HALO Combat evolved remastered! I'm not sure but I think there is a remastered Halo and a HALO 4. http://uk.ign.com/videos/2011/06/06/e3- ... er-trailer
New xbox360 dashboard for the millionth time!
Xbox dashboard voice recognition.
Bing and YouTube on Xbox live.
All future Tom clancy's games will support kinect.
MINECRAFT exclusively on the Xbox 360 console!
Pretty epic Star Wars Kinect gameplay and has better graphics than the old republic.
Kinect fun labs - wow, you take a picture of yourself and then it makes an avatar that looks just like you! And it's now available!

No sign of LucasArts yet. If they are not showing up at the EA conference... they will announcing something.

Welp. Star Wars Kinect looked absolutely horrible.

I know, but anything StarWars looks epic to me. The gameplay of course is garbage.

Microsoft press conference gave me a mixed feeling. The first chunk were multiplats and the rest were just not what I wanted to see. I really liked the look of Gears 3 and the Mass Effect voice control though.

Halo Anniversary looks neat but the what really upset me was the statement, "a new trilogy on Xbox 360." I got really excited until I realized it was Halo 4. C'mon Microsoft. I don't want to see the same games for over 10 years. I want new IPs dammit.

I hope Sony will bring new properties instead of just sequels.

Oh, and WTF was Fable Journey? A rail shooter?

If I were to score the conference I'd say 6.0/10.

You mean you don't want to see Halo again?

No I don't. I don't want to see Halo again, I want this to be the last Uncharted, no more Resistance, last Gears of War, and no more God of Wars. The developers that made the previously mentioned games are very talented and could be taking us to loads of new and more exciting worlds but instead they shove us in the same place with some new mechanics or prettier graphics.

Another reason I respect Bioware is because they know when a series is done. They've basically stated that they are finished with Mass Effect after 3 and I'm glad. I want them to take me to new worlds.

That's why I don't want to see Halo anymore.

I like to prove that wrong. Mass effect 3 ends Shepard's story arc. There will be more games in the same setting but with different characters

Then I guess I don't respect Bioware either. I don't respect any video game company. They're all greedy uncreative drones. Would that be a better reaction :8(:

BioWare does it right though with Dragon Age, The Old republic ETC

How can you possibly like saturated over produced crap? Assassin's Creed, Halo, and Mass Effect should all just stop. You really don't see the positives of that?

Lol I agree with Scott. Some people say "Oh but games are not movies there can be more than 3". But think Games should stop at 3... Or at least release one every three years or so. AC, COD, Ratchet and Clank, and Halo come out every year. :8(:

I don't care so much about the amount of time between as much as the quantity of the same series. Video games are to take us to new worlds and if developers never go to a new IP than we won't get to experience new worlds.

If people like shovelware that costs over $60 than all the more power to them.

Perhaps Lucasarts thought the same thing in regards to the Battlefront series. :lol:

Yes but they stopped developing games altogether. You quite one AAA franchise to start another.
