Things I Learned from the Microsoft E3 Presentation
Posted on 07.10.07 by A 47 Danger @ 10:48 pm

Peter Moore is tone deaf, and probably sings loudly in the car by himself.

Viva Pinata is being brought back in a terrible party game form.

Mass Effect comes out this November. That’s one of those months that ends in “ember.” The thirst one.

We’ve spent billions of dollars on our Xbox 360s. I wonder if that was before or after the Ring of Death repair refunds.

Haven’t been excited about any games I wasn’t aware of. Assassin’s Creed, Rock Band, Bioshock, and some smaller games.

SceneIt?, the board game, coming to Xbox Live? It comes with a new controller style. A controller with a big red button. You know, in case you can only play games by using your nose. It always knows.

Somehow, I have been tricked into watching a PowerPoint presentation.

Hey, it’s Reggie Bush! From the New Orleans Saints! That’s what the gamers want! The crowd is really impressed, as you can tell by my sarcasm.

The Xbox Live presentation is boring me. 7 million members. Oooh, and he mentioned Pac-Man: Championship Edition. Bad call, dude.

Oooh. Hexic 2 is coming. I think I’m the only person who played the first one. But, hooray for me.

OMG Golden Axe OMG! What’s more, Golden Axe is available tonight! Quit playing it on your Dreamcast or Wii and start playing it on XBLA!

Disney movies on Xbox Live? Right now? I’ll start ignoring those movies right away!

PGR4 will have motorbikes and weather effects. I will remember this as the moment all of my dreams finally came true!

Lost Odyssey doesn’t look bad. In fact, I find it hard to say bad things about it. Hold on, the dialogue is cheesy. There you go! Thought I was loosing my touch for a second.

Wait, there is a Games for Windows section? Viva Pinata and Gears of War are coming to Games for Windows. So for the two people out there who like playing Xbox 360 games much later and on PC, there you go.

Call of Duty 4 looks pretty good. Then again, it is another war shooter. A MODERN war shooter. From the distant future of today!

Hey, thanks for showing us the Grand Theft Auto 4 trailer again. We haven’t seen that a million times before.

Resident Evil 5? I didn’t know about that!

While Assassin’s Creed still looks great, it still looks the same as it did a year ago. But the AI looks great! In a group of enemies, only one will attack at a time! Brilliant!

There is a Halo themed console? Come on now. Haven’t we learned that this doesn’t work yet? I’m not going to sell my white console for a green console. At least the Halo 3 preview was neat. And that’s it. Go to sleep.

  2. Ah, min-E3. So anti-climactic. I’ll be surprised if there are ANY surprises in this show. Sounds like Microsoft was seriously treading water with their press conference. The effect of this will greatly depend on Sony’s thing tonight. If Sony has a similar showing, it will be really bad for them, and a minor victory for MS.

    Honestly, I was expecting a price cut announcement, even if only $50 or something. It’s been out for a year and a half, and they still haven’t dropped it: weird.
