My Impressions on XBox 360's E3 Press Conference

Wow... That sucked.
As expected, Kinect (AKA Natal) took all the spotlight with long and boring minutes of showing "games" (Notice the quotes) I don't care about like fitness crap and a game where little kids can interact with a virtual pet in their TV - (That was kinda creepy by the way) - among other presentation showing how you can talk to your XBox to activate things.

With Kinect you'll be able to control movies, music and other stuff by pointing at the TV or, TALKING TO YOUR XBOX 360! That's right! pushing a simple PAUSE button is so boring and archaic. Why not pause your movie by saying "Xbox, Pause!".

Oh and watch carefully during Ubisoft's fitness game presentation. There is actually a 0.5 to 1.0 second delay between the girls real movements and her movements in the game translated by Kinect. Kinda slow if you ask me.
Also notice on how they are always standing when using Kinect. I'm guessing the thing only works when you are standing. Not when sitting.

What a load of crap! : P
If you are not a casual gamer, while you're watching all those boring Kinect demonstrations, you will be wondering: "Where are my games!?" Well guess what, you can stop watching the conference after the first few minutes because all the "core" games are there. The remaining hour is all about boring Wii-like games using Kinect. It's like 20% Gamer Games and 80% Casual Gamer Crap.
The "Future of Gaming" is jumping and waving around in front of your TV. Yup. Why go outside?

Oh and who said that the hardcore games had to be First-Person Shooter? I don't care about Call of Duty and Halo!

Metal Gear Solid Rising looked great though. Only good point of the conference.

Looks like I'll still be using my X360 for Bullet Hell Shooters  ( :

Oh and there is a new model of the X360 coming out like... RIGHT NOW!
Quieter, slimmer, less ugly. With built-in Wi-Fi and a 250 Gb HDD.
At the same price as the old one.

Meh...



MMU Tiny update: Working on a Debug Stage to develop all the features of the game and the engine. Working on pictures for cutscene. I'll re-make some of the graphics for the intro of the game too.
