Microsoft Press Conference @E3 2011 - my thoughts

Just a quick video I slapped together to quickly tell how I felt about the Microsoft Press Conference at E3 2011. I know it's just a picture, but I just wanted to get it out there and not waste time on editing and what not, plus it's easier for me to talk like this then set up the camera.

Share your thoughts too! What did you think about Microsoft's show?

I still don't own a Kinect and probably will not get one soon as my game-room is too small for it to work properly.

@markvergeer The usage space for the thing is pretty big indeed. I don't have one either, and so far have no intention of getting one. I must say, that Ryse demo did look interesting at least.

@amsvip You and me both :)

@HalfBlindGamer What about their own Original Xbox exclusives? There are quite a few exclusives that can be brought back onto the 360. A couple that spring to mind are Bloodwake, Bruteforce and Gun Metal.

@XarboyMkII

I think the Dance Dance Revolution series and its clones disagrees with you. =P

Personally, I'm only interested in consoles when it comes to platformers. Everything else I have my PC for.

I absolutely love the stuff people have done with Kinect on a capable system (PC) and what will come in the future. Sure the Wiimote was nice and all, but it's amounts to just about nothing in comparison to Kinect. A drop in the ocean: ?v=8nlk6HhDpDw

@zebure Yeah, if they can make it like that, it would actually be pretty interesting. They also said something about scanning in a car, which you could then drive in the game, that would be neat too.

@NeoHazuki1 Amen to that :)

[HalfBlindGamer]

@Edgefox88 No kidding, they buy a awesome developer, to let them go to waste :(

@jurassicjunkie I found it so weird that they would put a Sesame Street game on stage like that. I mean, it's great that they make a game like that, don't get me wrong. It's also interesting to see that you can have a grown up play alongside a child, that's pretty cool... but a 10 minute demo? Just feels really out of place haha.

Skyrim looks amazing indeed! Gameplay wise it also looks solid.
