Excellent job. Very good. It would have been chaos without you.

low rez up

 

[MultiVaC]

All I care about here is Crysis. About what time does it come on?

 

[VirusType2]

I can't believe how ****ing awesome Gears of War looks. The most amazing game I have ever seen.

 

[MultiVaC]

Yeah, I know it's up but I don't really care about all the 360 exclusives, so I want to know what time I can skip to to see Crysis, which seems to be the only PC game there.

 

[VirusType2]

Go here and click live link low rez. You will have to watch the entire thing I guess. It's not live anymore, you missed it. So to see crysis click on the microsoft live feed low rez and .. not sure if you can fast forward to crysis, but it won't hurt to know what Microsoft is up to by watching the whole thing if you have to.

low rez up

Holy ****ing shit Gears of War is my new favorite game ever. LOL

 

[Dalamari]

Gears of War looks AMAMZING!

Microsoft wins at press events

 

[DeusExMachina]

Yeah Gears of War is pretty bitchin'.

 

[Javert]

Hmm, GTA IV is episodic. Are they going to divide the campaign, cities?

 

[DeusExMachina]

No, just new content. Probably like clothes, towns, cars, etc.

 

[Gorgon]

Hmm, GTA IV is episodic. Are they going to divide the campaign, cities?

no, its going to be a full game. After a while, they are going to release new updates to it such as new mods, new missions, new cars....etc

 

[weskerQ8]

the only game thats makes me want to buy xbox 360 to everyone in the world is HALO 3

 

[Mr. Redundant]

Hmm, GTA IV is episodic. Are they going to divide the campaign, cities?

GTA4 is not episodic, there will be episodic content exclusively for xbox360 on xbl.

gears of war is freaking awesome looking.

 

[DeusExMachina]

Crysis is looking hot as hell too.

 

[lePobz]

Forza 2 ... YAY!!!!

GTA4 ... YAY AGAIN!!!!

If i'm not mistaken, gears of war uses the UE3 ... and it doesnt half use it well.

 

[Dalamari]

Forza 2 ... YAY!!!!

When I saw that little trailer they showed, I made up my mind about buying a 360, I've raced for so many hours in the first one that I HAVE to play the 2nd one

 

[VirusType2]

In case you have dial-up and couldn't watch the Microsoft e3 press conference, or want to know what I thought:


My brain is overloaded with good news. I watched the entire e3 press conference, and I walk away more amazed than when walking out of the movie theater after seeing an incredible movie.

Every single game shown looked fantastic, every single feature was wanted and welcome

The Microsoft franchise games are really taking stride and have completely surpassed rivals.

Etc., etc., etc.. Blown away.

There were about 15 games that I want shown there, and that is 15 more than what Sony has to offer. I have never seen so many games I want all at the same time in my life-time. I am the type of guy to buy one or two games per year, and I make them count. There is just never any games that appeal to me. Not this time - not with Microsoft.


Forza Motorsport 2 is tremendously better than its Xbox counterpart which was critically acclaimed. 300 Cars that take realistic damage, body kits, vinyl sticker kits for cars that you can customize on Windows PC's paint shop or the in-game paint shop, whichever you do better with. I want this game big time. The cars looked so hot. On-line with up to 11 players.

I can only Imagine playing Grand Theft Auto IV now that it will feature awesome shader, shadow, particle, and physics effects. This game is going to be a must-have. Stolen cars flipping and burning with realistic physics and particles? Sold!

While only a pre-rendered trailer of the game, Fable 2 seemed like it was going to be ****ing incredible. I know that they will take this great game series and turn it into an exceptional game that corrects the short game length and the other gripes. The trailer looked nothing short of ****ing inspired, inspiring, and just plain impressive as hell. When it ever comes out, this will be a must-have game I can assure you

Alan Wake = Wow, I must buy this game.

Gears of War = The ultimate game and I will stop at nothing to own it.

