If the specs are along the line of the rumors, will they give details on specs?
I think it's bannable. Perhaps it depends on context or not, but just letting a Junior know that I'd be wary of it

Read that thread I linked. He has got stuff correct in the past like Dead Space 3 details and Remember Me.
Apart from being a guy who is often right...do we know anything else? Crazy Buttocks where art thou?
Makes sense.....wait, there isn't cable in Europe or other countries? Pardon my ignorance on the topic.
Thats...thats not what i'm saying :/
Damn, scratch that theory, i didn't know cable is meh globally.

FIFA's been stated for PS4 in an investor call. There are also licensing issues.
Madden, maybe. But I don't know what kind of licensing issues would be involved.
I'd bet on Respawn's game if any.

Lacking at the PS4 event? They showed 4 exclusives.
And if you think this event will be all about games, you're in for a huge disappointment my friend.

Games will be at e3.
I thought I was tripping so I went back and read the thread again. Where does Crazy Butt say anything about required online? I saw him mention that EA had some deal with MS but that's it.
Oh the other thread bit it. Well, new thread, new hype!
As far as games go, I'll say what I said in the other thread:
E3 will be the game event for sure. I do think they will try to show off a big Kinect game at the May event, though, maybe Ryse. I could see them spending a lot of time on a big reveal demo showing off how it's possible to make a Kinect-controller-hybrid core game. I also think we'll see one other game that doesn't show Kinect use at all to keep it balanced. I think every other game will be saved for E3. A very small taste of games. The rest will be hardware, services, and their vision.
That's my expectation. We won't know everything we want until E3.

Exactly. Plus VGleaks pretty much put that rumor to rest. Always online to play games doesn't make a lick of sense and I doubt that'll happen.

what did paul t say about the online only topic? did he mention it?
The Geoff Keighley GT post isn't in the OP, so if you missed the last thread -- he said it would be 60 mins.

One of the latest sort of credible sounding pastebin rumors said always online is only for Durango games.
So anything else, apps, 360 games (think this rumor also claimed BC) would be allowable to be offline.
I dunno, kinda sounded reasonable *shrugs*
In a sense you do have to be online to watch TV...it comes through a cord to your TV, lol.
If you have cable internet like most americans, there's a decent chance if your internet is down so is your cable TV.

I dunno... The Microsoft guys just really don't seem as likeable.

You can fill an hour really quickly.
They'll show the box, the controller, maybe the new UI, bullet point some new features and that's pretty much an hour.
I think they will save the Xbox 360 Mini for E3 along with big game announcements. They've already got a half dozen or so games before the thing has even been announced.

My theory, a one hour event with the promise of "blockbuster titles" at e3 sort of tells me that contrary to popular belief, they might focus on hardware, it's look and feel and what makes it tick (OS etc...). Announce a hardware megaton and leave the viewer salivating at how those "blockbuster titles" might look like on the new hardware.
Xbox boys just need something original. Kazifying things felt fresh...for about a page. Doing the same for MS feels very old hat. Another reason Sony revealed first, it was all about the gifs.
Meme agents have at it...
I vote to photoshop a sad looking J Allard into the background of every E3 photo this year.
I'm expecting games but they could easily fill up an hour with Kinect and partnerships with companies like ESPN if they really wanted to.

Just for reference, I actually found out about the conference from Google. Amazing how this news spread so quickly. Microsoft is going to spend that marketing money wisely- this thing is going to be huge, whether you like it or not. They certainly have more money to throw around than their competitors and they'll use it.
I can't help but get stoked when I see Microsoft big wigs like Phil Spencer tweet things like this:
I expect to see a LOT of games from May 21st through E3. Xbox was built on gamers. People shit on Mattrick all the time but the dude has been making games since he was 17. Xbox is a gamers company and I'm excited to see what they have in store.

There will be games, but it will be a taste. Sony talked for about 40 mins before they got into games and demos (they were on Gaikai still at that point, and they didn't seem that long-winded to me, time flies), and I expect something similar here. I think we'll hear about their 360 success, their vision for the future, how XBL will evolve, talk about all the third-party partners, show the controller, show the consoles, show new services, then they'll probably get into Kinect.
I expect that to be the juming off point for games. They'll show how Kinect 2 works with a game, that's why I expect Ryse to be shown at this event. I then expect them to demo another new exclusive IP, maybe Black Tusk's game. So my expectation is a couple exclusive IPs demoed, not just trailers, then E3 will have the rest of their surprises, plus third-party titles. It sounds like a fair way for them to handle it.

To the majority, it likely will be, but to those who more or less already have an intensely pessimistic view of anything Microsoft does, even before they fully understand what their plans are, they will, predictably, come away more than a little unimpressed and disappointed with whatever it is Microsoft showcases.

well considering they had press and investors in the direct audience I'd say it was warranted. and as a gamer I quite liked it. Its nice to hear those things lol. no doubt MS will do the same at their reveal.
I honestly couldn't give a damn about these people so long as they do their jobs and ensure i get the games i want to play. They are interchangeable to me, just suits spitting PR crap i couldn't care less about. (Only exception being Kutaragi, because he was shithouse crazy and always said hilariously over the top shit when hyping the Playstation brand.)

Those expecting a ton of games are in for a disappointment. This reveal will largely focus on unveiling what the console and controller look like, the new dashboard, Kinect 2.0, and services. At the end, I expect a sizzle reel containing all announced next gen third party games (Assassins Creed 4, Watch Dogs, Deep Down, etc) and they will finish with one new exclusive. Everything else will be saved for E3.
The way I understand it is that there will be a larger emphasis on games at E3.
Also, Microsoft is primarily a software company striving to be an all-around entertainment company. I'm hoping that they're building the next Xbox around gamers, but I have my doubts. We'll just have to wait until May 21.

I firmly believe we won't have a full grasp on what is going on with each of these companies until after E3. I think there is moneyhatting and partnerships going on on both sides that won't be revealed until E3
