Yes 10 PM but that's in 10h and 30min.

Oh, huh. Wrong on at least 2 counts, then

PAGETOPPER!

I woke up three times for no apparent reason last night. 3 bombshells at today's conference. Book it.

 

[Neander]

11.5 hours to go. Oh lawd.

You know, I was a bit bummed because I was scheduled to work this afternoon and thus would have missed the live conference. But I asked a co-worker to do a Switch and I'm here at work now (dead at the moment) and will be home in plenty of time to watch the show. Woot!

 

[Banderdash]

As far as we know it's exclusive.

That's what I thought... which is why the bingo card confused me.

 

[wesleyshark]

I'm still thinking it'll be at least $449

 

[wandering]

I would say it has to be a British developer - part of the charm of that series was the quintessential britishness of it all.

Rare Fable.

 

[Jaimonster]

As far as we know it's exclusive.

THANKS FOR THE HEADS UP!
Fixing it now.

 

[cyberheater]

22:00.

10pm

It's a little less than 12 hours from now, so I think like 10 PM? If I'm remembering my time zones correctly?

Thanks.

I never used vehicles in Crackdown jumping was too much fun.

I am hoping Crackdown BC announced tonight as well.

Jumping was my primary mode of transportation, but I occasionally used the agency vehicles to toss cars around and make big explosions, or to do some wall riding.

With the new destruction mechanic, I'm hoping they push vehicle play to the next level, I'd like to blow a hole through a building, and then ride through it.

10 hours to go.....

 

[Ethelwulf]

We're all gonna get stung. Hyped.

 

[Volgarth]

10 hours to go. Time for me to leave the net until after the show. See you on the other side GAF.

Yup I'm out too. See you all later.

How many years has it been since Phil Spencer took over?

It usually takes roughly 2-3 years to go from the concepting stages of a game to the first public reveal, if Phil hasn't been outright lying with all his comments about investing in first party studios/IPs since he took charge then we should actually see some good reveals from Microsoft tonight.

Not getting my hopes up though. Will probably just be hyping multiplatform games on Scorpio.

 

[Impeccable]

Bleh can't watch live today.

 

[Asd202]

It's coming to XB.

I guess PC too then? If so it's coming to everything but the Switch lol

This is the show Spencer can say is his full vision for the future. It's make or break imo

Edited.

 

[BluenoseGames]

Do ya'll think we'll get AC: Origins gameplay reveal here?

 

[Hoo-doo]

Ok, I've asked many times to be added to the train but apparently Vlaud didn't notice me senpai, so I've invited myself along with Gaffers NowhereFaded and SlipperyMoose, hope he doesn't mind

I thought the mods disallowed these hype train things a while ago?

 

[DenogginizerOS]

A new Ninja Gaiden with all previous NG games being back-compat or released as a remaster would make my year.

Also, would love to see Virtua Tennis or Topspin make a return.

Looking forward to seeing BF1's expansion being demoed on stage running on Scorpio....

They haven't said anything so far, so let's hope they found their E3 holiday spirit.

There were a few pages filled with that nonsense, luckily it stopped. Might be back because of that post though. :/

 

[Psyrgery ES]

I'll edit my post. Didn't know these funny things were so disliked here.

 

[iNvid02]

I think ubi would like to showcase gameplay themselves, but a trailer getting lots of eyeballs at this thing could be possible

 

[Neander]

The trains have been filling up (that's the second one btw) for days. I don't think they ever banned it?

 

[Hoo-doo]

It's more the fact that it just kills discussion when every other post is a repost of the same image and posters going 'add me plz'.

 

[pitchfork]

whelp! my sister just went into labour a couple of weeks early so now I have to dash my parents to the hospital

I may be watching the conference from a maternity ward! (If they let me)

 

[Hoo-doo]

Are people not expecting the new Tomb Raider to show up on the MS stage?

Seems like a no brainer, to be honest.

They already said it wouldn't be atE3, but at a later date (probably gamescom)

I thought Tomb Raider was skipping E3?

 

[Hoo-doo]

My bad. I thought it would be one of the defacto AAA games on the Microsoft presser.

Good though, I never liked the new direction of TR.

 

[Clive]

This isn't MH5. It's likely a spin off or a different sub series made to appeal to the west so it makes sense that it's coming to Xbox.

I didn't argue against that. It would however make no sense if it didn't also come to a platform that is viable in Japan. The series has a massive Japanese fanbase and regardless of how westernized this game is, it will have massive sales potential in Japan too. Saying no to both the PS4 and Switch fanbases plus pretty much all of Japan would be crazy.

I still hope MS starts streaming in 4K early so I can see if the Mixer stream is gonna work for me or not.

 

[-Stranger-]

Will this be streamed live on youtube as well?

I'm hoping so i can watch it in bed as it will be on at 7am here.
(Xbox is in the other room)

Been streamed via youtube a number of years now, don't see why it would change now.

When the official thread goes up it'll have links galore.

Possible but I think SE would maybe want to cool their jets on the Xbox side with what happened last time and show it with PlayStation.

Putting this out there, I could imagine Microsoft buying the IP off Square Enix if they aren't going to build new IP and new an action/adventure series.

Yes it will.
7am for me as well, already asked for the day off. Please don't disappoint me MS

9 Hours and 15 Minutes to go.

 

[von zipp]

My hype levels are rising every minute. I keep checking into this thread with one eye closed, hoping not to see any leaked info, but also half hoping I will find out some new info! Still amazed at how tight MS's grip has been on any info getting out early.

 

[Okami Haundo]

It's the final day!!! I think this might be my most anticipated conference this year. Wanna see Scorpio and let that $399 base price wash over me

 

[Shiggy]

What do I need to do to get the free games for watching the conference? Just create a Mixer account, link it to my Microsoft account, and then can watch it on PC through the Mixer website? Or do I need to watch it on the Xbox?

You can watch through a browser, just make sure you're signed in and your account is linked in Mixer.

I want original Xbox nostalgia in the conference. Love the beast boot.

It'll leak (surely later today)

 

[gaming_noob]

I'm scrounging twitter for hints and teasers and so far nothing interesting. Latest bit is from Tom Warren saying MS have a lot of games to show when someone tweeted him about no leaks due to very little games to show.


Edit: Another Banjo hint?

Kickz look it's happening!

Tell me i'm not the only one who is goddamn tired of manicured nothing statements like these.

Dude might as well not tweet at all.

People asked him a question and he answered.
