Title: Who watched the MS keynote speech?
Post by: Ryu on March 29, 2001, 10:03:56 PM
Personally, I thought it was garbage.  I know they threw Sega in there, but that was about the only interesting, and the shortest, part of the entire speech of the night (afternoon for them).  Plus, it was about as exciting as watching grass grow, no one on the floor was enthused about anything.  I know the Japanese are a bit quiet and humble at corporate events, but the gamecube got hoots and hollers from everyone when it was unveiled in Japan and all MS got was *clap clap clap*

This is dissapointing seriously.  I\'m gonna buy an x-box for 3 big titles I\'m really looking forward to, but this was a HUGE blunder on MS\' part.  I\'m sorry, there\'s no way to really show any positive thoughts on their showing other then the sega showing and afterwards, overall angst.

I saw it. It sucked (although I liked that winged beast demo).

But I think your mistaken about the audience. It was muted 70% of the time cause of the translator. I could be wrong i guess.

Yah man.  No one\'s questioning x-box graphics or games, I\'m just saying his speech and presentation were terrible.  Hell, the graphics looks great, I\'ll be the first non-fanboy to admit that, but what the hell was up with them focusing on games we have already seen rather then the Sega games we were all anticipating from the announcment?  I would have been floored by more Panzer Dragoon footage then anything else.
