Could say that about alot of XBLA games, really disappointed they haven't shown more so far. Plus, when the hell is Fez coming out? I was sure that would have been part of the Summer of Arcade

Two years now and absolutely nothing that has even made me consider wanting Kinect. I obviously don't get it - but colour me disappointed. Seems to turn games into QTE-fests rather then actually freeing the player like it should.

AS you'd expect, publishers are too risk-adverse to do anything with it. Expect to see all the interesting Kinect stuff turning up on PC first.

My girlfriend likes the look of Kinect Disney Adventures, but immediately said "it's a shame it's for Kinect, because it would be so nice with just a normal controller".

Nope. ODST and Reach were both disappointments.

Reach is the best Halo game.

This. If the best AAA devs can come up with is shitty voice recognition and a glorified menu system I have zero interest.

Yeah, gotta love the motion blur, clichéd characters and same-as-it-ever-was gameplay. It was typical Halo with worse characters, writing and story. How can that possibly make it "the best"?

Hardly, I've just never found them an annoyance.

One of the funny things about Microsoft's conference is that if they had just announced that Minecraft was coming exclusively to XBLA, I think the impact would have been a much greater one.

However, the fact they tried to shoehorn the fact it'll have Kinect support sent out a confusing message to the audience and the people watching at home. Thankfully we now know that Kinect is optional and it can be played on a controller.

So, then a Kinect heavy E3.

Most of the Kinect games looks gooseberry fool with only Mass Effect 3 and Kinec t Sports 2 being the exception.

Didnt care for all the live TV stuff (I dont get it, I watch live sky already) but 2 new Halos? GET IN! :wub:

Gears of War 3 looked the same as the second one, ill get it though for the 4 player co-op but im not excited at all.

What was all that UFC stuff?

Are Americans now getting all UFC PPVs included in their Gold sub? I couldn't tell.

Maybe we can have them too. :shifty:

Having become a little press conference savvy I noticed they said something like, it will exclusively debut on 360.

What the hell are Rare doing? :lol:

I need a job at that place

PostRe: Microsoft Press Conference by **Rik** » Tue Jun 07, 2011 1:25 pm

It's strange that Rare seemed totally absent, did anyone find out who exactly is doing Kinect Sports 2? Rare had another studio in Digbeth so it is strange they had nothing to show between them.

I'm sure I saw the Rare "R" logo when they were teeing off in the Golf game.

Isn't the place in Digbeth just a testing facility? Kinect needs a shitload of space to test, not just because of the movement but because having Kinects near each other causes problems.
