Microsoft E3 2008 Conference Highlights

[sgtchief]

Dude your stupid

[ds9roa]

come on man your reviews are all too negative

[theshadowfan]

Well Microsoft struck back with a vengeance at E3 09. They blew me away.

[360Fliip]

Wireless? IT'S CONTROLLERLESS YOU JEW!

[thePEOPLEperson1]

he is talking about the microphone

[Z00MERx]

i dont care about that game LMAO

[8Dgman]

i like the new dashboard.

[qwertyqwertybob]

When will people realise that 99% of attempts at a 'web 2.0 interface' are totally retarded?

Wish I could keep the old one - the new one looks really dull. No style to it, and the flat edges on the preview windows look crap. It's like someone at Microsoft saw the iTunes Cover Flow and just fucking went for it.

[Kracg999]

The avatars are a rip off of mii's though. Maybe if they have an actual use they'll be ok.

[skillz1dat1killz]

man think of all the money we aster oon buying themes and gamer pictures

[khy00khy]

360 is almost dead so much boring news but the PS3 is still fresh and the Wii is still struggling a little with games but not hardware

[LilxE07]

lol this guy looks like a gay

[elmalhermano]

you forgot to mention gears of war, and you just need to spend 5 minutes with the 360 dashboard and you dont get lost ever again

[yadda101]

If you get lost on the old xbox 360 dashboard, you're an absolute fucktard

[Gettinghitonattheban]

Box - "a (usually rectangular) container; may have a lid"

Station - "a facility equipped with special

equipment and personnel for a particular purpose"

YAY!! A LID!

[leokasper7107]

Final fantasy 13?

come on! let it DIEEEE!!

And btw, guy in the video, you are so wrong about 99.9% of the subjects in this video.

[XxbloodhungryxX]

your just hating cuz ps3 doesnt have this...360 all tha wat

[jackylegs5]

yay i like ps2

jokin aside why the hell dont xbox tell us more about gears of war 2 i need info i need info.

does anyone else's 360 sometimes spit out games when ur playing them for no reason

its the only reason why i aint on me 360 at the moment.

i keep havin to play mario kart wii on the wii[which is ok but i wna play pro evo, gears, and bejing 08]

[sn00piedog]

Um you just did something to your 360 or you dont have one.

[protomanXXXX]

360 is the beat

[cranked333]

[Greatwhite044]

I will sell mys freak ps3 and buy a xbox 360

[xredxbreadx]

ur a dork

[heatblade11]

1.the new dashboard sucks.

2.coping the ps3 with the cam party games and singing games.

3. avatars are coping wii and ps3 home.

listen folks what im trying to say is. XBOX SUCKS EGGS.

[MASTERHAVOCX]

XBOX IS AWSOME YOU SUCK EGGS

[BobbysVids]

ps3 sucks ass

[Maltadrummer]

yeah ps3 all the way

[TheDevCamExperience]

first it's to copy the ipod,

then it's trying the wii.

hmmm...I see a pattern here with microsoft's superiors, folks.

[yugiohcardmaster720]

What did MS have, Gears 2, Fable 2, FF13, and Netflix? Now what did Sony have, 20 new exclusives including R&C:QFB, Ragdoll Kungfoo, God of War 3, LocoRoco 2, Patapon 2, MAG, Resistance: Retribution, Fat Princess, Crash Commando, and many more. They also said that Ps3 would be getting 350 new titles from their publishing partners this fiscal year.

[SmugDarkLoser]

what? why are you downplaying ff? at all?

yea, that's exactly what i, and most people, wanted.

[fathergregory]

you were happy about avatars? it's not clear if you did or not.

[theshadowfan]

It's nothing special. I can't say that I was mad about it though.

[cyberdemon107]

how the hell did you forget gears of war 2?

[theshadowfan]

I didn't forget it. I'm not a big fan of the series.

[Amcacs5654]

Your not fan of Gears of War? Go play PS3.

[lukejarmain]

how will we get new dash download it of xbox live

[theshadowfan]

It arrives this Fall as a download

[lukejarmain]

is the download free or will we have 2 pay wiv points

[theshadowfan]

It's free. I'd imagine that Microsoft wants everyone to update.

[gaskan94]

its mandatory so yeah, you have to update in order to play live basicly. you dont download, you dont play live.

