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.

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:

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.

    • Here is how I fixed Windows 11 not booting after clean installation

      Useful to know, thanks!
    • Here is how I fixed Windows 11 not booting after clean installation

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Here is how I fixed Windows 11 not booting after clean installation by Taras Buria Story time. A couple of weeks ago, I experienced a very odd thing with my computers. I was trying to reinstall Windows 11 on my primary device, and everything was going smoothly until the installer performed the first restart. After that, my computer entered the boot disk selection screen instead of continuing the setup process. Huh, that's odd, said I, and selected Windows Boot Manager only to see it fall back into the same screen right away. Then I tried booting from the USB drive with the same result—the PC kept returning to the boot device selection screen, and removing the drive would send my PC to UEFI, again, with no way to launch Windows 11. I fired up my spare laptop, which has been sitting unused for quite a while, to see if I am dealing with a defective USB drive. Nope, Windows 11 installed and started without issues. After trying another drive and checking all the possible settings in UEFI, I decided to try disabling Secure Boot. Lo and behold, Windows 11 started as it should have been in the first place, continued the setup process, and reached the initial setup screen. Victory! After I finished the setup and applied all updates, I re-enabled Secure Boot, and Windows 11 started without issues. Some time later, I tried reinstalling Windows 11 on my laptop only to experience similar issues, with UEFI claiming a Secure Boot violation. I checked whether the drive works on my main PC, and yes, it installed Windows 11 without errors. I scratched my head, went to UEFI, turned off Secure Boot, and installed Windows 11 without issues. After that, I enabled Secure Boot. Note: I used the official Media Creation Tool app for my USB drive. Also, UEFI was properly configured for Windows 11, including no Legacy Mode, a GPT-partitioned drive, and TPM and Secure Boot enabled. From my experience, if you are dealing with similar symptoms, I recommend two things: If you use old Windows 11 install media, create a new one with the latest Windows 11 release, especially if you know your PC already has the latest Secure Boot certificates. If you cannot create a new one, turn off Secure Boot, complete the installation, download all available updates, and then re-enable Secure Boot in UEFI. Note that you need to turn off Secure Boot after installing Windows 11. Otherwise, the installer won't run, claiming a hardware requirements mismatch. I believe the problem hides in Secure Boot certificates that expire this month. Microsoft is currently rolling out new certificates, and maybe a mismatch was causing these issues for both of my systems. I am out of my depth to make a definitive statement; this article is flagged as "Opinion," as I only share my experience and some tips on how to fix the problem. If some of you possess deeper knowledge and understanding of the situation, please share it in the comments. As for everyone else struggling with computers not booting after a clean install, the two steps above should get you out of the pickle.

      I gave the tool a chance the other day to make a USB. An hour later it was stuck at 0% downloaded. I downloaded the official ISO, downloaded Rufus, and made the USB myself in 15 min.
    • what other retro software do yall use

      By Nick H. · Posted

      <Moved to software discussion and support> I've got fond memories of Winamp. Changing the skins, the different visualisations etc. But now I just need a simple music player. MSN messenger would be another one, MSN Messenger Plus (I think?) offered so many different plugins. But again, it probably wouldn't work for me these days. And then there is miRC. i think it's still going these days, but lord i had fun with that back in the day. Now it's mostly stuff like Discord, WhatsApp group chats, Signal, Telegram... /me is showing his age...
