E3 Round Up Thread Options

[AC9breaker]

Microsoft's conference is done, tons of information and a bunch of cool stuff announced. I was pleasantly surprised. Some of the stuff I found interesting.

1. Last FM for Xbox
2. Microsoft Motion Sensor Natal (lmao Sega activator)
3. Metal Gear Rising (Raiden May Cry? Ninja Raiden? Shinraiden?)
4. Left 4 dead 2
5. New Halo's (totally called it)
6. Timed Modern Warfare 2 Map packs
7. Games on demand service for XBL

Edit --
Watching EA press conference now on G4 and just wanted to point something Ironic.

Back in the day EA was putting out shit games and making mad cash.
Now EA is putting out new interesting IP's and loses billions and lays off thousands.

Indeed. I hope the UI is something that gets fixed. The whole macro thing was clunky. We need a hotbar to drag and drop abilities. And no more of the sit and rest for Hp/mp in between fights. Since when is FF like that? FF is faster paced. I really hope they overhaul the battle system. Even turn base using the ATB could work if done right. And it would actually feel like a FF game. Maybe even allow for a strategy element to the game instead of the usual tank and spank. Still, FFXIV has a ton of potential. I hope with WoW's dominance they make smart gameplay changes. I tell you PC players are not going to move over to this game if they already playing WoW. Only fans, and current players of FFXI will. Really hard to convince someone playing WoW to pay for another MMO, when WoW is so damn good right now (I did not think it was so good after Burning Crusade was released, but Lich King is total win). And I'm sure WoW will be rolling into another expansion when around FFXIV release.


I will try it of course. But it will take a lot for me to stay. If they do what LOTRO did and offer a lifetime sub for 200ish dollars that would be awesome. I just don't see myself paying more than a month unless its a WoW killer. Subscriptions are really dead unless you are WoW. Its a shame really. Like Star Wars Old Republic is coming out. It looks interesting, but it will be ignored for the most part by the current MMO player base.