[jimmyjobob009]

The new dash looks like shit!!!!!!! XO

[NoSemos]

get A life dude :P lolo

[Knife99]

lol

another 'final fantasy' game...sigh*

i disagree, umm... that BLEW ME AWAY!!! i cried haha

[TheShowGuy]

lol idk i really dont care about that game ....

[BLESSMAN11]

the dashboard was good apart from the shitty avatars

[vinniram]

the sun is very bright and sometimes if you stare at it you get sunspots.

[glockmaniac]

OMG. How could someone hate a 360 enough to be a complete narrow minded fanboy and insult other people based on what they use for entertainment?

watch?v=siwsqb9Twx8

[Cavs75]

i was on vacation this last week wit no tv so i didnt get to watch E3 on G4...did they show mirrors edge at all or legendary the box gameplay?

[theshadowfan]

I know they talked about Mirror's Edge.

[shockwavexb360]

cocaine

[SiliconPS3Knights]

You americarnah shut your mouth and gag! you fucking annoying texas canadian cunt! god your voice is so dragged out and fucked! FUCK YOU AMERICAN CUNT! GET HEART DISEASE AND DIE!

[widehalk]

wow spas much maybe you should get a life instead of wasting your time typing such a long comment you FUCK!!!!

[frumpyd519]

jesus chill out you foreign fuck your fuckin annoying cuz your a dumbass

[lokenovez]

dam man kick it what the fucks wrong with you

[frumpyd519]

none of your fucking business why dont you read previous comments dickhead

[vinniram]

woohoo! lol

[vinniram]

oh my god who the hell do you think you are you idiotic piece of @#$#!!!!! you americans think you're so much better than others (ie Japan) and you really annoy me with features such as your face and especially your ratty, annoying know-it-all voice. just shut up and crawl into a little hole and just be quiet. thank you very much for listening, and I hope you have a good day. shut up!

[frumpyd519]

what the fuck is your problem

[gitarakuru19]

bandjo!!!!!!! i remember that game

[marineuC]

man PS3 fans hate sooo much. the reason is they're tryin to justify their purchase by sayin the compeitor sucks.

well the truth is all our games run at a higher Frames per second. even multiplatformers. its funny, we run games better at 60 FPS like madden then PS3 does at 30 FPS.

why dont u guys get online and play team fortress.. ohh wait its unplayable on PS3 wahhhhh..

lol all sony does is copy.

XMB, trophys, online, downloadable tv and movies. your a copy so your xbox .5 lol

[BowToWard86]

Totally ripped off the Eye Toy but w/e. Ripped off the miis but I dont like ninty so rip away. Creativity wont hurt you microsoft.

T_T

[fataldesain]

Are you hear to tell us about e3 or your stupid fucking opinion. Stupid Turd

[protomanXXXX]

u dont like 360 much do u

[theshadowfan]

Thus far it has been the best next gen system.

[skillzthatkillz369]

WoW how creative is that MAG...The Massive Action Game lol

[MaxxxPoweRRR]

Jesus, are u guys still arguing about "whats the better system"...tsssss....get a life!

And that guy is pretty ignant!

Right there was nothing really new, but finally seeing FC2 and GoW2 as well as RE5 and Fallout3, was really nice.

Besides that I also dont need another FinalFantasy...hell I didnt play 1 part....but its nice as its a ruff kick into sonys nuts to have that!!

My picks are "FarCry2 & Gears2"!

[9millimeter123]

there should be more people like you

[Gergoth]

Fallout 3, Gears 2, fable 2, and FF XII

[DNIELLLL]

Your Old Stuff...

...will still work in the new interface. The gamerpics and themes you downloaded will work with NXE. And while we didn't get to see it in action, Marc Whitten swears they look "beautiful" on the new interface.

[Guernicaman]

BTW, maybe you just don't care, but Final Fantasy XIII on 360 is HUGE. That is the megaton of the entire show. The main series has been exclusive to the Playstation brand since what seems like forever. Not anymore. And you should reconize how big of a deal this is. It's SUCH a big of a deal that Sony fanboys are signing petitions to cancel the 360 version so that it remains a Playstation exclusive. If not, they're threatening to boycott the game on PS3.

