"WE ARE WEARING PONCHOS WTF"

Edit: Dang it beaten.

 

[J-Rzez]

The proposed Slim looks/sounds awesome. This... not so much. E3 is going to be great this year.

Jeff Cannata's Twitter

gonna follow Cannata Aford's twit

 

[Diglet]

I dont see how ms think making a bad play on the word connect is a good name

 

[AndyD]

oh shi-

so much for no cameras.

 

[akachan ningen]

Damn.

Avatars to mimic the cirque du soleil on real time thanks to natal/kinetic. That would be an awesome display of the tech (if it works)

Is it possible that the footage on the screen is pre-recorded?

 

[Shard]

I guess the Kid's Choice Awards will break out at this event.

 

[-PXG-]

Does Kojima have any expression other than "boredom"?

Kojima would go back in time to the moment when God created the universe (or big bang), and still manage to look absolutely unimpressed.

 

[hyduK]

Really do not want.

The conference tomorrow better not focus on this, there needs to be some good surprises for the core gamer.

 

[Nif]

from Jeff Cannata's Twitter, WTF is going on there? :lol

Dan becomes a man (Scientology school)

 

[brandonh83]

why are they all wearing raincoats

no wonder Kinect is $189 it must come packed with a fucking slip'n'slide

 

[golem]

There's terrible potential for this to be awfully pretentious guff, especially now in light of the info we have... I guess as long as they don't start worshiping a natal unit on stage or something...

360 slim = 2001 obelisk
gamers = monkeys

 

[Neuromancer]

Oh man what the hell is going on

 

[gofreak]

According to Feep's twitter, MS is making everyone wear ponchos? WTF?! :lol

I guess they're gonna get wet?

 

[EmCeeGramr]

what is microsoft doing

Wowzers!

 

[Foil]

This E3 is going to provide so many laughs. :lol

 

[Boney]

According to Feep's twitter, MS is making everyone wear ponchos? WTF?! :lol

Ponchos are awesome sooo I don't a problem! Free ponchos with your Kinetic purchase!

 

[Sean]

what the hell with the ponchos :lol

 

[V_Ben]

This livestream sounds like a f*cking disneyland attraction. :lol

 

[gogojira]

LOL at people making fun of the name. It's fine. Wii sounded bad when it first came out. Kinect isn't great but not terrible either.

My problem with it is that every time I see it, I say kinetic thanks to the weird spelling.

 

[goldenpp72]

im scared

 

[Loudninja]

I guess the Kid's Choice Awards will break out at this event.

Someone is getting slime!

 

[AceBandage]

what is microsoft doing

Blowing a hundred million dollars in a single night?

 

[TheGreatDave]

I. Can't. Wait. For. The. GIFs.

 

[Blizzard]

why are they all wearing raincoats

no wonder Kinect is $189 it must come packed with a fucking slip'n'slide

My best guess is that they're going to aim a camera(s) at the audience and have it use color keying somehow to let the audience interact? :lol

 

[Matt_C]

Jeff Cannata's Twitter

I guess he Cannata afford the wait for the end of this event. :lol

 

[CrushDance]

what is microsoft doing

:lol At this point they can't surprise me any more.

 

[Ninja Kn1ght]

Disastrous debut for Natal...they have confirmed all of my worst fears about the device. Perhaps third parties can redeem it at E3.

 

[Nakazato]

Kojima would go back in time to the moment when God created the universe (or big bang), and still manage to look absolutely unimpressed.

:lol

 

[Shard]

Oh it's the circle of life.

 

[Psychotext]

Jesus... that must have cost a fortune.

 

[MikeE21286]

(from Feep's twitter)
wtf is up with this MS :lol

 

[gofreak]

I guess this is actually just a show? No play time? Or will that come after?

 

[-PXG-]

LOL at people making fun of the name. It's fine. Wii sounded bad when it first came out. Kinect isn't great but not terrible either.

Hey. I always thought the Wii was cool, even when the first announced the name and revealed the controller. This. This is just full blown RE-TAR-DED.

 

[jamaniek]

WTF?:lol

 

[Mandoric]

360 slim = 2001 obelisk
gamers = monkeys

So if the journos need ponchos for this, does that make them the frogs? :lol

 

[akachan ningen]

No one noticed Itagaki?

Lol at them in their cliques.... nerdy asians and cool asians.

Itagaki's not that nerdy.

 

[Kaldea]

Oh god, the Twitter pictures. :lol

 

[feel]

Are the ponchos for the orange team or green?? Someone tell the guys on the stream there's ponchos coming up ahead! :lol

edit- stream just got shutdown

 

[rpmurphy]

LOL at people making fun of the name. It's fine. Wii sounded bad when it first came out. Kinect isn't great but not terrible either.

A successful product's name is eventually good. A bad product's name is bad forever.

Lets see which category Kinect will end up in.

 

[Gareth Bale]

Looks like Edgeworth behind Kojima

hahaha get that! just started playing Ace Attorney on iphone

 

[strikeselect]

In the year 2000....

 

[metareferential]

Perhaps third parties can redeem it at E3.

Yeah, just like what happened with Wii's third parties.

Oh wait.:lol

 

[AzBat]

The ponchos are most likely for reflecting infrared? Maybe the audience gets to participate in a huge Kinect demo?

 

[sprsk]

So I guess Microsoft invited Gallagher

 

[Kaako]

This E3 will be fucking legendary. Seriously. :lol :lol

 

[Piper Az]

From the reaction here, it looks like people like controller gaming as is and fear any changes to it.

 

[sevenchaos]

what the hell with the ponchos :lol

For all the semen.

 

[AceBandage]

My best guess is that they're going to aim a camera(s) at the audience and have it use color keying somehow to let the audience interact? :lol

Probably a good guess, but man, I can see so much going wrong.
And really doesn't speak well about Natal's accuracy, that they have to wear bright reflective ponchos for it to work...
