Love Matt and Trey calling them out on this B.S.

[–]modestposer 46 points47 points ago

Leaps and bounds, the best thing to happen at this conference

[–]PeterStormare 0 points1 point ago

Sad, isn't it?

[–]rogersmith25 0 points1 point ago

Any chance that game will come to Wii U?

[–]floatablepie 16 points17 points ago

I wasn't able to watch the coverage, how did Matt and Trey factor in to this?

[–]wormwired 14 points15 points ago

"How many times have you been watching an episode of South Park and thought, I'd like to be able to watch this on my television, while hooked into my mobile device, which is being controlled by my tablet device, which is hooked into my oven, all while sitting in the refrigerator."

[–]LSU_Tiger_in_Iowa 1 point2 points ago

"Well, we're not doing that, we're doing a game. It's an RPG."

[–]ZapActions-dower 48 points49 points ago

They were there for the South Park RPG. They said something about being simultaneously connected to your tv, phone, wired into your tablet, your buzzer, and your oven, all while sitting in your refridgerator (paraphrasing of course.)

[–]TheAngrySpanker 5 points6 points ago

That sounded awfully sarcastic for some reason.

[–]ManningQB18 3 points4 points ago

They were there for the south park game. They made a joke about playing games from inside your refrigerator using a microwave, which is basically a small extension of what microsoft was already announcing

[–]FaroutIGE 1 point2 points ago

They basically walked on stage wearing nothing but corduroys. They went over to bill gates and accidentally the entire e3. Also, more explanations.

[–]WarTamil 2 points3 points ago

They said something like "Did you ever wish you could control your console from your smartphone from your tablet from your fridge?! Well...we can't do that!"

[–]ponyup -1 points0 points ago

they announced a south park game where it features "you" as a new member of the south park crew, but when they walked on stage they mocked microsoft and the projects they had announced previously.

[–]l4d4d4d 6 points7 points ago

Probably the only interesting part of the conference.

[–]Scathing_Unicorn 3 points4 points ago

I also found it ironic how short they kept their presentation, yet it was by far the best. You could tell they didn't really want to be there

[–]RequireS 7 points8 points ago

I love football. I love gaming. I don't give a shit about Joe Montana appearing or what he has to say at an E3 press conference.

Just get back to the games and new features and stop wasting my time with bullshit celebrity appearances.

[–]illuminerdi 6 points7 points ago

This is what MS fails to grasp about celebrity endorsements - put him in your ads or on your box quotes saying how authentic the gameplay is, don't have them show up at a press conference and awkwardly play (or pretend to, since it's always staged) your game and spout off some clearly scripted lines.

[–]rokkuranx 2 points3 points ago

And KINECT can control usher

[–]Dancing_Koala 0 points1 point ago

No-one can dance like me!...But you play some imitation game and BELIEVE you can dance like me!
Here, let me dance a full (promo) performance! See how good you can be if you play hard enough!

No? Then let me dance as robotic as the character models so I can give you a fleeting chance.

(WTB gif showing Usher dancing on stage robotic-like with game footage in the background)

Buy my album.

[–]link_yourself_smart 18 points19 points ago

It's like xbox doesn't know that TVs, computers, and gyms/outside exists.

"through the Magic of Kinect™, you can now browse the internet." It's like I'm really in 1995

"through the Magic of Kinect™, you can now watch this sports game on your TV." It's like I'm really in 1955

"through the Magic of Kinect™, you can now do pushups". It's like I'm really in 100,000 BC

[–]Usually_Never_Right 1 point2 points ago

On the browser topic; in their defense this has been the most requested feature to add to X-Box Live by a very vocal part of their consumers since its inception.

[–]What-A-Baller 14 points15 points ago

I think my biggest wish ever was for internet explorer to just die. Wasted a good few falling stars on that one.

[–]Gooberpatrol66 19 points20 points ago

If IE wasn't bundled with Windows, how the hell would you download Firefox or Chrome?

