The conference was good, it was not great.
Though a few things took my personal thoughts down.
-They focused too much on casual gaming
-They completely copied the Wii Commercials (remember those?)
-Natal looks like a great device, though they only focused on casual gaming for it, also they showed how great life could be choosing a dress through Xbox instead of real life, how amazing! (sarcasm)
-Milo looks like a great game, well actually if in the game the only thing you do is talk to him and draw stuff on paper so a virtual boy can see how good your artistic skills are, and its also good for those who never had a good chance to talk to anyone in real life, come on they need something better than that.
-Some embarrasments here and there like the Mic not working, and then the other mic not working, and then the Natal Project guy came on the stage and he tried to show us the avatar’s foot, and all of the sudden the whole avatar started twisting and that was a big embarrasment.

To clarify this, Metal Gear Solid Rising is NOT a 360 exclusive, it has been confirmed by Microsoft, and other websites stating (360,PS3,PC).

For now i cant give them a grade, i would rather watch all the conferances and then decide which one stands on top, i have a good feeling Sony will come on top, but that we will have to wait and see.

Peace.

As an owner of both systems I think if a game is exclusive to the Xbox 360 console then the game is a console exclusive no matter if it goes to the PC, The PC is more or less MS other platform and they are more than happy for you to buy it on that format, BUT wait didn’t we buy a PS3 so we would not have to buy games for the PC and keep it up to date ?.
Sony would love to be in the same position as MS and release their games on the PC but it seems like they can’t without MS gaining(like MS with Blu Ray) so MS win either way.

Outstanding conference by MS.

Agreed…

Crackdown 2 IS the only game you should care about, my favorite 360 game finally gets a sequel now if only Sony gives a solid release date to the sequel of my favorite PS3 game which is Uncharted then and I will be more than happy.

Nothing surprising and nothing exciting, how can you guys say that it deserved more than a B+?

It was a good press conference but nothing special.

B+ is a pretty good score. Although they had a large portion multiplatform games (take off some points) and showed some games I didn’t really care about (take off more points), MGS: R on 360 boosted it up a lot. I have to say, the first part of Natal brought it down some, too, but then Milo brought it up a lot.

Good things about the conference, IMO:
- MGS: R on 360
- Alan Wake
- Milo
That’s it. Those things are enough to earn a B, IMO, because I was awe-struck by Milo and MGS: R on 360 is really funny. Because I like laughing at fanboys. Heh.

@MCLOVIN: only in the UK.

I personally thought that was B+ myself. There is essentially..what 3-4 games coming out THIS YEAR??? and a couple of those are on the PC as well….so really 1-2 CONSOLE exclusive?

I really like the Natal thing, but we have to wait and see how its implemented into bigger games.

JohnPants – What was so great about it, a couple of well publicised exclusive a lot of multi platform games and a glorified Wii – would you rather play Forza 3 with an imaginary wheel or a physical one? And still no firm release date for Alan Wake?