[DevilTrito]

And to do that is an ignorant move, considering it won't put more than a tiny dent in Sony's proffits. Sony Fanboys are ignorant slimebags who need to grow up... though they did have the best conferance in my view.. I might get a PS3 or a 360, both have some pretty awesome games comming out, but Metal Gear's got my attention more than anything.

My top pics are Fallout 3, GoW2, and RE5.

[Guernicaman]

How could you not mention Gears of War 2 and that amazing on-stage demo they showed?

[IvanSorath]

damn man you get lost ? using the dashboard :D you are beyond retarded

[Iwannaplayssbb]

the avatar idea was stolen from nintendo....... whats the best way to destroy the enemy,well steal from it,however im happy to see all those fresh games,specialy banjo kazooi,i loved those games back in my childhood

[Ghostrecon989]

We better get cool avatars not miis. For say, maybe soldiers? Customizable soldiers for avatars? Racers? Animals?

[thechamp258]

i liked your picks bk:nb fallout 3 and re5

[xxzachlxx]

fallout 3 is coming out for the ps3 too.

[Mataazo]

WOW the avatar system is going to be the s%^@

but i swear i saw some place else i just cant think of it(NINTENDO MIIS for the people who cant guess or doesnt have a wii or are douches and say microsoft steal take that idea)

[Mataazo]

lol

[xxzachlxx]

now it's time to bow down to sony! BOW FOOLS BOW! nah jk but i willlll be enjoying 256 PLAYER ONLINE GAMES! that is never heard of and is exclusive to ps3 AND is only possible on the ps3. oh we got the whole movie download thing too, AND GUESS WHAT! we get it the same night they announce it! man no offense but sony seriously blew you guys outa the dam water.

[BiohazardXKR]

actualy wer kinda gettin that two just not like you guys. For Example End War and uh it is possible on the 360

[MindfreakCM]

And the next Xbox will do the same thing retard

[fashizzle316]

I worked my ass off to get thet seriously picture and now they're like avatars are better. Fuck this shit!!!!

[theshadowfan]

What are you talking about?

[xxzachlxx]

MAG, it stands for Massive Action Game. it supports 256 player online games. all on 1 battlefield.

[Aboxofcrayons]

honestly i think it's a bad move by microsoft they shud have put more planning into it but who knows it cud actually be good i mean none of us have actually used this hands on. it cud suprise us.

[flamebait07]

Anyone who cares more about having a generic, ugly avatar than having a functional interface already owns a Wii, so I don't know what Microsoft is thinking. The new interface looks terrible, and the avatars look worse. Ugh.

Depending on how it's implemented, the Netflix thing sounds cool, I must admit.

[keikoandgilly]

Avatars replacing the game pictures and themes...I sense trouble ahead.

[xcheckmatey]

ahh sony losing money..

[favdoc5]

Check out nintendos Wii Motion Plus and tell me they don't OWN this years E3.

[chillmasterjonny]

ya have you watched it? It sucked ASSSSSSS

[marvinluigi]

And by the way nintendo did not invent avatars they just took them and called them mii's

[maccollo]

If they did they would have been sued by Nintendo before they knew it.

[marvinluigi]

You idiot microsofts conference blew me away I mean come on co-op in resident evil 5 and fallout 3, fable 2, gears 2 even unveiled a new awesome game mode. So all I have to say is do your research before you upload a video that you know will cause arguements you idiot.

[afrobeatsam]

ok, avatars are kind of a ripoff of mii's but that netflix, rock band 2, gears of war 2, fallout 3,resident evil 5 and FFXIII announcements are so huge, I want to see how sony and nintendo are going to respond to this. Microsoft has made it's move.Let's tune in tomorrow to see what's up

[theshadowfan]

But the thing is that those aren't really announcements excluding FXIII. The rest of the games were already announced earlier in the year. Exciting games nonetheless!

[Mahewston]

Agree about FFXIIIIIIIIIII and avatars. Nothing was very interesting for me, but I'm not a 360 owner so maybe that's why.

[DuelinginRS]

Avatar system?

You mean Miis, right?

[theshadowfan]

Har har! ;)

They're "different."

[bob101910]

there is a new uno game and a new portal game for the arcade that will probably be big.