[–]Robin_Hood_Jr 2 points3 points ago

that's so meta

[–]nickdanger3d 0 points1 point ago

Presumably it would be bundled with another browser

[–]Gooberpatrol66 0 points1 point ago

What Microsoft should do is buy firefox and bundle it with Windows, without attempting to interfere with Mozilla's development. But that's just a pipe dream.

[–]Tedsville 0 points1 point ago

Open windows explorer - in the file path bar type 'ftp.mozilla.org' - drill down until you find the latest firefox installer. Drag, drop, double click.

[–]Gooberpatrol66 1 point2 points ago

Excellent. Now all we need is an easy way for the computer illiterate to do it.

[–]illuminerdi 0 points1 point ago

Sadly, you do make an excellent point, good sir.

I remember the early days of being on the internet in '94 and actually having to manually install Netscape FROM DISK in Windows 3.1 since you otherwise had no means by which to acquire it...

    [–]JBLikesHeavyMetal 0 points1 point ago

    Seriously. They need to stop saying everything is better with Kinect. Just do what a normal company would do and just walk away from your fuck-up like it never happened instead of forcing your clients to buy shitty hardware just to play your games.

    [–]Proditus 0 points1 point ago

    Kinect sold rather well actually. Leaps and bounds above expectations. It's currently what makes the 360 profitable at all.

    [–]JBLikesHeavyMetal 0 points1 point ago

    OK, I'm mad for slightly incorrect reasons. I'll revise.

    [–]Dravorek 2 points3 points ago

    it actually looked more like a hybrid of Boom Blox and Angry Birds

    [–]Justin007isback 1 point2 points ago

    It's almost as bad as that Wii music gear that was announced last (or two) E3s ago from Nintendo. It was like Rock Band without the buttons.

    [–]SugarFreeTurkey 1 point2 points ago

    I had to chuckle when she came out with those buttons placed right where her nips should be and started talking about "huge cannons"

    Argh! I know right. I blame Call of Duty for all this, the slew of these railroading action 'games'. They're getting more and more to be just slightly interactive cut-scenes.

    [–]link_yourself_smart 1 point2 points ago

    psssshhhhh. Fuck video games. I'm gonna listen to some Usher.

    -there's a platform for that.

    [–]Usually_Never_Right 1 point2 points ago

    Why blame Call of Duty when Resident Evil 4 was one of the innovators of this style? Yes it's been over used, but people forget how much we fucking loved it when RE4 did it all those years ago. Heralding it as one of the most immersive innovations in gaming in years.

    [–]stokleplinger 0 points1 point ago

    [–]Awkward_Hugs 20 points21 points ago

    What about when they have a full-blown Usher performance for no reason?

    [–]floatablepie 4 points5 points ago

    I suspect Usher liking money was enough of a reason for him.

    [–]Justin007isback 0 points1 point ago

    Oh I know. I read just yesterday that with all the Prometheus trailers out, unless you watch only one, you can start to peace the movie together and it's serious spoilers. Thanks for the 90 seconds clip from the middle of the movie!

    [–]IVI4tt 0 points1 point ago

    As in holy shit that is major spoilers. I'd managed to remain unspoiled and the bit shown by Micro$oft was the only bit in the film to make me emotional.

    Microsoft Logic: Why buy just a Wii-U when you could buy an Xbox 360, windows phone and a tablet?

    [–]Narconik 0 points1 point ago

    Because these are things people already have (replace Windows Phone with any generic smartphone or tablet). Its a great idea, but they will fumble it hard.

    [–]winemaster 2 points3 points ago

    Yeah I was actually surprised to hear Android and iOS mentioned there. I figured that was blasphemy at Microsoft.

    [–]MicFury 1 point2 points ago

    I have a Windows Phone and it's awesome. I hate my iphone4. Blah. No tablet, though. Nor an xbox.

