Official E3 Rumors/Discussion/Chat Thread

[Kaisha]

I don't get how the same people who want a 1:1 lightsaber game on wii are complaining about how there is no way to stop the swing or register that it is hitting something/being blocked in kinect, so therefore it's lightsaber game won't work. How is that any different from how it would work on the wii? well I mean obviously it could just be a fanboy thing, but that's retarded

For the most part it is. Granted though, with the Wii remote at least you would have some feedback via the built-in rumble as a heads up the dude can't match what you're doing, where-as with Kinect, you'd have nothing.

I'm still waiting for Microsoft to announce a new peripheral to go along with Kinec in two hours, can't wait to tune it.
(I liked the name Natal more, but then again, I seem to like prototype names more than the real deal. I mean seriously Nintendo what the fuck, Wii? Shoulda stuck with revolution since it really did start all the motion crap)

Dear god I hope not, that'll push back the world wide release .-.

Im betting it wont even be brought up, if it does itll just be a quick blurb.

it wont be brought up, and ppl keep thinking its comming to 360

Main sticking point for XIV on 360 would either be Microsoft giving in again for allowing Playstation owners to play alongside 360 owners, or SquareEnix giving them their own servers.

[Kiarax]

Square wouldn't give Microsoft players their own servers. I'm pretty sure it's less to do with them specifically playing with PS3 players and more the fact they have to let them use non-Live servers, which Microsoft have a thing against.

[Katlan]

There is no reason FFXIV being on 360 would be held a secret until 1year after its announcement on the PS3/PC. It would of been announced alongside its initial announcement. I don't get why ppl are still so caught up in it being multi-console platform for release

Everywhere says it starts at half past, so 55 minutes from now. Or is there supposed to be pre-conference stuff?

[Insanecyclone]

I guess we're not doing separate threads?

This one lags a bit for me.

[Devolver]

I believe I had seen a tech demo for the move that was being used on Socom.

No it doesn't, refresh the page. They had the time wrong.

[Devolver]

Mmm hmm

The Microsoft Press Conference was delayed to 10:30. Sorry for the inconvenience!

[Insanecyclone]

Ohhh I see. I've had the tab up for 5 hours so I haven't bothered to refresh since it will be impossible to see when it starts.

Spoiler: show

Get ready for a new XBL Dashboard. All the consoles we used for last nights event had them.

It's a bit cleaned up, blue background. Re-designed a bit for navigation via Kinect.

As for the Star Wars thing. There was definitely a feed delay on the screens surrounding the audience. The person playing the game was in a mock living room suspended above everyone, the Kotaku guys were on the floor looking up at the feed monitors (everyone was) and there was definitely a delay on those screens. The main screen he was playing on was pretty much in sync, but I would not doubt if it was pre-recorded though, the tech for this show was overwhelming.

Also, all the game footage shown was pre-production. Gameplay cut just for this show. Claiming one arm movement, out of context, as "fail" is pretty much bullshit.

[Kaisha]

Delayed half an hour.

Anything else new? New features or just redesign/Kinect navigation?
