Posted in: E3 2011: Microsoft Press Conference Summary
One of the most anticipated conferences of this year’s E3 is Microsoft’s Global Media Briefing. Surprises of surprises,they opened with a gameplay footage of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3. The scale was there and it felt like a Call of Duty game. Don Mattrick then makes an appearance to a huge applause. He thanks everyone who is watching for making last year the biggest year in history for Xbox. He then briefs what we will see in this conference.
Crystal Dynamic’s Darrel Gallagher, then briefs us through a demo of Tomb Raider, which from the moment they started playing it looks absolutely fantastic! Lara had to use her survival instincts to survive immense torture.
Peter Moore (President of EA Sports) then comes out. 4 EA Sports titles will feature Kinect. Tiger Woods, Madden and FIFA and one unannounced title. Other EA games will feature Kinect, including the Sims Pets.
Dr Ray Myska from Bioware then comes out to tell us about Mass Effect 3 and drops the bombshell that it will feature Kinect and brings out a fellow developer to demonstrate this.
A Ghost Recon: Future Soldier trailer then plays, featuring much updated visual presentation. Yves Guilliem confirms that Kinect will feature in the game, and a few other titles they have coming out soon.
Mac Whitten from Xbox Live then comes on stage to a whooping from the audience. His vision is to eliminate the remote control and enable voice control menu options. From the looks of things, this is yet another dashboard. Many new partners have been made.
President of the UFC, Dana White then comes on stage to unveil a new trailer for UFC Xbox Live, which features predictions being enabled for fights.
Microsoft’s Studios Phil Spencer then appears to say the rest of the conference will feature exclusive titles to Xbox 360, starting with Gears of War 3. That War Pigs trailer then plays featuring some more explosions and a gritty edge. Cliff Bleszinski then comes on stage to a huge applause.
The much rumoured Halo: Combat Evolved remake was then demonstrated, now known as Halo Combat Evolved: Anniversary Edition, featuring new visuals, Multiplayer Maps, Co-Op and a remastered campaign Nov 15th 2011.
Forza Motorsport 4 is then shown to the press, with many community features, monthly expansions, world tour modes and Kinect Headscanning technology.
Peter Molyneux then comes out on stage to discuss Fable: The Journey, together with a beautiful looking demo, that mentions that Heroes are no longer born but must be made.
Phil Spencer then comes back on stage to announce a huge bombshell. Minecraft is coming to Xbox 360 Kinect exclusively. He also announces a partnership with Disney in the form of Kinect Disneyland Adventures.
It does seem a little disappoint that very few hardcore titles are announced that don’t feature Kinect, but we have seen some things that Kinect can do that haven’t seen before. The amount of small children on stage does make the whole direction of Microsoft seem a little towards the family rather than the gamer, and the Xbox Live TV feature may change how we visualise entertainment. But as a gaming conference for traditional gamers there was very little here for them. What we did see however looks pretty good.Read full story

Sony E3 Press Conference: Exclusives, Biggest Rumours and Expected Announcements
GamingBolt.com previews the Sony E3 Press Conference stating the biggest rumors, expected announcements and exclusives that gamers can expect. There are also some unexpected predictions from Sony's conference.GB: "Sony is in a mess. 2011, so far, has been nothing short of a nightmare for them.Their online service, PlayStation Network recently got hacked, and was down for a MONTH. Nobody could play any games online, and as if that wasn’t bad enough, all PSN users’ credit card information was at risk. When PSN finally did manage to come back up, the PS Store was facing problems, and it’s only now, a week after PSN recovered, that the Store is back up.
So it’s kind of obvious that Sony have to have a stellar E3 conference this year so that they can win back the confidence of their fans and followers. Fortunately, they look all set to deliver one of their best conferences in recent memory- they’re set to shows the lineup of the NGP, the price, release date and final name of their new handheld system, no...Read full story

Resident Evil 4 Retro Review - Plasma Station
The story of Resident Evil 4 was about an American mercenary sent to a small Italian village to rescue the President's daughter from the clutches of an evil cult. Leon S. Kennedy makes his way through hoards of zombies to rescue Ashley, but runs into old and new foes such as Krauser, Salazar and the ruler of the cult, Saddler. As the story progresses, you learn about the reasoning behind kidnapping Ashley and the cult's motivation to take over the world. The game's story drove the game beautifully with only one exception. The dialogue was so insanely wooden that it was hard to overlook to see the brilliantly written plot line.Read full story

Mortal Kombat – CFD! Review
The success of Mortal Kombat ultimately lies within the fighting mechanics. Instead of relying on the overly complicated combinations and insane frame counting of other fighting games, a player can survive the story mode and hold his own against other average players by learning a few key combos and attacks for each character. As with any skill-based game, the more time someone spends to learn a specific character’s tendencies and moves, the greater proficiency they’ll have against other players.Read full story

Games.On.Net 2 Minute Review: Hunted: The Demon's Forge (Xbox 360)
Graphically the game is let down by a somewhat generic fantasy design, which a hint of South American aesthetic can't rescue. On an HD monitor some minor jaggies showed up in high contrast situations, but a really laudable number of detailed textures made for some nice eye candy. Some strange lighting decisions - character models glow strangely in the deepest darkest depths - detract, but the animations are in general pretty delightful.Read full Review

NGP Gamer presents out list of down to Earth predictions of what Sony's Press Conference at E3 this year will reveal about the new portable's release, price, features and games.

These aren’t rumors or the result of insider information, merely my own educated guesswork. I’m publishing this ahead of tomorrow’s Sony press conference to keep myself honest.Read full story

E3 2011 Press Conferences: Are we excited?
E3 is upon us and all I got to say is that I’m not as excited anymore as I used to be. Don’t get me wrong I’m still anticipating E3 but just not as excited. Partly because of last years debacle. I felt no one had a strong showing, nah I take that back Nintendo’s conference was pretty good- they did what they had to do (and they might just make it two years in a row). However overall E3 did not deliver. The other part of the equation is I like so many others bought into the hype, (my fault) various sites breaking news left and right about what games will or won’t be shown- Uncharted 3 and who will or won’t show up- Kojima, sounds familiar? I even saw somewhere Sony was going to have a 5hr conference!!! (only to be retracted by another article).Read full story
