E3 Microsoft
16 years ago
This years E3 has so far been the best ive actually seen myself and ive seen the past 3 years. becides games we already knew about like Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 and Final Fantasy XIII there was alot of suprises. the first was Crackdown 2, now ive never playd the first one and i now want to go out and buy it. this game looks amazing. another amazing title anounced was Left 4 Dead 2 with the releas date of November 17. that was fast i was suprised when i heard such an earily release date. Next we have Splinter Cell Conviction which was amazing, especially the graphics. then there was Forza Motor Sport 3, im not much of a racing game person but i may go out and get this one. we all knew about Halo: ODST but we got stund by Halo: REACH we dont know much about this gamne yet but we do know that when ODST releases there will be a code in the boxes allowing buyers to participate in the REACH multiplayer beta. Alan wake was amazing with a releas some time Spring 2010. now youll be able to stream music straight on your xbox from a radio like chanel calld Last.fm.it will be out on the market place later this year free for all Xbox Live Gold members. Everyone has been wanting to do more with the new xbox live party and now you can. we have no releas date yet but you will be able to watch movies with your party of friends now all at once even if not everyone has the movie. Facebook and Twitter will be useable on the 360 this fall. youll be able to dop everything you would be able to do online without having to get on your computer. Finally all you MGS fanboys there is a 360 game for you, its calld Metal Gear Solid Rising, you wont be playing as Snake in this game though yet its still gona be an amazing game (if they dont have the long cut scenes like they did in MGS4). Motion controlls have been announced except this is not what your thinking. you dont need any remotes at all for this periferal. its an amazing announcement and cant wait till i learn more about it. well thats all the info from Microsoft now for EA next and Ubisoft later today.
The Splinter Cell Conviction footage probably assuaged a lot of folks' fears about its development -- mainly the rather pervasive rumor that Michael Ironside might not be returning as Fisher's voice actor. Rest assured, Splinter Cell fans, the voice is safe.
As for the Reach beta, it probably won't be a code in the box, but rather the same thing they did with Crackdown and the Halo 3 multiplayer beta, back in the day -- the beta must be installed and launched via the ODST disc menus.
My one beef with ODST so far is that due to the Spartan Laser's size (the thing's gotta weight at least 80lbs, probably over 100), it should be a heavy weapon (like the broken turrets, flamethrower, or missile pod) for non-Spartans like the ODSTs. That, or make it so you can't fire it while running.
