E3 2010

In case you didn't watch it, or in case you want to read a humorous "live blog" of the conference:

I particularly like this bit.......

A small child just ran on the stage. Ah, she's playing Kinectimals. Kudo is standing behind her rubbing his hands. I'm not making it up.
18:24:21 -
The girl is petting a virtual tiger cub. "Yeah, you like that, yes you do."
18:24:45 -
She's tickling the tiger. It really is very cute. Now she's telling it to sit and jump. Can you also tell it to sick balls?
18:25:22 -
The tiger cub has a toy now. She's hiding from it. It's looking for her through the camera.
18:25:58 -
The tiger cub is called Skittles. She's making it skip with a virtual skipping rope now.
18:26:21 -
Skittles has gone feral. He's biting her face off and slicing her abdomen open like a carrier bag full of sausages. I am making this up.

What's all this about the mini games, you got a link for a video or soemthing Aero?

"EA has announced a DLC expansion pack for Battlefield: Bad Company 2 set in Vietnam. It will be released in winter 2010.

A very short teaser was shown of jungle action set to a Creedence Clearwater Revival tune. "

- Good news for CGN then!

Forza 3 Kinetic Edition sales (after 1 week): 3

i bet that P.O.S. will be priced at the typical $60 USD

I cannot wait for the new NFS Hot Pursuit!

Forza Kinetic will be a tech demo but I read on the T10 site that their next full game will ship in 2011 and will include features and more that was shown in the Kinetic demo.

and hells jeah BFBC2 Vietnam! Loved VF Vietnam in the pc and this will be so much better than the CoD version. MoH looks like a return to firm as well, but the demo looked too much like MW2

Switch I bet all the kinect games will be $60 which is dumb

Anyone know when the ESPN on 360 goes live?

Just watched the EA Conference. NFS: Hot Pursuit looked awesome (Veyron Cop Cars!!) right up until they let the lead devs do a gameplay demonstration - retarded!

well shoot

...yeah, like removing User Created-lobbies, and In-lobby Tuning and feed us B.S. about everything from FM2 was in FM3 last year

If this new forza isn't just mini gamesand arcade racing, it better support controllers and wheels and on top of that have damn good physics, more layers for painting, night racing, weather effects and much more if they expect me to buy it. By doing the whole kinect thing they may alienate the core audience. Hardcore racing fans like us... if this isn't beastly I may be finding a new platform to race on

i am right behind you Patrick. if FM3.5/4 is anything like this arcady PGR/NFS feel to it, im leaving Forza for PC-racing Sims

It'll be an option. They have to cater for everyone so I'd strongly expect controller and wheel support.
I can't imagine them ever saying you HAVE to have Kinect of else. Don't worry guys it'll be ok

"The future of Forza will be enhanced by Kinect. We are creating a game that will truly be accessible by audiences of all racing pedigrees. That said, we are not leaving our core players behind. "

That to me means they're ADDING to it rather than doing away with traditional methods. The only thing is I will absolutely eat a hat if the actual in game actual racing looks as good as the car the guy walks round and interracts with.

Forza is beginning to stray away from its original emphasis on realistic physics, they have not updated the physics yet to give it a better more ''2010'' feel...

Remember guys, GTR3 is on its way! Lets convice Simbin to give us a paint editor!

Stayed up to watch the EA and Ubisoft conferences last night. EA was pretty good - Medal of Honour looks badass, and doing a live-on-stage 24 player multiplayer game was awesome, seeing 24 people walk on stage and 24 rigs descend onto the stage was great!
Ubisoft though, was utter balls, and quite surprisingly weak considering their franchise list.

I watche dthe Xbox and Ea one slive and they were excellent. Not watched Ubi and I don't really plan on it.

Did you notice how much Ea was promoting the PS3 over the 360 this time aorund? They always used the PS3 to demo their games and only whoed Ps3 box art. I think the only time I saw a 360 logo was at the end of the Crysis 2 demo when theys aid it would be in 3d for all consoles.

Yea MH looks awsome, physics look dam cool , Yea I am not going to fret over next big thing by turn 10, as I am sure the will not leave us there core audience behind......beacuse well that would be 1 stupid buisness idea, building a game on which non of ur core market will want and then trying to say yea forza for reel racers hmmmmmmmmm or more like wi racers lol

MH multiplayer beta starts on 21st June, unless you register at gunclub.ea.com, in which case you can get access from this Thursday!

RFactor 2 as well nicky. In that case, maybe this new forza will be alright. I can see weatther effects and so on with this new game, as long as I don't need kinect I'm open to try it
