As far as keynotes go I thought this one was pretty good. Not the greatest orator (though you don't expect anyone to be when running through Japanese XBL Arcade titles,) but still able to deliver some great, forceful points (especially on the marketing side) while building for the big finishers of Halo Wars and Halo 3 Recon.

I wish we could have had some video, but it was nice being able to listen to this while on my way to class.

Wow. This was not a good thing to listen to. You really needed to be able to watch it. Marc (i think that's who was speaking) was stumbling all over the place with his script and sounded very monotonous. I would have enjoyed watching the NXE presentation. Maybe I'll catch that on the web in the next couple days...

King of Fighters Ultimate Match - BRANG IT!!! BRANNNNNNG IT!

@WAHsu

It was a small let down, but I guess that will be a gift for my next birthday. I only wish that MS offered XNA $49.99 Cards (plus the cable) like MS Point Cards. Those would make great gifts for (you) and my friends who are game devs or would-be game devs.

Star Ocean on Mar 3, 2009!?!?! Yes! Noooo, (Street Fighter IV is scheduled before that) wait, YES!

Tekken 6 in the Fall. YES! ("Take THAT KillaKev!" but I honor thy controller - Are we STILL in trouble?)

Space Invaders Extreme on Xbox Live!?!!? HOLY ONLINE GAME PLAY!!! This game rocks on Nintendo DS!!

Is that true? You can't play XNA games without paying for XNA? Is that why I don't see "The Dishwasher"?

Thats lame. I don't really buy arcade games but the few I did want seem to be XNA related.

Way to go Moronsoft.

MAJOR NELSON!!!!!

What kind of scam is this XNA games?

100mp but we cannot play unless we have a membership for the XNA Creators club!

Perhaps there should be a warning on there before we download the game!!!!

FALSE ADVERTISEMENT WILL GET YOU IN TROUBLE!!!!

Halo 3 Recon - new character, new campaign.

Fall 2009? ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!?! NEXT YEAR?

We FINALLY get some single player content for all these FPS and we have to wait a year. ONE HUNDRED TONS OF FAIL.

And in before the SEVEN MILLION "I CAN HAZ RECON" jokes start...

Marty can watch me play a USED retail copy then (because if it is DLC, then like the Halo Legendary Map Pack, MAJOR PASS). Just like my copy of Gears 2 will most likely be because it seems game developers can not make anything THIS YEAR other than RELIT MAPS and new multiplayer modes. YAWN. I would have prefered Halo 3 VISTA over having to wait a year for new single player content.

XBox 360 - Wake me WHEN I MIGHT CARE.

I do not know if you guys have heard of the new halo three recon coming in 2009. It was announced a the TGS, and is set to be a prologue of Halo 3. Adam Sessler from G4 just did a good piece called finish them. It's a piece targeting against developing companies throwing half done games out and having to purchase or wait for the content. Instead of delaying and waiting for good things, the rush and we get slapped in the face for crap and then have to pay 1600 ms points to get the total experience. Example fable 2 multiplayer, Oblivion just to name a few. I rather wait a while for a whole game than pay and pay again for crap. I know the business is about money, but in the long run, if u sell a quality product your fanbase will back you. Unless halo does something amazing and unique, i think the run is over. Stop beating a dead horse. Rest in peace Spartan-117
