E3 2011 Microsoft Press Conference

Not sure, Twycross looks pretty big, I was under the impression Digbeth was a whole new studio.

I'm disappointed that MS didn't take advantage of the revival of the fighting genre with Killer Instinct, Nintendo have done well with platformers so they could have had a Banjo Threeie and instead of Halo every 12 months they could have at least alternated with Perfect Dark. Also no new PGR.

Missed oppurtunity really.

Phew, just sat and watched the conference, and read through this thread. It's such a shame that Halo 4 got leaked before the show, because that's pretty much the only thing that would have made an 'impact'. The rest of the games - particularly on Kinect - continue to disappoint, with the exception of Gears and Forza, but their quality is predictable. I'll be getting Kinect Sports 2, but there didn't really seem to be much else to cater for a core Kinect gamer like me. I hope Ryse ends up good, though.
Especially pleased about Halo: CE HD, seeing as though I've not played it before.

And massive thanks to the 2 forumites texting me updates :wub:

What about DC2, Buff? I thought you were crazy good at the first one?

It was too hard, and I didn't really like enough of the music. All of this modern r and b crap can take a running jump.

There is a Rise of Nightmare trailer somewhere. Looks like a Dreamcast on rails horror game. I'll see if I can find it.

Cheers Suzzles.

WTF...A RARE studio in Digbeth. DIGBETH, Birmingham?

Yeah, it opened earlier this year, I think.

Still no reason for me to get back in to gaming at least not until 2012 for Halo4. Not sure I agree with a remake of CE it was fine as it was.

When I was in Singapore I spoke to some people from Lucas Arts and they confirmed as much.

Indeed, this is news to me too!

Star Wars could be aces on Move; you've got a much more advanced motion system than the Wii, but you're not stripped of the controller like Kinect does. It's pretty much the best hope for Star Wars this generation.

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

Want the bad news?

BigPark are developing it (co-developed by Rare).

Yep, because they did such a good job with Joy Ride, MS handed them the biggest Kinect title they have... :fp:

The longer they leave Killer Instinct dead the better.

I really liked Killer Instinct, but part of that I suspect was because it was a very good looking SNES game. Not sure the same attraction would be possible now.

Not completely on rails, in fact it looks pretty damn good(gameplay wise).
