I was hoping for a new Star Wars game to be released, and sure enough, the trailer for Star Wars: The Old Republic was beautiful.
That and the assasin's creed trailer were stunning. Sadly you don't get to play the CG ..lol. And I have a sour taste from the first creed game (too repetitive too easy.... rent not a pre-order as I stupidly did *facepalm) and an irritated twitch that the starwars game is a fucking MMO instead of KOTOR 3. First Banjo threeie is turned into a weird racing thing-a-majig (not sure what to call it really...) and then bioware told us that instead of a putting new graphics and maybe some decent fight mechanics on a new RPG they are going to try and have a pissing contest with WoW to see which company can create more sad peon/cretins. At the same time though if the service were free (or amazingly cheap..which I DOUBT) then I at least would want to give the thing a try...even with my whole anti-mmo feelings. Speaking of which when the fuck is Jade Empire 2 gonna come out -.-
Finally, someone is talking some sense in here.
on the reals, I just finished looking at goodies on XBL...DEAR GOD, SO MUCH SHIT! Halo Reach...What is it? Some kind of Multiplayer toothbrush? Facebook, Twitter, games on demand, HD movies, avatar marketplace, Movie party support all on mah Xbox!?...goddamn.
Facebook is MHEE who cares really. Same deal with twitter. Games on demand is just a money making scheme...I'm SURE of it. Now if they put gamefly online.. ... that would be a diff. story :P Avatar Marketplace is cashing in on all the ppl that are stupid enough to do something like buy outfits for fighting games -.- but good for MS on that I guess... they don't DESERVE their money..lol. I DO however wonder how the movie party stuff is gonna work. That would be neat to get to watch a movie with my bro in NOR-cal my friends on the East coast and my sista from anotha mista in So Cal all at the same time and get to talk about it easily.
Milo is actually interesting from an academic view. It wouldn't necessarily make for an interesting game. But, provided that something like that actually worked and wasn't just a ton of pre-scripted events, it would be huge.
I agree. But I also have a huge feeling a LOT of that was scripted :( And if it wasn't it also scares me a tiny tiny bit in a good humored sort of way..lol. Great timing for the most recent Terminator to come out :P That being said it def. seems like it something that could be great for teaching purposes and online classes where you are "actually" there and the teacher is "actually" there like they show in the futuristic movies...lol. As a gaming device I see it merely being a kinda sad gimmick unless it has a LOT more power than I think it has. And I don't think all the lazy ppl playing videogames after a day at school or work are gonna want to go through a full body workout to play a fighter or an action adventure with less precision than if they used a controller. I know I wouldn't.
Only genre I see potential much in is sports titles (already done) and RPG games. Come on.. who WOULDN'T want to actually have some kind of advanced conversation with your squad mate while you are walking through some boring ass swamp waiting for some random mech or monkey or whatever to attack :)
WHAT I AM REALLY WAITING FOR though:
-More vids of the Batman game. I am loving what I'm seeing but I am very very skeptical of anything based off comics/movies/etc.
-Mass Effect 2 vids....would be nice
-Announcement of a new Zelda in the lines of OoT and TP. I'd fucking buy a Wii JUST for that game if I had to ... ..lol. Hell.. if it weren't for the fact that TP came out for gamecube I already would have a wii.
-some shiny surprise from MS? maybe something special from Rare?
-ppl to realize that all these "new" bungie games all around halo are just the company beating a dead horse. The graphics and seemingly the gameplay and everything are just a re-hashed version. I'm not buying the bullshit and the story is starting to get old.
