Activision's is just a conference call, audio only. it's not exactly something to watch. I'll list some tv stuff for you in a bit, HM. you should just call me or something and I'll tell you all about it. need some computer during e3! --- xyzzy |
Natal to be calleg Kinect? Also 360 slim?! http://cache.gawkerassets.com/assets/images/9/2010/06/500x_slim360.jpg --- http://board8.com | http://imgCake.com | http://GameFold.com | http://CosPix.net _______________________________________________________________ |
Valve is between Ubisoft and Activision right? --- That's what I'm getting. |
Valve's thing is completely canceled now. or so they claim. I don't know what the hell Valve is actually doing. --- xyzzy |
Last rumor I heard is they picked up DNF lol rumor --- My God, did that predict good! Dr_Football-l-l it no goin' and you tell me do things, I done runnin'... |
<3 that Valve press release though. Wouldn't be surprised in the least if they still did something though. --- http://board8.com | http://imgCake.com | http://GameFold.com | http://CosPix.net _______________________________________________________________ |
From: transience | #024 Valve's thing is completely canceled now. or so they claim. I don't know what the hell Valve is actually doing. The way I understood it was that they had a Portal 2 conference. Then announced that the conference had been replaced by a surprise. The internet goes Ep3 crazy. Portal 2 delayed and surprise to be Portal 2 related. Surprise cancelled and conference back to normal. Which basically means a massive swerve with Half Life 2 Ep3 now dropping the "Episode" line. --- Maybe. |
:/ Guess it's just the spot in the EA conference then. --- Dammit. |
If that ends up happening. --- *sigh* |
there's been a bunch of rumours about the xbox 360 slim today. here's the info on them: http://kotaku.com/5562387/new-xbox-360-coming-project-natal-gets-renamed this is definitely a rumour so don't take it with 100% accuracy. the people trying to verify this information are coming up with nothing at the moment. --- xyzzy |
I'm hophin fake, because not really digging the name 'Kinect.' --- http://board8.com | http://imgCake.com | http://GameFold.com | http://CosPix.net _______________________________________________________________ |
okay, I made a thread for the Microsoft press conference. all info about times and where to see it are here: http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/8-gamefaqs-contests/55178697 --- xyzzy |
That thing doesn't look very slim to me. --- http://i48.tinypic.com/2cgh5cj.jpg |
I
only care about two things: the price and if it's got built-in
wireless. the look or the size doesn't really matter to me at all. though I have to wonder where the USB ports are if that's real --- xyzzy |
Microsoft Kinect (Natal) confirmed. http://www.usatoday.com/tech/gaming/2010-06-14-vidgame14_ST_N.htm Kinect's built-in camera and microphone (due later this year, no price set) uses facial and voice recognition to let you, for instance, log onto Xbox Live, start games and pause movies. And a new menu lets you choose games or services such as Netflix by simply reaching out and pointing toward the screen selection. Video chat lets Xbox 360 homes connect; the smart camera widens when another person enters the room. Microsoft's Marc Whitten credits Nintendo with setting things in motion: "They have done some amazing things and brought new people to the category. This is fundamentally different. It's (about) my body being the controller (and) being able to communicate with just my voice to the system." Among games in the works: •Kinectimals lets you train and play with 20 different virtual cats, including a lion, cheetah and tiger. •Joyride, a racing game, lets players use their hands to hold an imaginary steering wheel — pull your hands toward you and push back out for an acceleration boost — and their bodies to execute jumps and tricks. •Kinect Sports has six activities including boxing, bowling, beach volleyball, track and field, soccer and table tennis. To serve a volleyball, you mimic the real motion; in soccer, you can kick the ball or do a header. •Kinect Adventures includes a river-raft time trial and obstacle course, playable by up to four players. On the raft, playing as a duo, you and a partner must lean one way or another to steer. Jumping helps the raft reach special areas for extra points. •Dance Central, in development by MTV Games, brings a So You Think You Can Dance experience home. •Star Wars characters and iconic Disney favorites will be featured in separate new games being developed at Microsoft in conjunction with LucasArts and Disney. "This is (Microsoft's) attempt to leapfrog the Wii and broaden the appeal of the Xbox," says Geoff Keighley of Spike's GameTrailers. "The questions are, 'Does the controller-free environment make (the Xbox 360) more accessible?' and 'Is it fun?' " --- xyzzy |

