[TH3 GAM3]

So M$ is going first this time?

[THUGGEDOUT]

I'm not familiar with how E3 is done, is a pre-E3 press conference normal or is this something special Microsoft have done to announce something potentially big?

[AJe]

The big 3 all do Pre-E3 conferences to show off their new hardware/games/etc.

[TH3 GAM3]

They usually show off some current and new games but any major announcements are announce during their keynote. My question is, when are the keynotes?!

[AJe]

These dates/times are the keynotes

[THUGGEDOUT]

Okay, if they are doing a pre-E3 conference, what generally happens at the actual start and during E3?

[TH3 GAM3]

These dates/times are the keynotes
Oh, my fault AJe. Thanks for the heads up.

[AJe]

Okay, if they are doing a pre-E3 conference, what generally happens at the actual start and during E3?

During E3 there's loads of private meetings/showcases.

Also there's the main show floor where Press/Media can try out games to report on.

Other companies like Konami/Square Enix/EA hold their own conferences showing off their new games.

[Soldier 95B]

I wonder if $ony will be attending the Microsoft keynote :-)

[Linkedscorpion]

I wonder if will be attending the Microsoft keynote :-)

with an idea list notepad, lol

sorry couldnt help myself

[Beemer]

MS went first last year. MS was friday night, Sony saturday morning and nintendo saturday afternoon.

[NinjaFridge]

MS went first last year. MS was friday night, Sony saturday morning and nintendo saturday afternoon.

No. Microsoft were Tuesday night, Nintendo were Wednesday Morning and Sony were last, just after Nintendo.

[Beemer]

No. Microsoft were Tuesday night, Nintendo were Wednesday Morning and Sony were last, just after Nintendo.

My bad, Nintendo did go before Sony. I remember that MS went first though, the night before the other two.

[Carl]

All i remember about any of last year's E3 is Sony talking through their HOME avatars, and Killzone2. Oh and Nintendo doing almost an entire show on WiiFit.

Not much of MS comes to mind though.

You don't remember the scripted Madden game with Reggie Bush?

Also, CliffyB talking Gears PC, a Halo trailer, Rock Band demonstration, Mass Effect, some numbers and Halo Edition SKU.

Who's giving the MS keynote? Peter Moore is gone!:shock:

[DOGG]

Probably Shane Kim. I hope not; I can't stand him.

Oh yeah, now i remember.

I'm wondering the same thign about Sony, with Phil gone. Seems they've both lost their best speakers.

[NinjaFridge]

Oh yeah, now i remember.

I'm wondering the same thign about Sony, with Phil gone. Seems they've both lost their best speakers.


I assume the new guy will be doing it, hope he does a good job

[Beemer]

Probably Shane Kim. I hope not; I can't stand him.

Yea, his media and PR outings have not been good. Anyone remember when Shane though it was huge news RE5 was going to be on the 360? Only to find out its was announced over 2 years before!:snicker

Another option is Jeff Bell I think. Hard to replace Peter Moore and Phil Harrison though. They were both great speakers and PR guys.

Jeff Bell doesn't work for Microsoft anymore. He left last month.

Aaron Greenberg is an option i suppose but the guy spends more time talking about SONY and Nintendo than he does about XBOX.

[X2]

It will be Don Mattrick the guy that took over Peter job.

[Agriel]

25 mins til the press event starts, so get ready guys

[AJe]

Talk about the Press Conference and what Microsoft announce in here.

[LeisureSuitLarry]

It will be Don Mattrick the guy that took over Peter job.

Man, I already miss Peter Moore. That dude was smooth.

[mankind]

I want to watch this, do I just go to the sites listed and watch from there even though im not regestered?

[AJe]

Yeah that should be all you need to do

[Carl]

Cool i'll watch it even though i don't really care what happens. Quite excited though for some reason :p

[Sonyfanboy-uk]

well looks like gamespot and screwattack both died

[:mn:]

well looks like gamespot and screwattack both died
hmmm that sucks that gamespot is showing problems before it even started lol

[Carl]

Hardly surprising really. I was waiting for it to happen.

