E3 2010

[hinn888]

Today, an advertisement from the Italian Microsoft website seems to have leaked some of the big details that Microsoft planned to drop on the gaming world. These were seemingly expected from many of those within the industry, and the advertisement confirms many of those expectations. First and foremeost, the most anticipated feature to come out of the Microsoft camp this year, Project Natal, is going to be going by a new name. The newly-named Kinect will be expected later this year, and USA Today confirms that there are several titles that are already in the works for the new motion sensing technology:

* Joy Ride - This is the major title that was revealed recently to be a bigger and better adaptation than the XBLA arcade game that was revealed at last year's E3. The title will now be fully functional with Kinect and will have users' holding an imaginary steering wheel, while using their body movements to perform accerlation boosts, tricks and stunts.

* Kinectimals - This title shows the route that Microsoft may be taking for the most part with Kinect, which should have been expected. Getting all cutesy for the younger generations, this game will allow you to train 20 different vitural cats, which will include a cheetah, tiger and lion.

* Kinect Sports - Sound familiar anyone? This adapation will have players' using their body movements to play sports including boxing, bowling, table tennis, soccer, track and field and volleyball.

* Kinect Adventures - This title will include both a river raft time-trial and an obstacle course. Up to four players can play at a time, and partners will need to move side to side in order to steer their rafts.

* Dance Central - Supposedly being created by MTV Games, players will be busting a virtual move in their living rooms.

* Both Disney and Star Wars characters will be used ingames that will be developed in conjunction with Disney and LucasArts, respectively.

The other major detail to come out of the advertisement is a potential reveal for an Xbox 360 Slim, which will come with a 250 GB hard drive, built-in WiFi and will presumably be bundled with Kinect.

You can watch Microsoft's conference here if you want. It's on soon.

Any other decent feeds? I'm not sure that feed will work for me.

youve missed a suspicious looking COD Black ops. Looks like a pc build to me, too much colour and too busy for 360 to look like that imo

[Hendo]

Call of Duty has only just finished for me, no idea how behind I am.

Don is very sincere isn't he?

[DANGERMAN]

I really hate the smarmy cunt. On the plus side Rising looks fun

[Hendo]

Up to speed now, Rising looked good.

Swoon, Cliffy B is so lush. Also, Gears 3.

[DANGERMAN]

so Molyneux's gay now?

Edit: Didnt show much so its hard to say, but it looks like the combat has evolved a bit

[Hendo]

Gears 3 looks ace, as I hoped.

I'm hoping Molyneux spouts some pretentious bollocks, Fable III looks cool though.

Is Crytek making God of War now?

[DANGERMAN]

Gears didnt really do much for me, but then it wouldnt really. Surprised there wasnt more shown of Fable.

They should have shown more of Codename Kingdoms, though I imagine Crytek are busy with other things at the minute

[DANGERMAN]

Call me a cynic but that looks like an approximation of gameplay rather than a recording of someone playing, basically like a movie with in game graphics (Halo Reach)

[Hendo]

Microsoft employ black people! Well I never.

I really want them to show me something that will make me want Kinect. Does that mean we get a new dashboard?

[DANGERMAN]

Cant help but think that everything hes done with the interface would be easier with a controller, aside from maybe the fastforward thing

[Hendo]

Microsoft employ attractive slim women! Well I never.

[HandsomeDead]

It's official, MS have just turned me right off Kinect.

[DANGERMAN]

Oh my god this is horrendous. both watching movies is a decent idea, but the shitty banter

[Hendo]

Boooooooooored.

sunglasses inside, oh dear

[DANGERMAN]
