If you say so, :/.

With these mentions of the initial Project Natal '09 coverage, I wonder if Peter Molyneux will pop his creepy ass in at Microsoft's conference. We need his hilariously ambitious projects for entertainment at the very least if they don't have much of anything to show beyond Gears/Halo/etc. Well, plus I don't really have a dog in MS's fight.

As for Sony and Nintendo, I'm hoping for those Vita and 3DS titles. For what it's worth, Uncharted: Golden Abyss has been fun, I'm starting to enjoy it more so than 3, and I've been getting plenty of play out of Mortal Kombat Vita. However, past Gravity Rush (and maybe Dragon's Crown) there's just nothing I'm anticipating that's new- I'm certainly not counting Persona 4, despite my affection for that series. As for the 3DS, SMTIV and the Soul Hackers remake might tide anticipation for anything else over, but again, nothing comes to mind. A part of me is excited for Super Smash Bros. 3D, but that's a series I haven't been to interested in since 2006. I didn't get a lot of play out of Brawl, and while I hope the appeal hasn't worn off for me, that's the way it's looking.

We will be sucked.

T-Minus 30 minutes and counting before Microsoft kicks things off. Inviting anyone who would be interested in Skyping through the press conferences--just send me a pm. MIcrosoft's should be very riffable. Plus, my $150 dollar Yeti mic needs some lovin'.

E3, my body is ready.

Anyone find it funny that 'The Last of Us' has a character that looks like Ellen Page, and yet Quantic Dreams decided to hire the real deal for 'Beyond'?

[Dracarys]

Did MS change the time 30 minutes earlier sometime in the last week? I seem to have missed 30 minutes, oh well. What I missed? I saw the Fable kinect trailer onwards.

That explains the re-design of that character in The Last of Us.

E3 Starts today? I had no idea thought it was in July? :-/

Cool anyway looking forward to RE6, Dead Space 3, GTA, Quantic Dreams Game and hopefully they have some nice suprises for us.

Opps and the Last Of Us

I was just looking at the new Uncharted game starring Lara Croft. Looks suspenseful.

EDIT: RE6 demo now shown

http://e3.gamespot.com/press-confere...e3expo%3Bpress

Most of what was shown was a cinematic cutscene of QTE sequences which is great because the QTE prompts themselves are much flashier and recognizable than the basic button cues of the last games. The game play itself though looks amazing if you love RE4 and RE5. No HUD in the corner from what I saw. China looks fantastic. The zombies look scary. And for all you action fans there the chase sequence with the helicopter explosion is sure to get your adrenaline rush.

Inb4 everyone rages and kills themselves over the action-packed RE6 demo we all knew was coming. Quicktime events galore...holy shit.

[Dracarys]

Good to see Leon scenrio is true survival horror and not an actionfest.

[Vito]

Amazing, can't wait to October 2nd.

[DarkMemories]

We now know that there's one thing Leon cannot do: fly a helicopter.

[Dracarys]

So apparently RE6 got 360 timed exclusive DLC.

Lame.

[Smiley]

But not surprising.

[DarkMemories]

You know, I have to ask: does Microsoft actually think their conferences are good? Because I can't help but think they completely tune out the complaints every year about shitty Kinect integration taking over the show.

That said, it hasn't been as bad as last year, thanks to Splinter Cell, Tomb Raider, and (potentially controversial) Resident Evil 6 gameplay footage.

[Smiley]

What stole the conference was actually the new South Park game. That was quite the highlight when the game was unveiled.

[Rombie]

Being that it's almost 6am here I slept through the first hour and have to catch up via Gametrailers stream (which thankfully I can watch in delay)...

Will return....

[Dracarys]

MS Conference in short: Here are some multiplats we moneyhatted timed DLC for.
