[schuelma]

And we thought Wii was a bad name. This is just horrid.

 

[KZObsessed]

Worst E3 ever.

*nods*

*cries*

 

[Cosmonaut X]

So Mario Kart, Wii Sports, Just Dance, Nintendogs and some licensed tat.

Fair enough.

Mm. My thoughts entirely, though unless there's something incredible about the implementation I can't see these being as successful as the games you list.

EDIT:

...and Kinectimals sounds like some great, lost '80s cartoon series promoting a range of Japanese toys

 

[Amir0x]

Wow hey the actual games revealed sound even more terrible than the LA Times shit.

So I'll repeat what I said there:

Oh hey what do you know shallow novelty games (tech demos?) no more elevated than Eye Toy diversions trying to eek out a living on Wii's grandma-and-grandpa casualware market.

I can no more get excited for these "games" (tech demos?) then I can about the tax code. More games for people who hate games. Sorry, Microsoft, I'm a hardcore gamer.

 

[outunderthestars]

is ti just me, or does USA Today seem to always leak information the day before E3?

Why do companies keep giving USA Today early access to information and products?

 

[Wes]

in soccer, you can kick the ball or do a header.

In the French version you can also use your hands.

 

[Mrbob]

Kinectimals? :lol

GOTG.

 

[sprsk]

The future is ...Wii Sports

 

[_Bro]

PET. FUCKING. LION.

WORTH THE PRICE

 

[Kilrogg]

They're saving their killer app for the conference, right?

 

[lordfroakie]

There goes Joyride being free

 

[JordanLMiller]

:lol

 

[AceBandage]

Kinect Sports?
Really?

 

[Deadly Cyclone]

I have seriously always wanted to choke a lion with my bare hands....

 

[Zilch]

I don't understand why people are being so harsh on this.

 

[alr1ght]

 

[MrDaravon]

Kinectimals :lol :lol

Star Wars stuff might be interesting, but this is all super casual stuff not really for us, so whatever.

I don't understand why people are being so harsh on this.

Because this is GAF and people are gut-reacting without comprehending that this is the casual push going along with tonight's events, and not all of the games, nor the games they'll be pushing for the GAF crowd.

 

[lockload]

So from what i understand natal is called 'Kinect?

 

[GDGF]

This is going to be an interesting E3 :lol

...On the other hand, sounds like they might have snagged that Starwars lightsaber game everybody with a Wii wanted.

 

[panda21]

did microsoft hire the people who came up with ngage and gizmondo and give them free reign over the 360 or something?

KINECTIMALS and a smashed dvd player looking thing are the spoils of this beautiful union

 

[Diablos54]

Kinectimals? What the fuck MS, seriously? KINECTIMALS!? :lol :lol :lol

In the French version you can also use your hands.

:lol :lol

 

[Revolutionary]

Dance Central is going to be awesome

 

[Kaeru]

Someone please post the raft-gifs from the "move" thread.

 

[Kolgar]

There should be a voice-recognition game where contestants try to come up with a better name than Kinect and the answers go straight to MS HQ.

 

[Escalation]

No cooking?

 

[wrowa]

Kinectimals? In other words: Our personal GAF leaker was right

 

[Manus]

Ugh, now I'm not excited for their conference.

 

[Kazuma Kiryu]

well ms tried to stop the leaks.

 

[EmCeeGramr]

MICROCATS

 

[dralla]

i dont get it, what did you guys expect from launch games? halo natal?

 

[KingDizzi]

•Joyride, a racing game, lets players use their hands to hold an imaginary steering wheel — pull your hands toward you and push back out for an acceleration boost — and their bodies to execute jumps and tricks.

.........some genres are just not for motion control. :/

 

[Crisis]

So um. They're showing regular 360 games plus some surprises to compliment this horse shit, right?

 

[lockload]

Kinectimals :lol :lol

Star Wars stuff might be interesting, but this is all super casual stuff not really for us, so whatever.

It will give some an excuse to buy a 360 'for the family' and play COD at night:lol

 

[FrankT]

•Kinectimals lets you train and play with 20 different virtual cats, including a lion, cheetah and tiger.

Kids will eat this up.

•Joyride, a racing game, lets players use their hands to hold an imaginary steering wheel — pull your hands toward you and push back out for an acceleration boost — and their bodies to execute jumps and tricks.

I don't like what has happened here.

•Kinect Sports has six activities including boxing, bowling, beach volleyball, track and field, soccer and table tennis. To serve a volleyball, you mimic the real motion; in soccer, you can kick the ball or do a header.

Yes!

•Kinect Adventures includes a river-raft time trial and obstacle course, playable by up to four players. On the raft, playing as a duo, you and a partner must lean one way or another to steer. Jumping helps the raft reach special areas for extra points.

Yea saw this earlier and perfect for the fam.

•Dance Central, in development by MTV Games, brings a So You Think You Can Dance experience home.

Again kiddy stuff.

•Star Wars characters and iconic Disney favorites will be featured in separate new games being developed at Microsoft in conjunction with LucasArts and Disney.

Got to see it really.

Oh yea old man was right!

Also where be the price?

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

Kinectimals? In other words: Our personal GAF leaker was right

Link to that?

 

[Sai-kun]

Connect 'em All's

:lol :lol, Jesus.

 

[pharmboy044]

Holy fuck! Where are the hardcore games?

 

[Hot Coldman]

Dance Central is going to be awesome

:lol :lol :lol

Sums up this list of games too, funnily enough.

 

[WanderingWind]

It's like they're not even trying to hide their self-disgust. "Fuck, it. Make a virtual petting zoo. Call it Kinectimals for all I care. I'm going home to drink myself to death. Bye."

 

[Sydle]

Name is good. Better than Oculus.

I want Joyride, the adventure game, and the sports game. I'm curious to see what Microsoft is doing with Disney.

 

[sweetvar26]

Lame.

 

[GQman2121]

It's a bit odd that they don't mention in the opening paragraph that it's a camera for the 360. The author instead chooses to call it a "Its new system for the Xbox 360". If I wasn't already in the know, I would be confused.

 

[watkinzez]

So, the bad name confirms Kinectimals as Rare's game?

 

[Mrbob]

Worst E3 ever.

Looking that way if all we see from Sony and MS is the FUTURE IS MOTION.

 

[mrWalrus]

Kinect to the Future! :lol

 

[brandonh83]

I have seriously always wanted to choke a lion with my bare hands....

I'd rather go to Kenya and wander into a lion's den naked with a juicy bloody slab of zebra leg strapped to my stomach and try it myself before playing this shit

 

[MightyHedgehog]

Sounds alright to me. Kinectimals is silly, of course, but otherwise nothing too bad.

 

[V_Ben]

:lol

 

[Acheteedo]

Disney and MS making deals, eh? Eyes on Epic Mickey.

 

[Deadly Cyclone]

i dont get it, what did you guys expect from launch games? halo natal?

This.

None of this surprises me, I knew it was a more casual-oriented product and thus would have casual games.
