Looking at the OP, why is XCOM there? Is it now an XBox exclusive or something?

It was only announced for 360 and PC. I'd say it'll come to PS3 as well. Doesn't seem like a game that Microsoft would pay for exclusivity.

It's a 360/PC game, no PS3 version announced. Most likely MS will carry some of the PR for the game.

May we be forever eager and forever dissatisfied this year at E3.

Once again, the stickers are not announcements. They only show the "universe" of the 360, just like the catchphrases. They've already done this, one or two years ago and maybe not even for E3.

Exactly, those are not announcements. Every sticker can be traced back to an already announced or even released game. It's unlikely that any of the new stuff is shown there.

Ya. From Frankie:
The agency who made these simply wants attendees to put the stickers on their E3 badges to identify with a favorite Xbox motif. It has nothing to do with anything.

Sowwy.

Like I said earlier:

You don't reference Lara Croft and Star Wars without having something to show. Despite being decent games, Underworld and The Force Unleashed are not games you remember nostalgically.

Batman is another one that will probably be shown and feature some sort of exclusivity. You don't put a game that's predecessor was marketed as Playstation game on your invite without taking "ownership" of it.

A price cut would go a long way to get me to get another Xbox, my gf has been pestering me to play dance central, I thought she'd be over it by now, but since she just played it over her friend's house, it just fueled the fire more.

I hope their conference isn't bogged down in majority by "features" like the ESPN thing, and kinect stuff too long. Time to show off the games!

Star Wars is going to be Star Wars Kinect which should be one of the main games Microsoft will use with their initiative to push Kinect Sensors to the hardcore masses.

core, not hardcore

Star Wars Kinect will be used for its broad appeal, just like with the SW Lego games from years ago.

Both Tomb Raider reboot and Kinect Star Wars are already announced.

Also, look a few posts above.

You don't have to announce games at e3 to show them. There's a reason those games were picked regardless of the announcement.

At the very least, Tomb Raider and Batman are getting some co-marketing from microsoft.

don't make bullshit up (co-marketing with Batman and Tomb Raider etc).

an agency was asked to do something nice with the xbox universe and they came up with the stickers idea. the end.

I'm not making it up. I'm predicting.

We've already seen Arkham City at a Microsoft event and Tomb Raider Underworld had 360 exclusive DLC. It's not a reach to assume that there's a probability of something like that happening.

Surprising really. It looked really good during last year's E3, here's hoping they haven't dumbed it down to include Kinect controls.
Click to expand...
Doubtful. With Kinect controls being optional, it'll likely be voice commands and, possibly, hand gestures for team mates. I doubt it'll effect the core controller gameplay that much.

Wow neat idea, can't wait to see the demo on the stage of Microsoft E3 Press Conference. :D

This could be exciting way to deliver Hardcore Kinect Games on the existing Multiplatform titles, now with the new tag "BETTER with KINECT" hahah. The new exclusive model for Microsoft.
Click to expand...
Well we do have 3D and Move as exclusive features, so this will make shit more intresting.

i hope they use voice-commands + hand gestures. when you point your hand at the screen, a marker/cursor comes up (like the cursor in child of eden), you aim at a certain area and tell your team to go there/kill the enemy/scout the area.

Answered above. The stickers don't have anything to do with anything. It's just marketing fun so attendees can put cool stuff on their badges.

Oh... god... don't tell me that purple shit is going to be plastered all over every game now.

That's what I was saying pretty much in the topic that revealed the boxart.. Some thought I was overreacting but considering the hideous nature of that purple and band clusterfuck of ugly anyone has a right to bitch about this if it means all games that get a sniff of kinect support get slapped with this shit.

Are you reading this MS? Major turnoff lol


This is in bargain bin territory of boxart judgment at the moment.

So should I be buying a Kinect or what? Maybe I should buy Dark Souls on 360 instead of PS3 to support core games
and achievements :(
. Hate that boxart gets pushed in favour of advertising but hey, most boxarts are shit so I will probably print out some nice GAFart at some point for my whole collection.

boxartlgfk4x.jpg



and here is the product summary that was there, info about mp, number of maps, missions, weapons etc is new I think:

Why would you need Kinect for voice commands?
Click to expand...

You would if it uses Kinect's speech recognition because it's not only about hardware. Ubisoft is experienced in that area, but Kinect's is supposedly very robust when it comes to accents and so on.

So "better with kinect" is the new meme for E3?
Click to expand...

We've seen it already a year ago, it shouldn't be that surprising.


Anyway, Champion Jockey should probably be added to the list of confirmed games.

So how can you be tired of it then? You can hardly be tired of Kinect announcements either seeing as there haven't been many since it's launch.
Click to expand...
Last years press conference was enough for me. I'm not a big fan of motion control, and the games that I have seen so far do not impress me. We'll see what they show at E3, but I will continue to want to play games with a controller far more than full body motion sensing.
