Just got done watching the Microsoft conference. After watching it my first prediction is that the new number one cause of death for children will be mauling by animals. That has to be the worst game I have ever seen. Not only did they not announce a price point for shitbox, but
Amazon has all of the first party games listed for $59.99 seperate!! Not only that but
gamestop has shitbox listed for $149.99 along
with each game being $59.99. The only shitbox game that seemed interesting is that one by ubisoft where you are being stalked by the Predator as you work out. I was just waiting for an Alien to pop out of my trainers chest during game play. That Star Wars shitbox game looked horrible, it just seems like you do a few small body movements than the game moves you. Not only that the storm troopers just walk right up to you and stand there waiting for you to slash them. But we all know that Lucas Arts would never milk a franchise right?
Nice to see ESPN 3 coming to 360. Now I know why ESPN dropped ESPN360 and just made it ESPN 3 they probably want to make the brand name stand out and not have it be assosiated with Microsoft. The only major word missing from announcing ESPN on the 360 was
NFL. It would be nice to see Monday Night Football on the 360, but doubt it will be on it. Though I was hoping for a hulu announcement but oh well. Better than last years announcement of Facebook and Twitter.
I like the new 360 slim, its about time someone besides Sony does a console remodel, kudos for the wi-fi and hard drive expansion. Oh, and Microsoft is full of shit when they are saying this is X-Box's 10th year, X-Box will be Nine in November. Thats just like me adding 9 months to my life because I was "in development" before I busted out of the womb. Overall this conference was a Solid
F for me, no new major gaming announcements, just major gaming gimmicks.
Also, a few posts back someone was complaining about not calling it a Metal Gear Solid game, its not part of the Solid series at all and Hideo seemed like he did not want to be part of the presentation. Its his studio but he made it clear that he "passed the torch" to someone else. The game will be good because its a Kojima Production, its just another universe in the Metal Gear series like AC!D.
