I'm the opposite, lol. I love console reveals, getting more hyped with every passing day!

Same here. I was crazily hyped for the PS4 reveal. And now I'm crazily hyped for the Durango reveal. And the fact that just a couple of weeks later we'll also have E3 with even more info on both consoles, and with Nintendo Wii U game reveals to boot, makes this my most anticipated gaming year since 2005/6.

As a gamer, these are fun times indeed. I'll just ignore all those debbie-downers!

I mean, come on guys, this kind of thing doesn't happen very often at all. 8 years since the last Xbox reveal. 8 years.

 

[Karak]

Nirolak just posted publisher rankings for the past 2 years. Microsoft finished above Sony in 2012. Not bad for a company that supposedly never releases games, eh? In other words, there's going to be games to go along with our "entertainment".

I can't find it. I must be blind.

 

[Winterfang]

The feeling of only having a few days left is amazing. How did I arrive from a 1 month wait to just a mere 6 days. Time is so odd.

Finals had kept me busy. Let's go!

 

[specialguy]

Durango version? I called as much but was told it was PC footage. We'll find out soon enough if it was Durango footage.

it was all over the place, called everything from ps4 to next gen to probably, wii u version at some point as far as i know lol.

all running on a pc with an x360 controller, good luck sussing out what it really was, every video i saw seemed to have a different explanation.

one site i think cvg even spoke of covered ps4 dev kits being scurried away under guard after their presentation, but as far as i know no other sites. was it bs? no clue.

Doubt it. Nothing of Durango has been shown. Teh lock down.

 

[FordGTGuy]

We need a Leo Laporte, Paul Thurrott, Major Nelson and Kudo one too!

Huh. I guess we won't know until they show it off again at E3/this event. I wouldn't be overly surprised if it has undergone a downgrade for whatever reason, but it would be pretty disappointing.

Doubt it. Nothing of Durango has been shown. Teh lock down.

This is also true.

 

[FordGTGuy]

Can you make one for my avatar or supply the link to hte image 'only on xbox'

Sorry for the slow response.

 

[TRios Zen]

Can you embed tweets here? I stink at this.

XboxRevealTent gave Gaf a shout-out; think Raven77 deserves the credit for the tent's new avatar.

And then there were....

 

[Karak]

A good deal of us have been hard on MS in the past concerning leaks(though 1 year was the ad agencies leak and not MS) but I admit they have done an impressive job. A couple months ago they were more "leaky" but in the past 3 its become like fort knox.

The narrator answered that question on either the official youtube or on his twitter but he was asked what it was. "PC approximating PS4" was the response.
I will try to find the link but he seemed pretty clear after being asked.

Ubisoft is right, I'm starving for this

I'm waiting for them to pull another Halo 4 and upload all the games at the event to xbox.com early. Or maybe that is just what I'm hoping happens haha.

Microsoft beat Sony, despite Sony having a ton more releases across two platforms.

They could but for me it would not negate the huge change that has occurred these last 3 months. It has been an insane change...or tightening of the belts.

THANKS MONTY

 

[ekim]

Yeah. The tent has a new profile pic on twitter.

I'm reading that there will be a post-reveal event, with major nelson givin us more details about some games.

Is that true?

Yeah. It's on twitch. Larry posted it yesterday.

I'm hoping GAF will be down before any leaks happen, I'd be too tempted to read them lol.

I read something about that last night but didn't think it was anything more than a question if that would happen. But now it seems like a couple people are reporting that.

Oh confirmed by the man himself.

Expect the unexpected :]

 

[Baconsammy]

Thanks to no leaks, we got so bored that we turned a tent into a celebrity.

 

[LightofRohan]

This is great, my one day off from school is Tuesday (literally). Then I get an email, "Your WIP review is next Tuesday May 21st at Noon! See you there!". Are you serious? The gods frown on me this day... I'm thinking I can get there around 1pm PST though, does anyone think I'll be fine with time? :\

 

[Ninja Moomin]

Did we get something for that? A cookie maybe?

No they are heartless bastards and didn't give us anything.

PLUS, today I announced that we’ll be teaming up with Twitch and I’ll be hosting an exclusive post-show at 3p ET/12m PT. You’ll only be able to watch the special show via the new Twitch app on Xbox 360 and also online globally on www.twitch.tv. During the show I’ll be joined by some guests who will go into more detail about our #XboxReveal announcements.

Here is a preview of the special structure we are building on the Xbox campus where we’ll be holding the #XboxReveal event

From major nelson blog.

http://majornelson.com/2013/05/14/one-week-until-xboxreveal/

Yes!

 

[BlockheadBrown]

Please just include a price (I believe the $499/$299 w/$15 2yr. sub rumors) and backwards compatibility (which I'm guessing it'll have).

 

[Baconsammy]

http://majornelson.com/2013/05/14/one-week-until-xboxreveal/

Oh cool. I hope it doesn't come up against the post-show show that Geoff is doing. Great to see that new app getting use so quickly. Also good sign for next gen that Twitch is being mentioned in association with it.

 

[Karak]

From major nelson blog.



Yes!

I love the twitch app for the 360 and how it sort of feels these things will roll into the Durango. Also excellent to have this. It HOPEFULLY shows they have enough to talk about.

Also GUESTS.

 

[ari]

Could definitely see this event shutting shit down. pswho?

News media gonna implode on this...the event gives them just enough time to get a piece ready for the evening news. 720 hype all over the place.

Xbox Reveal Dos and Don'ts-The Final Bosman

http://www.gametrailers.com/videos/oa2o9o/the-final-bosman-xbox-reveal-dos-and-don-ts

 

[gaming_noob]

Hoping for some massive leaks on Monday, which is a holiday in Canada. Is it also a holiday in the U.S?

 

[sunnz]

6 days, 6 DAYS!!

With it being so close to E3, not sure how hyped I should be.

 

[XtremeXpider]

http://www.gametrailers.com/videos/oa2o9o/the-final-bosman-xbox-reveal-dos-and-don-ts

Summary?

 

[saladine1]

Well, PGR5 is pretty much confirmed for Xbox 720. We'll almost certainly see a PGR trailer at the event.
6 days to go.

 

[FordGTGuy]

Get to it bros.

 

[BlockheadBrown]

Hoping for some massive leaks on Monday, which is a holiday in Canada. Is it also a holiday in the U.S?

Nope.

 

[Baconsammy]

Summary?

Remember where you came from (games) and don't ignore where the industry needs to go (full entertainment options). Exactly what it looks like MS has been planning all along.

By that point its so close to the meeting itself I hope not. But who cares everything will be downgraded anyway.

Ok, games 100% + entertainment, I like it, I hope it.
