Comments on: Microsoft E3 2009 press conference: The games

Rounding up the video game announcements and lineup from the Microsoft E3 2009 press conference.

woooo more halo... >.>

Wow more Halo. How exciting! *Sarcasm* What's next Gears of War 3? Microsoft is just too predictable.

In my opinion Microsoft's line up is mediocre to the last 2 years. I'm more into the PS3 this year just because I think it's coming out with some pretty sweet software like Uncharted 2, and God of War 3. And a slim PS3 can't hurt. Sony's under the spotlight again, and I hope they live up to the hype unlike last year, because that would be REALLY cool. Oh yeah, a price of $299 won't do anything but boost sales. I like the PS3 as a All-in-one media hub, so I really hope they don't take out some luxury features like WiFi.

you forgot M.A.G and Heavy Rain :)

PS3 fanboys stalking xbox articles. Some people love to hate. And hate on halo all you want but you think it would make sense to abandon an amazing franchise that is fun for fans and sells like crazy? Yeah...

Also, mediocre lineup?? Halo ODST and Reach, Forza 3, Alan Wake, Mass Effect 2, Splinter Cell Conviction (another awesome franchise that was started on xbox), Left for Dead 2, Crackdown 2, FF13, and METAL GEAR SOLID: RISING!!! Not too bad if I do say so myself. When is GT5 coming out again?

Sony's E3 is gonna be full of games that have already been talked about all year and oh yeah.... an Amazing PSP GO............YEEEAAAHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

MS had an amazing E3 with everything from games to the revolutionary "Project Natal" which Steven Spielberg himself called "a historic moment in gaming." And the fact that MS will be streaming in 1080p soon and possibly going 100% digital for games. I'm definitely excited about the next year for the Xbox. I think MS picked up major steam this E3 and truly has the best console of this generation.

[kewell82]

The one thing they don't tell you about the 1080p streaming is that you need a true fiber optic connection. So you need to live in a major city that support true fiber optics going to your home and it will cost a lot.

[DrtyDogg]

I have Fiber to the home and it really doesn't cost that much.

Man some of these games look tight I was lookin at the new star wars game is it only goin to be on the pc or is it goin to come out for the xbox like the did for Knights of the Old Republic, also the new perspective for L4D2 is interesting since its in New Orleans LOL it would be funny if they decided to do another one in Houston or Miami since they are major city neighbors to New Orleans(that would be funny relaxing while burying zombies in the ocean or the sand and letting the animals eat them lol or letting them fall in the acid of the abandoned chemical plants HAHAHAHA, thats good stuff just sit back and enjoy watching zombies melt to death) wonder why they didn't do GH5 its comin out in a couple of months with a new feature that allows u to use like for example 2 drum sets, or play 2 guitar solos, u know stuff like that, ooo they should do one with Disturbed sorry if I said too much lol just excited for new games, and why did they put WIFI on the Zune HD and not the 360, man I could do this all day WAHHOOO!!! Schools almost out 4 summer, and lets hope that ODST would learn how to do something like Horde for Gears 2 or Nazi Zombies from COD:WAW

What's next for Sony, umm God of War 3 and Gran turismo 5, Sony is so predictable. See I can do it too. I enjoy both consoles, but have always preferred the 360 for gaming. Xbox live has and always will smoke the PSN, and the games library is great. This is definitely the best E3 MS has ever had, and I don't think Sony is going to show anything tomorrow that will surprise anyone. Oh look, GT5, you know that game we've been showing since they day the console launched, yeah that might actually be coming sometime next year :) At the rate Microsoft is going, I wouldn't be surprised if the next GT title is a 360 exclusive. The only thing that would excite me is if Sony reveals a PS3 slim that includes backwards compatibility and retails at $299. Other than that the new PSP is lame(come on this is a 4th generation product, and they still won't include 2 analog sticks), GOW 3 looks so so, and I can't believe the 360 is getting the MGS title!!! Poor Sony, they lost all direction this generation.

I must say I am pleasantly surpeised by the Xbox announcements. The Xbox has really been losing steam lately with no major exclusive announcements. I love the new new Twitter interaction, and that Joy ride might be pretty fun. Halo has gotten old for me, so not looking forward to that release. Getting a Metal Gear game was the true shocker, and must sting Sony a little. The good thing about Sony though is that they have their own developers, so they will always have great exclusives, as we've seen this year and last. Microsoft doesn't have any good developers, so snatching Sony exclusives is the next bets thing I guess. I think that splinter Cell is gonna be nice, will it be exclusive? As for the motion technology, I promise you it will be gimmicky and not used much. Sony already has a similiar thing through the PSEye. I grabbed a few of the games that use the technology and it's cool at first, but get's old fast to a hard core gamer. The same with the skateboard. It will be another $100 peripheral sitting in the corner. I understand they wanna capture some of the Wii board crowd, but comeon.

[hansello]

Sony's line will be revealed in just a few hours. Fingers crossed for that Project Trico reveal.....

Not hating on the xbox, but the Metal Gear game (That isn't MGS4) finally clarifies the 'MGS4 is too big for the xbox rumour".
As a PS3 owner I'm actually quite jealous of the Splinter Cell game. Sam going all 'Jason Bourne' sounds pretty cool.

[Tedders85]

I still think that is is funny that MS will have released 3 games (Forza 1, 2 and 3) that directly compete with Sony's Gran Turismo series between the releases of GT4 and GT5. I call that smack to the face of Sony!! Yes, GT4 and Forza were released pretty much around the same time. But that fact that two more versions will have been released before GT5 is released is just sad.
