Interesting.... Xbox 360 reveal was only 30 mins long back 2005 on MTV. This one is about an hour long on Spike. #XboxReveal

was it really only 30 minutes?

 

[Bgamer90]

was it really only 30 minutes?

Yep.

[RedNumberFive]

was it really only 30 minutes?

Yup, and 25 of those minutes were comprised of The Killers and that kid from Lord of the Rings.

 

[RoboPlato]

was it really only 30 minutes?

Yes and most of that was spent interviewing D-List celebrities. It was an awful unveil so I'm hoping Durango's is substantially better.

What was revealed in that 360 MTV monstrosity.

All I remember is girl taking a 360 out of her messenger bag. Elijah Wood and some shitty musical guests.

Did they have games at it? Perfect Dark Zero?

 

[Angelus Errare]

Shit fakes need to learn to kern.

This, that and the typeface for Xbox is part of it's branding complete with the signature B, not a horrible kerned standard Segoe.

 

[specialguy]

well, it's good to have it confirmed i guess. not much else to say.

 

[statham]

Yep.

I'm going to watch this now.

 

[Kaako]

No, and that to me would basically be a confirmation that its not as powerful as the competitions.

Pretty much. I still hope they officially announce the specs though.

I'm going to watch this now.

You're in for a treat! lol
They'll handle the 720 launch much better imo. It's hard to do it worst than that 360 reveal abomination video.

 

[Doffen]

60 minutes could be perfect. The PS meeting had so much jibberish in the beginning that they could have removed.

 

[oVerde]

All I want are their old franchises from original Xbox and early 360 and be innovatives as well.

 

[A good poster]

I'm excited for my PC/720/WiiU future.

 

[specialguy]

ugh nvmind.

that time isn't good for me. oh well.

Some offscreen footage of PDZ was all that they showed in terms of games.

[~Kinggi~]

No always on DRM
+
BC with 360 games, even if its an addon

=success.

Yes my expectations are that low for MS

 

[Schweinehund]

This seems pretty close to e3. I like new hardware, I just hope there's some good *new* ip's to go along with it.

 

[Komo]

Yep.

Holy crap, I remember when gaming companies used to try and be over the top and fun. Now they're all clean, dull and too serious.

 

[op_ivy]

On that day, we’ll share our vision for Xbox, and give you a real taste of the future.

oh snap

They won't use the MTV recipe, but we should expect less tech talk and more sales pitch.

Only 5 pages so far? IIRC The Sony one exploded from the start. GAF not that hyped?

There was another thread that got closed, look at the first page of this one, there's a link there

 

[Bgamer90]

The Xbox 360 will be always connected!!! It will require an internet connection to play games! Oh NOES!!!

 

[Doffen]

The MTV Xbox 360 reveal thread on GAF only reached 10 pages.

The first thread of this announcement had to be closed because shit posts were clogging up any valid discussion.

I lol'd when that was the first thing to pop up when that intro video started.

 

[RyanReedyMusic]

Im getting a feeling that they are going to only have a very small reveal.

A lot of GAF had their minds made up about the next Xbox ages ago and aren't willing to change. It could give freevblowjobs and a nice portion of posters would still swear the console is the devil's work incarnate.

...The PS Meeting thread had pages of Kaz gifs.

I did the same. So funny with all of these current rumors about the system's successor.

 

[MormaPope]

What's making you feel this way? Microsoft is going to have their conference aired on BroTV, also known as UFC and Gangland TV, also known as Spike TV.

 

[Majine]

So like the Sony one?

 

[bigboss370]

Really looking forward to seeing what Epic has. Hopefully its a new IP, that would be best.

 

[Doffen]

1 hour long. If they use it right they have plenty of time to reveal 5 games, a console and have Justin Bieber perform a song.

Yes....Why wouldn't they?

You know that this isn't the same thing.

Humor can be valid, weird and cryptic posts without context clogs the gears of discourse.

It's not that at all. It's that we've known this date for weeks now through leaks so it's not a completely out of the blue surprise like the PS4 conference was. The February PS Meeting was way earlier than anyone expected and would be the very first glimpse of next gen stuff.

May 17th: New Daft Punk
21st: New Xbox

Man, this May rocks.

is the 1 hour thing confirmed?

If so I'm expecting only first party, exclusive stuff then. Maybe something from EA(but that would make EA hypocrites).

 

[Bgamer90]

You know that this isn't the same thing.

No I don't.

Do you?

 

[nekomix]

...Wait, no hype train here? You disappoint me at the moment, MS-GAF :-(

EDIT : Oh, just needed to see previous page for a little beginning...

 

[RobotMafia]

Sweet, I will be watching the GiantBomb stream for sure. Fuck work.

 

[Spongebob]

No I don't.

Do you?

Yes, I do.

It was confirmed by someone from GT. Since it's being televised it probably needs to be a pretty tight hour.

There was undoubtedly an element of surprise, but there's still a good amount of gaffers that just straight up don't like MS and don't hide it very well, if at all.

 

[GAMERG0D]

Banjo better show.

 

[Quazar]

...Wait, no hype train here? You disappoint me at the moment, MS-GAF :-(

Been a couple threads today.

 

[MormaPope]

The Sony conference was bloated as all hell, shit needed to have 30 minutes or an hour cut from it. I loved the powerful hardware, hated the passionate, love story-like 10 minute monologues.
