And what the fuck? The Xbox recognizes who you are and signs you into Live? Xbox is aware now? Oh shit, 3...2...1...skynet bitches.

The Germanator · 06-01-2009, 03:12 PM

Man, if only Bob Ross were still around, that painting demo would have been epic.

BreakABone · 06-01-2009, 03:18 PM

The Milo/Mylo demo was just a tad creepy.

KillerGremlin · 06-01-2009, 03:20 PM

Looks like I can't pick my nose while playing Xbox360 and definitely can't game in the nude like I normally do anymore.

Bond · 06-01-2009, 03:21 PM

Interesting... that's quite more advanced than I thought it would be, and more substantial.

DarkMaster · 06-01-2009, 03:22 PM

Pretty good overall, although the biggest thing for me was seeing english voices already in FFXIII. I wonder why we didn't see any Mass Effect 2?

BreakABone · 06-01-2009, 03:25 PM

Yeah that was an awesome conference.

I mean based on sheer content, I doubt Nintendo nor Sony can match.

And the technology for Natal looks awesome, though some of it will be interesting with no physical representation.

Milo scares me.

KillerGremlin · 06-01-2009, 03:25 PM

It's too bad all these motion games are mostly shovelware and arcade style. The reality of the situation is I think you need some form of tactile feedback or a controller for serious gaming. How do you call up your inventory or use a C-button type thing without a controller?

In one regard I think what Microsoft has here is actually much nicer than having to hold a Wii-mote, but I think the Wii-mote is better integrated for serious gaming aka game like Twilight Princess and Metroid Prime.

Wow holy shit. I just said Nintendo's Wii is better made for serious gaming. Actually all you need to do with your 360 is pick up a 360 controller...

Which means this new motion stuff is obviously being put into place to cater to the casual gaming and dum-dum crowd that has made the Wii the number one selling console.

Bond · 06-01-2009, 03:48 PM

The 360's lineup for this year is starting to look a lot better than it originally did.

KillerGremlin · 06-01-2009, 03:53 PM

200 bucks for the Microsoft Wii thing. Seems kind of pricey.

Angrist · 06-01-2009, 04:17 PM

I'm waiting for a good replay of this. Sounds interesting.

BreakABone · 06-01-2009, 04:31 PM

Well that's a nifty little service.

BreakABone · 06-01-2009, 05:30 PM

Peter Moore at EA's press briefing, sure Bond is regretting this.

More Lionhead "Mylo" Project Info

For those of yoou haven't seen Project Natal trailer.

Angrist · 06-01-2009, 05:48 PM

Thanks.

Great technology, I have to say.
But it's all about the games.

And no release date yet, right? They've just sent out development kits... The Xbox 4pi might as well be out before we get decent games.

Interesting tech though.

Bond · 06-01-2009, 06:04 PM

I think this is a pretty big research and development investment into the future. I doubt Microsoft is anticipating short-term returns.