[Sonyfanboy-uk]

im using the livewire link as that seems to be working and i think its starting??

[Brinn]

Yeah... I am taping it off of G4... I will watch it when I get home.

[AJe]

I've got livewire open. All black at the moment.

[Sonyfanboy-uk]

Good to know as mine is black aswell thought my tab was screwed

[LeisureSuitLarry]

yep....live wire working for me as well. Says playing 645Kbps.....but still a black screen.

[Fredag]

Yepp, I have had it open for two ours, lol. Got used to the sound, then it just died...

[rockousaf]

yup livewire is all black, I was using the g4 stream but it was choppy so I hope IGN is better

[Infinite Daremo]

yep....live wire working for me as well. Says playing 645Kbps.....but still a black screen.

Ive got the heart beating sound and the LiveWire logo up, try a refresh.

[Sonyfanboy-uk]

ive did a refresh and ive got the logo up again??

[Reevr]

Livewire is working for me. Maybe you guys just timed out

[samven582]

is it just me or is gamespot down??

[LeisureSuitLarry]

ive did a refresh and ive got the logo up again??

I didn't refresh, but it changed to the pulse/logo thing on its own. I dunno. I'm a paying subscriber to IGN so....ya know....dis crap better work. :twisted:

[Agriel]

the heart beat thing is annoying, and yes G4TV coverage sucks its really bad choppy

[LeisureSuitLarry]

we've got a picture!!!!! whoohoo!

[Nuvian]

I got the pulse logo aswell, i was hoping it went up a 10mins before at least so we know it's working.

[Carl]

I've got some groovy sounds and the logo up now on Livewire

[Dibbz]

Well livewire shows the logo for me but the heart beating sound just cut off a second ago. Must be comming on soon. Gspot is dead and G4 is just a blank screen :|

[Sonyfanboy-uk]

we will find out in less than a minute:)

[:mn:]

Livewire is working

http://livewire.ign.com/2008/e3/index.html#

[stylo1]

[Infinite Daremo]

Ive got G4 and Livewire up and one of them is giving off strange noises. Sounds like Aliens :o

[Dibbz]

OK so livewire is up now but the sound is totaly out of whack.

[R3D D3V!L]

I might watch this, just to laugh at Shane Kim and Aaron Greenberg.

[LeisureSuitLarry]

Looks like three stages/screens......all lit up in green oddly enough.

[rockousaf]

yes livewire just started! why is that guy from G4 always nodding his head like 100 times a minute hes in the bottom of the shot lol its really annoying

[Agriel]

LiveWire is working for me now, just music atm but we have picture

[Carl]

Yup the sound is totally knackered.

[Infinite Daremo]

The music is extremely bad :(

[Dibbz]

Livewire is up and working 100%.

[Sonyfanboy-uk]

[Dibbz]

[Reevr]

[rockousaf]

[LeisureSuitLarry]

[chartwel]

[Reevr]

[PS3GamerKyle]

That Fallout 3 demo was awesome!

But wtf, exclusive dlc for Xbox 360?!@?

[LeisureSuitLarry]

wow.....Fallout 3 looks bloody as hell. definitely a M rating on the way.

[Reevr]

Oh geeze... I hope the pop-in isn't this bad in the final game

[Pez_555]

fallout 3 LOOKS CRAP!!! lol

[LeisureSuitLarry]

That Fallout 3 demo was awesome!

But wtf, exclusive dlc for Xbox 360?!@?

MS opened up the pocket books again. Get on the ball, Sony!

[stylo1]

EXCLUSIVE FALLOUT CONTENT! come on sony... how could you let that happen!?

[chartwel]

MS opened up the pocket books again. Get on the ball, Sony!

yep, sony got screwed once again. they need to start paying for stuff.