    [–]everyZig 1 point2 points ago

    I love how they will support all three major mobile platforms, just the text description on the live blog made smart glass sound extremely cool, heck, i'd even consider getting a win7 phone for that if they dont screw it up.

    [–]Hight5 -1 points0 points ago

    Because these are things people already have

    Wrong.

    EDIT: To the idiots downvoting: Yes, everyone with an X Box is already in possession of or able to afford a tablet or smartphone just to use some shittily implemented rip-off of WiiU. You guys are absolutely right. ಠ_ಠ

    [–]Robin_Hood_Jr 0 points1 point ago

    the PS3 already tried to be the everything in 1 system, and that angle failed miserably. Can't believe Microsoft is committing to the same mistake.

    No Conker Bad Fur day 2.... no Banjo Threeie. No new exclusive that nobody saw coming or new IP's, just sequels to games released in the last 2 years or so ago and games we already knew that were coming were showed. I guess I'm staying in the Nintendo Hype Train.

    [–]ScreamingAloudInside 4 points5 points ago

    Only Nintendo knew how to fully utilize Rare properly. Microsoft gave up and last I heard Rare are butt monkey's making the Xbox avatar costumes and props.

    [–]Usually_Never_Right 1 point2 points ago

    Nintendo didn't even know how to fully utilize Rare, which is why nearly everyone that mattered at the company left long before Microsoft bought them and is probably why Nintendo was willing to let them go in the first place.

    Don't forget that Tomb Raider was previewed at LAST YEARS E3.

    [–]PeterStormare 2 points3 points ago

    Tomb Raider: Laras Fortune, Resident of Duty und Splinter Bay looked like the exact fucking game.

    Quicktime, 10 sec gameplay/ 20 second cutscene mix, EXPLOSIONS, BRUTAL MATURE TAKEDOWNS etc.

    The only halfway interesting game was this "balls will touch" thingy from the Pirates bloke.

    I guess this system isn't for hardcore gaming anymore.

    [–]aswan89 7 points8 points ago

    All a game system needs to be for 'hardcore' gamers is games. That's it. Microsoft doesn't make games so the only thing they can distinguish their system from others with is by making it more than a gaming machine. The xbox is microsofts living room platform that other MS products can latch on to.

    [–]bacon_nuts 12 points13 points ago

    Anymore? It's been like that for ages...

    [–]lnickelly 8 points9 points ago

    I'll wait till the conference is over but since its began literally its all sequels, entertainment shit i dont care about, and nothing original. Its so bland its like eating vanilla ice cream. Why the fuck is Usher dancing right now!?!?!?!?!?

    [–]Saint_of_Gamers 2 points3 points ago

    The only thing that was even remotely original is the South Park RPG, but even that doesn't seem like anything ground breaking. Don't get me wrong I'm looking forward to Halo 4, Splinter Cell and South Park, but those were literally the only things interesting from that press conference.

    [–]lnickelly 0 points1 point ago

    exactly, this is my point, only sequels and UN-original games.

    [–]bacon_nuts 0 points1 point ago

    Yeah. MS is ALWAYS like that. So dull...

    [–]lnickelly 0 points1 point ago

    they really dont know their fanbase.....

    [–]bacon_nuts 0 points1 point ago

    Nope they really don't, and they keep showing family stuff, really isn't who watches E3...

    [–]lnickelly 0 points1 point ago

    I just want to know who plans these things? Have they not done any research?

    [–]bacon_nuts 0 points1 point ago

    I don't know. I just think partly they don't actually have much else.. Microsoft seem to survive only on a few games which people play endlessly online, such as COD, Halo, and Gears, as well as a few sports games. The rest is just cashing in on casual games and clutching at any opportunity they can, it's like they are trying to focus on the 'entertainment suite' rather than a game console.

    [–]lnickelly 0 points1 point ago

    exactly, i dont understand why they are making the 360 into an entertainment console, i bought a GAME console because i wanted to play GAMES. If i wanted to watch Netflix i would watch it on my computer.

