well psn is down so I guess thats good news for microsoft lol

Can't wait to hear more about Codename: Kingdoms. Other than that, totally uninterested.

i have absolute no idea, on what microsoft is going to show off.

Maybe some xbox720 info, but thats high unlikely.

Probably a standard e3 for them.

They're probably gonna show Gears 3 and that remake of Halo 1 they're making. Everything else though is a mystery, MS are great at keeping secrets

Hoping for a surprise guest appearance from Skittles.

and of course cirque de soleil.

9 year old game!
Same people who will buy this complain about Nintendo.

lol.

I hope that they will talk maybe about mw3, because its been announced

Halo Collection plox, or at least Halo: Combat Evolved with HD, online multiplayer and achievements.

Other then that...they'll be a Gears 3 event, finally show off some major campaign moments, MW3 will be there because Xbox+Call of Duty=MONIES. They'll more then likely give an official reveal to Alan Wake 2, which I'm very excited for.

As for pure speculation, I really hope Killer Instinct 3 is announced. SFIV, MvC3 and MK are all indicators that the fighting genre is back. KI3 needs to make it's debut. Also, a Banjo Threeie or Nuts and Bolts 2 would also be welcomed. Crackdown 3 would be good so they can actually make another Crackdown, not the same exact(albeit still fun) game as Crackdown 2 was to the original. Adding zombie-things and semi-destruction to the same city don't count as different, Ruffian...

On Xbox Live Arcade, I expect a sequel of Shadow Complex to be shown, but other then that, I haven't a clue.

As for pure wishes, I really want a Halo Wars 2. The way they made an RTS work so fluidly on a console was amazing, and it sold pretty good to boot. Increase the amount of units and make the campaign a bit bolder, and we got a superb sequel already. Also, Geometry Wars 3. Please, please PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEASE!

Microsft has a crap load of things they could do, I just hope they do some of them...

How the hell could Microsoft show a title by Activision?
Activision have they're own stand you know.

ah alan wake 2, something to look forward too. The first version was incredible on story base line. lots to puzzle. Would love to see a second version tho. And a PC version of the game.

Yes that's probably true, was just thinking about last year when they showed black ops, but that's Treyarch.

Really? No one is talking about GUARDIAN HEROES coming to XBLA?! that is the best announcement ever made in the history of Announcements and my entire life..... Im also hoping for Halo 1 HD

They've shown CoD at their conference every year since MW1. There's no reason to think they won't continue that tradition.

Kudos to you, good sir. I have no need to explain why myself now.

So I was talking true the whole time! I knew there was something that wasnt right...

Maybe Microsoft will admit finally that graphically and purely system wise they have been bested by PS3 (accept of course there online system still works, that's something to boast about). Now I say this with great affection for Microsoft. I am even looking at purchasing Microsoft stock but let's be real about this. The PS3 is far superior in the game engine (meaning capability), has a 3d Blu-rAy and 3d games, heck just even has a blu-ray got my Mom to buy one. All around the PS3 is a better system (aside from the controllers).

I do actually love Microsoft though and am a supporter. I would like to hear them say that they are starting over and next year they will have the biggest baddest gaming machine ever built. And a handheld wouldn't hurt either. Come on Microsoft, the Sony has one coming out, Nintendo released theirs. Where's your contribution to this handheld party.

Phone7
Zune

They have two.

Ok sure there is their contribution to the handheld party, but can you really call those contributions. Financially and stock wise those two devices are bad investments. Game wise those two devices are really bad investments. Plus they aren't really dedicated game handhelds, their purposes are for something else, games being just an afterthought.

Microsoft has the technology, the means, and should have the will to make a dedicated gaming handheld device. They are loosing money by not having one. They could do so much better. Maybe they are just waiting for results of the NGP to come in.

Halo 4 just leaked on Microsoft's website. So that is two Halos getting announced- Halo 4 and Halo:CE HD

That's how they answer the competition? Another Halo?
I had some hope for them. Maybe it'll be kinnect exclusive.

I'd like to see them come up with something new, but Halo is their flagship IP. It will do well.

When is there conference?

Halo remake woooooooooooooooooo!

Watching it live=) New Fable is Kinect only.

Lightsaber activate!

The Mass Effect 3 and Ghost Recon: FS integration with Kinect looked pretty mindblowing. Can't wait for those.

Yessssssssssssssssss sesame street and disney land kinect \oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo/

Minecraft will come out on XBOX amd Kinect.
Kinect Disneyland adventures announced.
Kinect Star Wars announced.
Sesame Street Once upon a monster announced for Kinect.