[:mn:]

fallout 3 looks pretty good =D

[Reevr]

Quite honestly that flute patriotic music or whatever really ruined all that footage...

[Sonyfanboy-uk]

i want one of those umbrella tops

[Pez_555]

Resi 5 looks amazing. cant wait for this.

[:mn:]

i want one of those umbrella tops
So do i xD if you find anywhere to get them..tell me =D

[Reevr]

The enemies in RE5 seem really un-responsive. They just stand there and take the shots.

[Breakpoint25]

Let me know what happens! I cant get the streams since I am at work and dont know whats happening!!!!

[LeisureSuitLarry]

The enemies in RE5 seem really un-responsive. They just stand there and take the shots.

That's cuz zombies are stupid.

Uh....no offense to any zombies that post here. :oops:

[Reevr]

Fable 2! Now this is something I'm excited for!

[R3D D3V!L]

RE5 just plays like RE4. Slightly disappointing IMHO.

[Pez_555]

march 13th 2009 release for resi 5, that sucks!

[stylo1]

Thank god...i thought when RE5 dev said "1 more thing..." it was gonna be more exclusive stuff

[:mn:]

The graphics are pretty WOAH though.

[PS3GamerKyle]

The enemies in RE5 seem really un-responsive. They just stand there and take the shots.

I noticed that as well..

But Fallout 3 looked ****** amazing.

[LeisureSuitLarry]

all that just to see some bird take a dump?????

[AJe]

Its a conference demo, not the final AI for sure

[kudoshinchi]

OMG Fable 2 that the game i want to see screw RE5

[chartwel]

yeah, RE5 was a little disappointing, though they didnt show a lot of stuff. none of the melee hand to hand combat was shown.

[Reevr]

Thank god...i thought when RE5 dev said "1 more thing..." it was gonna be more exclusive stuff

I thought he was going to say that too! I was biting my fingernails!

[samven582]

wow Fable looks amazing!!

[R3D D3V!L]

Thank god...i thought when RE5 dev said "1 more thing..." it was gonna be more exclusive stuff
So did I, lol. But the release date is later than i thought. I was expecting a 2008 release.

[the_End]

Gears of War 2 is on right now, still haven't played the first. Need to pick it up for my PC.

[:mn:]

Fable Looks Brilliant!!! Oh and yeah it is lucky LOL

[Sonyfanboy-uk]

OMG swinging in Fable II wow

[Reevr]

So if Fable 2 is done then why are they waiting till October to release it?

[silvermanor]

Why are all Microsoft conferences so bloody boring? Fable does look pretty good though.

[SixAxisRumble]

October for Fable 2

Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

[Reevr]

No way that trailer for Gears 2 was in-game.

[LeisureSuitLarry]

wow Fable looks amazing!!

I dunno.....looked boring to me.


Gears 2....otoh....looks AMAZING!

[LeisureSuitLarry]

lol.....gears 2 cutscene went black then started over.

[:mn:]

gears of war 2...WOAH...............

[Jaeger]

Fable 2 is looking pretty good. Should be interesting to see how people react when their wives/husbands are getting banged by their friends, haha. GoW2 looks good, too, but a bit too action-packed for my liking, y'know, too much happening at once. Might be worth a look at though.

[R3D D3V!L]

Gears 2 looks good, though it just looks like gears 1.

[DangerousMali]

Gears is looking freat and fun to play

[PS3GamerKyle]

Gears of War 2 looks good.. Have the graphics really improved since Gears 1?

[:mn:]

Gears of War 2 looks good.. Have the graphics really improved since Gears 1?

to me they have also seems like alot more color.

[Stoffinator]

Gears of War 2 looks good.. Have the graphics really improved since Gears 1?

Not really. But I guess that isn't all that bad.

[SixAxisRumble]

Holy ****, Gears 2 is looking insane!

[LeisureSuitLarry]

kotaku is speculating that the Gears 2 was prerecorded because of the freeze up and restart.

