@RedgeHammer: Mainly because you have to consider your audience. In the crowd are enthusiast gaming press. Watching around the world are your hardcore gamers, not your casual crowd.
Example: This year will see the PS3 release of games like Ape Escape for the PS Move, Hasbro Family Game Night 4, Disney Universe, Happy Feet 2, and Puss in Boots.
Those weren't at the conference. Because their audience wouldn't care. There's a time and a place, an... #2.1.4
Yeah, the Kinect crap. That's what I said. I'll admit that I could see my nephew liking those games, but the E3 press conference was kinda a dumb place to talk about them. The people that would like games like that weren't watching it. They could have just thrown a few commercials on Disney channel and Nick Jr. and that would have done it. #2.1.2
Yeah, if you haven't played Heavy Rain by now, you kinda deserve to have it spoiled. The game came out more than a year ago. After 6 months, I stop caring about possible spoilers. #3.2.3
They had exclusives? Where? You mean Halo? Please don't tell me you're talking about the Kinect crap they're trying to shove down our throats.
Edit: @Zir0 - I thought we were talking, to quote you, "must have exclusives." Which would be Gears 3, and two Halo games. So that'd be three. Unless I missed something; I'll admit I dozed off for about twenty minutes during the event. #2.1
Was a bit boring, with not much I didn't know already. At least it didn't flatly piss me off like MS's did, or confuse the crap out of me like Nintendo.
And Ubisoft's conference next year better begin with a public execution of Mr. Caffeine. #4
LMFAO! Oh man; I missed that one. I've never seen him get quite that pissed off before. Can't believe he just got up and left....wait, it's Tommy Tallarico. OF COURSE I can believe that.
That made me laugh so much that I felt I owed it to you to find the Lifeline review from X-Play.
@omni25p: Too Human had a dev time almost as long as DNF. It was horrid. Proof positive that games, much like food, can turn out horrible if overcooked.
Edit: Although I do agree Alan Wake was fantastic. A shame more people never discovered that because they didn't buy it; it was a crime how much that undersold. #1.1.2
I remember the X-Play review. That chick didn't do anything Adam said, then he got annoyed and told her to bark like a dog, and she asked what kind of dog, a little one or a big one, and made appropriate example barking sounds for each. The look on Adam's face was PRICELESS! #18.1
Exactly what I was thinking. If I were a developer, I sure as hell wouldn't want to find a way to program some Kinect/PS Move usage into EVERYTHING.
People act like the guy said "Kinect sux ballz11!!!1!eleven11!!" or something. Some people just need to get a grip on reality, and that reality is that NO ONE GIVES A CRAP ABOUT THE "CONSOLE WAR" EXCEPT FOR FANBOYS. #8.1
It's more that that. Some of the sidequests will also be based on choice that you made in inFamous 1, and some of the dead drops will also mention specific things you did. #2.2.2
Couldn't agree more, man. This person did a dis-service to all 63 of their readers with this review. I can't even begin to describe all the ways in which it is wrong. #52.1
Wrong. The gameplay engine is EXACTLY the same. The only thing new is the graphics engine, which is a different one than used for Reach. And with the press of a button, you can disable that engine, and be playing the EXACT game we played 10 years ago.

Second, I'm in Google's Music Beta too. It is sweet, isn't it? #1.1.10

If you read that dribble and couldn't SMELL the bias through the screen, then something is seriously wrong with you. #58