From what I've read the Microsoft conference started at 9am Pacific time on June 6th...which is today. Nintendo's will be the next day at the same time.

Iv only seen activision in PS2 games not Xbox.

Kinect Sports Season 2 announced

How and where?
IGN's vid feed is not connecting for me!

Whats happening?!

I watch it at gamestop. Try going there.

Added after 2 minutes:

Dance Central 2 announced.

Thanks man. OMG that dance crap looks so gay, and I'm gay! lol

Its on Spike TV

20charrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

gah, hmm minecraft, new tomb raider (which looks beast) and dance central,

Starting to be actually glad to own one of these things.. :>

Halo 4 announced.............................

Cant wait for Tomb Raider, looks interesting!

Oh, Microsoft presentation is over? I thought about some more announcments....

Monday, June 6th

Microsoft Press Conference | 9:30am
Electronic Arts Press Conference | 12:30pm
Ubisoft Press Conference | 2:20pm
Sony Press Conference | 5:00pm

The Fable: The Journey game looked AMAZING. Although, E3 is going to be better... I'm watching it right now!

CANT WAIT FOR THE UPDATE!!!!

The new system is coming!

Dear god that was shocking. Awful. Just ****ing awful

*Fist pumps everyone*

Halo 4 . 2012 .

I know, it just seems it was too short.

are these extra trailers announcements? or just casual trailers for games already known

Overall that confrence was ok. It had some good games like Halo 4 and Star Wars.
But thats nothing compared to Sesame Street and Disneyland!!!

well microsoft blew it

halo 4!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Microsoft press conference was a 90-minute-long facepalm. This year is not looking good for gaming.

Too many Kinect announcments or what?

not good for xbox gaming. but nintendos gonna make love to us

Yes, because the entire gaming industry relies singularly on the shoulders of Microsoft's announcements at E3. Haha I'm expecting this year to be great regardless of E3, what will be announced will just make it better... At least from everyone cept Microsoft..

Yep. Nintendo 3DS games, Project Cafe, maybe some more Wii games and eshop... Well, you got the point.

Mass Effect 3 with Kinect

No thank you.

Am I the only one excited about Minecraft on xbox with kinect support? :O

if this post upset you it probably was a joke

Looks like every Microsoft game from now on will be for Kinect.

Added after 2 minutes:

I doubt anyone will play the XBOX version, cause the everyone has the PC version.

Halo 4 and Halo CE HD were probably the only good new things announced.

You didn't like Sesame Street!?!?

what about the new dashboard coming out later this year? Youtube and live t.v. among other stuff, i think the microsoft conference was pretty good, granted not everything looked amazing but some of it was pretty darn cool, and anyone who thinks it was all garbage is obviously just a fanboy and should gtfo, all consoles are good in their own way and there is no need to bash what you yourself dont like cause thats just ******ed and you need to grow up.

I did like the Ghost Recon Kinect part when he was customising the weapons, that was pretty cool (very Minority Report). But then even that was spoilt when the guy went in-game with a pretend weapon, looking like a hunchback and aiming like Mr Magoo.

That sums it all up pretty well...

That reminded me of the Skyward Sword demo fail from last year. It didn't top the Skyward Sword fail, but it sure did remind me of it

Haha yeah. Less Kinect fail, more suprises. Only interesting thing on the whole show was Tomb Raider. That game looks amazing. I could care less about Halo and Gears of Wars.

You kidding? First, it's nothing like any Tomb Raider game, and they managed to destroy Lara Croft. Second, it's all based on Quick Time Event gameplay (you just press the buttons when asked and the "movie" goes on). To me, that was a bad tasted joke right there.

the tomb raider game looks fine. gears of war is just the same game again. halo is too but at least halo is fun. no kinect game so far has made me want to buy a kinect. i thought star wars would do it......but not so much after what i saw

tomb raider was cool, that kinect thingy with the gun was really solid done.

the other stuff was just meh.

fail conference, EA was a ton better for sure.

Can't wait to see the .gifs!

Last E3 they showed black ops at there E3 press conference so why cant they show MW3 if they showed black ops last year

they showed a whole segment/gameplay section of MW3. you must of missed it

So, I didn't watch the press conference, but let me see if I get this right. Microsoft basically showed of a bunch of games we knew about, a few with Kinect functionality, and a new Halo trilogy. That's pretty bad. Honestly, they didn't give me a good reason to pick their console over another, unless you like Halo. And I'm sure the fans are ecstatic, but I just don't care for it myself. Thumbs down.

