GameInformer writes:
"Once again, Microsoft hit the stage at E3 to tout new a host of new corporate partnerships for its Xbox Live service. However, those expecting talk of a new console will have to wait.

"Forza has now become the world's preeminent realistic racer." *Cough* BULLS**T *Cough*

As painful as that damned Book thing Sony had out was, MS' conference showed the standard 3. Halo, Gears, and the multi platform CoD. The rest of the show was about sports, Usher, and using my phone as a TV remote when I still have a perfectly good TV remote...

Sony had 2 amazing looking new IPs, another decent looking IP, and a solid GoW title (which I've never cared for but they are solid games), as well upping the quality of PS+ to include FREE WHOLE GAMES!!!

Nintendo, it's now your move.

Veneno4341d ago

Exactly. I missed the Microsoft conference but I guessed it accurately a year ago. Halo, Gears, Forza.

CommonSense4341d ago (Edited 4341d ago )

You people crack me up. You love to cut down MS at any chance you get. You think smartglass is just a tv remote? you either didn't see the demonstrations, you have no imagination, or both.

i felt that both shows were rather lame. sony actually reminded me of MS from a couple years ago. where it was about backdoor deals and partnerships with third party developers to try to coax ppl into buying a multiplat game on their system. the only difference...when MS does it, it's evil. when sony does it, it's smart business.

the best press conference was Ubisofts. ...so far.
Nintendo better have a whole lot of amazing looking games, cuz MS just showed everyone that 360 can be like the Wii U but with multi-touch hardware that you already own. was actually pretty brilliant.

I will say that Usher was one of the worst additions to an E3 conference that i've ever seen.

Lord_Sloth4341d ago (Edited 4341d ago )

I have a tablet but see no need for it to pull up data that I'm not interested in. If I want to find it, I'm not so damn lazy that I need the thing to auto hunt, especially not while google exists. I don't see myself using my phone to control my 360 menu while my controller works, I don't like sports, and I look up my own information. The whole idea is useless to me.

I don't recall mentioning Sony's backdoor business nor Microsoft's. Also I do not have G4, and Ubisoft was not aired on Spike and I watched Sony's on my PS3.

ScubaSteve14341d ago

i wasnt paying attention to microsoft because of usher spent to much time singing and dancing

BattleAxe4341d ago

Usher is the reason why most people buy Xbox 360s, forget about the games, I want to see some singing and dancing. And I'm so sick and tired of my regular TV remote, thats why I'm glad the MS is bringing out the Looking Glass. Xbox owners are the best non-gaming gamers, and all others are noobs. why would I want to play The Last of Us when MS is coming out with Kinectimals 2? Oh, and Usher is the man you noobs, thats why MS had the bestest show at E3....all non-gaming marketing with little to no substance, just the way we 360 owners like......straight up the hoop!

I never thought Ubisoft would beat a console-maker's keynote but they did. Especially Microsoft. They just seem to be on auto-pilot now.

Shang-Long4341d ago

As long as their ahead in concole sales, they Will be in auto pilot. My opinion

MySwordIsHeavenly4341d ago

The ONLY good part of Ubisoft's conference was Watch Dog. The good part of Assassin's Creed 3 was at the PS3 press conference.

Veneno4341d ago

I gettjng that white vita and AC3 liberation bundle.

I never got around to mass effect - I’m skeptical that it would hold up if I were to try it now

Furesis3h ago

I would say it does. The combat is a bit shit for todays standards but everything else is great.

It's worth a play through today.

El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron - Coming Back for a New Generation

Originally launched in 2011, El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron is coming to Nintendo Switch, so It's time to look back at the original.

jznrpg22h ago

Still have my ps3 copies. Bought it at launch and another one when I found it cheap and in perfect condition about 10 years ago. I wouldn’t buy it on Switch but if they made a PS5 version I would. I still have one of my PS3 Fats hooked up so good to go either way.

darthv7222h ago

Id play it again on the switch. I wished my 360 version was bc but this is still a good way to play.

Fallout 3's Reveal Led To Death Threats And Bethesda's First Security Guard

The artist behind Fallout 4’s Deathclaw reveals just how bad things got back when Bethesda took over the series

anast1d ago

People are stupid I get it. No one should feel unsafe,

But I think they need to talk about why they cut so many corners during the development process and why none of their games ever look current. And why they think all of this is okay while they charge full price.

LucasRuinedChildhood23h ago

As much as Bethesda deserve criticism, that's not really relevant to the reveal of Fallout 3 in 2007.

VenomUK20h ago

The default angle Kotaku always go for is to highlight the worst in gaming.

I would’ve focused on the creative.

anast2h ago

The game went downhill at Fallout 3's release. This is when they started to cut corners.

gold_drake19h ago

there is no "but". the hell lol
you dont send death threats, period.

anast2h ago

Usually, you have good comments but this isn't one of them. It just rides the mob. We can do both condemn the actions and not let them use it for other things.

I can say I received a death threat and everyone needs to shut up. People are not honest and will use horrible things to their advantage.

Armaggedon14h ago

Not all games “look” current.

anast2h ago

Their games always look like the gen before it.
