The 'Milo' demo was very good. Lionhead are going to show it behind closed doors, will look forward to what those people have to say about it.

[edit]There was a gameplay demo, nothing really uber about it but it did look good

Well, nothing really Megaton in terms of game announcements (though Crackdown 2 is awesome news imo - no dates or anything though), but that camera was better than I was expecting. Just have to see what they do with it.

The general lineup was excellent though I have to say. Plenty to chew on!

I'll keep an eye on gametrailers later and see what comes appears.

I haven't watched anything yet but plan to later. It seems a bit underwhelming tbh :/
They named 7 sequels, a MGS game and a Halo game, and Alan Wake.
I'm not saying sequels are bad, I enjoyed Crackdown and Left 4 Dead, and loved CoD4. But it just seemed a bit predictable and unexciting.

I'm not overly fussed about social networking stuff on my 360, only the games.

L4D2 is November 17th

Quote:

In conjunction with the Microsoft press conference unveiling, Valve has provided additional Left 4 Dead details. First, the new melee combat options. We saw the chainsaw teased in the trailer, but players will also be able to wield a frying pan, axe, baseball bat, and additional blunt-force objects. Valve has also detailed the new AI Director 2.0, which will not only affect how many of the undead you'll be tackling at any given time, but will also dictate weather effects, world objects, and pathways provided to the players.

Sounds like fun!

The EA conference starts in 20 mins. I'd expect some Mass Effect lovin' for all you normandy junkies, see the op for a link to the live feed.

I thought it was generally a bit meh tbh. Alan Wake and Forza 3 both looked fantastic, but that's just it, i knew they'd be fantastic. It was nearly all sequels, all the sequels to games that interested me looked great, all those of games i didn't care about looked meh. There wasn't anything new to experience, no surprises.

The eyetoy thingy looked better than the Wii, but i've lost interest in that type of game interaction, the Wii has shown that the software just can't be advanced enough to deal with all the interactions you would want. That wierd kid app also looked scripted, as in, his behaviour was scripted with certain key moments where the user was prompted to interact. Time will tell with that one but given Peters previous reputation for exaggerating his products to hell and back before release i'm leaning towards it being nowhere near as good as he promises.

It certainly wasn't last years conference was it (FFXIII, GoW2, NXE, Netflix). The camera was a great tech demo but does the market want/need it? Need to see the games.

My mate's company is doing Crackdown 2

He's had to keep it under wraps for ages but they are made up now it'd been announced

It's massively multiplayer focused.

Daz · 01-06-2009, 22:32

He's definitely got one interested party here