Kinect
Sports doesn't even try to hide that it's a ripoff; instead it seems
like they're completely embracing their device as a grab for that Wii
audience. curious to see how this is received - of course you and I
will be like "lol yeah okay" but the mainstream press is the big thing
here. Microsoft's thing is being picked up by Spike TV, MTV and Nick at Nite. they are going to reach that audience. --- xyzzy |
I just can't wait to see Sony show up on Tuesday with Move Sports. --- http://i48.tinypic.com/2cgh5cj.jpg |
Let's get real for a second. Is anyone actually expecting Kinect and/or Move to be successful? --- Yoblazer: http://i44.tinypic.com/5nw45i.jpg Watch and you'll see... some day I'll be... part of your world! |
Honestly, probably not. And that's what makes this all so painful to watch. --- http://i48.tinypic.com/2cgh5cj.jpg |
Move could be successful, but not with the casuals. Kinect has a chance because it removes a controller. their problem? they didn't launch with the system. if Microsoft was really serious about this they'd package it with new hardware, but try to reinvent themselves in year 5. --- xyzzy |
From: PartOfYourWorld | #040 Successful? Yes. Original/Game changing? Heck no. It's a cash grab for the Wii market. --- Quis custodiet ipsos custodes? Guru winnah Explicit Content, that's quis. |
I
stopped trying to predict what will be successful in the game industry
quite a while ago. I'm not going to even attempt guessing at Natal and
Move. --- "It's a magical world, Hobbes ol' buddy...let's go exploring!" - Calvin |
From: yoshifan823 | #043 Right, which is why I'll be stunned if either are successful. They're going after the Wii market four years after the Wii, and probably at double the cost. This stuff will be bundled with each respective console for, what, $400? The best thing about releasing this junk is that we might see yet another price cut from both Microsoft and Sony. There were rumors a few days ago about a smaller-HDD PS3 hitting stores for $200. If that happens, I'll fellate a PS Move stick out of gratitude. --- Yoblazer: http://i32.tinypic.com/zlf1w7.gif Watch and you'll see... some day I'll be... part of your world! |
Let's get real for a second. Is anyone actually expecting Kinect and/or Move to be successful? Kinect a little bit, sure. I don't see the vast majority of Wii owners (moms) suddenly buying a new console to collect dust, but if Kinect works well, it could be the shot in the arm the 360 needs. Chasing the Wii market is a bad idea for the Move, but it should be nice to have some of those Wii Sports style games with proper online modes and some depth. It's going to make my Wii even more of a dust collecting Zelda machine than it already is. --- measure twice, cut twice |
New
360 design is kinda cool, but I'm not sure if it is even real. I
usually try not to believe any rumors going into E3, though. Also,
whoever came up with "Kinect" should probably be fired, but if the Wii
can get a good reputation despite it's name, I'm sure this can shake it
off. --- From: Biolizard28 | Posted: 7/10/2009 8:57:29 PM | #010 Sometimes, a man needs his lolicon. |
This stuff will be bundled with each respective console for, what, $400? I'd be very surprised tbh --- measure twice, cut twice |
yeah, expect $300 for an arcade + na.. kinect at the very most. 349 for the hard drive. though for the people looking to play this, is a hard drive even necessary? it isn't with a Wii. --- xyzzy |
From: PartOfYourWorld | #040 Im not, considering we had this bout 8 years ago --- My God, did that predict good! Dr_Football-l-l it no goin' and you tell me do things, I done runnin'... |
