Microsoft presented first once again and primarily focused on Kinect, but featured gameplay demos of Halo Reach, Gears of War 3, and Call of Duty Black Ops. New trailers were shown for Metal Gear Rising, and a lot of on stage demonstrations for Kinect. Saving the best for last though, Microsoft confirmed the new Xbox 360 which is slimed down, black, and features built in wifi and a 250 GB Hard Drive. It will be available this week for purchase. Here a few notes I put down as I watched the conference on Spike:
Call of Duty: Black Ops demoed- For the next three years, All Call of Duty DLC will appear on 360 first for a set period of time
Metal Gear Rising gameplay was shown- Awesome slashing action!
Gears of War 3 was demoed with the 4-player co-op support. It will also contain a new mode coming called Beast
Halo Reach single player was demoed- Might include space combat
ESPN partners with Xbox to deliver tons of sports action. Free for Gold Members
Kinectamals and Kinect Sports shown. Pretty similiar to Wii Sports
Kinect will launch November 4th 2010
New Slim Xbox 360 will be $299. Available this week!
