Cliffy B labels Kinect E3 Experience event 'awesome'
Microsoft's rather bizarre E3 Kinect 'Experience' event has got the thumbs up from Cliff 'Cliffy B' Bleszinski.
(Industry, Kinect, Microsoft, Xbox 360)
Can someone explain to me what this event was? Was it just an unveiling of the name? Because there is a "Project Natal" conference Tuesday according to the schedule: http://www.e3expo.com/
Notice how it's right after Sony's conference. Purposely done?
Edit: Wait a minute, wait a minute, THAT was it? That's what is showing Tuesday?? No way! Did I miss something here? Where there ANY hardcore games? Are you guys sure this was the actual conference for Kinect??

Wow, I'm totally shocked! Where's the crap from Bethesda?? Criterion? I'm so disappointed :O
From other sites, the Tuesday event is supposed to be the same event except opened to a wider audience of 3000 or something along those lines. So far from the twitter feeds, Cliffy seemed at least amused, as did Felicia Day. Stephen Totilo though it was okay, but lots of me-to type games. The me-to games would have to be expected though, as a means to get people eased into the tech, but it really would have been nice to hear about something else besides Star Wars to be excited about. And no one has really talked yet about how the games actually looked which is intriguing to me.
That's because you never explained or gave me reasons. Sorry if it seemed like I was just being stubborn, but I did not understand what you were saying, and now I'm totally confused and a little dumbfounded. I was expecting to hear so much more.
@logikil
So there's another event Tuesday that's Live?? Or is it just a pre-recording??
This may be off topic, but I'm drunk and may not have read the article very well.
First of all, I'd like to thank you for your opinions over the past couple months about the new developments coming from both microsoft and sony. This is my 1st post at N4G, but I've been a follower for a long time. You seem to be someone willing to see both good/bad points of both machines.
I sincerely wish that all of the articles about the new motion control would be denied. Until both products are shown fully (at E3 or otherwise) there are no certain facts about either.
IMO I hope the natal (or whatever the new name is) shows games relevant to the non-casual gamer. If not, I can't see myself buying it, no matter what the price is. But the same is with the move.
Until anything "real" is shown about these "new consoles" are shown, I will remain skeptical about hardcore motion control.
P.S. I love some wii games, so I am trying to keep an open mind about both systems
"If all this seems hard to picture, you can experience the event yourself in a 30-minute, commercial-free special broadcast on MTV on Tuesday, June 15, 2010 at 3:30 pm ET, and on Nick at Nite, mtvU, MTV Hits, and Logo at 9 pm ET."
I think it's just a re-airing of the event.
=== Edit: Yeah, just the two live events. So we've got tomorrow and that's it for Microsoft. They list all of the E3 events from here: http://www.xbox.com/en-US/c...
=== Edit 2: As far as the event, read what people have been typing. It wasn't for me, but Microsoft still has the opportunity to mention third-party titles tomorrow at their 360 conference. This event seemed pretty much just a way for advertising the rebranding and release of Kinect to the public in a big way.
Lol..Gaf is awesome. From what Ive been following from a couple of live blogs, not necessarily too exciting although the star wars game was pretty cool. can't wait to see vids.
I was following his Tweets during the event He usually has a solid perspective on what's what and I think the fact he praised it, even though they showed casual games was a good sign. I don't see why people are hating on Cliffy B? Dudes like a cross between a rockstar and CEO. I dig his games and his input. I mean what do people want? Everyone is saying this thing was cool, nobody getting paid to do so.
*Edit* I think Microsoft wouldn't have had a choice in the matter. Every single person said positive things about it. I think that says something nice about the product and what it's supposed to do.
On a side note, I see the POS3 Fangirls are out in force trying to hurt the MS machine! Wont happen though, the show looked tight and I'm even more excited then I was yesterday! Good stuff, twitter and all the people tweeting about the show have pretty much quelled any fears I had about how awesome Kinect was going to be.
Why not? He isn't an MS employee, and they invited other folks that weren't blown away by it. CheapyD didn't seem all that interested and wasn't afraid to blog about it. Epic games gave MS pretty much its second biggest game this gen, you think they are just going to toss Cliffy and his crew out the door if he happens to say he doesn't dig on Natal/Kinect?
Ok dude. The people hating on it don't make games, they're mostly reporters and bloggers. If your boss invited you to his house for dinner and it sucked and you were asked if it was good would you reply "Terrible, just terrible." He might not be employed by them personally but you know who publishes that game, signs the checks, make the advertising, provides the platform. Yeah, Microsoft.
lol thanks, yeah it sucks! :'( we got em for another year at least. the group that is trying to buy them is making progress and says if they get em they will keep em here. hope it goes well!
wHo else was there? Because on this site every little twitter status gets and article it seems. And Cliffy is the one one so far... Was he the only one at the show lol?
Why Doesn't MS do like Sony is doing with move and putting Natal in Best Buys across los angeles so "REAL" people can test out this thing in a uncontrolled enviroment. Instead of having Justin Bieber, Icarly, Miley Cyrus or whoever demo it?
Well i'm "labelling" Cliffy B as a sell out.. from the sounds of the event, it sucked pretty badly and had zero relevance or meaning to microsoft's current user base.
