I don't know why people are acting so surprised, Press Briefings at E3 are less about showcasing games and consoles and more about PR bullshit. Get use to it, its been like that for over a decade now.

 

[jimbo]

I'm trying to figure out how you guys can see the games. Because everything is a blurry mess for me.

 

[Wraith]

How do you make some titles BC and others not, I think you guys misinterpretted what he said. ALL titles will be BC.

Nice video there showing

They've been very careful so far to only promise "top games" rather than total BC. I don't think this is a misinterpretation.

 

[human5892]

Ugh, he's detailing the philosophy behind the shell of the damn console. This is painful.

 

[Fixed2BeBroken]

So far, Allard's wardrobe choice is the best thing about this conference.

:lol his wardrope is interesting

 

[gamergirly]

...did he just say 1 billion people?

Yup.

10,000,000 in first year

100,000,000 in 2nd

150,000,000 in 3rd

200,000,000 in 4th

250,000,000 in 5th

340,000,000 in 6th

There you go :lol

 

[olimario]

The ps3 is stunning. The XBOX 360 just seems to primitive in comparison.

 

[PhatSaqs]

DOA4 looks like Xbox 1 game.

New XBL stuff looks hot.

 

[CabbageRed]

They get bonus points on my score card for risking an actual demonstration.

 

[byproduct]

Kameo looks hot from that brief little glimpse.

LOL he's sitting on the floor now!

 

[MIMIC]

Kameo is on

 

[shpankey]

i am ashamed to be an xbox fan right now. this is getting sad.

 

[6.8]

Sitting down is totally Xbox.

 

[human5892]

Detailing gamer profile stuff now, showed Kameo very briefly

 

[JoshuaJSlone]

Just said "Xbox 360 will be backwards compatible with the top selling Xbox titles."

WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?

Sega fans are shit out of luck?

 

[SKluck]

God I hate this community obsession. Not everyone has the time to deal with all this bullshit.

 

[Sho Nuff]

XBOX IS BOMBA LOL AM I RITE?

The thing is, this in-game friend list interface shit is really fucking dope. I wonder if Sony will have it together to make something similar. I doubt it, judging by the segmented garbage that is the PS2 online experience... it seems like all the sony teams are working AGAINST each other.

 

[BarneyBP]

First Penny-Arcade notes that most of Microsoft's Xbox powerups resemble Pirates and now J. Allard's motto is "Not all treasure is silver and gold"

 

[ocelittle]

CASUAL GAMERS SIT DOWN, THAT'S HOW I WANT TO BE!!!

 

[The Interrobanger]

He's made it sound as if the Xbox 360 featured the first wireless controller EVER.

 

[trmas]

Allard is at least casual. Sitting on the stage is freaking cool - guy is a pacer though

 

[shpankey]

DUM DUM DUUUUMMMMMM! xbox live to save the day!!!

 

[Jesiatha]

7 Hand Poker?

Woohoo! :lol

 

[siege]

This Xbox Live gamer card stuff is gonna be pretty inviting for the competitive crowd. Too bad I could give a shit less about it.

 

[Fixed2BeBroken]

thats it, i give up on this horrible feed.

burn in hell MS

 

[MIMIC]

"1 billion people. That's a big number, but I know we can do it."

 

[human5892]

Aim is to connect over half of 360 consoles to Live

 

[methodman]

LMFAO A BILLION?!?!?

What a crack head. And I thought Dave Chappelle went looney. This guy should go to the "Dave Chappelle Freakout Tent"

 

[Hitler Stole My Potato]

I feel like someone is trying to sell me a time share.

 

[radrelic]

ok the stream has become unwatchable now.

God damn it

 

[Cerebral Palsy]

XBL looks really cool!

Now we can have spectators during our Madden 360 leagues!? Sweet

 

[Sho Nuff]

lol...it's STRIKER

 

[Ford Prefect]

Oh man, Striker is hardcore!

 

[byproduct]

It's clear Xbox Live is the 360's big advantage over PS3.

 

[3rdman]

i am ashamed to be an xbox fan right now. this is getting sad.

Dude, LOL, relax. The specs are there, its just a matter of people taking advantage of it. If DOA4 was the only thing available, then you'd have something to worry about.

 

[shpankey]

'Striker' ::cringe:: - Good Lord the cornball level is rising!

 

[VALIS]

i am ashamed to be an xbox fan right now. this is getting sad.

Jesus, dude. I heard you the first five times. Is it the DOA4 footage that has you bummed? I couldn't see it on the stuttery, pixellated feed myself. Must look like poop based on the reactions here.

 

[Hitler Stole My Potato]

360 was made for STRIKER!


IN STRIKER I TRUST

 

[human5892]

Ugh, there's no question about it -- they're seriously aiming for one billion consoles sold.

 

[Fixed2BeBroken]

ok the stream has become unwatchable now.

God damn it

yea, its a waste of time.

4 seconds of footage...BAM buffer for 15 seconds....4 seconds of footage...BAM buffer for 15 seconds....2 miliseconds of audio....(connecting......) BUFFER AGAIN!!!

 

[APF]

DOA: same as leaked screens, but nice in an Xbox 1.5 kind way; interaction with the environments is cool: playing in traffic, looks like you can jump off walls and stuff (hard to tell from crappy stream)...

Xbox Live: love the UI, features. Hate this profiling of archetypal gamers thing they're doing now...

 

[ocelittle]

XBL is free?!?!

DAYUM...

 

[Barrage]

How can Microsoft say they're aiming for different demograpics, but then continue to focus on Xbox Live, which appeals squarely to their oh-so-feared 18 to 31 demographic? What is an 8 year old girl or a 51 year old man going to do with Xbox Live?

 

[SKluck]

VelocityGirl has a 2/5 reputation. :lol

 

[methodman]

OMG TEXAS HOLD EM... HOLY SHIT!

BETTER FUCING BE FRE>E>E>EEEEEEEEEEEEEeee

 

[Sho Nuff]

VELOCITY GIRL vs STRIKER

FIGHT!

btw, as awesome as XBL is, I can't get excited about X360, and that pains me, being so gay for Xbox 1 and all

 

[EclipseGST]

live arcade taking a step further.

 

[Gio_CoD]

There's going to be a wave of suicide in Washington tonight.

 

[MoccaJava]

LOL, about girl gamers:

"But video games aren't a central part of her existance." :lol

 

[byproduct]

Expanded Live Arcade - mentioned 4 player Gauntlet and Bejeweled 2 and card games - idea is to get more casual gamers.
