Is this game a fucking watermelon cutting simulator?

They can't very well show him hacking peoples' brains out at an event like this...

 

[shwimpy]

That's it? Lame... next!

 

[InaudibleWhispa]

It's so sad I'm sitting here reading someones explanation of watching a man on a stage, playing a game, slicing watermelons.

What am I doing...

This is the future man! You're reading the writings of a man who is watching a robot juggle bowling pins as a man slices them with a sword in Japan live!!

 

[Dead Prince]

Phil Spencer takes the stage!

This will be good sales time.

McWhertor: Corporate VP Phil Spencer is here to talk on behalf of Microsoft Game Studios.
7:50
McWhertor: He starts with a little Japanese.

Don't embarass yourself :lol

 

[mello]

MGS Slicing...... ¬_¬

 

[Gomu Gomu]

Remember when I joked about this live demo being just for slicing random stuff? Apperantly I was correct :lol

 

[StealthGoblin]

So they basically walked on, sliced up some shit and walked off.

Mental.

 

[makingmusic476]

No release date for Rising. =(

Bah.

 

[No_Style]

Metal Gear Rising, most realistic fruit salad simulator in the world.

 

[Shard]

Seems like the same old, same old with Rising.

 

[Platy]

I just LOVE how they love to show a mecanic designed to cut PEOPLE in half in bloody ways cutting watermelons xD

 

[StuBurns]

Game like MGS:R (a serious stealth game turn into lame cut & slice-them-up) and enthusiasm from the people here, show how immature the gaming industry is.

You can complete MGSR without killing anyone.

 

[Kibbles]

9:51PM He's trying to make gamers remember the "instant fun" of putting a coin into a gaming machine, but we're wondering how many American gamers even remember arcades these day

Oh fuck, doesn't sound good.

 

[Wario64]

So they basically walked on, sliced up some shit and walked off.

Mental.

But as you can see, the game is going according to schedule as they finally code a build with real-time watermelon slicing.

 

[Dead Prince]

IGN: No Kinect support for MGS Rising, nope.

.

BOO.

McWhertor: "What does Japanese developer success look like today?" Phil asks.

this will be good.

 

[Varion]

IGN:
"You can see that Metal Gear Solid Rising is being developed according to schedule."

IGN:
No word on a specific release date, and the MGS Rising team has departed.

wat? :lol

Rising is going to be released on a date! We can't tell you it.

15 mins of an hour? long presentation spent slicing things :lol Just incredible how uninteresting they can make this thing sound.

 

[Gomu Gomu]

Rising looks so awesome.

 

[Kandinsky]

Btw, met up w/ Yukio Futatsugi, creator of Panzer Dragoon and Phantom Dust. He's got a new "PD" to announce today. Wait for it.

OMFG WAT!?!

 

[sixteen-bit]

Phantom Dust is the best game no one played

i played it and loved it

 

[wizword]

Game like MGS:R (a serious stealth game turn into lame cut & slice-them-up) and enthusiasm from the people here, show how immature the gaming industry is.

I am sorry but this is the best game mechanic in terms of visceral fun in a while

 

[ArjanN]

Game like MGS:R (a serious stealth game turn into lame cut & slice-them-up) and enthusiasm from the people here, show how immature the gaming industry is.

*Sigh*
MGS was always ridiculous.
And it's a demo of the tech to show it's real-time.

Maybe you need to grow up.

 

[Shard]

Oh boy, charts and graphs time.

 

[Dead Prince]

McWhertor: At retail, worldwide consumer purchase of Japanese games have doubled from the last generation, he says.

McWhertor: $1 billion on the original Xbox, $2.1 billion on the Xbox 360.


McWhertor: That does not include revenue from the online business, Xbox Live.

McWhertor: Five of the top six bestselling XBLA games come from Japan - MvC2, Bomberman Live, SFII HD Remix, Castlevania: SotN

WHATTHEWHAT.gif

 

[asdad123]

WTF TGS is today? Fuck school/work taking so much of my time that I lost track of it haha :lol

 

[Busaiku]

That $2.1 billion doesn't sound too impressive for the worldwide retail audience.

 

[Shard]

Yes, get to the tasty, tasty XBLA games.

 

[StuBurns]

Rising looks so awesome.

Looks like they improved the shadowing, nice.

 

[Dead Prince]

McWhertor: Phil wants to expand the community from tens of millions to hundreds of millions he says. That begins with games like Halo: Reach.

McWhertor: Halo: Reach generated $200 million in one day sales, he says.

Thanks US and EU.

McWhertor: Reach also broke the previous record for simultaneous users on Xbox Live.

.

 

[brotkasten]

Oh boy, charts and graphs time.

They have to do that somewhere, right?:lol

 

[Gomu Gomu]

Five of the top six bestselling XBLA games come from Japan - MvC2, Bomberman Live, SFII HD Remix, Castlevania: SotN

WHAT? people bought that? :x

edit: never mind, I thought it was that horrible re-skinned Bomberman.

 

[LOZLINK]

Talking about halo reach to the Japanese? Really?

 

[Seda]

 

[Kibbles]

Halo: Reach generated $200 million in one day sales, he says.

$_$

 

[Dabanton]

(MS didn't specifically say no Kinect support for MGS Rising, they just didn't mention it at all and played on a standard controller).

.

 

[IrishNinja]

McWhertor:

yeah...that's not too encouraging when you look at the age on those games.

 

[Shard]

I suppose they do.

 

[Seda]

nvm

 

[Dead Prince]

McWhertor: "We're currently the #1 selling console across Europe," he says. And the #1 console in North America for the 3rd month in a row. Brag brag brag.

But what about Japan? :lol

 

[Dabanton]

one day sales

bonkers

 

[Platy]

Compare original Xbox sales in japan with anything is unfair =P

 

[Wario64]

yeah...that's not too encouraging when you look at the age on those games.

They're all established franchises too...or re-releases

 

[Kagari]

But what about Japan? :lol

Number -1.

 

[V_Ben]

But what about Japan? :lol

F*ck Japan! :lol

 

[ultim8p00]

why are they talking about reach sales IN JAPAN?

It's like "5 of the 6 XBLA games are from Japan..."

'BUT HALO REACH SHITS ON EVERYTHING. FUCK THAT"

 

[Busaiku]

5 new partnerships.
Sounds cool.

 

[Dead Prince]

McWhertor: Five brand new creative partnerships with Japanese developers are about to be announced.
7:57
McWhertor: Exclusively for the Xbox 360, Phil says.
