I am going to use Xbox Live to watch it then. It really sucks because on Gametrailers they advertise it as live on Spike at 10am PST/1pm EST, but both the cable listing and on Spikes own website it lists the show at 1pm PST.

I just hope the Xbox Live stream is good...I am concerned that there will be a shit-ton of people on Live watching this thing.

DirecTV in Phoenix, (PST) shows 10am and my recording is set

 

[XtremeXpider]

Yeah I was about to post talking about '09. '07 had nothing, '08 had FFXIII, '10-'12 was Kinect driven.

I don't want to wait every 3-4 years to get continuous, consistent core game exclusive and surprise announcements that are worth discussing.

Even the Project Natal was great (as a presentation).

 

[Baconsammy]

Does Directv still have Spike? If so I'll use that as a backup in case the Xbox app shits the bed.

 

[oVerde]

The Xbox event is live to BOTH COASTS in the US, 1 PM ET / 10 AM PT. If your cable guide says it's at 1 PM it's likely in error, so I'd also record the 10 AM hour.

Let me know which cable company you are on if it lists 1 PM west coast time.

Join Us! All the cool kids are doing it

Yeah 09 was exciting because Kinect was fresh (and all those games mentioned), 10 was because of the xbox slim.

11 and 12 were boring though, nothing to write home about.

 

[Klocker]

There's always a few people who get so oddly annoyed over avatar trends. I always think they're cool, even when they're for games / events I don't care about. Let the hype flowwww

not to mention this grew completely organically from an unrelated thread about OG Xbox nostalgia,


Snaku was the first

 

[ClovingWestbrook]

Apparently my wife is hyped for the reveal lol

 

[killer rin]

 

[XP-Enigma]

Here my friend!

Wait, I got skipped! Can you make one for me too?

 

[DopeyFish]

Every E3 without Mattrick.

Not mattricks fault

More needing to fix the issues plaguing the division in terms of money

That's why microsoft kinda went cold

With 360 becoming a huge success in the end, Microsoft will likely go back to Xbox 1 level investment, potentially greater... It was late 2010 that everything turned around... So in 2011 when they are looking at investment and new IPs and broad portfolio... Should they start going towards next gen and ride the wave or waste studios on current gen? Considering the turnaround time for games, too. AAA projects take 2 years...

The entire gen was fucked in timing for everything...

 

[Louis Cyphre]

Here my friend!

That was quick, thanks.

Happy wife = happy life. Microsoft better deliver!

Yes, 11 was bad, too many Kinect games. And 12 was poor, apps and the same IPs.

Thanks for the clarification, Geoff! I have Time Warner in LA, and it was showing the 1pm time earlier but they now seem to have it right.

I can't even remember last year, so forgettable.

The problem with the "Only on Xbox" avatars is they feel a lot more like an advertisement than something as obscure as kazified avatars. They also aren't near as clever, IMO.

Everyone is welcomed !

ended with black ops, should have ended with halo 4 instead.

I hope you got your questions ready for Mattrick.

Ah yes, my WTF moment.

I nearly skipped the first 10 minutes because I assumed it'd be COD like it usually is

I hope you got your questions ready for Mattrick.

yeah, can we chime in with questions?!

 

[oVerde]

Wait, I got skipped! Can you make one for me too?

Sorry

I am using Comcast as my cable provider and it is listed under 1pm PST. In addition, if you go to Spike T.V.'s website, they also show it at 1pm PST. I hope this is an error since I prefer to record and watch it on my T.V..

Thanks in advance if this can be sorted out.

Have there been any murmurs about what the hell Epic's Gears of War team has been up to since Gears 3?

 

[XtremeXpider]

I can't even remember last year, so forgettable.

Last E3 was bad for all, Nintendo disappoint, Sony bored and MS bored too. Ubisoft saved the E3 13.

 

[oVerde]

Believe the hype!

new ip

Haven't read a thing with any detail

 

[Phonomezer]

I can't even remember last year, so forgettable.

XBLA was on fire last year... Minecraft, Fez, Deadlight, Spelunky, Mark of the Ninja, Alan Wake's American Nightmare, Sine Mora, Trials Evolution, Dust: An Elysian Tail..

 

[ClovingWestbrook]

Believe the hype!

Lol awesome! I'm not sure if I can change it since Blackace owns my ass but I'mma try!

Thanks!!!

 

[GeeDuhb]

Thanks for the avi guys!

We don't know.

Epic may be making Samaritan, another title, or moving to tech only

They are in a funny place

also their attempt to grow their ecosystem with Windows Phone (had one since launch) is not panning out as hoped so may be time to double down on the living room ecosystem

Speaking of which, whatever happened to Fortnite?

I wonder what ramifications the lukewarm response to Windows 8 and the Surface tablet will have on the new Xbox?

 

[XP-Enigma]

Sorry

Yay, thank you! 😊

What is so "clever" about putting some generic corporate schmuck's face into your avatar?

Believe.

Hoping for Samaritan myself.

No Cliffy no Gears.

Ashamed to say I bought AWAN but have never played it. Minecraft my nephew plays on my 360 and I just think to myself "How the hell did this sell so much!"

if you get it sorted don't forget the half hour after show

Begging Cliffy B to come back.

 

[James Sawyer Ford]

We don't know.

They are in a funny place

Cliff is gone, but the team is obviously still there.

It's been 2 years since Gears 3. So they've had plenty of time to be working on SOMETHING.

Microsoft probably has them locked up for a new IP, if I were to guess.

I hope it looks as good as their infiltrator demo...that looked superb

It's personal frustration of course.
I won't blame them if they gain the success they'll aim for with Kinect, but compared to the lineup within the first years, the plattform just offered nearly nothing for me in the end.

Whenever I see Mattrick I'll see the strategy shift that threw me off my favorite plattform.
Anyway, I'm looking forward to it and hope they worked on their 1st party front and finally offer a decent diversity of genres.

 

[DopeyFish]

This also shows MS investment... XBLA titles have a MUCH shorter turnaround time

Remedy (HAH) that before the reveal!

I have a 3500 word paper to write, and these xbox shenanigans are keeping me well and truly distracted I can't be playing games as well!! haha

 

[keuja]

not to mention this grew completely organically from an unrelated thread about OG Xbox nostalgia,

ah ok. I just asked initially because, I started seeing "xboxified" avatars everywhere and I thought I missed a back story.

 

[Hawk269]

if you get it sorted don't forget the half hour after show

I will. I am hoping that Comcast listing is wrong and so is the spikes website is wrong too. The show after the show is usually pretty good, hope they have some good people to interview after the event and hopefully they can speak openly about the system.

 

[aristotle]

Speaking of which, whatever happened to Fortnite?

PC exclusive for now.

 

[bigboss370]

Spend them big bucks MS, lets see some big hardware

 

[oVerde]

PC exclusive for now.

Witness was too, anything can turn around with the right hat.

I wouldn't be that surprise since the Minecraft exploded all over the X360.

 

[Miles X]

MS will make over $1b profit in the EDD this year, I don't think we're gonna see the big losses we saw with 360 and I hope they're a bit more willing to splash the cash this gen because of it.