Although Minecraft Kinect sounds sweet; I'll give them that.

That was boring. Incredibly boring. Probably worse than 2010's performance. Shove a bunch of Kinect gimicks down our throats and then play it safe by giving us a Halo game we weren't really asking for. Incredibly disappointed.

Here's hoping Sony and Nintendo have something better for us.

Im just glad minecraft is coming to Xbox.

I didnt see it but did they say if any mods ,texture packs ,user made adventure maps will work with it .

The only really cool thing was the Laura Croft game because it was the most original looking game. Yeah, it is a sequel like every other game they displayed but it looked more survival-horror. I couldn't give a care for the same old FPSs they showed.

fail conference

so ironic that those on this forum who stereotype wii as 'motion waggle garbage' are not here up in arms about kniect fail. seens to me the wimote has buttons and actually works without lag. kinect is horrible!

and most was just voice control - ms - you already HAD headsets.

so much for ms being hardcore - blows my mind how advertising influenced forum opinions are - this is so hypocritical...

nintendo is gonna pwn e3 this year - i mean utterly pwn it.

sony has the alabatros of psn and move is a big yawn in the motion race. cafe fever - get a cup of joe its gonna be along night tomorrow....

We don't complain about the Kinect because everyone here knows that there's nothing good going for it now. We'd be preaching to the choir.

And hey, I consider the conference a success if I get some good shops/gifs out of it.

Courtesy of GAF:

Eh, I think it is a big double standard - notice how you said 'we' dont complain

I think everyone should post their own opinions based on their own prefernces.

but i just see a lot off ppl waiting for someone to tell them how to think or react - ussually a site like IGN or something. or a 'popular' agressive forum poster

i try to have some wii topics here and the anit wii lynch mob is up in arms and trolls the topic pretty hard. well i m sorry - but where are they now? kinect is less responisve and useful than the original wiimote. the software is lackluter or bonus modes in existing games. most of the cames are cash in on successful nintendo ideas.

for me to promote kinect would be like for me to get excited by cash in tripe like carnival games or deca sports - i cant do it.

and ms - you should be able to do better. you have all the advantages but such limited vision and such poor execution. but as long as you keep buying games add for game mags and interent sites i guess you will keep the popular opinion....

where is the sound and fury????

The "Anti Wii Lynch Mob"...hmmm, that doesn't sound half bad as a group description.

Garbage press conference. Microsoft is becoming the new Nintendo: relying on tired franchises while milking the casual market with horrible gimmicks.

well one thing about nintnedo


they have more franchises


their franchise have more variety


they sequelize less than the other big companies


they MAKE the games that MS is now trying to copy


they make more new ips than anyone else.


reall if you hate big budget gaming, nintendo is like your favorite company - they are so much fresher. ms is like a dude in a suit crunching numbers like an insurance adjuster trying to find the most money to suck out of a game franchise - price x reiterations per generation to the power of game subscriptions and pay dlc / growing disinterest + cash in sales dissolution > massive advertising budget (we hope)

As long as their games are fun then there's no fuss.

Too bad they aren't.

Try arguing with a little child that this isn't fun? You most certianly are older, so this game isn't for you anyway.

Besides, they have a few first person and third person shooters.

Obviously, I speak for myself. Not some four year old kid who loves him some Elmo.

I've played Gears, I've played Halo, and I don't want to play with the spotty Kinect. There's no 360 exclusive I want to play this year, and that puts them in third place for me.

Hey man, that's a Double Fine game you're making fun of!

Understand that I don't really care for Microsoft, but what they're doing isn't bad in terms of business. They are trying to broaden their market, like the videogame great Nintendo.

Did Microsoft ultimately have a bad E3...most likely, but mainly because they keep popping out the same "big boy" games over and over again with little to no changes.

I was a bit surprised by the MS press conference. I was expecting there to only be Kinect and while i was expecting Gears 3 i had seen plenty of it already but i still enjoyed seeing some more of it more than i thought i would, i was also expecting the Halo Anniversary HD remake thing but i wasn't expecting Halo 4 to be announced so that caught me by surprise.

I would say it was overall a good press conference that surpassed my expectations but it wasn't great. Although maybe it was just that i am so excited that E3 is here that any E3 news will make me happy.

but cookie monstre dont even eat cookies no more! seasame steeet FAIL

Sesame Street was actually the best looking Kinect game. Little kids should totally dig that.

Everything else... not so much.
