E3 2011: Microsoft Press Conference

Really hope MS don't waste on stage time demoing these, they look really shoddy. Well Disneyland thing looks alright for what it is, Star Wars however :laugh:

Looks fine to me, just seems like the sensor is having a hard time reading his movements. Not really my kind of game, though.

Edit: A.I. looks dumb on my second watch, too, but graphics look good. Hit or miss.

what's shoddy about them? Both games look pretty good...The disney game is obviously meant for kids and star wars demo seemed to work pretty good.

Weak list.

Is this the best we have to look forward to?

The only game that im remotely interested in is the Alan Wake game but then again I wont be if they ruin it with Kinect.

You serious? They look awful. Dont look responsive at all, all on rails, no ai whatsoever, poor graphics etc etc. I can understand some people wanting to defend Kinect but you have to look at it from a realistic POV, and they look terrible.

What you said. Star Wars looks terribly laggy, crappy graphics, clipping animations, weak on rails gameplay and simply, a shoddy use of the license. It just looks ****ing awful.

When people have a dream of light saber wars,

, not slow unresponsive canned animations and on rails gameplay. If anyone thinks this is some sort of "unfair hating", check what the majority think.

Some stuff from a press site

I was thinking earlier, and I bet MW3 comes on stage for a live demo (as COD usually does at 360 E3), but they finish with COD Elite free for Gold subs for 6 months or something? Wonder if Sony will demo Battlefield 3, or even funnier if both MW3 and BF3 had to share the same stage :p

Graphics look fine, it's everything involving the gameplay that looks like crap.

Yes, I am. The Disney game has good graphics for a kids' game and gameplay won't have more than basic AI. As far as star wars is considered, it's probably not ready yet? I will give it benefit of doubt unless Microsoft says it's shipping today.

The lag though apparent in places including when he summer saults (doesn't start until he is almost back on the ground) but otherwise the controls look ok (the force push seemed pretty responsive to me).

I only defend Kinect from some usual suspects on this board who will find any/every opportunity to troll even remotely Kinect related threads (like this one). Kinect has it's deficiencies(at least in current form) and there is no denying that.

Edit: It was also known to be on rails since it was shown the first time, so I am not sure if I would criticise that part.

Yeah graphically it looks okay, gone quite childish in the theme, but really the controls seemed way off :pinch:

That's why I was calling them crappy, but yeah standing on their own ground, don't look terrible or anything, I just feel the kiddie look should be left to Lego Star Wars.

They look even more cartoony than they did at E3 last year

Gotta love that gif also :p At least it's actually real now and not fake acting, albeit looking really rough.

Thanks.

Dosn't Google usally do a Live broadcast? google.com/e3

IGN/Gamespot do live videos as well.

The graphics are supposed to look cartoonish.

I know they're suppose to, just doesn't fit in with the bad ass light saber "dueller" I have in mind. Plus The Clone Wars? Never watching that, not a real Star Wars film :p

Never saw the appeal of Star Wars at all myself, so I really couldn't care less either way :laugh:

Thanks.

Dunno, that's news to me. I know gametrailers does one, maybe it's cuz I don't care about what google does though. :p

Some early info seems to have made it's way out of MS.

Voice Search coming to Xbox LIVE

http://www.winrumors.com/e3-microsoft-confirms-voice-search-coming-to-xbox-live/

Not much info on how this will work and what else so we'll still have to wait for the show.

Oh, and also Halo4 is in dev..... thought I'd toss that out there as well.

    • Linux 7.1 arrives with an NTFS overhaul and major hardware performance boosts by Paul Hill The founder of the Linux kernel has just announced the availability of Linux 7.1. This is a stable version of the kernel that will now be tested by various Linux distributions before it is shipped to users through update managers. Some users, like those on Debian, for example, might not get it for a long time, if at all, while Fedora users can expect it in the near future. With Linux 7.1 out on time, the merge window for Linux 7.2 is now open, giving contributors the opportunity to send in major new features that have been waiting for the last two months. Torvalds warned that he is currently travelling and will be in another timezone, so timing for the merge window may be irregular due to timezone differences and limited internet access. Torvalds said that he has already fetched early pull requests to allow him to do some offline work, but the travel could still cause disruption. Right now, he is not planning to extend the release, but did consider it. He said he might later regret not extending, though. In terms of this last week of development for Linux 7.1, Torvalds said there were no major or alarming changes. This week consisted mostly of smaller driver updates to GPU, networking, and sound, networking fixes, trace tooling fixes, and misc minor fixes. The shortlog this week lists fixes for driver bugs, memory leaks, I/O and USB fixes, networking and RDMA fixes, DRM/graphics fixes, and tooling and verification improvements. Specific fixes include USB series heap-overflow and buffer overflow fixes, and multiple use-after-free, memory-leak, and refcount corrections across subsystems such as i2c, zram, gpio, and net. There are fixes for graphics drivers, including amdgpu, i915, and virtio, as well as hypervisor and virtualization tweaks affecting mshv, vmbus, and hyperv. According to Phoronix, anyone running Linux 7.1 should look out for the new NTFS driver, Intel FRED for improved performance on Panther Lake and future CPUs, faster graphics with Intel Arc Battlemage, and improvements for older AMD Radeon GPUs. If you are running Linux on your computer and everything is fine, then you don’t need to worry about updating to Linux 7.1 as a priority; just wait for it to be pushed to you. If you have tried Linux on hardware but it didn’t work properly, trying again with a distro that uses Linux 7.1 could cause Linux to work on your machine, thanks to the new hardware support.
    • you can also do this with this tool: PowerSettingsExplorer made by mbk1969 at 3dguru forum.. I found it by accident researching on modern standby and annoying quirks of it in 2022