    [–]bacon_nuts 0 points1 point ago

    Yeah, the PS3 manages both pretty well, it has a lot of games, but then some of the other stuff that I still hardly ever use. Yeah I'd rather use my computer for most stuff, using a controller sucks for typing/mousing, and I don't want to speak at my box, it's just not practical while listening to music or late at night...

    [–]MoparMogul -2 points-1 points ago

    There's plenty there for hardcore gamers. It just simply isn't only for hardcore gamers anymore. It is an entertainment system, after all.

    They're merely marketing to a much larger audience then pimply basement dwellers, is all.

    [–]lnickelly 0 points1 point ago

    i know but stop it!!!!! the gamers want games for their video game console.

        [–]tubahornporn 4 points5 points ago

        Couple questions: Wouldn't the xbox glass have horrible lag? Considering it's waiting on the tablet's CPU, the transmission to the xbox, CPU on the xbox, then transmission back tot he tablet? And obviously do not trust these demos because there is behind the scenes processing for their displays. And even most is just premade video.

        [–]Knoxeh 4 points5 points ago

        Not at all, It is entirely possible.

        [–]Justin007isback 0 points1 point ago

        Most of the demos with tablet right at the beginning said "Tablet Idea Possibility" but in different words... basically it wasn't actually being controlled.

        [–]B504 0 points1 point ago

        This would be streaming via WiFi very close to the source. Any lag would be dismissible as the accepted inputs are trivial and the "game app" running wouldn't tax the tablet as it's just a simple menu and not an actual game. Saying this will be some source of tremendous lag is as shortsighted as saying playing PSP, DS, or smartphone games via WiFi produces crippling lag.

        The real issue is that there's no way in hell people will use this since it's too cumbersome to switch between controllers during gameplay. For example, with the play clock running in Madden, you're not going to be able to rest the controller, pick up the tablet, make adjustments, and then resume the game in time, especially if on defense when your opponent can just hurry to the line before you're ready. This is a neat idea in practice (loved playcalling through the VMU in NFL2K), but this just won't work in real life.

        [–]tubahornporn 0 points1 point ago

        No one would use wifi over blutooth.. It a hel of a lot slower and does lag. Usually it lags upwards of 300+ milliseconds due to packet sniffing and another Access point can cause simple interference..

        Distance does not make a difference in lag unless the signal strength is tempered. So when you say very close to the source, that same signal strength is probably seen upwards to 50 feet away if there are not obstructions in the way of the waves.

        Also, you have no idea what kind of processing is needed for this type of gameplay. Since tablets are dual (or quad core like motorola tablets), they do not run the same performance wise as your console. They run integrated graphics which allocates a specific amount of ram to graphics tasks instead of having the specialization of a seperate GPU (specialization can make a machine run faster like an assembly line would). Also, the app would have to conform to iOS and ICS with these multiple CPUs, so more than likely it would be a style of java that is not as easy to run on simple CPUs in real time.

        If you are playing a video game online a 150ms ping can be obvious, and it seems running this extra monitor set up and all the things I have pointed out are a killing factor to why this will probably not bid well.

        As Justin007isback well put, there is a reason the beginning said "Tablet Idea Possibility"

        Edit: Packet sniffing would be used to check things like battery value and such to be put on the main gaming monitor.

          Nah, they'll probably try a digital download service, which will somehow be perfect in every way aside from the small detail that nobody actually uses it, and few are even aware it exists. It'd be like if Google tried to have a social network, with a like button.

          Rockstar doesn't do E3 anymore

          [–]Yatterking 0 points1 point ago

          Rockstar hasn't attended E3 since the Hot Coffee incident 8 years ago.

          [–]Jackjoyce8 1 point2 points ago

          Halo 4, Splinter Cell and the South Park game looked good. Apart from that it was meh.

          [–]Sonic343 1 point2 points ago

          So, what, 6.5 games, and all crap?

          Fucking A MS.

