Microsoft Press Conference Discussion

A very popular entertainer performing a top hit right now is approaching some dude no ones ever heard of virtually playing the drums in a shitty manner?

Yeah, because Usher has only has 0.000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 00000001% to do with gaming.

Don't really care about surprises..

I'm mostly curious if there are good write-ups of the Glass stuff.

Ah yeah big segment on glass...basically any tablet or smartphone can sync up with the 360 with movies/tv shows/games/apps. Up to the developer/producer with how they use it. But like they showed watching Game of Thrones and getting show notes in real time as the show was going based on what was on the TV.

They also showed Madden using it to on the fly create a new play on a tablet and sync it with the game. It looks interesting....will be about how its used really.

Oh we will. I think we should be getting Next Gen consoles from everyone and not just Nintendo this year. Nintendo has the right idea...

Nintendo also has been hitting a strong slump in their financials....they need the cash injection..>Sony and MS have on the other hand, been selling damn well for the tail end of a cycle.

Did you miss the part where the song and his dance moves are going to be featured in Dance Central 3?

Depends, not sure if these will help but oh well:


CNET

Forbes



These are just quick hits and I am sure deeper write ups will pop up soon.

MS sucks at naming things. Xbox Music? Xbox Smartglass?

No, hence the 0.000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 00000001%

So GoW: JUdgement is a prequel focusing on Baird. Talking about it on GT now.

Also Peter Molyneux just called it... "who would be brave enough to start a new franchise right now." Meaning why create a new franchise at the end of a life cycle.

Logic is sound. A year later and you're gonna have to convince all your new fans to buy a new system just to play the sequel. Easier said than done.

I do wonder what the purpose of a somewhat Casual-focused E3 is.

Are Dance Central fans really watching E3 on Spike?

Only purposes i can think of is the "general" news reporters go to the conference and probably barely go on the game floor.

[K INC]

Nope. I really would like to know who organizes these conferences and kick them in the nuts.