[PS3GamerKyle]

The end of the Gears of War 2 demo, that huge *** monster looked suspiciously like the Leviathian boss in Resistance 2..

[C.Birch]

Gears don't look that good to me, there seams to be way less going on then killzone 2 and killzone 2 looks to me loads better already.

[DangerousMali]

November 7 wow mighty close to resistance release expect hordes of sales comparison

[clean515]

Why are all Microsoft conferences so bloody boring? Fable does look pretty good though.

The quests and all that crap is gone... Now it's about polishing.

[the_End]

Here we go with sales, god this guy is so damn boring. He just said XBOX 360 will outsell the PS3 but nothing about the Wii :lol:.

[PS3GamerKyle]

WTF? Those graphs they are showing, it seems like they are going directly at Playstation 3. They aren't even mentioning the Wii..

[bravens52]

Gears Looked Great...5 Player Co Op Insane

[Pez_555]

yea gears 2 looks insanely good.

[SixAxisRumble]

So far so good for M$ whats next?

[Sonyfanboy-uk]

Oh god the suit is back time to cover you ears before he fills em full of ****

[chartwel]

gears looks more fun than the first one, so thats good. i didnt think part 1 was that great.

[Jaeger]

I noticed that the Gears of War 2 demo seemed to restart, but I just put it down to IGN's crappy video player. Even if it was pre-recorded, who really cares? It doesn't mean the quality of the game will be any less, it just means that they don't want to play it live in case they **** up and look like idiots in front of the whole world. I, for one, am interested by GoW2 and will be keeping an eye on it.

[DangerousMali]

Here we go with sales, god this guy is so damn boring. He just said XBOX 360 will outsell the PS3 but nothing about the Wii :lol:.

he said 360 will sell more than wii and ps3 combined :shock:, this guys nuts

[the_End]

WTF? Those graphs they are showing, it seems like they are going directly at Playstation 3. They aren't even mentioning the Wii..

I know, we have sold 5M more then the PS3 in the US yet nothing how the Wii is only 100K away from surpassing the XBOX 360 in the US. God, this guy is so damn boring and dull, get someone else out there fast.

[dondidit]

Fallout 3 is so dry to me and fable didn't do it either. Gears is a one day purchase for me it got my blood flowing again. Time to get serious again. wonder what banjo is going to do for me once they show it.

[:mn:]

gears of war 2 looks really brilliant i cant wait =D

[LeisureSuitLarry]

Don Mattrick is about as exciting as an in-grown toe-nail.

[Infinite Daremo]

Why did he have to say that about the PS3?
:(

[stylo1]

They guarantee that they will outsell ps3! What the hell!

[Reevr]

Did this guy pull these sales numbers out of his ***? Cause they're ****!

[chartwel]

this conference went downhill quick. i hope to god they have more games to show, preferably not multiplatform titles.

[bravens52]

How Arrogant Was That Declaring That 360 Already Won The Console War Between Itself And The Ps3...that Was A Dumb Statement

[the_End]

OMFG the dude is finally leaving and why is it that Microsoft's conference so damn boring? I just tuned in and Gears of War 2 is the only good thing I've seen.

[R3D D3V!L]

LOL. They're dreaming if they think they will outsell the PS3 worldwide at the end of this gen.

[DangerousMali]

Don Mattrick is about as exciting as an in-grown toe-nail.

yeah he needs the sack even his voice annoys me

[PS3GamerKyle]

What site are you guys watching this through? I want to know what is the best, so I can use that one for the Sony one tomorrow.

[PS3GamerKyle]

WTF? It looks like a Mii and a PSN Card combined!? WTF?

[Xaor]

Here we go... It's the cross between Miis and Home chars!

Dashboard 2.0 confirmed? Looks... looks quite cool.. still lots of unused space though.

