Microsoft E3 2006 Conference Thread

Moore said it will be available on the "first day". Meaning: it will be available on X360 the same day it is available on PS3. This is still huge for MS simply because they won't be 6+ months behind.

The fact that MS is getting GTA without Sony having an exclusive timeframe is huge.
So what if it's still coming out on PS3.
Name the PS3 exclusives that truly mean anything to North America at this point.
Final Fantasy lost me with X...
Metal Gear... great franchise, but I won't spend over $700 to play it.
My decision is done. Wii + 360....
Maybe a PS3 after SEVERAL price cuts, and plenty of "Greatest Hits."

you are not north america. sorry. not damage controlling anything here. I agree with most that MS whipped sony in conferences, but Metal Gear/FF/DQ are still huge in NA.

I dunno, I have a feeling Rockstar will also pull "exclusive downloadable content" specific to Sony's network too :lol

Oh well. Just be happy you guys don't have to wait for a port.

The first Halo 2 trailer looked significantly better than the final game.

Well, as long as I'm not the only one who thinks so.

I'm sure there'll be a nice big sticker on the 360 version about it too.

So, in closing, thanks to Live Anywhere I went into E3 thinking I'd have to buy a PS3 for Wipeout and now I'm leaving thinking I have to buy a fucking PC for Live Anywhere.

God damn it. Mac FTL.

Well, I certainly don't regret the 360 purchase, lots of good exclusive content coming it seems. I'm already seeing good reasons to own all three again this gen, just like last time.

They say real-time running on an Xbox 360 using in-game assets. Make of that what you will.

We won't ruin the content of our short presentation by describing it frame by frame, but we will note that everything you're seeing here is being rendered in real-time on the Xbox 360, using the current version of our Halo 3 game engine. The HDR lighting, self-shadowing, GPU-run particle system and many other effects should make it intact (and more) to our final game.

how the hell do people come away from that conference with "GTA4 exclusive" and "2006" in their heads?

nice work from MS though, very nice.

I'm a Gears of War sceptic who just had his balls flattened

I'm tired of seeing people say "I've waited 11 years for this!"

Has it really been so awful to see Sony on top? They've done A LOT for videogaming in the last 10 years. Gaming reached a new level of cool that it just wasn't enjoying with Nintendo and Sega ruling the roost. I think had it not been for the Playstation, we'd still be seeing a bunch of games like fucking Boogerman, Bubsy, etc. Gaming might have even died from that kind of lame shit. Who knows.

That said, MS is handing out a real beating here. They're basically giving us all the shit we WANT to see. Who could ask for more? :)

I've waited 5 years ;) I love the PS1 era but didn't care for the ps2 era and hated their directions. Xbox gave me what i wanted and the 360 is giving me what i want. When MS gets stale I'll root for someone to knock them out too

As a big GTA fan I was hoping for GTA to be exclusive
for ps3 so they could take advantage of blu ray and the superior technology. :(
