[QUOTE=EcksDee;36197114]About as good/bad.[/QUOTE] Last years was more entertaining, this one was mostly just boring.
[QUOTE=Atlascore;36197106]Valve hasn't worked with EA for years.[/QUOTE] Uhm, I thought EA distributed Valve's retail copies?
[QUOTE=Scot;36197113]Did the GTTV stream turn to shit as soon as the conference started for anyone else? I had to switch to Gamespot which was much smoother.[/QUOTE] Gamespot works great for me. No lag and good quality.
[QUOTE=Atlascore;36197106]Valve hasn't worked with EA for years.[/QUOTE] EA publishes Valve's games retail.
oh lawd EAs turn
Oh shit I forgot, Rockstar will probably show more of GTA V, I can't wait for that.
Microsoft needs to learn, stop showing shit that nobody cares about for half the conference, it's bullshit.
That was so bad. [I]So bad[/I]. I mean, Microsoft has consistently been the worst conference at E3 for several years, but [I]jesus christ[/I], that was [I]So bad[/I].
[QUOTE=Scot;36197119]I'm pretty sure they said they were only having a booth, nothing else.[/QUOTE] Well there goes that hope.
Holy shit Microsoft was bad. :| Good thing we will get a new Valve or Bungie game super late in the Spike episode.
[QUOTE=Rocko's;36197130]Oh shit I forgot, Rockstar will probably show more of GTA V, I can't wait for that.[/QUOTE] Which conference could they be in though? If they weren't in Microsoft's, I can't really think of any other one they could be in.
[QUOTE=Rocko's;36197130]Oh shit I forgot, Rockstar will probably show more of GTA V, I can't wait for that.[/QUOTE] I think they would have done this at the Ms conference, but maybe the DLC First lols license expired.

I rate Microsoft's conference an F-. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jLKnCeeAW48[/media] Seriously, show this "OH SO SOCIAL AND PHONE AS A CONTROLLER!!!" and "MTV INTEGRATION AND YOU CAN CHECK THE FOOTBALL SCORES WHILE WATCHING A BORING FILM TOO!!!!" and "EGGSBOX MSUIC!!" at CES, I doubt any gamers are interested in this.
[QUOTE=mac338;36197122]Last years was more entertaining, this one was mostly just boring.[/QUOTE] Usher's moves were pretty entertaining. The 'unknown enemies' shtick Halo 4 got going is pretty nice. Forza Horizon gave me a nice Need for Speed The Run vibe. Lococycle was only a trailer but I'll prolly check it out. Tomb Raider, while an uncharted clone to the end, looks fun. And all the shooters, Splinter Cell included, look like fun. They may not be innovative, but fun.
Hey, Microsoft: [video=youtube;5e_dJHLsuPM]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5e_dJHLsuPM[/video]
[QUOTE=simkas;36197145]Which conference could they be in though? If they weren't in Microsoft's, I can't really think of any other one they could be in.[/QUOTE] Sony most likely, or in their own booth.
It was like watching last year's conference it was almost the same thing in summary

I dunno I'm excited for BLOPS2 and I loved the first one. Facepunch just seems to hate every COD after MW1. Just to clarify, I'm not a big COD fan, and I agree that the modern warfare squeals were just rehashes and reused content. But that BLOPS2 game play did not feel like that to me.
[QUOTE=Arvuti;36197133]Microsoft needs to learn, stop showing shit that nobody cares about for half the conference, it's bullshit.[/QUOTE] when the guy showing the smartglass thing said "i know you guys like cars", i thought to myself "yeah that's why i'm watching a videogame convention conference"
[QUOTE=Jackald;36197139]It's amazing; they managed to make call of duty look even less visually appealing with their amazing innovative "BROWN(tm)" color palette.[/QUOTE] While the color palette wasn't the beautiful rainbow of colors you see in a realistic urban warzone ( :rolleyes: ) I saw some decent lighting effects there. Considering you know. Quake 3 engine.
[QUOTE=Arvuti;36197133]Microsoft needs to learn, stop showing shit that nobody cares about for half the conference, it's bullshit.[/QUOTE] They wouldn't show this shit if no-one cared about it. Believe it or not, Facepunch is not the only demographic they're catering for.
If Valve would anounce HL3, or Episode 3, I think they would turn it into a suprise, not anounce a anouncement beforehand,.
[QUOTE=TurbisV2;36197179]when the guy showing the smartglass thing said "i know you guys like cars", i thought to myself "yeah that's why i'm watching a videogame convention conference"[/QUOTE] Now that's a silly thought. You can like cars and video games.
I had literally ZERO interest in any of the shit Microsoft showed. At all.
Yeah can't say there was anything really interesting in the Microsoft conference.
I'm normally a blatant Call of Duty shill, but BLOPS 2 looks [I]bad[/I].
EA: Crysis 3 BF3 valve maybe? Ubisoft: future soldier raving rabbids Sony: KH3 hopefully valve maybe? Nintendo: Pikmin 3 Luigi's mansion 2 hopefully a new Smash bros even. Unless these "world exclusive preview" games are really good and not like the 3 shown in microsoft's conference, or if Valve does appear. Nintendo has a chance to be the least boring press conference. Though I think if sony reveals KH3, that will be the best.
That keynote was a fucking trainwreck.