EA sports; yes, it's in the game.

Oblivion = Must have this game for the 360 as well.

Resident Evil 5 didn't have a trailer for this years E3, but that is OK, they are probably keeping this game under tight wraps for now. Must have this, there is no way this game won't own your momma.

While not shown, I am seriously looking forward to Collin McRae Rally 2007, and this is a system seller for me, like all of the others listed here.

Halo 3 should be good and worth buying.

While not based on anything but speculation, I can't imagine Crysis not showing up on the 360. It just wouldn't make sense not to. This game looks superb.

There were more games that looked awesome but don't know the names of them, and I'm exhausted and need to rest. So much information.



The Arcade is one great feature and I can't wait to play some of those games like Galaga, or Street Fighter 2 Alpha (on-line) against Warbie or someone.

I feel like a kid when I thinking about buying a 360. I couldn't possibly be more impressed. I wait patiently for the price to come down (I'm stubborn) and then it will be mine. These games look incredibly fun.

160 xbox360 games to choose from, in stores for the holidays this year.

To be honest, the 360 'had me at hello', when the Gears of War game-play demo started off the whole thing. HOLY SHIT.



GG.

[X-FacToR]

Whatever you do, don't downplay Crysis untill you play it.

 

[TCfromBN]

Never thought I'd be saying this... but M$ FTW.

 

[Dog--]

Why does everyone love Gears of War so much? It looks like another average shooter with hyped up graphics.... jeez!

 

[Parlez]

*Holds heart and drops over dead*

That was awesome how they can take cover like that! This whole game looks like it is high quality.

 

[Quixoticism]

It's not a shooter. It's a cover game with awesome graphics and looks like it will have killer gameplay(not excited about the ammo minigame though), storyline, and some horror levels that would make ravenholm wet itself(though to be honest, it wasn't that scary for me).

And saving the best for last:
Co-op!
:cheers:

 

[cadaver]

OMG gears of war!!! going to buy a xbox 360 just to play that game. whoa

 

[destrukt]

if you can call gears of war an average shooter, i reserve the right to do the same for half life 2.

anyone have a [good] link for the conference ? i've downloaded it TWICE from ign [around 320mb] and while it does the full download, i can only watch 39mins 16secs of it .. so the last thing i get to see is the viva pinata preview, just before they show off their 'third driving force.'

gamespot has a lower quality version @ 120mb but they're being overloaded and the fastest i can get is like 7kb/s.

I just clicked on the gamespot 'live' feed low resolution I was getting about 150 kb/s and it played the whole thing (about 120 minutes) without a hitch.

[DEATHMASTER]

I'll take you up on that :E

 

[Javert]

Gears should have been a launch title, not PDZ. The fact that Call of Duty and Oblivion (both also PC titles) outsold PDZ shows that they should have waited for a stronger exclusive title.

Like this one. I'm not a MS/XBox360 fan, I rather abhor it. Both Gears of Wars looks fun if they can control the choppy framerate (the SOFTWARE's responsibility).

You think they should have waited until this holiday season to release the Xbox 360 in order to wait until Gears of War was finished? Lol that's ridiculous. Am I reading this right? That makes no sense whatsoever, and it's a good thing you aren't in charge. "You go to the war with the army you have, not the one you wish you had"

PerfectDarkZero was out-sold because Oblivion and Call of Duty are two of the most popular games of this time, and PDZ is based on little known underground hit from years past, Perfect Dark - N64.


As for the frame-rate, it was smooth as butter, except for a couple of occasions when it looked to lose a few frames, and it doesn't effect the game-play since it occurred when the enemy was exploding into a pile of body parts and not when you are aiming or something. I think it will be fixed anyway, since the game still has plenty of time to shape-up. TBH, I'm not even sure it was a loss of frame-rate rather than the way they animated this.

The multi-player co-op of GoW was incredible, and I can't wait to play it.