[theshadowfan]

People in the audience definitely flipped out when Portal came on! ;)

[SecularMessiah]

Microsoft did nothing this year... fail. For exclusives they got Gears 2 and... a Banjo game that looks like it's going to suck.

So that means they are pretty much hanging their hat on Gears 2.

[theshadowfan]

Fallout 3 looks amusing. Banjo will probably suck with its emphasis on kart control rather than bear platformer.

[SecularMessiah]

True Fallout 3 looks amazing but I was talking exclusives. (Fallout coming to PS3 and PC)

Yeah everyone wanted a new Banjo wanted a platformer like the 64 ones.

Seems like Sony still has the line up to beat (exclusive wise) despite losing FFXIII to be a multiplatform title. This year I think they have a chance to make up for "599 US Dollars" "Riiiiiiidge Racer" and "Giant Enemy Crabs"

Wont surprise me though if Nintendo come and just shock everybody. They have saved all their cards for this

[sirkeenalot]

Wow so far from what I have been seeing on youtube most people/videos covering the e3 microsoft conference totally make it less cool than it actually is.Watch the actual conference in whole is all I have to say..and yes,the avatars are much cooler than they are appearing to be now,much better than the gay bubbly Miis,and actually integrated into Xbox Live whereas you could bring in a party of your friends and dispatch tv show games like deal or no deal..show them your videos,all this cool stuff.

[zoo92zoo]

GOOOO PS3

[xcheckmatey]

i perosnnaly liek it more

[WhyWouldIStop]

P.P.S. Talk more about Fable II.

[theshadowfan]

They didn't reveal much about Fable II. It's done. That's what Peter Molyneux said.

[WhyWouldIStop]

Hey Hey! Don't bag on Final Fantasy!

It's amazing that there will be a Final Fantasy on a console that doesn't cost as much as a small island.

P.S. Netflix + Xbox? = Amazing.

[xcheckmatey]

ahh ps3 is only $400...

[WhyWouldIStop]

It's $400 for the basic package.

Amazingly overpriced.

I'm surprised that Sony's head wasn't too big for them to drop the price in the first place.

[Antiantic]

give it a break, the focused more on Family games this year, mabye thats from the sucess of the wii?

[DemonBowser]

yeah but the Wii is the one for all people xbox is for adults and teens and 10yr olds i mean comeon

[ETWJ117]

Um... all the parents I've seen are confused with the concept of a controller. Of course

they find the dashboard confusing - they

find almost everything videogame-related

confusing.

[theshadowfan]

Not all parents are like that. Think about all the adults and parents that develop video games. They get it. Anyone can as long as they try. I really hate it when people simply put down something because they don't understand it within the first 5 seconds.

[subata45]

well home has the characters not looking like the mii so its not like avatars or miis.

[ETWJ117]

the current dashboard is MUCH better than the looks of this one. Why fix something that ain't broken? Hopefully *sigh* it's still easy to navigate.

[theshadowfan]

It looked really easy to navigate. I honestly think that Microsoft knew it had to update the dashboard to make it easier to navigate for casual gamers. I've had the experience of trying to explain the dashboard to parents and they're always confused.

[ballkirby1]

I'm a huge nintendo fan but I hate to admit now theXbox 360 now looks better than the wii. *sob* :(

[theshadowfan]

I'm pretty shocked by it too. The Wii is way too dumbed down for hardcore gamers. Also its controls simply suck. I like the controller itself, but it barely responds to my movements when I'm playing from my couch. I hope the new adapter fixes that problem.

[Blahblahblah3210]

Nintendo's releasing a new peripheral add-on to the Wiimote that allows for 1:1 movement.

Don't count Nintendo out just yet; they always have stuff up their sleeves...

[theshadowfan]

I definitely am not counting Nintendo out. Last year they showed off Wii Fit, the year before that the Wii itself. Awesome stuff!

I just hope the Wiimote addon actually works and solves my problem!

[subata45]

don't be down. microsoft is able to be sued now that they are going to have avatars a copy of miis.

[xcheckmatey]

lol

[DemonBowser]

yup they touhgh the MII's and other ideas from nintendo and the people from squre enix dropped sony i was pissed i mean sony and Enix has been working to gether for awhile and they droped them if i was nitendo and sony i would team up and make a new system

[theshadowfan]

So what's Sony's Home? It's all the same thing. Microsoft can't be sued for this.
