While I use this blog to write, I hope that the climax of the day is yet to come. Activision organises tonight in the Staples Center press event-cum-party, which – so goes the rumour – very spectacular. Until now, we may, however, also not complain. Microsoft had this morning a very solid press conference for us, with a number of strong ‘hardcore’games and a lot of information about the much talked about Kinect. That was at times impressive and sometimes not at all, but I incline now to believe that Kinect is actually something to add. Control menus with your hands sounds good, while some applications of Kinect like in appearance. Hoogtepuntje? I’ll just say: I found the tijgertje in talking ben the dog very cute. If it works as Microsoft wanted you to believe during the press conference, this is not only fun for children, but for everyone. The concept of ‘virtual pet’ gets a whole other dimension.
Electronic Arts was not against, but had little news to report. Of course, there was the announcement of Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit, but that was it more or less. Of the other games were what new things will let you in, but it came to games that we piece by piece already on earlier occasions had seen. That last you can, however, also be seen as a “luxury-problem”, so we will not complain about it. Anyway: EA has a strong line-up, and with Dead Space 2, Medal of Honor, Bulletstorm and Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit there will be four games in that direct hits seem to be.
Yes, that feast of Activision. More about that later, first the press conferences. What concerns me were there on Monday just two of the highlights. To begin with, the Smart, the new version of the Xbox 360. Though they had the device of me the Silent call, because that is why I am so into the new version of lookout. That he is smaller and shiny, I do not find so fascinating. That he has a hard drive of 250 GB is already more interesting, but that was actually already on the market. That the disk is built, is less exciting, though it is nice that the new model standard of a Wi-fi module is provided. The model is for me particularly interesting because it is quieter. Because that is the main objection to the console of Microsoft; he makes a lot of noise, especially in comparison with the great silent PlayStation 3. Hopefully the Slim is just as silent.
Further, I was particularly amazed and surprised about the Michael Jackson game from Ubisoft. Images from the game, could the publisher not yet show, and it was only reported that the game will make use of the latest generation of drive mechanisms’, which probably means that the game can be controlled via Kinect. The French publisher had with Your Shape: Fitness Evolved already see how well Kinect with the dancing players can handle. A separate dance game brand, is a Dance Dance Revolution without the mat, is for the hand, but with a game around Michael Jackson makes Ubisoft might be right, the dance game brand-of-dansgames. I personally will not immediately warm for walking, and that applies may be for more Tweakers. However, it is surprising that Ubisoft so soon after the death of the poplegende a deal has know to connect with the survivors and has received permission for his music to be allowed to use.