[SixAxisRumble]

Who cares what the guy is like, were watching it for the games not how great the guy is lol

[chartwel]

the live wire feed. its really good

[the_End]

OMFG new XBOX 360 dashboard SUCKS!! :lol:. Oh jesus, they just copied the Mii from the Wii :lol:.

[C.Birch]

Here we go with sales, god this guy is so damn boring. He just said XBOX 360 will outsell the PS3 but nothing about the Wii :lol:.

Note how its only USA numbers, world wide is a total other matter and whats with the going on record saying they will defo outsell the PS3 this Gen?

Are they going count this Gen being over when there next system comes out as the PS3 as already closed aload of the gap up world wide or they just talking USA again?

[Carl]

I like the way they only mention US sales! lol

[Cyb3rHav0k]

LMAO.

Everyone welcome to the new 360 Dashboard!

.......

Wait for applause....

Still waiting....

Minor applause. LMFAO.

Home rip-off much? Shoddy one at that. Kinda.

[jeffo04]

What site are you guys watching this through? I want to know what is the best, so I can use that one for the Sony one tomorrow.

I am watching on IGN...I was on G4's site but it kept skipping plus it looked awful...even the free IGN feed is clearer

[the_End]

OMFG Mii rip-off with Avatars :lol:.

[Feli]

this... is boring. I was, and still am, interested in Gears 2 and Fable 2, but nothing they've said makes me want to buy a 360. especially not the guarantee that they'll outsell the PS3 this gen =\ that's just stupid.

sweet interface though. but Avatars? pfft.

[stylo1]

LOL...nobody clapped for a moment... New dashboard looks annoying

[PS3GamerKyle]

the live wire feed. its really good


alright cool...

They said, "The avatar experience can only be done on the Xbox 360" Wtf?

They look like Miis! And a LIVE PARTY? Hello? Home anybody? They are stealing ideas from Nintendo and Sony!

[Carl]

The avatar things look sh*t

[Xaor]

To be honest, I'm not liking the new dashboard at all... but the reason is this... this community thing is even more odd. It really is an absolutely blatant copy ^.^ Which is fine. More than fine. Oh my BLOODY God... this is starting to get to the point where it's totally ridiculous...

Welcome to Buzz!

Kinda looks a bit... euh... liking the features... but it looks a bit dumb.

[R3D D3V!L]

I like the way they only mention US sales! lol
Same here. They know they're getting owned in Europe and Japan.

[Reevr]

Incoming!!!! Newest lawsuit! Sony sues Microsoft for making a ****ty copy of the XMB!

[SixAxisRumble]

Oh no, this looks GAY! I blame Sony with thier gay home :2gun:

[chartwel]

lets see some people defending the home, XMB and mii rip off. lol. wow. bring the games.

[bravens52]

What A Rip Off Of Ps3 Home With This Avatar Crap...microsoft Is Desperate

[LeisureSuitLarry]

let's see....they ripped off the Mii, home, Apple's cover flow.....anything else?

[DangerousMali]

haha friends Mii rip off avatars pop up when online

[Infinite Daremo]

Love the new dash. Live improves yet again!

[Sonyfanboy-uk]

great guess there wont be any metal clothing for guys we are all just gonna look like emo's OH GOD.

and there aint no tattoo's im disapointed with that

[Xaor]

Starting to like it a bit more actually. I just wish there was a bit more space used... and d the avatars were a little more mature. My sound isn't on, are these games free?

[SixAxisRumble]

I wonder if they will get this out before home?

[DangerousMali]

OMG UNO ONLINE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :shock:

[samven582]

I got a admit the new dashboard looks so much better then XMB

[Xaor]

Activation+Bizarre... = ???? lol

Geo Wars 2... another game I will NEVER be any good at :)

[the_End]

Man, this is s damn boring. Good job at ripping things off from Home to Mii to Coverflow. Waiting for the next rip-off :lol:.

[:mn:]

omg new dashboard looks wow

[Infinite Daremo]

100 : 1, winnning real prizes. Awesome, especially considering i hate that program lol

[Reevr]

I got a admit the new dashboard looks so much better then XMB

Not at all!!! It looks just as bad as the window's media center!

