dan_tm Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 Microsoft really have no idea who their customers are do they? I think they have a very good idea about the customers who buy most of their stuff, yeah. I don't think they realise that those kinds of people rarely watch these live events, mind. We're a different audience to the mainstream now, as far as I can tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pupponvesh 2 Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 Maybe I imagined this, but did they really announce Internet Explorer for Xbox? That's how bad it was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Down by Law Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 No Alan Wake 2. . . In fact no nothing any good. Looks like i'll be signing off the 360 with Max Payne 3 and calling it a day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meh Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 Resi 6 didn't even look impressive most of the time - and QTE waggle things? Fuck off! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comrade Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 I thought it was pretty good, bar all the Kinect stuff. I don't know why you're all moaning, what were you expecting? Anything actually new? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
df0 Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 About EA's conference, I really (REALLY!) hope they announce - after the massive success of the new SSX - SSX HD Collection. Furthermore I hope they announce Dante's Inferno 2 (or that other title the DI was is/was working on) and Shox 2. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh Danny Boy Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 not even a hint of next gen. It looks like the Wii U will have the market for itself for a couple of years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdn2 Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 How many Halo games have there been for the 360 alone this gen? 6? (3, Wars, ODST, Reach, Anniversary and now 4) And people complain about Nintendo milking their franchises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bag Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 Give me South Park and Splinter Cell, can't make myself care about the others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qazimod Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 God that was dire. Tomb Raider looked good, and perhaps Resi although I rarely get on with Resi games, but I tuned in late and thought I was on the wrong stream when I saw them talking about ESPN and crap. Far too much fitness-lifestyle-movie-music-sports rubbish and not enough games.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roboplegic Wrongcock Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 I think they have a very good idea about the customers who buy most of their stuff, yeah. I don't think they realise that those kinds of people rarely watch these live events, mind. We're a different audience to the mainstream now, as far as I can tell. But that's the thing all these E3 clips will filter through to them. All this stuff will play very well with mainstream news content providers. Didn't MS have the conference being screened live in times square as well? 'We' will buy the games regardless as were already following that's why us taking these shows so seriously is just silly. MS showed more than enough to get the 2 games a year crowd wet and willing. It's a twisted sort of nonsense that has people expecting some megaton ater megaton show this late in the generation with new machines due to be revealed I'd say by the end of the year, that was never going to be a reality. My only annoyance is they have tons of XBLA titles that didn't get an airing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan_tm Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 not even a hint of next gen. It looks like the Wii U will have the market for itself for a couple of years Interesting point, seeing as (as far as I know) the U will only be bringing Nintendo pretty much level, technology wise, with the PS3 and 360... I wonder what Nintendo's move will be when/if Microsoft and Sony both release new higher-powered consoles in the next 18-24 months, will Nintendo be dropped from the console race, so to speak?

Fuddle Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 when watching a movie, what i've always wanted to do is read about the actors at the same time. thanks smart glass. very boring. no big cock ups to laugh at, no megatons dropped. dull. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orion Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 I liked how the conference seemed to imply that we all must own a tablet device and an Android by now. Positives were the South Park guys taking the piss, which got the best reaction of the show. Plus for me anyway, the NBA Game Pass being on Xbox 360 but I bet thats a US exclusive. Negatives were the fact this has to be the worst year for showing new games. I know its got more and more stale lately but fucking hell Microsoft.

Halo Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 Having thought about it, the weirdest thing about the conference is just how little they showed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 Anything actually new? What? Have you played all those games on show?To be honest, I don't really keep up with gaming any more, so it was all new to me, and everything they showed looked pretty good.

Ferine Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 I think they showed a lot of good stuff, even if a fair chunk of it isn't relevant to me personally. SmartGlass is potentially a big deal, although it really depends on whether developers make use of it. The show's main issue was that it had zero personality. It was used-car-salesman-slick, but the type of people that make time to watch a conference on the internet are only going to buck at that. I'm interested in almost all the games they showed, but most of them are multi-platform and they chose to demo very similar roller-coaster moments: I know there's more to those games, but all we saw was the same trailer-bait material making everything blur together. Also, timed exclusive DLC is just annoying. At least with proper exclusives something that otherwise wouldn't have existed is getting made; these "exclusively first" deals have no benefit for the user.

wretcherd Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 There wasn't even a montage of games ffs. That's how bad it was. Yeah, especially a Live Arcade montage, which has been a staple of these things the past few years. No mention of Summer of Arcade at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roboplegic Wrongcock Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 We are likely to get more information over the coming days from the show floor, right? No doubt. I really want to see more on Dust:An Elysian Tail and Deadlight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
