They should turn Viva Pinata into a Minecraft game. Imagine Minecraft with even a tiny bit of personality and flair. On second thought, I'll sell that idea to Nintendo. That's what Animal Crossing should be instead of the fruit-trading simulator that it is now.

 

[CrunchinJelly]

My first try. Rare-inspired.

 

[Ninja Moomin]

Crackdown... Viva Pinata... dat lack of variety.

viva piñata 2 is one of the best looking games ever made

Everytime someone mentions that game I have an urge to play it again. Shame they (almost) ruined 2 by having that douche come in to your land and wreck shit up.

Never played it, I only have the first one... I didn't get very far because some red (?) thing kept coming in and killing everything ;_;

So you mean Rare doesn't use anti-alisasing?

Sorry

 

[GANGSTERKILLER]

Just received a email from my ISP.

"Undergoing maintenance on May 21".

When my internet connection dies during the event I will freak out.

Hehe.

 

[Satchel]

Was Crackdown 2 any good? I remember sorta enjoying the demo despite being really pissed off by some aspects.

It improved the actual game play from 1, but you didn't feel as...superhero-y in 2.

Wingsuit for the fucking win though.

Whatever happens on May 21, stay with me.

Parents can't hear me cry or shout of joy.
Ooh yeah home alone

Have you guys opened the Xbox Live video streaming app? There's a 47mb update, so make sure you get it now just to be safe!

I'm going to leave this on my TV until it starts, screen burn-in be damned!

I'm not very good at The Gimp.

 

[JimiNutz]

I know people are excited for a new PGR but I'd rather MS give us another Forza Horizon. Horizon was awesome on 360 but felt like it was held back by hardware. Give me bigger map, more open at 60 fps in Horizon 2.
I'll take that over a new PGR please.

I probably wouldn't be any better.
I really liked the ones used in the PS Meeting thread, particularly the gif which contained the entire countdown. Looked great.

Or we get a new PGR as well as a new Horizon.

[R3TRO]

Those gifs a couple pages ago made me miss Crackdown;I guess I'll go install Viva Pinata on my PC.

 

[op_ivy]

maybe ms will go car fucking crazy and offer up forza: rallisport to follow up forza: gotham racer and in rotation with the established f:h and forza motorsports.

one can dream

What game is it though :lol

Perfect Dark?

Bloodwake....doesn't look like any Rare game to me.

Awesome!

 

[ChosenPredator]

I wish I was into racing games but I get bored of them after a week of playing

 

[Phonomezer]

Hey guys, on a scale of 1 to 10, rate your hype for the Nextbox conference

Very nice!

 

[Miles Quaritch]

Great work. Totally awesome.

 

[Baconsammy]

Same. I feel the same about FPS. Why do I own a PS3 and 360 then? XBLA. That's why. Also WRPGs.

What game is it though :lol

Perfect Dark?

Giant Nipple Island

 

[TangerineCloud]

This looks great!

 

[saladine1]

Or we get a new PGR as well as a new Horizon.

Or we get a new PGR as well as a new Horizon as well as a new Forza Motorsport.

 

[danwarb]

I have 7 out of 10 hypes.

 

[Phonomezer]

Yeah. The only racing game I've played consistently this generation has been Outrun Online... when I can find people to race against. A lot of fun.

Nice! Now do the same thing for Alan Wake "2" tomorrow.

Just realised I did finish Alan Wake back in february, but I've still not played the free DLC. Guess I know what to do before the Reveal on tuesday.

 

[Baconsammy]

Obviously you all meant to say Midtown Madness.

 

[derFeef]

Guuuyyss don't expect game announcements on tuesday

 

[Vico]

There are at least two games, though (because they used the plural when saying we would get to see games), and we only know about one.

Call of Duty: Ghosts is actually a TV series. The other game is a port of Letterpress for Windows Phone.

If that means I don't have to see puppets dancing, yay!

Games? Yes for sure. New game announcements? Get your expectations in check.

 

[specialguy]

are you somebody who knows stuff, or is that just an opinion?

guessing the latter.

also, the counter is close to turning over to 2 days and change.

seems forever to me though, i've got 4 sleeps left (since i'm gonna sleep today).

Edit wait, miscalculated! Maybe just ~2.5 sleeps left! 2 full sleeps. Sounds much better.

 

[Xenon]

If that means I don't have to see puppets dancing, yay!

No, just storm troopers.

 

[MaulerX]

can i ask what app u talking about?

It's the "Live Event Player" app. It's what they use when they stream live events. You can get it by clicking on the Xbox reveal banner on the dashboard. Or just Bing search it.

I asked Phil Spencer on twitter if there will be games there and he answered with a yes. CoD and an already announced next-gen game/port are highly likeley then. I just don't think it's a good idea when people get hyped for games on tuesday - they should save that for E3.

Crackdown 2 improved on everything, but I think the fact that the City was exactly the same made it a bit of a chore for some people who beld the original dry

 

[RetroStu]

What time is the event happening UK time?, i downloaded the app and it looks like 6pm UK time but i thought it was starting at 6pm in the US?
