Microsoft Press Conference Live Chat

Did MS announce any Xbox 360 games?

Killer Instinct was the only n64 game I regretted buying. It was pish! One of my mates loved it though. He just liked watching the stupidly massive combos.

My thoughts on Killer Instinct in a nutshell.

['Press Start']

Killer Instinct was well over rated in my opinion. Rare are not even developing this one either, Double Helix is developing this Killer Instinct:-

Double Helix is the US developer of Silent Hill: Homecoming, Front Mission Evolved, the Green Lantern and Battleship games.
Studio head Patrick Gilmore said the game's characters feature "some of the most advanced technology ever in a fighting game".
"All the cloth in Jago's costume is simulated, to dynamically animate, wrinkle and respond as the fighter moves. Sabrewulf has an elaborate fur system, and Glacius uses multiple layers of transparency and refraction, along with tens of thousands of physics-colliding shards to depict his ice armor and constructs."
He continued: "It's been a thrilling labor of love for Double Helix. We've always had way more than our share of combat designers and fighting experts at the studio. The opportunity to bring one of gaming's legendary franchises back to fans has been both inspiring and daunting.

I went into this E3 with the 'no to Xbox' attitude, now it's 'even more no' .

AI fish and elaborate fur system, ***k off.

And you forgot COD has a dog now

I thought VAT (20%) was calculated at the full price (429), not a fraction of it?

You don't pay 20% VAT of something you buy, you pay for something then pay 20% of that in VAT


If you buy something for ?10, it's not ?10 -20%.

It's ?8.33 then 20% of that.

And you forgot COD has a dog now

Yeah, the dog will be able to put the player in highly charged emotional situations like never before. You will have to shoot the dog to put it out of it's misery. No doubt it will get trapped in some rubble and instead of dying a slow death your pistol will hover over the dogs head and the player will have to press R.

Or the dogs hind legs will get smashed and you will have to hammer A to drag yourself along some dramatic set piece, like when Snake is crawling through the microwave room in MGS4.

You just summed up the stupidity of modern games-that-wish-they-were-movies in one post

Now the dust has settled, it is clear the PS4 has won E3. (Price, Performance, DRM and Used Games)

However, what are the exclusives that will attract core gamers to Xbox One over PS4?

[J0e Musashi]

Three words. Third console curse / close this thread.

As much as it's not a big deal for me Halo will always turn heads. I actually think they did show some decent stuff, should they U-Turn hard on the DRM stuff, they can still pull it all back...

[Brad]

It's clear now that the DRM stuff wasn't EA or Activision's doing. It was all Microsoft.

Exactly...

So my thoughts were: If MS has the games, and has the financial muscle, then it's not impossible to do the following:

"Dear gamers. We got it wrong. We know it & we are sorry. We have decided to fix it."

Xbox One: New price = xxx
Xbox One: Available offline for Single Player games
Xbox One: Used games can be traded just like the 360
Xbox One: No need to be online

If they did that, then the console war would be back on....

Yeah, looks really bad on them considering they've come out and said it's up to the third parties essentially. I'm assuming whilst they didn't set a fee they will still take a cut I assume???

It's all shameless money grabbing crap.
