    I watched it again and I have to say I was very impressed what they are trying to do. So I was wondering what everyone else's favourite part of the presentation was.

    I would have to say mine was the 360/windows cross platform gaming, that could be huge.

    is there any sort of bonding in the game, like 2 animals stick together like husband and wife or brother and sister and that sort of thing

    I don't know to be honest but would doubt it?? Must say the halo trailer was the biggest anti-climax ever... MGS4 trailer on the other hand....

    It doesn't need to, because it's about more than just playing a game, for me anyway. Kojima-san has always expressed his desire to make cinematic games and it's a mix of that and the gameplay that makes MGS for me. Trailer proved to be quite cinematic... Me=Happy

    Ya, gameplay in the halo trailer was... Wasn't actually.

    I'm really excited about Uno for live arcade. I just hope the 360 can keep producing games to this standard!

    The conference was just highlight after highlight.

    I chose the GTA announcement, only because it was such a pleasant surprise for me because I fully expected him to reveal a Halo 3 tattoo and I hate Halo.

    Xbox Live Arcade announcements would probably be second, lots of great classics and Lumines was quite a surprise too!

    Then I loved the windows stuff, some great ideas there. Forza 2 looks cool. As does Gears of War, Viva Pinata, Fable 2, practically everything they showed for that matter. It was an exciting conference.

    Its an FPS, I think its pretty obvious that you have a gun and you kill *things* from a first person perspective?

    What was the HD-DVD announcement about?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,225 ✭✭✭Ciaran500


    HD-DVD is coming to Xbox360 and thats about it, no price or date yet.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 632 ✭✭✭Tank Top Fever!


    I was absolutely delighted with the Lumines announcement

    That and Everybody's Golf are the only reason I keep my PSP

    Uno is smashing aswell, having a lot of fun with that, even if it is only a card game