          [–]Kratozio 1 point2 points ago

          Seriously, I have to give Black Ops 2 credit for ONE thing. NO FUCKING MENTION OF KINECT.

          [–]Yum_Cha85 1 point2 points ago

          Kinect turn off E3 Microsoft show, surf reddit to see comments.

          "Web browsing on consoles has always been slow..."

          "...that's why we're announcing Internet Explorer for Xbox"

          I burst out laughing.

          [–]Nrksbullet 0 points1 point ago

          Are they nuts? Everything but our microwave can browse the internet now, and quickly...why are they still trying to shoehorn this feature in as if anybody is asking for it?

          [–]OKAH 1 point2 points ago

          good lord that conference was AWFUL. They showed nothing and South Park was the highlight for mocking Microsoft.

          Black Ops looks sooooo boring.

          [–]TheMartinConan 1 point2 points ago

          Black Ops looks pretty fucking cool.

          [–]Yum_Cha85 1 point2 points ago

          Every game:

          Run or walk in straight line, shooting people. Wait for it..... quick time event. More walking... shoot, now walk, some more shooting. Get knocked on back in 1st or 3rd person, game title screen. DLC on XBOX first.

          I use to enjoy playing on rail shooters 2 or 3 years ago, but it feels like all the games are the exact same now days.

          [–]warm_slurm 5 points6 points ago

          Yeah, it was terrible, but E3 is pretty bad nowadays anyway (especially this year when crap all is coming out). The only conference worth watching will be Nintendo.

          [–]Methylobacterium 2 points3 points ago

          Sony's conference should be decent since they got that whole 'Move' thing out of the way

          [–]MicFury 1 point2 points ago

          I don't know. I've been investing time and money in Sony for a long time now and I'm finally beginning to regret my PS3. It was getting the Vita that really put the last nail in the coffin. Prior to that it was the move. Every other nail came from Valve(just make more games with controller support, dammit!!). Sony's PC is probably going to be unspectacular as well.

          [–]warm_slurm 0 points1 point ago

          Yeah, I guess so, but they're probably going to focus on PSN+ for a lot of it. I find their conferences pretty boring most of the time, but at least they're never cringe-worthy and embarrassing like Microsoft's can be.

          [–]ivtecdoyou 0 points1 point ago

          For real, announce your next game box or get out of my conference.

          [–]DocPlatypus 2 points3 points ago

          Halo 4 comming to wii-u

          [–]protomd 1 point2 points ago

          Internet explorer......... VOMIT

          [–]zabonotiropitas 0 points1 point ago

          Meh...that was below my expectations.

          [–]duiker101 0 points1 point ago

          guys i have no idea what conference are you talking about... i know there is E3 but i thought it was june 5-7... is there something already out?

          [–]Yatterking 2 points3 points ago

          The show floor is open on the 5th. Today and tomorrow are the opening press conferences where everything gets announced.

          [–]duiker101 1 point2 points ago

          ah! ok! thanks for the clarification, i found the microsoft conference also... OMG i wish i didn't..

          [–]tmgproductions 0 points1 point ago

          I always wonder why the guy above his left shoulder does the exact same thing as him...

          [–]Winstonia 0 points1 point ago

          One ray of glory that was south park then OH WAIT USHER DANCING LIKE A PRICK, NOPE EVEN BETTER ABOUT 10 MINS OF SOMEONE PLAYING YET ANOTHER COD GAME.

          Microsoft is an abomination to the gaming community

          [–]shystie1 0 points1 point ago

          MS's E3 Press conference S.U.C.K.E.D.

          Let's lets hope E3 gets better, heck it has to since MS sucked the all the awful within a 120 mile radius of E3.

          [–]floatablepie 0 points1 point ago

          I couldn't watch, but I assume they decided to not show off the 720? It would make sense, showing off your console's swan song (maybe) in Halo 4 would be overshadowed by "by the way, look what Halo 4 would look a lot cooler on!".

