This is just a question so don’t flame

Tell me, are any of you people disappointed with the outcome of E3 for the Xbox? I know there was a lot of hype about the E3 so would u say it’s lived up to what we all expected. I was reading that the last day of E3 MS would go out with a big bang so would u say they did. I have been reading bits and pieces from all over the place, and only found small pieces of information that I already did not know about.
Was anything firm said about Halo 2?
Anymore-exclusive games?
Anything said about PAL playing NTSC?
The release date of Xbox live and not just a statement saying end of the 3 quarter?

Don’t get me wrong I’m not knocking it, and if people could share some info that I may not know then great. I just want to know what other people feel like know the E3 has finished.

I was hoping for a little more, like Madden and/or WWE RAW on xbox live. If that had happened I would've been ecstatic.

Apparently Halo 2 will be announced in an interview on monday wiht some high up Xbox guy. According to various posts on teamxbox.

I personally woudlent have minded hearing something on that Knights of Decayden RPG that is rumoured to be in development. but oh well im sure we will hear soon enough.

What did everyone think of Panzer Dragoon and Blinx? I think these are on my to buy list for the end of the year.

I donno why u guys r so dissapointed, i thought the outcome of E3 was pretty fair. I do understand some reasons why you could be 'dissapionted,' but xbox is the only council goin live. Let's cut em some slack, pretty much any game live will be amasing. Think about it.

I think MS was very sucessful at E3 and was very pleased with all anounced , I saw more games I wanted on Xbox than on any other platform, and since this is Xbox's "reaL" E3 they stole the show , hands down, with more innovative Ideas and groundbreaking concepts , exactly what they said they were going to do,

I just want to know what other people feel like know the E3 has finished. here's what i think. i think that xbox OVERHYPED what they said they were going to deliver ("7 TOTALY SUPER secret ULTRA COOL GAMES THAT WILL BLOW EVERYTHING AWAY BY LEAPS AND BOUNDS" ...YADA YADA YADA) but the stuff they showed was just some regular same 'ol sheit! like "blinx" ... oh my god!... yay!:rolleyes: ...ahem, anyways, i mean i was waiting for a dino crisis 3 mega preview, or some "top secret super cool game"... ok, there was ONE REALLY COOL GAME THAT WAS A TOP SECRET GAME THATS GONNA ROCK THE XBOX AND THAT WAS NINJA GAIDEN! other than that it was all same ol same ol stuff. but the games that they said they were going to show like unreal championship (and 180 others that we already knew about) etc.. were frikin awesome! i also think that since they keep pushing back the release dates, while overhyping the games, that it's focking up the xbox's reputation/integrity. oh, well, that's the way i see it anyways.:eek:

I was overwhelmed by the volume of information coming at us from E3. It took me a few days to absorb it all. I was very pleased by E3. Three things stand out the most in my mind:

1) The amazing $50 package deal for XBOX Live

2) Blinx -- this little title is going to shake the industry up once people get a feel for it.

3) Star Wars Galaxies coming to XBOX. I don't know if I can wait a whole year after the PC release, however.

If anything looks or sounds overhyped, it's your post. Can you quote Microsoft on saying what you were saying? I don't believe Microsoft represented themselves in the way you just showed. From what I have read from various sources, Microsoft had a very professional E3 show; I don't think you would expect otherwise from Microsoft. They got a huge title wave of games coming out later this year and early next year. Blinx is pretty much my #1 most wanted game and many follow close behind. Microsoft took the show, and the majority believe that way, even the people at Planetgamecube.com do. Give credit where credit is due. It goes to Microsoft this year...

I think it was xbox fans who hyped it a lot not MS. And im pretty sure they did shot a low of new games.

Blinx looks cool, but Im not really into mascot games. The whole time thing was a very innovative idea and I wish it would be integrated in more realistic games (stealth games, ect...)

The XBL announcement was enough for me. That $50 introductory package will keep me on for a year anyway.

I have no idea what the end price will be, but if you have broadband there is really no excuse not to try it out.
