Video Recap: Microsoft's E3 Press Briefing

We offer some perspective on Microsoft's morning media conference, and talk about the best and worst that the company had to show.

Between new Halo 4, Resident Evil 6, Tomb Raider, and Call of Duty: Black Ops II demos, the 360 looks like it is going to have some impressive games on the way in the coming months. But did Microsoft have enough big surprises to share for its big E3 show?

Check out the video below to hear Dan Ryckert and myself discuss Microsoft's briefing.

  • wish i was at E3

  • No Xbox 720? No Xbox 720 :c
  • this was good
  • disappointing but e3 never lives up to expectations. I wan't a new ip. there was a time when we got exclusives new games like mass effect.
  • I personally thought the conference was pretty "meh". The only things that got me excited at all were games that are going to be on other platforms anyways. At least, I really hope Splinter Cell is going to be on PS3 too. It wouldn't make sense for Ubisoft to miss out on getting the game into more people's hands.
  • The Kinect stuff and Xbox Glass are stupid. Very disappointing press conference.
  • Nice recap, i think it wasnt the best, but totally not the worst

  • How in the world did Ben shoot and edit this video that fast?
  • Dan Central

  • So far, my bet is still on Nintendo. I have a feeling that for the third year in the row, Nintendo gonna win E3.

  • Sony has got to bring it big this year with it's stock the way it is
  • I give a grade D to microsoft conference, I could not believe it was lame like last year. Is up to Sony and Nintendo to bring the heat to this year E3.
  • What a shithole.
  • Another boring showing for MS. Show is wide open for sony or nintendo

  • I liked it. They showed off some great looking games, and teases several I want to know more about, especially Lococycle and Matter. I'm really interested to see what devs do with SmartGlass. The only time I was disappointing was the nearly 10 minute long COD:BO2 demo at the end. Love them or hate them, I think MS always has be best production and stage shows.

  • Microsoft SmartGlass = crappy WiiU tablet clone. 'Nuff said.
  • seems like there is still a lot of room for growth in this generations consoles, microsoft won't take the step to the next generation until they hit a real wall.

  • Would have liked to hear some more about the game they teased from Crytech (I think) last year. the kinect one set in Rome, think it was called Ryse. seemed like it might be the first kinect game worth getting
  • Come on mods. Just because I have an opinion about microsoft that happens to be negative it gets deleted? There was no swearing or hostility. I gave them a C-, not a negative F. I even said positive things about their continuing franchises! I'll just post it again and again.

    As a consumer the grade I give them is a generous C-.

    There was so much fitness trainer kinect garbage, bing garbage, xbox music garbage today. What happened to playing games on a game console? If this is the future of the GAME industry what a horrible pit of mediocrity it's stumbling into.

    They need to stop trying to be an all in one box and focus on games. If I want internet i'll go on my computer. The only good things were continuing franchises. They didn't show off enough of "Matter" or that Twisted Pixel game to get me excited.

    I am disappoint.
