Let's Start E3. Microsoft Press Conference

Microsoft's press conference done like 4 more to go. Biggest take away from the press conference, "Smart Glass". Microsoft is just going all in on smart glass, even showing how it can interact with gameplay. it reminds me of their kinect push. Speaking of which not a single mention of kinect. Good on them. Some important bullet points before talking about games. -November release (that oh so important holiday time slot) -$499 price tag -Until it's release Xbox Live Gold members will get 2 free game downloads a month (from a select library) -Microsoft points are gone Now I'm not going into huge detail here, because there are many that I don't have very much to say on. We did get our annuals: Forza 5 (Drivatar new favorite word), Battlefield 4, Halo (or at least the promise of a halo game in 2014). We got the nostalgia driven games:Killer Instinct and Crimson Dragon (See panzer dragoon). We got some "Show stoppers": Metal Gear Solid 5 (if MGS and GTA fused), Ryse - Son of Rome (about time this thing happened), TitanFall (it's an Fps that also has giant robots). Aside from those there where some more that I just don't feel compelled to mention and two that actually caught my interest. Sunset Overdrive and Dead Rising 3. Essentially they seem to be the same game. 3rd person action. Go around a city fighting mutants and zombies respectively. Using some kind of crazy weapon to fight the seemingly endless horde. The difference is Sunset Overdrive is more of a cartoon than Dead Rising 3. It is a very stylized game which might give it a little charm similar to a Saints Row. Now as of right now, gun to my head pick one over the other I'd lean towards Dead Rising 3. Solely because they showed game play footage that looked genuinely fun. But enough of my ramblings I have more conferences to prep for.
