It sucks I will be missing most of the e3 press conferences this year.

Well, I think MS will have it up afterwards.

Are you doing Sony and Nintendo's as well?

Yes, give me time!

I'm off all day Monday, it's time to see some serious Microsoft glory to start it off... Gears 2, Banjo, Viva Pinata, Fable 2. *faints*

And this is just the Microsoft conference, when Sony's come along this week... *dies*

Bond 07-12-2008 02:40 PM

Re: Microsoft Press Conference: Stream & Discussion
 
We're taking bets everyone!

When Aladuf sees the Gears of War 2 footage during the Microsoft press conference will he:

a) faint
b) have a heart attack
c) have a stroke
d) all of the above

Get your wager in today! ;)

I think Mr.Duf will be doing something not on that list, but I won't say.

I think it will be something a little bit more enjoyable for himself

I remember seeing that Banjo footage.

I also remember seeing the flame war on Digg about the cheap shot thing at Mario at the end of the trailer.

Potential HL2:Ep3 information!!! Thats on the top of my list for E3 and until the release of it.

Bond 07-14-2008 10:23 AM

Re: Microsoft Press Conference: Stream & Discussion
 
Oh no! I accidently scheduled a meeting for work two weeks ago during the press conference!

Epic fail. :(

Well the Fallout 3 demo was kind of dull, though I'm sure it'll be a quality game. RE5 looks fine, but in all honesty I wish they would've done something with the controls, it looks like it plays exactly the same as RE4. Fable 2 looks awesome, I think the best game of the show, even though the demo was nothing special. And yeah Gears of War 2 looks good. Definitely some quality titles on the 360.

Avatars, huh? Well alright.

BreakABone 07-14-2008 03:06 PM

Re: Microsoft Press Conference: Stream & Discussion
 
Wow Final Fantasy 13

Didn't see that one coming.

Aladuf 07-14-2008 03:08 PM

Re: Microsoft Press Conference: Stream & Discussion
 
I died during the Gears 2 showing, no lie. 5 player co-op?!?!?!?!

DarkMaster 07-14-2008 03:11 PM

Re: Microsoft Press Conference: Stream & Discussion
 
Holy crap eh, FF13 on 360. Square Enix is delivering a ton of shit for this console, Infinite Undiscovery this september, Last Remnant in november, Star Ocean 4 in the spring...

Angrist 07-14-2008 03:21 PM

Re: Microsoft Press Conference: Stream & Discussion
 
So anything on motion control? And what about those avatars? I can't find a place to see the show.

Bond 07-14-2008 04:24 PM

Re: Microsoft Press Conference: Stream & Discussion
 
Wow, has anyone read into the Xbox LIVE fall update that is coming? There's some pretty stellar stuff in there. I'll post about it when I get done with work.

Re: Microsoft Press Conference: Stream & Discussion
 
Where XBL is going seems amazing. I can't wait for it all to be brought to us. I'm not so hot on the avatars but still.

You know I thought it was just a Sony thing.
But you have a real turn-on for firmware updates don't you. ;)

You know, I'd be impressed if Microsoft actually did something innovative this gen. So far, they've just opened their pocketbooks, stolen franchises, and copied other companies' ideas.

DarkMaster 07-14-2008 05:32 PM

Re: Microsoft Press Conference: Stream & Discussion
 
So we're going to be able to fully upload games onto the HDD and play without loading times or that annoying disc spinning sound? Coooool.

The reworking of the dashboard looks like Media Center, and I hate Media Center. Dammit, do I have to update?

That wouldn't be very Microsoft now would it?

It's so hard to watch this press conference. Don Mattrick is a complete tool.

Bring back Peter Moore! *cries*

Seriously, even Larry Hyrb would be better than Mr. Mattrick.

They should just get Steve Ballmer to do it. Honestly.

So true.

Re: Microsoft Press Conference: Stream & Discussion
 
I would pay $5 to see Ballmer work the conference.

What is Portal Still Alive? I haven't seen any of the news yet, been busy. Is it the original Portal on XBLA? I hope so, since I don't care for any of the Orange Box except Portal, but would like a copy.

Aladuf 07-16-2008 02:07 AM

Re: Microsoft Press Conference: Stream & Discussion
 
It's a new Portal for XBLA. Not the Orange Box one. New levels and all.

This. Gabe Newell said a new one wouldn't hit "retail" until christmas so that means it just won't be on shelves until then.
