I'm a bit disappointed that they haven't gone with a subtitle...it feels like a bit of a cop-out to me, unless the 'confirmed' rumour is just to cover up the real title? A bit of a long shot, I know...
Hopefully they'll announce a release date!
They went from calling it the Natal to the Kinect? Dammit, Natal sounded so much cooler even if it didn't mean as much. It's almost as bad as when the went from the Nintendo revolution to the Wii. Regardless, some of the Kinect's games should be fun, it seems. The racing game sounded pretty ingenious to me. :D
Also, "longshot" hee hee, just some Zelda Ocarina of Time humor.

The Conference was just ok, tbh.
Metal Gear Solid Rising, Gears 3, Halo Reach, 360 Slim. That's the press conference.
I don't know why they decided to release the 360 Slim this far into the generation. Nobody is going to buy it, because they've already hit there sales stride and they won't be getting the sales they were hoping to get. The ones they saw from the Playstation 3 Slim.

Agreed. The first portion of Natal/Kinect was interesting, but then they went into their shitty ass games. I mean the most tolerable thing was the adorable girl playing with her pet Tiger "Sprinkles", but even that was partially annoying.
i swear some people are never pleased by anything. alot of the kinect stuff looked surprisingly interesting (i thought that adventures game looked pretty fun) and mgs rising was pretty huge (though i dont care for mgs). also the slim announcement at the end was awesome. if i hadnt just bought a ps3 slim this is pretty much what i would have needed to buy an xbox, and im sure theres plenty of people in the same boat as me.
and waiting one week is "giving the finger to everyone else", complaining about the rumoured lack of subtitle on a zelda game, complaining about the name of kinect, complaining about the name of some zelda character
you guys so crazy

Offering a 360 to the guys in the audience while the conference is broadcasted everywhere in the world and on Times Square, saying 'here you go, you lucky attendees, your free new 360 - don't worry, everyone else can buy it at the full price so it's alright for us' is giving the finger, yes.
And sure, many people were hoping for exactly this kind of things, on-rails shooters with limited and ridiculous-looking interaction, the marketing team studied the case don't worry about it!

They didn't show a single unannounced game aside from a partnership with Crytek for what looked like a pretty bland action-title. Everything else had been announced earlier. Most of the titles demoed for 10 minutes at a time were sequels that played exactly the same as their predecessors. Microsoft held their Kinect event yesterday and I thought the point was so they didn't do it all during their conference. Instead, we got like half an hour of boring Kinect demos that we'd already heard about yesterday. Not to mention none of that Kinect stuff looked remotely interesting to play.
Second paragraph I agree. Although bribing the audience period is just mindboggling. THIS IS NOT OPRAH. This is a fucking PRESS conference. You do not give free gifts to the press. Jesus. I hope anyone who accepted that and isn't giving it away to their readers are put on some list somewhere so I know not to read anything they write ever again.
Of course not. You already got one this generation. Check again a year or two into the next system.
Ok Ubisoft delivered. I was waiting to see if they could match the terrible, terrible, hoooly shit what is going ON they did last year. I think they did a pretty good job of confusing the fuck out of the audience between Shaun White Skateboarding on Acid, Laser Tag in your living room, and "Hey look it's the demo we already saw at Microsoft but oh looks like they'll do it all over again". After that they delivered with motherfucking RAYMAN and Trackmania news. And just to end it all off, they got batshit insane again and do a Michael Jackson number.
I'm still crying about no Beyond Good & Evil 2 though ;_;

Ubisoft did a great job.
EA delivered, would have been perfect if it wasn't for that boring EA Sports section.
And yea...I was being nice....
There are utterly crappy years for every system.
Sony 2006
Nintendo 2008
Microsoft 2010
I wonder how Sony will do though, they've already announced quite a big list of games before E3. They better have something amazing up their sleeves.
And Nintendo better make the Zelda game for Wii, AND NOT A DS GAME.
