS with Kid Icarus Uprising, looks really good. Hope the 3D effect works.

Here's the problem with Kinetic.

 

The Wii looks in a wide arc to the left and right of its sensor but doesn't require any depth data. Kinetic needs about 15 feet of front-to-back to properly operate. It also can't cope with any objects being in that area, so no coffee tables, chairs, sofas speakers, etc.

We've been doing tests and the area required for it to operate properly therefore is huge. In America everyone has huge living rooms where 20/30 square feet of clear space in front of the tv is fine. But there average British house just doesn't have that. I know I don't!

 

I just see this as being something that people might shell out for but never use for practical reasons.

 

Thats just the thoughts of a guy over on the UKFF, but its a good, but worrying if its true, point.

[Guest Dave7g]

You don't think they would have researched this? The press conference showed a girl sitting on a bed in her room using it, they wouldn't let that slip by the research team. If it doesn't work when it comes out we'll know all about it, and we won't buy it. I'm sure it'll be fine, it just has to scan you in, so you obviously can't do that if you have a table or a sofa in front of you.

[Paul 584]

Yeah it could be total bollocks for sure, I just seem to remember that the guy who wrote that post had something to do with the gaming industry. What I cant remember. :lol

 

Just worth taking into account as a possibility until we've (well, you 360 owners) seen someone else use it on the 'real' games.

[Guest Dave7g]

Watching the PS3 conference now, some good stuff, especially suited to the millionaire gaming community.

[ViciousPrism 177]

New Twisted Metal, nice.

Steam on PS3. Nice.

Portal 2. Nice.

Playstation Move, is STILL Nintendo Wii with big balls on top.

 

Missed a bunch of it because GameTrailers.com was terrible with their streaming software.

[Guest JC]

What a load of disappointments!

 

We want Half Life 2: Episode 3 dammit!

[Guest Dave7g]

Look at the state of this:

There you go, the 'anti Nintendo and Sony' follow up article.

It's a booth, wow. Go waaah over something else.

[Guest Dave7g]

It's a booth, and it looks like a special school made it, and it's funny. Waaah.

[Guest John Hancock]

I support the notion that the booth is very, very funny.

 

Waaaah.

[Guest Dr. ZERO]

What does it look like? I can't see it.

[Guest John Hancock]

What does it look like? I can't see it.

 

It's a crudely drawn GIANT cardboard John Cena, with a sort of mechanical arm that's doing the "You can't see me" gesture, really slowly, like a sort of upside down metronome.

[Guest Dr. ZERO]

Wrrraaahhh, lost in delivery!

 

John Cena. You Can't see me. I can't see it.

 

Phooey!

 

But yeah, the booth is horrible. Hilarious, but horrible.

 

Oh yeah, E3. Urm. Microsoft were silly, yelling about features the Wii was yelling about years ago. Didn't pay attention to Sony. Nintendo predictably kicking originality in the nads and releasing a sequel to every game franchise they made 50 years ago. The 3DS looks like fun.

 

A lot of 2D games appeared and this made me very happy.
