Nothing at all. EXCEPT the little girl hiding from her virtual tiger.

[Jericho]

...incredibly enough, I seem to be the only one here who cares about anything even remotely non-japanese.

With me, it's not so much that I don't care for anything not Japanese, it's just that nothing there really popped out at me save for MG:Rising's slick style (and even then, I didn't get to see any of the prior footage before that one instance of combat and the watermelon thing). Halo, I've never really been a hardcore fan for, although I know the games are well done, Gears of War is/has always been too friggin' gory for me (I really can't stomach excessive gore), and the Call of Duty showed there was not only a bit unimpressive after Modern Warfare's showing last year even, but it also seems like it's much too soon for it. There';s also the fact that it's Activision and [tornado fang] Activision for what they did to those IW employees. [tornado fang] them hard.

Also that ESPN move is [tornado fang]ing intelligent as hell.

...aside from hype, all we got was a guy cutting stuff, honestly. =P We KNOW the game is going to be good, but cutting stuff like this has been in games for awhile now. Hell, Afro Samurai had it to some degree. You just couldn't choose the angle directly.

[Gary Loaki]

And choosing the angle to slice people in half will be the reason I play it. 

[Protoman Blues]

Whenever they've updated their X-Box Live Gold stuff for free like this, I always applaud.

[Align]

Anyone been able to watch the Super Scribblenauts trailer? Can't get it to load.
I hope they fixed the controls...

[STM]

Lou will stream Mets games 24/7.

You know that to be true.

The Kinect is... lack luster. Kinectimals looked like an awkward Hey You Pikachu and nothing else really stood out. Yeah, not the target audience, but you could hear the audience's deadness.

Rising looked neat, but they banked their biggest load on Kinect. Everything else was playing it safe. The new Xbox is neat, but at $300 (the "new" elite) I don't know. The current 360s are also getting a $50 reduction. Not bad.

Of course, Microsoft is still being mum about the price of Kinect. Very interesting when we have a date.

LoL, if you mean Ninja Lou, absolutely!  (He's a Yankees fan)

[Lilirulu]

Kinect is separate from the 360 right?

[Emiri Landeel]

Yus
Will look like this.

[Police Girl]

"Slim Xbox 360 gets official at $299, shipping today, looks angular and ominous (hands-on!)"

How the hell is it More Expensive than the normal 360? Is it an Elite Bundle with a "Free" game with it?

[Solar]

Of course, Microsoft is still being mum about the price of Kinect.

Maybe they're trying to not have a moment like Sony's infamous "600 US dollars"

...hadn't they announced that it was the same price?

Thanks I was hoping for that x3

I was hoping you were hoping for that.

And shooting stuff is new because?

[Bueno Excelente]

And shooting stuff is new because?

Graphics, effects, environments, space combat, impressively animated enemies with individual attackable limbs that change the way you fight them, impressive weapons...

The MGS saga is probably my favorite current saga in gaming, but I have to admit, that was just a simple teaser that showed Raiden cutting stuff with a camera that stands too close to him to work reasonably in a full action game. But I guess we'll see.

[Police Girl]

...hadn't they announced that it was the same price?

Posted on: June 14, 2010, 09:39:09 PMI was hoping you were hoping for that.

Its $299, making it the most Expensive 360 out there.

[Bueno Excelente]

Hm, I see. Well, it's probably because of that huge hard drive.

Aaaaaaaaaaaand the EA press conference is almost starting!

[Protoman Blues]

Nothing official yet. And boy I hope it's not official...

[Lilirulu]

I love The Killers d(=v=)b. I'll have to remember to follow this next year.

The 360 is over priced. ono

[Protoman Blues]

The 360 is over priced. ono

So does the Kinect, and ESPECIALLY Kinect Sports & Kinect Adventures!

Damn. I guess I won't being playing skip with any matrix tigers. :<

[Protoman Blues]

Well don't give up on your Matrix Tigger just yet. Again these prices are not official.

And EA's conf. is starting.

Give it some time, fluff pudding, and the price might get lower. ^oo^

[Bueno Excelente]

Started with a pretty cool Hot Pursuit trailer. DAMN I used to love the first game.

OH MY GOD CRITERION! Burnout plus Need for Speed? HELL YES.

...IT PLAYS JUST LIKE BURNOUT!

[Protoman Blues]

That looks like a lot of fun actually.
