Great game reveals and announcements can generate fan enthusiasm just as well, and the Xbox manufacturer will have to pull the curtain back on more than a few major titles to offer up centerpieces on par with Nintendo's 3DS and Sony's NGP.
Join the Game Rant crew live from the Galen Center in Los Angeles for the official Xbox Media Briefing as we report by the second on the new games, services and special announcements as they happen!
Microsoft certainly has plenty of announcements they could possibly make , concerning blockbuster franchises like Gears of War 3 or a few more hardcore Kinect titles. Who knows, Microsoft's press conference could even help to put and end to the speculation surrounding Halo 4. So when all the dust settled, Microsoft's press conference was and wasn't what we had expected. The Halo: Combat Evolved remake is official, and Halo 4 is coming for holiday The ever-continuing quest by Microsoft to turn the Xbox into every homeowner's hub for entertainment showed new integration of live television, DVR playback, and even UFC pay-per-view events.
Crowd chuckles. Oh, he's done! He hopes we all enjoy it this fall. Also, he's happy to announce "substantial" downloadable content for F3 -- exclusive to the Xbox and Games For Windows.
It's time for the first ever live demo of Resident Evil 5. The director is playing it. It looks like Resident Evil 4 on steroids. Waching the video, it's very clear that the enemies are now multicultural. They switch over and somebody else is now controlling the second player. They do an "assist leap" to get each other over a gap. The players are teaming up to fight all the zombies and help each other through the level.
Oh, one more thing they want to tell us. They're releasing the game simultaneously in North America and Europe on Friday the 13th March Oh well, no zombie Christmas for you. We're watching a video of the game, the same one that was shown at Microsoft's event a few months back. Molyneux says we have one more innovation to learn about. We're starting the game, here's you and the dog.
Oh hey, there's Live co-op. We already knew this. But as you walk around the world, you'll see Orbs scattered around. These represent your friends, playing single player games. You can touch the orbs and call your friends into the game.
It happened immediately when Molyneux touched the orb. That's it! Short demo. Oh, he announces it's out in October of this year. I imagine we will have some Cliffy B soon. And indeed, here he comes. Carrying a blood-red Xbox controller.
Looks like he's ready to show us some gameplay. He and the game's producer, backstage, are descending into a "Locust sinkhole. The second half will be games like Lips and Banjo and Viva Pinata, where they show us all how they're doing their level best to also compete with Wii.
And that the game will be available worldwide November 7. Where's the tattoo? This is the last year he can say that. Available starting today. Giant, tentacled monsters pop up from the gorund! The characters calmly talk to the tentacle monsters, explaining their point of view, and everyone goes away and lays down their weapons and has tea together. Just kidding! Blood everywhere. Yes you did. Promises "great British humor, and we know what that means. The game ships Oct.
Microsoft Game Studios is partnering with Crytek is making a game codenamed Kingdoms. It, uh, looks like a God of War clone. There's a main character who looks like Kratos or the guy from Gladiator or the guy from , right down to the chains on his wrists. This is not a live demo — it's taped. Chaos ensues, as you'd expect with four player characters and a boatload of enemies.
In space! In a dogfight over the planet. I wonder if that's actually a major part of the game. Mark Whitten takes the stage to talk about Xbox Live. It has two depth sensors and an RGB camera, and the base has a motorized tilt feature. A Microsoft engineer is here to demonstrate how it works. He waves at the screen and it signs him in, because Kinect's facial-recognition technology knows who he is. There's a special Kinect menu screen that he can navigate just by waving his hands around.
He can also use his voice. Same thing with the voice controls. Xbox, play music! Xbox, roll over! You can watch videos together. Ha ha. The hosts appear live onstage to demo the ESPN feature. It jumps back to the beginning of the touchdown play in the football game that's currently playing.
She plays with the tiger in what is surely a completely faked demo. I mean, Kinect Sports! A song from Chariots of Fire plays. Did they really license Chariots of Fire? That would be awesome. Here's a video showing all the rest of Kinect Sports. Steer just by pretending to steer with your hands. Boost by punching!
I don't think she's actually playing, either. They ride carts, go white-water rafting, etc. Exclusively for Xbox ! Because, you know, nothing else would actually be able to run a Kinect game. We're going through a demo of the features of the exercise game.
