E3 2010 thread of E3-ness and MASSIVE LEAKS

[DBR]

I eagarly await Nintendo news, but it seems every year I am dissaponted by Nintendo at E3 so I won't hold my breath for anything, well, breath taking.

Okay, that was a good year

 

[Skywalker]

That's not for the Xbox... that's for the CAMERA.

Oh yeah, the thing I'm never going to get. Oh well, I still might end up getting one of the new models anyway. I'll wait and see how the reviews turn out.

So, some seriously weird shit is going on at the Kinect event.

Nobody has any idea what's going on. 6 game journos on the ground floor, all terrified.

Here's a summary of what's been going on.

Repent, ye mortals, lest the Beast devour your soul.

 

[firehawk12]

Yeah, pics have been hitting GAF as people freak out about the non-event.

It's finally started at least!

 

[clint g]

I always felt Natal was a bad idea. It looks like the event is the first step towards the fail

 

[Timby]

All the ponchos just lit up green, apparently.

 

[firehawk12]

Yeah, someone took out their LED pack and took a picture of it.

Also:

Looks like they revealed a Star Wars game where you swing your arm to swing a lightsaber. Wiiiiii!
Also a Wii Fit clone incoming.

 

[Timby]

And it ended with a dance party. Everyone was forced to dance.

This ... this is what happens when you give the marketing department a blank check and tell them, "Oh, just do something cool."

 

[clint g]

LOL Apparently they didn't get the memo that gamers do not dance

 

[Sheep]

Finally, a second good use for Twitter (the only other one being Conan O'Brien's feed):

# Everyone is glowing, must be the ponchos device #Kinect #Natal #E3 29 minutes ago via web

# Avatars are flying through the space right now, weird #Kinect #Natal #E3 31 minutes ago via web

# I don't know what's going on right now #Kinect #Natal #E3 33 minutes ago via web

# Everything is LIVE, I repeat #Kinect #Natal #E3 35 minutes ago via web

You'd think the guy was drunk reading the entries for the Microsoft event in chronological order.

 

[firehawk12]

Feep's meltdown was kind of epic as well.
A lot of WTF at how the thing went on at the end.

Of course, the most important thing - the price, is still being kept "secret".

So, perfect for apartment dwellers!

Yeah, really not buying one of those.

Re: New Xbox model, Natal renamed "Kinect"

I don't like the new look. Like the article says, "sharp and angry"

Sounds like a perfect match for Microsoft's core demographic of 15yr-old males.

Me neither - it's obviously just going to be for shitty Wii-style Mii-60 avatar games.

Now if they could make it work with Super Streetfighter IV...

Meh, all I'm interested in from E3 is news on Red Faction Armageddon and Saints Row 3

...It looks like it would take the same amount of time to standing up, walking over to the TV and changing the channel manually as apposed to how the changed it with the natal at the end of that video....

Were is the voice recognition the spoke about last year, why are they not changing the channel like that.

 

[JonathonWally]

I play video games when I'm half asleep and don't want to get up, so I'm obviously not the intended audience.


The possibilities for drunken stupidity are endless though..

 

[clint g]

If the game is something my whole family can enjoy, it is certainly not targeted towards me. Pass.

 

[JonathonWally]

I take it we're using this thread as a catch-all for E3? If that's the case, then here's my wishlist

Resident Evil news
Devil May Cry news

I predict we won't see that though.

 

[Rii]

"What are we hoping for this year, Brain?"
"The same thing we hope for every year, Pinky: F-Zero GX2."

I'm also interested to see what thatgamecompany has planned for the third and final game they're under contract to Sony for.

"The same thing we hope for every year, Pinky: F-Zero GX2."

That would make me buy a Wii.
