Vita?

VITA™ stands for Violence Is The Answer. A clique set up by Syn for all those who believed that violence was the answer if we wanted to win the League in the face of the scummery of Stoke/Blackkburn etc. Sadly, only Sir Jack really stepped up in an attempt to fulfil this dream. The rest of the team pussied out.

But VITA™ goes on. I'd set up a clique page, but it's Syn's baby and more importantly, I can't be bothered.

E3 on Monday eh?

E3 .

I remember when I read about it each year in games magazines. It was so exciting.

Now you can watch all the companies' press conferences live. The Internet . Still exciting tbf.

Xbox's is on at 5:30 our time I think which is a bit annoying, well for me anyway.

I guess it could be delayed like last year.

Nintendo's is the only one that matters tbh.

Microsoft seems to be just adding Kinect to every big-name game in an attempt to make it attractive to "hardcore" gamers.

Maybe Valve will WUM everyone by actually making a shock appearance and announcing Half Life 3.

Which won't be out until 2019 of course.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Forza 4 is the only one I can think of. Although interestingly L.A Noire does mention Kinect on the beginning screen, not sure if the PS version does the same for Move but it doesn't yet have support.

I'll take interest for the Nintendo one because I have Nintendo stuff and I'll take interest for the Microsoft one because I have Microsoft stuff.

There have been leaks of boxarts ranging from the next Ghost Recon to Mass Effect 3, which all show Kinect compatibilty. I think a Gears Of War Kinect game is pretty much confirmed too. They're trying to shoe-horn it into everything. It is Microsoft's MO of course.

It's a shame most things get leaked or are shown to the press weeks in advance these days. Only a few companies have surprises these days.

But still, E3 .

I guess from the Microsoft's standpoint, they have to do something with Kinect, for those who have it! I'm not even sure Microsoft have realised what an advanced piece of tech they actually created. I'm guessing the Mass Effect one would only be as an optional extra. I don't play Ghost Recon so they can do what they like to that.

They will be showing off the Star wars Kinect game too. Should be interesting.

I had a kinect for xmas but I dont have a mansion sized living room so it didnt work properly, kept jumping into the sofa!

The voice controls were fantastic though. They have announced head tracking for use with forza 4, looks really good.
