Modern Warfare 3:
The demo they showed was an underwater sub mission. I've been disappointed with the last few CoD titles, but I have to say this one does look epic. I'm happy that we're going to be back in modern times with incredibly realistic graphics. Call of Duty MW3 DLC will be available FIRST on Xbox 360. Look for this one releasing November 8th, 2011.
Tomb Raider:
The game features a 21 year old Lara Croft in the situation that makes her the Tomb Raider we all know and love. Shipwrecked and held captive, Lara has to use her survival instincts to free herself. The game is 3rd person and is intense and visceral. The game will feature open environments and exploration as well. Release will be sometime in Q4 2012.
Tom Clancy Ghost Recon Future Soldier:
The main focus during this demo was on the full Kinect compatibility in the gameplay with body tracking being used even for motion and firing. Close your fist to fire, open it to stop firing and the gun points according to where your body turns. The graphics are just as good as what was featured in the MW3 demo and this looks to be an intensely immersive gaming experience. Weapons will be totally customizable for each situation, right down to the inner parts. Players can choose to have the game customize them automatically, or do the customization themselves. No release date was announced, however it was announced that ALL future Tom Clancy titles will be fully Kinect compatible.
Gears of War 3:
Horde mode is BACK, baby, and Ice T has reunited Body Count to do a song about it. Jicinto has fallen, and your ragtag group is now floating on the ocean aboard a huge ship. They're being chased by a giant infected and extremely pissed off Leviathan. They touted this as being the "best, most polished Gears of War title yet," giving us all something to look forward to.
Fable The Journey:
The end of Albion is coming, and now, all that matters is the journey itself. Heroes are no longer born but made, and once again that is your role. Again fully Kinect compatible I was thrilled to see during the demo the spell action where you actually physically "charge" and "throw" your spells at enemies. This is coming sometime in 2012.
Forza Motorsports 4:
This game will feature Kinect voice and head tracking, monthly expansions, and up to 16 player multiplayer on Xbox Live. There will also be Xbox Live car clubs where you can show off your customized cars. This game will have something for the casual fans as well as hardcore racing gamers. Look for it October 11, 2011.
RYSE:
This totally new game is a first person totally Kinect compatible RPG taking place during the fall of the Roman Empire. Use your body to fight, swing your sword and move through the world in what looks to be a fantastically immersive experience. Even during the demo control looked smooth, without the lag that sometimes occurs with Kinect motion control.
Halo Combat Evolved Anniversary Edition:
The classic Halo has been remade and remastered with enhanced and updated multiplayer maps and online coop. 7 classic multiplayer maps as well as a fully remastered campaign. This one is coming November 15th.
Kinect Sports Season 2:
This game will feature golf, darts, tennis, baseball, football, and skiing. The golf game allows you to use voice commands in order to change clubs, and you can now use a totally natural swing, just like you would on the golf course. The football app allows you to voice call plays, and features multiplayer coop.
Mass Effect 3:
As the rumors predicted, Mass Effect 3 will feature Kinect support to provide a more immersive experience. Instead of using the controller to select your conversation options, you will now be able to use Kinect voice support to speak the lines yourself. You will also be able to use voice commands during combat to tell your team members when to move up, hold position or regroup. Earth has been taken and Commander Shepard has to get it back. Coming in Q1 2012.
Kinect Star Wars:
Fight as a Jedi on Tatooine, Corouscant, Endor, and other worlds from the movies. Want Kinect control of your lightsaber? You got it. Want Kinect capability for force push ability? You got it! This may be the ultimate game for Star Wars fans.
Minecraft:
That's right, I said Minecraft. The incredibly popular PC game that lets you build your own world and explore worlds built by your friends is coming to console, exclusively on the Xbox 360 this winter.
Dance Central 2:
One of the most exciting features of the new Dance Central is the simultaneous multiplayer dance off , and the inclusion of a new campaign mode. All Dance Central 1 songs will be able to be imported into the new game, making more than 100 songs available for play at the release.
Kinect Funlabs:
Kinect Funlabs will let you explore the best of community created programs for the Kinect. This is going LIVE TODAY, so be sure to check it out. Apps that use facial and body scanning to truly make YOU the avatar, a finger tracking program that lets you create totally 3D art, and object capture that allows you to create a virtual version of any object.
Microsoft also announced some new features coming to Xbox Live. This year, Microsoft will be introducing 10 times more partnerships including Bing voice search which will search libraries in Netflix, Hulu Plus, and Microsoft Entertainment and Music catalogs to bring you the content that you want. Even more exciting is the fact that this year Microsoft will be bringing live TV including news, sports and local channels.
Finally, I'll wrap it up with Microsoft's biggest surprise - a new TRILOGY coming to Xbox 360:
That, my friends is a screen shot from the announcement trailer of Halo 4. And they did announce it as a new TRILOGY.
Happy gaming! Come back for more coverage later this evening.
