Microsoft hit it out of the loving park with their presentation. Kamiya being there was icing on the cake. It's loving over for Sony if they don't have something equally epic as that.

I don't think they knocked it out of the park but they played a solid game. Nothing there that I felt insulted by.

Basically this should be the 'par' that all GOOD press conferences should shoot for.

Barely any actual gameplay, so many third person cover based shooters, Conker gets hosed over again, and a surprising amount of HD remakes instead of new games. Great conference, Microsoft :smug:

Yeah that was the only lame part. Wasn't helped by his animation being a bit wonky. But it didn't really ruin anything.

The sad thing is it was still better than at least the last few MS E3 conferences

Not even close to a great or good normal 90 minutes, but for MS? After last year? Sadly, it probably is. That's how hosed they are.

I ended up liking that conference by the end, though it started out mostly meh. Nice to see some actual exclusives and evidence of 1080p, but at the same time, it would have also been nice if more had actual gameplay to go along with the prerendered trailers. I swear their indie footage was mostly taken from videos the devs had already released themselves - recognised the Mighty No 9 stuff pretty easily. Still, definitely an improvement over last year's, not that such would be difficult.

Nobody should be happy to see exclusives. Whatever company has them, they're basically kicking the consumer in the balls to better compete with each other. We're so used to it by now that it's easy to forget what a breathtakingly awful idea exclusivity is, unless the team can only develop for one console or whatever.

Supposedly they're putting Conker assets into Project Spark. But honestly though, is anyone "upset" about that? It's not like Bad Fur Day was really that great a game, it was kind of lovely even by 2000-2001 standards. You probably only remember it because "whoa, naughty language and nudity in a video game? this is blowing my teenage mind!"

Considering what they had to work with, it was pretty good. I have no interest in 99% of what was shown and will never buy the console, but if you had watched that presentation with no/little prior knowledge about the state of the Bone, you would probably come away thinking it was in good shape.

I don't get this. Everything coming out anytime soon had gameplay shown. Of course Kamiya's Magic Dino Ride isn't ready to be played. Last year Sunset Whatever was CGI, and this year it had gameplay. Because they like, created it, and poo poo.
