E3 2010: Microsoft Project Natal Experience Event Disappoints (DualShockers)
DualShockers writes,"The impressions are in from DualShockers’ own Al Zamora. Find out all of the mystery and intrigue that was offered for attendees as well as get to the meat of the matter with this video from DualShockers TV..."
(Casual games, E3, Industry, Microsoft, Project Natal, Tech, Xbox 360)
the one game that caught people's interest...and they show a video...instead of gameplay...i would have believed it if they had a person playing the game just to see if the fluid movements were actually in game
those ppl dont realise how lucky they are to be there... all they do is complain...i dont understand why everyone expect second coming of Christ on every E3... you should learn by now not to get hyped about anything ... but look things with open mind..
honestly i dont believe when i read a news headline tht says "x game will blow your mind" or crap like tht .. i tried to stay away from that article....
in the end its personal liking and disliking.. if you are fan of "x game" then you will be blown away with just a freaking teaser with nothing more than a name of the game on the screen..
for me if someone announce anything related to "the warriors" or "manhunt3" on any console or hand held, whoever announce it is a winner for me..
Kinect for the lose. I'm very dissapointed as well. I was expecting something revolutionary. With the exception of Dance Central, all Kinect has is shovelware. Microsofts conference was the worst I've ever seen from them IMO.
The Microsoft conference was "meh" overall, but I was actually a bit impressed with the Kinect stuff. I was thinking of my niece and nephew when that young girl was demoing Kinectimals.
Also, the fitness game from Ubisoft seems to be, from what was shown, the best of the "fitness" genre to date. At least it seems to make you move more than Wii Fit and that fitness game from EA for the Wii.
I'm still reserved overall, but it wasn't as big a disappointment as I thought it would be. The Kinect stuff, at least.
These Impressions were only from the Natal presentation just to be clear. I hope that Sony and Nintendo have a lot to show or this E3 is going to be a bummer.
This video is not on the Microsoft Press Conference it is on the Natal event. Maybe people should watch again with that context in mind if you got confused the first time.
Microsoft isnt really known for having the worst E3 showings.. They usually are in the top 2 spots.. This showing cemented a 3rd place even before Tuesday.. VERY disappointing.
besides Kinect, M$'s biggest showcases were Halo: Reach and Gears of War 3. these franchises make money, but do little to innovate.
on the other hand, Sony will be showcasing LittleBigPlanet 2, Killzone 3, Socom 4, the Last Guardian and possibly Infamous 2...all of which belong to series that are critically successful.
M$'s conference was all hype, little substance. it's practically impossible for Sony's conference to be as much of a let down as M$'s conference was.
Have you not been paying attention to the last past several weeks here? We have a butt-load of games coming out. They'll most definitely just talk about the move and do a recap of all the games already talked about pre-E3. The move/socom combo will be enough to top MS' Natal offering.
Well Sony just announced four new games in the past month. Clearly they have some big things in store this E3. Or else they would of saved the surprise.
Kinect sure looks awful. It clearly is because MS gave away a free xbox to everyone attending the conference. This is most likely due to the fact they want people to sway there opinions to the positive side with Kinect.
ubi soft ubi soft showed off a game for the konect however, the footage was cut off due to some unforseen issues with the G4 studio cameras. When it was corrected, the creator said for xbox konect and moved on this e3 cant get no better for Microsoft as far as presentation goes
if sony or nintendo was watching this lame show of ms i feel like one of them will make ms pay for it i could be wrong though just hope sony doesn't show move the entire show they can show it for at least 10 min's but not the entire show thats just stupid..
I think that fitness game using Kinetic is revolutionary, state of the art, and indeed the coolest fitness software on the market. Everything else from Microsoft was rubbish though imho. LOL at forza using natal. Jesus, they couldn't come up with something other than that?
Kinect will find its rightful place next to the power glove, virtual boy, and R.O.B.
Is it just me or did the Halo environments look really... bland or sparse or N64ish? I'm not trying to rip on it, I thought the enemy evasion was sweet and the A.I. seemed nice, but I would expect a mountain base to be a little more mountainy and harder to access then a grassy field with random crags sticking out of the ground.
Not very inspired, I think Bungie is ready to be done with Halo.
What is it with these game companies and their useless paper weights? Just keep producing more AAA games. Not this garbage. What PS3 or 360 owners even asked for this garbage? I'm 90% sure nobody that owns a 360 or a PS3 asked Sony or MS if they could produce a motion controller.
watch the video and see the proof wherrethey show the wristbands, confirmation and kinectimals they received at the show. Silly comment Trix are for kids.
no has nothing to do with fanboys the show was stupid its a fact what was so special about it give me a answer please?the new slim 360 isn't speical it may look better but it still lacks the power then the ps3 and to top it off what games are coming other then halo or gears of war?

every one is saying it was a disappointment. I wish i was there regardless. I wanted to see for myself!
Man Xbox fanboys can be douchie.
/sarcasm

Even the American media can't pretend it was good! I was expecting the second coming A.K.A timed exclusive DLC!

For that matter, still don't know if Eyepet learns and recognizes people.
Sony and Nintendo conferences will save E3.
I'd rather there be more videos instead of articles on this, the worst E3 conference of all-time.
edit: this video is actually on the other Microsoft press conference that happened yesterday.
This video is not on the Microsoft Press Conference it is on the Natal event. Maybe people should watch again with that context in mind if you got confused the first time.
I say at least 15-20 articles will say "Sony beats MS" tomorrow.
on the other hand, Sony will be showcasing LittleBigPlanet 2, Killzone 3, Socom 4, the Last Guardian and possibly Infamous 2...all of which belong to series that are critically successful.

In your opinion, given what you've seen from Microsoft, what percentage do you think Sony's will dissapoint?
It clearly is because MS gave away a free xbox to everyone attending the conference. This is most likely due to the fact they want people to sway there opinions to the positive side with Kinect.

Disappoints a Sony website, big surprise.
Just look around at the latest articles.
You have proof that these people were actually at the event?
I see a bunch of BS articles written by people who saw it on broadcast that are hating on it in order to garner hits for their websites.
Fanboyism destroyed gaming.
the show was stupid its a fact what was so special about it give me a answer please?the new slim 360 isn't speical it may look better but it still lacks the power then the ps3 and to top it off what games are coming other then halo or gears of war?
