My E3 Thoughts – MONDAY

Thought I’d blast down some of my thoughts on this year’s E3, just so I can look back one day and realise what a load of shit I talk.
1. Kinect is a terrible, terrible name. Just terrible.
2. The Microsoft Conference was a total bust. If you’re only showing a few sequels, a (brilliant looking) multiformat game, and a load of Wii retreads, you’re in trouble.
3. Using Kinect to navigate the Xbox dashboard looks r e a l l y s l o w
4. A Need for Speed Hot Pursuit game, developed by Criterion is GREAT NEWS.
5. Also great news is a VIETNAM expansion for Battlefield 2: Bad Company
6. Giving new Xboxes to every paid journo in the audience of the Microsoft Conference felt a bit crass. If I was one of those journos, I’d be gifting it to a children’s hospital or something.
That’s it so far!
“If I was one of those journos, I’d be gifting it to a children’s hospital or something.”
I remember you keeping all that Rockstar stuff they wanted you to give away as a prize.
That was a joke! It was a gift to us.
The voice navigation isn’t really going to catch on is it? Even if it was really responsive I think people’d rather wave their hands like a loon.
Highlight of E3 other than Portal 2!
