Microsoft: All You Need

The top trailers and announcements on Giant Bomb for Microsoft.

  


If you're looking for a good primer on what Microsoft is up to this E3 you've come to the right place. We'll continue to update this page with the best from Microsoft over the next couple days.

Top 10 Trailers


Microsoft

  • Xbox Live soon to recieve 1080 HD streaming, Facebook/Twitter/Last.fm integration.
  • Xbox peripheral Project Natal "makes you the controller". Essentially a camera that can recognize your movement.
  • Beatles Rock Band looks better then expected with a unique art-style that goes through each phase of their career. Yoko, Paul and Ringo show up.
  • Alan Wake is not only still being made, but looks great. Lots of lighting and slow-mo effects.
  • Infinity Ward showed off some Modern Warfare 2 gameplay footage featuring some epic ice-climbing and snowmobile battles.
  • Metal Gear Solid Rising will be a X360 release. It's a totally new game.
  • Lionhead is working on some crazy Life-gaming with "Milo" a virtual character you can interact with through Natal.
  • Halo: ODST looks like a team-based Halo game. Halo: Reach also announced but unknown as to what genre it is.
  • Left 4 Dead 2 is a surprise sequel due out in the Fall.
  • Tony Hawk shows off Ride, his newest game that uses a skateboard controller.
  • Crackdown 2 is confirmed.
  • Forza 3 is confirmed and looks a lot like Forza 2 with sharper graphics and nice skinning options.
  • Shadow Complex is a metroid-like shooter that will be an arcade download game.
  • Joy Ride is a free kart racer that uses your avatar's in game.

Errr, can we NOT make the primary conversation about Halo: Reach a question of genre? Because then they're going to announce it's a shooter, which we all know it most likely (99.243%) is, we will all have wasted a whole lot of breath.

Moneysoft had a better show than Sony's entertainment-wise. Micro had chicks on stage that i wouldn't mind having relations with. Sony had unnattractive translators :( plus Microsoft rocked out with their cocks out on stage and had some random star power. why the fack was Speilsberg needed?

as far as content though, in my awesome opinion i'd say they're exactly the same. awesome scat commin from both companies. the only difference is, while i wait for Uncharted 2 or God of War and stuff, i can play Killzone 2 or Infamous.
while i wait for ODST and Splinter Cell i can't play nothin. i have to sit and stare at my Xbox and wait and pray for an awesome 3rd party game.

there's some great stuff up there, but in terms of the amount new exclusive games that i can't wait to play, Sony came out ahead for me. it's nice to have all of these videos in one place though, thanks GB crew!

@LordAndrew:
Funny how the good ol' blue names gotta come and say in an Xbox news post that it wasn't as good as Sony.

--

I can safely say I am quite excited for 7 of those 10 games (minus Mass Effect, Brutal Legend and Shadow Complex, but those all look great for their own audiences, just not me), as well as Project Natal, though I will maintain Ryan's skeptical point of view for the time being.
If they release anything close to the demonstration they showed at their press conference, I'm certain it will be a smash success. I hope they release a practical time frame (before holiday 2010, please..?) and price point (under $200?) in the near future as well.

@ShinyD3mon: Are you suggesting that I'm a Sony fanboy? Sorry about that. I simply set my alignment as Sony because most of the games I've been playing are on the PS2. I guess I'll switch it back to neutral so people stop assuming I'm a Sony fanboy. Because I'm not.
I don't even own a PS3. I just had my alignment set to Sony for a dumb reason and happened to enjoy Sony's press conference more.

I'm pretty sure Joystiq confirmed Halo : Reach is an FPS.