[dondidit]

is it me or are they trying the Xmb approach with the fall update? and the top 5 games they had in the beginning out of those 5 4 of those games are on the PS3 lol Lawd get it together.

[PS3GamerKyle]

"Portal: Still Alive" confirmed for Xbox 360..

They can have it.. I hate Valve.

[bravens52]

That Uno Kinds Looks Cool Though

[YoungMullah88]

am still dying laughing at the reaction of the audience! that was too funny...oh and it doesnt look like an option for those ripping on sony/HOME

anyways good for 360 owners who like customizing avatars, am sure they'll micro **** every one with buying extras

[Feli]

actually, I'm gonna go ahead and say that the game show thing is an interesting concept. up to users, devs, and MS to really fulfill its potential though.

the "Jump In" logo gets annoying.

[DangerousMali]

i wanted to see more info about south park game

[Capo Digi]

I have to say that new XBL stuff looks pretty impressive.

[Reevr]

That Uno Kinds Looks Cool Though

You don't have 3 friends that you can play uno with in real live

Also...
SSHD>Geometry Wars

Galaga Legions doesn't look bad though.

[SixAxisRumble]

Arcade games = meeehhhhhhhh

[PS3GamerKyle]

OMG! Microsoft just secured an exclusive deal w/ Netflix!

So I guess those rumors about netflix going to PSN aren't true!

[Xaor]

Does this new dashboard unleash multi-person chat???

[stylo1]

awwww.. portal is exclusive this year...

[R3D D3V!L]

omg new dashboard looks wow
No. It looks awful. They've ripped off Miis, the XMB and probably everything else. Typical Microsoft.

[Sonyfanboy-uk]

ZOMG Portal Still Alive *Faints*

[DangerousMali]

watching movies together now that is a neat feature and did they say netflix is exclusive

bummer

[Xaor]

"Portal: Still Alive" confirmed for Xbox 360..

They can have it.. I hate Valve.

Your loss, they aren't going to build it for the PS3 fans if they are just going to insult Valve :/

[Infinite Daremo]

Why was the South Park clip so short???????

[PS3GamerKyle]

watching movies together now that is a neat feature and did they say netflix is exclusive

bummer

yeah, it was an exclusive deal.

[DOGG]

Dude Netflix...now that's a steal for me. Here comes Shane.

[bravens52]

southpark videogame thats hilarious

[Zoibie]

yeah he needs the sack even his voice annoys me

Yeah I know, he is really annoying. Especially his arrogance!!

Portal WOO!! Although not too hyped for the dashboard...:?

[SixAxisRumble]

"Portal: Still Alive" confirmed for Xbox 360..

They can have it.. I hate Valve.

I think your in the wrong section troll

[the_End]

Banjo! The 2nd good thing to come out of this conference. Everything else has sucked balls.

[Reevr]

Lol... Shane's avatar looked like it was wankin off!

[C.Birch]

Incoming!!!! Newest lawsuit! Sony sues Microsoft for making a ****ty copy of the XMB!

I was thinking more of 360 owners sueing when it does not outsell the PS3 this gen after MS said they guarantee that they'll outsell the PS3 this gen.

[Agriel]

this is nothing but casual gamer stuff so far

[DangerousMali]

viva pinata possibly the campest game ever made :lol:

[bravens52]

wow netflix exclusive thats a blow for the ps3..the really need to counterstrike

[R3D D3V!L]

Shane Kim. Here we go lol. Let's see what he has to say :P

[Zoibie]

Have to admit, I think Sony is going to have their work cut out for them. Especially their movie service, Netflix wow!!1

[convulsion]

I'm watching G4 new Microsoft Interface announced with new chat community feature.

[C.Birch]

OMG thats a total rip of BUZZ now they habe done.

[Infinite Daremo]

How can a Microsoft press conference have not has an FPS yet? WHats going on?

