Last year's conference convinced me to buy a 360. This years' just made me love it more! The Beatles opening was cool, not a fan though. Tony Hawk Ride looks innovative. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 looks AMAZING. Didn't play the first one, but now I got a reason to. Final Fantasy XIII has rekindled my love for the series. Looks like 10 and 12 combined. Shadow Complex looks like a cool retro shooter. Joy Ride, meh. Crackdown 2 and Left 4 Dead 2 are just big teases. At least L4D 2 is only months away. Splinter Cell Conviction looked better than all other ones in the series. Forza Motorsport 3, meg. Halo 3 ODST and Halo Reach looked ok. ALAN WAKE FTW. About time some gameplay has been shown. I'm looking forward to playing that next year. Facebook and Twitter on 360, pretty good. Sony gets screwed again as Kojima announces Metal Gear Solid: Rising for the 360. Bye-bye to another Sony franchise huh? Project Natal = MUCH better EyeToy. Looks amazing; voice and facial recognition.
Overall, Microsoft did an amazing job this year. I'll go more in depth later this week, but they definitely are bringing their A game. A+ press conference.
So, no new Capcom game yet? Hmmm, looks like it's Sony or Nintendo's game.
No shows at the press conference = Mass Effect 2, Dead Rising 2, and Lost Planet 2.
Mass Effect 2 looks great. One of my favs from the EA Conference. Ubisoft's was really boring. James Cameron was talking forever! I fell asleep, and he was still talking! Assassin's Creed 2 ended the show with a great cinematic trailer. I can't wait to play that game. I'm mad that they didn't show more of No More Heroes 2. All they said that they were publishing it; no videos or anything. Overall, both companies press conferences were average. Both had parts I didn't care about (Girl's Club and Your Shape). It was cool to see Joel Mchale though.
The Big N and Sony's press conferences are today at 12 and 2, respectively. Microsoft has set the bar high, with announcements of MGS:R and sequels to already established hits. Nintendo needs to show some big titles today. Any new Zelda, Mario, or any other established Nintendo game will do. Unfortunately, I won't catch the whole conference live, but they save the best announcements for last right? So I hope that the big game announcement is at the end, which I know it will. Sony just got a slap in the face from Kojima, so they have to show some exclusive games for their console. MAG, God of War 3, and another game from Insomniac would be good. And when I say GOW3, I mean gameplay of it. A live demo would suffice. (Sigh) I have to get through this day first to see these press conferences. I gotta present my podcast today and I think I go 2nd, so the bar will be risen for me. Damn. Oh, well, tell you how that goes later.
