The Project Gotham Racing series is one of my favorites of all time.

Man, how sweet would it be to see a new next gen PGR??? I mean really, how sweet would that be? Tell me.

A next gen PGR would rate 10 according to my sweetometer.

MS might as well go ahead and release PGR5 and Forza 5 at the same time. Just get it over with MS.

The people demand satisfaction...
 
Oh I agree but surely anyone who wants to watch video on their 360 will have bought the remote. I can't imagine having to fumble around with the controller when watching videos, especially given they turn off when not used after 10 minutes or so.

Kinect + Smarglass, I don't need any remote controller.
 
I can only comment on using smartglass with HBO go. It's less than ideal. It takes a while to sync, loses connection any time the iPad goes to sleep, etc. It does work although I don't think using my phone or tablet to pause a movie is any easier than just using voice or the controller.
 
I could see MS picking up Respawn's game since the EA partners thing is dead. If not EA, who else besides MS, Sony, or Activision is big enough to publish their game? And we know Activision isn't doing it.

it is pretty much confirmed the game is exclusive to MS consoles...they have already picked it up. The rumors were very specific
 
Not to get all mushy, but this has been a hell of a fun ride with a lot of you so far, so here's to 11 more days of speculation, hopefully followed up by one kick-ass event!
 
It could be worse.

They could be scrambling to design a box to fit all their hardware in.

Apparently Major Nelson is desperately trying to bodge together a Nextbox console out of old PC towers and double-sided sticky tape so he doesn't look like a fool for pointing out the lack of a PS4 at Sony's event.
 
They should make a deal with Netflix and Hulu to where you get a unlimited Netflix and Hulu account along with your Gold account.

If they were smart, they would have a consolidated XBox Live and XBox Music membership available, along with maybe 1 or 2 free movies of your choice per month on XBox Video and maybe a couple free digital game rentals. They really need to push Gold value if they want to increase\maintain memberships.

Well I mean MS publishing it. I think, if I remember reading the rumors correctly that EA was still publishing it, but it was just coming to the Durango and 360.
 
But Microsoft is dead in the water! They waited too long!

I mean they are scrambling! Yes! Scrambling!

Heh, this will never get old. Love it. How did this get started anyway? Is there a genesis post/article?

not enough fast...

Indeed.

Right there with you. This is quite possibly the last traditional console reveal ever. Just let that possibility sink in. It's a little heartbreaking.

In any case, the Wii U reveal, the PS4 reveal and this has all been one hell of a ride and I hope there's a lot more to come over the next few weeks and months.
 
I don't want too many leaks. The PS4 event was perfect because we got to see a rough image of what the controller was and that was it. Putting a console/controller to the thing makes me a whole lot more excited. It just makes it more real.

I agree, and I don't know if I'm too optimistic about gaming but I always feel that when a new console is about to be unveiled. There's always a chance we get to see something really amazing and different, especially when Kinect 2.0 or other projects like Illumniroom/Fortazela are involved.

I know I would love zero leaks for the full powered effect... But I also crave info.

Well to be fair, thats all there was to leak, a controller :P. I think we will see some leaks of the controller and maybe the console the closer we get to the 21st.

I had noticed the last few weeks on Live MS were offering a free rental from the Xbox video store the films they were giving away were shit though.

If MS does have BC I could see them offering a lot of XBLA games for free would certainly get my attention as I missed quite a few of them.
 
I agree with Bacon, Ford. I think the fact that we saw the thing in action officially (it wasn't a leak, right? Wasn't it released through official channels?) means that it won't be coming for a while. It could be like Microsoft's Kinect of this generation, breathing new life into the console half-way through a super-long cycle.
 
I was just thinking about Vahalla rising the other day. I'm thinking those guys will be a 2nd party studio next gen.

Another studio is Chair entertainment. Could they make a Shadow Complex 2 or a spiritual sequel?

Edit. Devils Third would be awesome as an exclusive for MS.

i made a thread about this a while ago and i think something like this has happened, the game has been in silence mode for a while so it was probs sent to next gen, Itagaki likes ms alot and im sure they would love a new ip from Itagaki after ninja gaiden

A "ninja-something" IP for Xbox would be great! I like Ninja Blade, but a I want a new Ninja IP with Itagaki.
 
I am really excited for the reveal, especially after the rumor that it wont be always online. Call of Duty and Forza being the main games i really want to see. I just want the same games but...prettier.

However Alan Wake 2, if such a game is being made as heavily rumored, i really hope they make the game weirder, more disturbing, unsettling, sorta like Team Silent's Silent Hill games 1-4.

I enjoyed the original AW, but it felt too sterile and plain, nothing was really disturbing or out of place, by-the-numbers horror conventions. Really hope they show that game and just add some insane enemies and enviourments, even the show they are inspired by, Twin Peaks, had that weird vibe to it. It was creepy at all times, just the way it was shot and all

Also hoping Fallout 4 is shown, that game has to be in development surely? They must have a short trailer at least? They need some sort of RPG in there to balance CoD, EA's sports games and Kinect stuff + a racing game, PGR or Forza
 
I really hope they show Forza, but I think they'll follow the same template that Sony did and just show their smaller IPs (Alan Wake, maybe Crackdown) and introduce some new ones.
 
That sucks? Don't you think it might at least be behind closed doors at E3?

It's still not clear if they intend to turn it into a real product. And there are many reasons that would make that questionable.
If we're talking new types of displays, I'm more wondering if those rumored AR glasses are a real thing, and if they're going to talk about them.

Fortaleza? That's another thing like Illumniroom I could see them roll out halfway through the generation to refresh things.

Fortaleza, if real, is a couple years out according to the leak

It has potential to be huge though, especially if battery life is good, they aren't bulky or hideous like google glass and can be used for VR/AR applications

That's it. According to the leaked roadmap, they intended to release them one year after the release of the console, which would be quite fast. I don't expect to see them on the market any time soon, but it would be cool to have a reveal this year, to make us dream (actually I'm not even sure I would buy those, but it would definitely be a cool device).

They could reveal early much like Xbox live and natal

In no way is it confirmed - that was just a rumor. I would still be very surprised if it was Xbox-exclusive.
It's pretty much confirmed. Don't remember the name of the poster, but he's got a 100% track record and he hinted it before the rumour was picked up by websites and after that he basically confirmed it. If you still don't believe it then ..
