Not nearly as excited as I was for the PS Meeting.

None the less, I'm cautisoly optimistic for what MS has to show.

Seems as though this thread is moving slower than the Sony one.

 

[Takuya]

You guys there will be a "consumer" website for this event? Xboxevent.com is only for press so far.

The event is only press. It isn't a huge event.

 

[Atsumi]

Oh, boy. I hope they bring back interchangeable faceplates!

 

[Rösti]

You guys there will be a "consumer" website for this event? Xboxevent.com is only for press so far.

I expect as much. Perhaps not a dedicated webpage but a subdomain to xbox.com.

 

[GoddyofAus]

Show me what you've got, MS.

 

[farisr]

I hadn't seen that gif before and completely expected it, and now I feel like revisiting my youth and watching Pokemon again.

 

[Zombie James]

Not sure the timing is ideal being so close to E3, but glad it's finally happening.

 

[Sorc3r3r]

Finally?
Finally.

It will be fun in a way or in the other.

 

[JAYSIMPLE]

genius timing. people will be so amped for e3

 

[Goldmund]

The event is only press. It isn't a huge event.

Then why is Geoff Keighley invited?

 

[Einbroch]

The event is only press. It isn't a huge event.

But he's asking if there's going to be a consumer site. Like a blank site with a countdown, where afterwards the specs/information will be held.

 

[grosvenor_92]

All Aboard !!!!!

 

[Coolwhip]

My body is always online.

Not really excited for this one tbh. A few slick MS men announcing the next Halo and CoD, meh.

 

[Mr.Green]

So, how big of a deal will RAM specs be? What if they dont match Sony's?

I mean, wont most games cater to lowest denominator? Or is the difference really that big/constrained to do that?

To fanboys, it will be everything. To sane people, not so much.

 

[Kagari]

Then why is Geoff Keighley invited?

He's press.

 

[EvilKatarn]

"A new generation revealed"

Mattrick: "Truly the future is upon us. This year, revel in the future of gaming. Halo 5 and Call of Duty Ghost will both, for the first time ever, feature downloadable campaign add-ons. This means that not only can you expand your multiplayer experience first and foremost on the Xbox, but also the epic stories of Master Chief and Soldier Man. Thank you, and good night!"

 

[Takuya]

But he's asking if there's going to be a consumer site. Like a blank site with a countdown, where afterwards the specs/information will be held.

They'll just throw the info on xbox.com after the reveal.

 

[paischtu]

Already worse then the PS Meeting announcement The trailer for it came out of nowhere and catapulted my hype meter to the maximum level instantly. With this, I'm not feeling much to be honest. Maybe it is better this way, less room for disappointment.

what a fanboy.

 

[Napalm_Frank]

Spoiler

I expect this to be a trainwreck especially for us europeans but as someone said already, I challenge MS to make me want to buy their new console this year

 

[Illithid Dude]

Why would Microsoft make this 10am on a Tuesday.

Whyyyyyyyyyyy

 

[AHA-Lambda]

If I hurry I can catch this after I finish work at 6pm =/

 

[glaurung]

Then why is Geoff Keighley invited?

Free mountain dew.

 

[Master_JO]

My PS4 is ready.

Good, and are you gonna to hook it up with the next Xbox? Or you gonna collect dust over it while jumping in Xbox threads when it released?. Sick of all the negativity around here. If someone doesn't like something nor is interested in it, why waste the time on it? Troll? Feel the need to be heard? Or got nothing else to do?

 

[ultron87]

Hooray! Excited. That day will not be a productive afternoon at work.

 

[Bsigg12]

I was thinking about this yesterday. If people were thinking if the reveal was supposed to be today but got moved to the 21st of May, what if today was always intended to be the reveal of the reveal.

Either way its official, let's fucking do this!

 

[cbox]

Comeeeeeee onnnnnnnnn PGR5!!!

 

[Xamdou]

So May 21, hardware reveal buzz leading up to E3 and then to games!

 

[Reiko]

Shots fired?

Yep MS talking trash.

 

[bidguy]

Finally. MS
So fucking hyped man i cant believe it

 

[PshycoNinja]

Yup. I am happy they're finally saying something so everyone can stop beating around the bush but not as exciting as the announcement of the PS Meeting 2013 and the PS4.

Also...

On Tuesday May 21st, we’ll mark the beginning of a new generation of games, TV and entertainment.

I thought Sony already did this on February 20th ;P. Next gen starts when Sony says so. Lol!!! I used to love fanboy banter like that.

 

[djplaeskool]

Whoa. Didn't notice the time.
In the middle of a work day...and a Daft Punk album release.

 

[ElNino]

Free mountain dew.

And Doritos.

 

[Miles Quaritch]

Why would Microsoft make this 10am on a Tuesday.

Whyyyyyyyyyyy

Because it's nothing more than a teaser for the main event 19 days later.

 

[FluxWaveZ]

what a fanboy.

To be fair, an abstract trailer out of nowhere for the PlayStation Meeting is surely more exciting than a bland email announcing an event that has been heavily rumored for a while.

 

[Spongebob]

It takes place at 11:00 am where I'm at, so looks as though I'm going to miss it.

 

[Loris146]

Jump Out.

Really. That's what you're hoping for? Or am I missing some sort of sarcasm font?

 

[LorDjidane]

Then why is Geoff Keighley invited?

To give away snacks.

 

[Goldmund]

He's press.

What a twisted world.

 

[Takamura-San]

I agree, completely, but I still like Weekend Confirmed and respect Garnett deeply from his 1up days.

I always felt that Garnett was the weakest link of the fab 4.

I pretty much confirmed (heh) my feeling on WC. Can't take the guy.

 

[Doffen]

Why would Microsoft make this 10am on a Tuesday.

Whyyyyyyyyyyy

Because they like Europeans now.

Thank you Microsoft!

I forgot about that teaser trailer. That was maximum awesome.

WAY TO GO MS

 

[Dysun]

Three months late, lets see how deep that hole they dug really was

 

[Raide]

Why would Microsoft make this 10am on a Tuesday.

Whyyyyyyyyyyy

To catch all the kids.

 

[ShroudOfFate]

My body is ready!

 

[Einbroch]

I know big companies don't acknowledge rumors, but it would be refreshing for MS to just go "You know, you shouldn't believe everything you read..."

 

[The Elite]

10 AM. 1 EST?

I will be at work. Meh.

 

[Meelow]

Microsoft clearly thought of me when they planned the time, I have no school in the afternoon on the 21st

 

[Spongebob]

Because it's nothing more than a teaser for the main event 19 days later.

By revealing the full thing at e3 don't they risk getting overshadowed by what Sony and Nintendo have to show?

 

[Viola of the Abyss]

Well, let's see what they've got.

I'm curious to see whether always on is a thing or not.
