Microsoft press conference bingo results

by Alexander Sliwinski on Jul 15th 2008 3:30AM

Ohhhh, you thought we all won the Microsoft co-op prediction bingo game? Nope, we're all failures. See, the rules were that the things on the card had to be mentioned during the press conference and, although many things on here came to fruition, they didn't fall within the rules of the game. Feel free to play along with Nintendo and Sony tomorrow. After the break we've added links for boxes crossed off and added another card with all pre-conference items crossed off as well -- bad news, we're still all losers.

The breakdown (from left to right and going down):

Community Games wasn't highlighted, but it was in there.
Fable 2 Online Co-op
Banjo-Kazooie/Avatars -- we're a little flaky on this one.
60GB hard drive
Too Human demo
Dashboard Reborn
Avatars
Xbox 360 price cut
LIPS
Top secret XBLA games

Well, nice try.

MS really blew it, letting down our expectations. No Alan Wake news? I don't even know what that game is but I keep hearing it's the greatest thing since sliced bread, and no updates? That means it's delayed until winter 2009, right?

You forgot new SKU to check off and five player co-op should count for something.

Yup.

Forgot to check off the New SKU.

Also, Final Fantasy XIII should be counted for something.

The 5 player co-op should count for the 4 player as technically I'm sure you can do it with 4. If you wouldn't have been so picky with the details.

I can't help but feel that the rumored motion-controller was the LIPS motion-sensitive mic...?

I assume Wednesday will lead to a green X across "Bungie talks new game."

I don't know if they mentioned it at the conference, but the Too Human is out on XBox Live now. Downloaded it while I was at work but haven't had a chance to try it yet - looking at trailers...

You forgot to mark the Too Human demo, which DID arrive on XBLM.

shouldnt 60GB be off as well?

Wait a sec, what was the secret Rare game? All I saw was some Banjo-Kazooey footage...wasn't that for XBL, some port of the original? Or are they making a new, HD, one (ugh)? Why can't the secret game have been Goldeneye 360?

I don't understand why the 60 gig harddrive was not mentioned on the keynote. Because if MS is serious about pushing this digital service they need space and lots of it. As far as media wars goes I still think PS3 is nr 1 with blue ray player and 3rd party hard drives support. MS need to step up and get some things done here.

Otherwise I missed Killer Instinct 3, new Halo game and the new game from Bungie on the show. Hopefully more info on all this will come later this year. Maybe for X08? They will still have that yes?

If you're not really into JRPGs there wasn't much to shout home about.

Seems like the big three are all focussing too much on casual games.

MS both impressed and bored me. i just hope with all the new live features that silver gets basic multiplayer. i don't care for the music games, and the vision cam stuff was cool but most of its been done. overall a good showing.

Too Human demo is on LIVE guys.

Technically Microsoft did announce a motion sensitive controller. The microphones for Lips are motion sensitive...

New Xbox 360 sku was announced (60 gig pack)
Halo Wars release was announced for spring 09 after the conference
Gears is 5 not 4, so... shouldn't it count?
Motion control is in Lips controller? I say that counts.
