The free stuff they are giving away for watching Mixer stream is being awarded and not something to win. Make sure to make a Mixer account now just in case the site gets hammered on Sunday.

Not win, just awarded for being awesome and tuning in on #Mixer!

Guys, talking about banjo, dont do this to me, or yourselves this year. Its the same hurt every summer.

It's not the same. This will hurt way more than any other summer. The game is basically semi-announced at this point.

Banjo ain't happening, it just isn't. I'm not going to get on the rollercoaster just to be let down when its not shown on Sunday.

This. Lower your expectations, people.

I still haven't forgotten how disappointing last year's conference were when it came to new announcements. I don't see how this year's presentation is going to be much better.

 

[bananafactory]

Guys we aren't getting AC at 60fps with that processor unless there's some voodoo going on. Ubi games are very CPU heavy.

Some of the other predictions seem very realistic though.

Agreed, I'm already off the coaster. Never, NEVER underestimate Microsoft's ability to completely shit the bed when it comes to their games division.

I wouldn't expect any 4K/60fps games outside of proven Forza 7, and maybe some indies like Cuphead.

It's not just that, though. I mean Rare is just not a big studio at the moment and I'm sure they're working hard to finish SoT.

And BK3 doesn't align at all with MS services strategy. I don't see how they make that work.

Banjo would be DOA anyway on Xbox. Look at Yooka-Laylee.

If it's a $20 budget title done by a small team at Rare. They aren't going to sink sizes le money into it, no

Isn't Rare 200 devs or something?

 

[BTM]

Haven't missed a hype train since joining GAF. One ticket please.

Also, let's not get our hopes up too high here guys. I'm sure the show will be great but lets keep our expectations in check a little lol. These 3 days are going to be a tough wait.

 

[VlaudTheImpaler]

Sorry for the delay, as always, when I decide to devote time to be social life also decides to throw a wrench my way.

Anyhow, I filled the first train!

If you have asked me to include you and you don't see yourself on here it's because I am reserving you for the next train. Trying to make all these random avatars look slightly decent when thrown together is a tougher job than you think lol.

Anyway, I'm working on the next train now, I'll try to get it posted tonight. HYPE!!!

Also, God bless those who have clear background PNG avatars. I may or may not have grabbed some without asking lol.

 

[SlipperyMoose]

So we got the announcement that Scorpio got an extra gig of useable Ram and the conference is going to be longer than originally planned. I shouldn't be as excited as I am right now. Expectations rarely meet reality.

 

[Leflus]

And BK3 doesn't align at all with MS services strategy. I don't see how they make that work.

Episodic release -> A similar structure to the first B-K could work as an episodic release.
Bundled with Game Pass -> Self-explanatory
Co-op support -> Banjo X (Banjo remake) was supposed to have co-op
Extra content as paid DLC

There.

That said, we don't know if every game from MS will be GaaS from now on.

 

[EvB]

It's not just that, though. I mean Rare is just not a big studio at the moment and I'm sure they're working hard to finish SoT.

They have 2 studios

You're doing good work

I just realised though, my avatar is going to be a fucker to get seen on there, lol.

I agree with that. Just to be clear, I don't mean that not making a new Banjo is shitting the bed. The whole stink they are raising around it is, if it turns out to be all for nothing.

Now this is how I dew. Even got my arctic fox a comfy spot! Thanks! 🚅

 

[0ptimusPayne]

Jesus this shit got here so fast! Im glad Ive been crazy busy lately, can't wait till Sunday. All I want to hear/see are games, games, and more games please.

 

[Bits N Pieces]

It's already there lol. Headlight.

Hah, I didn't even clock it. Nicely done

 

[Primethius]

Amazon Italy still hasn't taken down the listing for the Square Enix XB1/PC game. I wonder what it could be, it has got me really curious.

Marvel project?

 

[Steelyuhas]

I wouldn't expect any 4K/60fps games outside of proven Forza 7, and maybe some indies like Cuphead.

Battlefront 2 is apparently going to be 4k/60, so I wouldn't say just racers and indie titles will be 4k/60, but agreed that the large open world games with tons of AI and scripting in the worlds such as AC will continue to target 30fps just like they almost all do on the base Xbox One and PS4.

 

[djnewwest]

Wooo! Add me to the hype train please!

Tom Warren (working for The Verge) generally has good sources from MS.

Not when they have two consoles on the market.

He said in a previous tweet that we are in a for a show a few days back I think. Everyone definition will be different though, so who know.

 

[Bsigg12]

I'm getting excited. Flying out to LA in 2 days!

 

[Defect]

Damn! Have fun guys! Report back and take tons of pics. Bastards!

Yours worked out ok. I'm pretending it's a poster in the conductors cabin. I need to adjust it a bit though.

We'll need to meet up at the event center before the bus us over to the Galen Center.

 

[Razzmatazzer]

Can you imagine guys...

End of show, screen goes black, lights fade. We see a circle appear on screen, filled with a beautiful grassy landscape... Up pops banjo's head, filling the circle. Circle expands as camera pulls back and we see Banjo in some massive mechanical contraption...

Nuts and Bolts 2 logo appears.

GET HYPED!

Awesome train! Can I get a Seat on the next Train.

Would be funny to see the Haze man on an Xbox Hype Train.

 

[Captain Zyrain]

We'll need to meet up at the event center before the bus us over to the Galen Center.

I'm curious how they'll have us milling around for 2 hours there without seeing anything, since we have to go back to the same spot after the briefing. I guess they have 4 hours to set it up in between but that seems like a lot of work..

 

[NowhereFaded]

Id greatly appreciate a front row seat for the Megaton of E3 2017. This train or next, dont make no difference.
thx player!!

I honestly wouldn't mind. The first game was a bit unrefined, and a sequel that irons out the kinks would be very welcome.

 

[7DollarHagane]

If the name for this console isn't the Xbox one zero with 1 0 branding to tie it to windows 10, imply a X10 jump over the Xbox one, and generally sound awesome, they fucked up.

Also ninja gaiden reboot with a new look and the kind of quality we got from nioh team ninja.

 

[Majine]

I hope they keep the obligatory Minecraft segment to a minimum.

We get it, the game is big and you want to advertise Minecon...