          [–]SgtWiggles 0 points1 point ago

          I couldnt help but lose it when they showed the Madden '13 with Kinect gameplay.

          "HIKE!" Tosses ball 5 seconds later

          [–]SkodLife 0 points1 point ago

          It was pretty much like last year.

          Utterly pathetic.

          [–]FTFY2012 0 points1 point ago

          FTFY, if you read your ass pad during a movie about the movie you're watching, unless it was the opening night of LOTR.

          How bout dat Matter? Cant wait to be an orb.

          [–]stumbles27 0 points1 point ago

          God dammit leave me alone. I just wanna listen to Usher.

          [–]Yatterking 0 points1 point ago

          I was really happy about ESPN and ESPN2 coming to 360 because I don't want to pay for cable and I love sports (2013, year of the Panthers). I also really liked that Tomb Raider trailer, and Splinter Cell looks a lot like Ghost Recon Future Soldier with the way it handles marked executions and stealth and all that, so that made me happy. I also thought 8701 was a great album, and I wish Usher would go back to making summer jams instead of club bangers.

          Er. I mean... I hate everything you guys, gaming is dead, micro$$$haft, etc.

          [–]asianhunter 0 points1 point ago

          GO JAGS!

          [–]Trunkins 0 points1 point ago

          I'm okay with the Sports stuff, and the Nike thing i may actually use.

          [–]klick37 0 points1 point ago

          How dare you like something that r/gaming hates?!

          [–]Trunkins 1 point2 points ago

          I'm not happy with the Kinect suckfest (i own one, and enjoy it, but that's not what i want from Microsoft right now) I subscribe to NHL Gamecenter, and would love to watch it on the TV without having to move my PC or Laptop to it. As far as the Nike thing goes, a friend of mine bought that wrist band thing, and from what he has told me, it's a really great product, I plan on getting one myself from what he has told me, them making a fitness "game" for the 360 actually have me interested, god know how much i played around on WiiFit when it first came out. It's also the kind of thing my fiance (who is a casual gamer) would use regularly, I don't see the problem with that.

          [–]klick37 0 points1 point ago

          I was being sarcastic. I personally don't like the direction Microsoft has taken but you were being downvoted for having a different opinion and I don't think that is ok. I upvoted you, enjoy the sports stuff.

          [–]Trunkins 1 point2 points ago

          Oh i know, no worries.

          [–]fathernamedtuna 0 points1 point ago

          MICROSOFT! Y U NO SHOW NEW HARDWARE!

          [–]Thebobinator 1 point2 points ago

          Because the cost of making new hardware vs how much you can get from actually selling it at a competitive price (not a lot of profit), compared to eaking out as much as you can from your current, already sold hardware. A lot of families got an xbox recently due to kenect, and wont want to upgrade so fast. Also, the new services add "value" to the 360, and they can keep selling more of them.

          [–]fathernamedtuna 0 points1 point ago

          True, but could they not afford to show a simple demo of future hardware w/ a slated date release? Like the Wii U demo last year.

          [–]Thebobinator 1 point2 points ago

          I dont think we're at that point in the cycle. Nintendo had a bunch of catching up to do, at least in terms of hardware power (however you feel about the wii, no one will argue that it is a graphics powerhouse), and microsoft has been spending a bunch of resources extending the 360. I think next year will be the start of the next cycle, with the simple demos and such, and it will CERTAINLY continue the kenect theme.

          [–]king_of_blades 0 points1 point ago

          True, but make no mistake, they don't want to be stuck in last gen when one of their competitors launches a new console. This generation has been out for too long, I predict that whoever launches first will sell a lot.

          I'm basically a nintendo fanboy and I feel so bad for you. I have an Xbox too and there no games that looked interesting. Tomb Raider seem OK, I guess. I think there was something right after that that was fine as well. Ugh. Even they showed Shadow Complex 2 it would have been a success.

          [–]daleindaclub[S] 1 point2 points ago

          WTF was Microsoft thinking lol. Nintendo won this year!