[Feli]

banjo & kazooie looks good

[Cyb3rHav0k]

Yeah, that SceneIt game looks just like Buzz in a way.

[Reevr]

banjo & kazooie looks good

I disagree. I was actually a bit dissapointed by what they showed of it.

[Infinite Daremo]

Ughhh they ripped off that card game on PS3..... Thats a good idea for a Pokemon game though NINTENDO

[Bligmerk]

is it me or are they trying the Xmb approach with the fall update? and the top 5 games they had in the beginning out of those 5 4 of those games are on the PS3 lol Lawd get it together.

It looks like a XMB rip-off, kind of like XMB in layers, and that was after going on about how Blade was so superior and more accessible.

[greepoman]

Why does everyone make such a big deal if a console "rips off" features from a different console. Nothing is truly original anyway... and if it's a good feature, it's good for gaming as a whole for all the consoles to have it. People on these boards have been begging Sony to "rip off" XBL features so why is it such a big deal if MS "rips off" features from Wii & PS3?

Now if it's a bad rip-off then all bets are off ;)

[Zoibie]

Banjo = LBP rip-off??

Viva Pinata = EOJ rip-off??

[the_End]

WTF is this crap! Man, this really took a turn for the worst.

[DangerousMali]

the hillbilly swat the flies game had me lol'ing

[Sonyfanboy-uk]

Shane's avatar looks like hes backing one out HA HA

Because almost EVERYTHING that MS has announced in the past hour have been Sony Rip-Offs

[DangerousMali]

i dont wanna watch fat girls dancing, SHOW ME THE GAMES !!!!!!!!!!!!

[Xaor]

I was really wrong about all of that casual gamer stuff.. Oh wait... No I wasn't.. this is so damned weird.

[jeffo04]

Maybe, but don't forget Sony IS part of the movie industry not like Microsoft which really doesn't have anything to do with it...so them already being involved may allow them to bring in many other studios besides their own right off the bat....especially the studios that backed blu-ray from the start. It will be interesting tomorrow to hear what Sony says...so far my thoughts are mixed about Microsoft

[dondidit]

Ok I am over microsoft after seeing the eye knock off when is the wii and sony conference.

[Phaded]

??.. Why is there some big women dancing on the stage, my supposed to be impressed and buy the software by seeing this?.

They are also "ripping off" The Movies from Lionhead on the PC.

[convulsion]

The new partnerships just shows how desperate Microsoft is. ahahahahahahaha oh ,and Banjo ,and Pinata aahahahahahah. Can't wait until Sony wrecks through the whole place.

[Infinite Daremo]

I feel ****ed over as a hardcore gamer. Really ****ed over.

[dondidit]

Because almost EVERYTHING that MS has announced in the past hour have been Sony Rip-Offs

Thank you reevr I just didn't feel like saying anything towards his comment lol.

[R3D D3V!L]

We're in the movies = Eyetoy play ripoff?

[SixAxisRumble]

This looks ****ing ****, looks like PS2 crap!

[stylo1]

i am cringing so much at the movie thing...ughh...

[Feli]

eh. You're In The Movies. what crap.

at least they're doing something with their camera though. Sony hasn't paid attention to it in months. hopefully that changes tomorrow.

[LeisureSuitLarry]

I'm just watching and shaking my head. this is just sad.

[PS3GamerKyle]

We're in the movies = Eyetoy play ripoff?


I was thinking that.. IMO, it didn't even look fun.

[garyfitz]

This is hard to watch. Show me Alan Wake and ME2.

[Cyb3rHav0k]

Movie game.

That looks fun for all of five minutes.

[the_End]

WTF? I thought the 360 was for hardcore games. Well GH WT now.

"I'm here to talk to you about GUITAR HERO"
*Silence*
ROFL OMFG!!!! :lol:

[Xaor]

That was the saddest thing I've ever seen. By a very, very long way.
