Why did they think it's a good idea to broadcast this in the middle of the work day?

Cause they know they already have North America wrapped up. Better to concentrate on other areas.

 

[Galacticos]

This thread is trying too hard, you will never top the PS Meeting thread, never.

 

[Ninja Moomin]

Hope the content is not as lacking as that setup.

stealth troll. Nice.

when has Ms not had amazing set design for a major Xbox announce?

their e3 stages are always the best.

 

[dancmc]

Definitely want some new IPs; but also wouldn't mind revisiting OG xbox or 360 past as well.

How about MS fund Psychonauts 2?

 

[shinobi602]

It's a worldwide event. It will be the middle of the work day somewhere no matter what time they make it.

Being it's a US company and the event is hosted in the US, I would think catering to that population first makes the most sense...

 

[Neko Mimi Mode]

700k is also pathetic.

It's well over 1 million now, but regardless.

It's the best selling JRPG exclusive on the HD Twins this generation. That isn't saying much, but it sold "enough" to moneyhat a sequel and expand their list of genres and appeal, as I stated before.

You can expect them to come out all guns blazing just like they did in the early 360 days. In fact, hasn't Aaron Greenberg alluded to as much?

 

[oVerde]

Strange turn of events when the PS4 reveal is much bigger than the next Xbox reveal. I would've thought Microsoft would go all in.

It will be streamed better than ever, multi web channels with their own link each with GT coverage aftermath, will be glorious.

 

[jbug617]

Remember when they revealed the Surface it wasn't at a big venue either.

 

[L1NETT]

Can someone "only on xbox" my avatar please?

Same here. Cheers guys.

Apple does the same thing

 

[CrunchinJelly]

Being in the morning caters to the American media, though, who are the people who are going to be there.

 

[Bleedorang3]

LOL

What does the size of the building have to do, at all, with the games or system?

They could broadcast the same content from an office or a stadium.

You know they're getting desperate when they resort to trash-talking the venue

 

[aganu]

Early evening here

Same And I'll be done with exams the day before.

 

[derFeef]

They do, it's morning, it will be in the news everywhere the whole day. Bonus if they show the box. By evening in the US the box is already known by mainstream.

 

[Hoo-doo]

Apple does the same thing

Contrary to popular belief, Microsoft is not Apple.

 

[grap3fruitman]

2013 - ??????

Psy.

 

[EvB]

Being in the morning caters to the American media, though, who are the people who are going to be there.

It also means that the entire of Europe will be able to see the news as it happens also, as opposed to waking up to it.

 

[dem]

lol @ the tent is too small..

Microsoft does this shit every day. They know how to do a keynote.

 

[shinobi602]

You know they're getting desperate when they resort to trash-talking the venue

Who's "they"?

 

[MasterLeePhD]

With E3 just around the corner, I wonder of much they'll actually announce?

Show the console itself, some specs, Kinetic 2, and a few games?

 

[Ninja Moomin]

This thread is trying too hard, you will never top the PS Meeting thread, never.

the very fact you felt the need to come and post that says otherwise.

 

[Baconsammy]

Are people actually tying the size of a tent/building to the content of a reveal? Has trolling gotten that hard?

It's not worth doing, because it won't help them, their money and effort is much better spent on software that will help pull mainland Europe. Japan is futile.

 

[Officerrob]

I think it's the same size venue. If you look at the Surface unveil, it will probably give you a good idea of what the event will look like:

Not really trolling. I just think that the actual setup for what's going to be the announcement of their next gen console leaves a bit to be desired.

EDIT: Maybe when everything's set and the lights are on, it will look great and the actual tent won't even be important at all.

 

[Raide]

Yeah, at E3.

 

[Speedy Blue Dude]

These .gifs are amazing. Please post more guys, I need to save these for later XD

Isnt it the same venue, looks like a tent shape like the pic in the previous page.

 

[statham]

This is true.

 

[Zen_Arcade]

E3 is going to be a hundred times worse.

 

[quickwhips]

I'm an american who would like LO2. Who cares if it helps in japan or not. Thats like saying UC franchise should stop because it didn't help sell enough consoles. I would be sad if they don't make UC4 because people would be missing out on a great movie.

 

[PsihoPerihelion]

Who cares about the scenario. I'm watching for the content, not to see if their guesses are enjoying the view. Also, their E3 sets are best in class, so there's that.

Remember when Nintendo used the Kodak Theater? THE fucking Kodak Theater, to show Wii Music. Yeah, now you get it.

 

[Neko Mimi Mode]

It's not worth doing, because it won't help them, their money and effort is much better spent on software that will help pull mainland Europe. Japan is futile.

I'm not talking about Japan, I'm talking about the perception from having a diverse genre of games and IPs. I don't see them letting the Lost Odyssey IP die when they could benefit from it in the long run.

For example, say a small portion of gamers who enjoy this genre pick up Durango as a result, similar to the start of the 360. It's the revenue from years of Live etc thereafter that Microsoft rake in that's the draw. I think that dude on Gametrailers has it right, Microsoft will come out and attempt to rope everyone in from the start.

Can someone "only on xbox" my avatar please?

 

[Hoo-doo]

I think quite a lot of people were expecting something that blows the door off in terms of budget and scale. It's their next-gen reveal, it's something worth having a spectacle around.

And care to point out who's actually tying the size of the tent to the content that isn't obviously joking?

 

[Bleedorang3]

Dunno what you expected. It was announced that it was going to be a small venue for key members of the press. The thing is going on national TV and livestreamed over the internet with pre and post shows. If you're trying to say that the size of the venue has any correlation to the magnitude of the announcement then you're wasting your time, nobody is buying it.

 

[TRios Zen]

Perhaps you aren't doing it on purpose, but you are using your preference for what Sony presented as a measuring stick for what Microsoft will present.

Microsoft will do what MS will do, and if you already don't like it, before it's done, vis-à-vis the Sony conference, I think that says something about you, not the conference (yet at least).

 

[shandy706]

700k is also pathetic.

There are a lot of games with sequels that sold that or less.

Not saying it will happen, just pointing that out.

Well, we shall see. I think whichever dude you're referring to is wrong.

 

[Spongebob]

The small tent and the short length of this event seems to indicate that this event will be relatively light on content.

 

[Blue Ninja]

I would like to see:

Blade Runner + Open World + Bounty Hunter game.

So, Prey 2?

Don't remember me

Now make that third-person with awesome animations and I'm in!

 

[jbug617]

It was somewhere in Los Angeles.

 

[SpartanN92]

It's not the size of your tent, it's how you use it.

 

[Leflus]

The more I think about it, the more I want Bill Gates and Steve Ballmer to show up at the event.
