Did anyone see the Microsoft E3 Press Conference? I saw it live on gamespot and it was amazing! I really suggest watching it if you didn't. Gamespot are uploading it now so it should be up soon.

Microsoft Press Conference - E3 09 Live Video Game Demos at GameSpot

Can't wait for the other press confrences by nintendo and sony tomorrow.
 
Can't wait for all these games! I mean Assassin's Creed 2, Crackdown 2, Mass Effect 2, Modern Warfare 2, Bioshock 2, Left 4 Dead 2, Just Cause 2, Dead Rising 2, Halo: Reach, Halo 3: STD (that was you Nutter ;)), I mean ODST. I have a feeling I may have missed a few, but I know there are a lot of games. I have a sickening feeling that I am going to be very poor, very soon. Especially with Red Faction tomorrow, and Protoype next week. Goodbye paychecks!
 
all i can say is halo reach and halo std(nutty did that :P )... :)

Halo 3 STD ;) is out the same week Halo 3 was I believe, should be able to get it finished before Uni starts again.

Also looking forward to Crackdown 2, Halo: Reach and Possibly Left for Dead 2.

Project Natal looks like it will bring the 360 on par with the Wii for interactivity.

I also think the Facebook and Twitter integration for the 360 could be fun.

Wii - Barely played, it was sort of fun. Don't know about anything new for it.
Sony - Don't know never played it, heard something about a wand or something.
Xbox - Something about not needing a controller anymore, although I could care less seeing how i'm about 5 minutes away from bashing my 360 with a sledge hammer:@

That sounds serious. Don't do it! Whatever it did wrong, it didn't mean it!

Well, it felt like being a total POS!!! It randomly corrupted my profile (after getting yet another E68 error) then I try to recover my profile from XBL. Then it decides to tell me I can't recover my profile because I don't have enough room, even though i have 5.8GB LEFT ON THE DAMN HDD. So I delete my profile from my 360 but since Microsoft makes horrible controllers, I went to delete it and go up to delete profile and nothing else but since the controller is a piece of shit I pressed up twice but only went up once and so it deleted my profile and ALL of my games and gamesaves. I think a nice session of smashing my 360 into the ground may be what I need to do.

I'm to the point where I could care less about my Xbox. No one knows how to make a console that doesn't break anymore.
 
I was very impressed with Microsofts conference. It had plenty of new games to show, great trailers of games already announced and some great gameplay demonstrations as well like Alan Wake, which I thought was becoming like DNF. Very interested in Natal, it looks like it'd be great if it works they way they showed it working. I did have a funny thought on it though. When you stand in front of it, it automatically signs you into Xbox Live. But what happens if you have an identical twin, how would it know who is who?
 
It probably couldn't. I knew identical twin and I could actually tell them apart when others really couldn't for some reason, they looked slightly different but I doubt that the recognition on it will be THAT good.

I for one am looking forward to this Natal project. I mean the Wii is one thing, but to use motion detection in full blockbuster games would be awesome. Makes me wonder how the new Tony Hawk Ride game will work. I know they have a skateboard but I'm wondering how they can get all the tricks in the game to be done on just that flat board, I mean I'm assuming you cannot lift the board off the ground, so I wonder how exactly it will work.
 
Im not sure if it would work too well at all with Tony Hawks, Tony himself has said said “We actually tried to get Tony Hawk Ride running with a camera, but it wasn’t accurate enough. Plus you can’t really do ollies, grabs and flips when you’re just standing on nothing.” – Link

As I mentioned in another post with the right games I can see this been quite successful, it depends a lot on the devs too.

Here is an article I found that talks about the top 5 games that Natal would be useful for: IGN: Post-E3 2009: The Benefits of Natal. It has some interesting ideas.

Wow. I never even thought of that. You can use both the controller and natal while playing a game like in some of the examples given on that link. This could make gaming much more interactive and fun while actually working!
