I'm in Japan and have responsibilities, so what would be the best way to watch this at a reasonable time after the event, without seeing any spoilers? I imagine that even if I load the page on Xbox.com or gametrailers in advance and then refresh the next day, that the page will be plastered with stuff like 'relive the moment Xbox infinity and pgr 5 were announced!'. And that's assuming they even keep a recording up there.

Someone (I may do it) will make a spoiler free thread that will give you a direct link to the conference
 
Oh snap! I have not checked this thread out in about 24 hours and its now up to 18,500+ posts? Damn, we are going to hit the post limit WAY before Tuesday! Imagine if there were actually leaks...Keep the anticipation up, GAF!

Have an Xbox? Go full forums/internet/social networks blackout and watch on it later, will be available, pretty sure also later on GT.
 
But how will you find the thread when there will be at least 10 threads about it on the front page?

Typing

SPOILER FREE Xbox Event 2013 (or some variation) may do it. Making sure "spoiler free" is in all caps so it's easy to glance at or search for without looking at specific thread titles.

Microsoft Corp. MSFT +2.32%will unveil its new Xbox on Tuesday. What's underneath the hood of the latest videogame console represents a multiyear odyssey of trying to figure out how to keep the machine "cool" in the age of smartphones and tablets.

Since the last Xbox debuted in 2005, Microsoft has produced multiple prototypes for a new console and experimented with different technologies for it, said people familiar with the matter. The company has looked at streaming games from far-away servers to the latest Xbox; sending recorded videos of game exploits on the Web from the console; and including various television technologies, these people said.

My school lets out 2 hours after the event. I'm thinking of just skipping since its almost the end of the year but... ugh. I might just watch the event on my phone since we won't be doing anything all day.
 
That might not work since there will be numerous threads about individual stories from the conference. Maybe someone could make PM list of people who want to direct link for the video. That way they wont have a look at the forum.

I guess I could do it. Ill be working so it may take a bit before I send it out.
 
I don't think that means all the rumors were valid in some way (I really don't want to give those blogging sites that used less than reliable sources a pass), but that makes sense. Many people in this thread actually had this theory, especially due to Microsoft's amount of resources.

Yeah. It's kinda entertaining tho seeing all the post "confirming" all those leaked specs instead of waiting for the final spec
 
Someone balmerize this

they could just favorite the thread page in their browser and go directly to it.
 
I'm going to have to stay off GAF and other sites till I am able to watch it. Will there be a place a can watch the event say two or three hours after it happens?

It's going to be replayed on Xbox Live through the Live event app, and Gametrailers will likely host a stream of it as well. It'll be hard to avoid spoilers though.


Remember when everyone said the specs were locked and that was that?

Many of us posted that if ANY current manufacturer could afford multiple solutions, it was Microsoft.

Maybe they'll spring an animal on us after all.
 
This guy start implying something

"Alan waked up,John waked up...still someone not waking..."

For anyone who's not in the know Alan likely refers to Alan Wake, and John refers possibly to Master Chief in Halo?

I know, but people wouldn't believe it. Shit just got real.
 
I agree with him, halo as an fps needs a break. Really burnt out on shooters as it is. We need more games like bioshock though, just completed it today and was amazed.

Not gonna lie though, I would be pretty hyped for a halo squad type game, in the vein of borderlands or something.


I was thinking more in the vein of Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter.

Someone compared the 3rd person idea to gears. That is silly, implying all 3rd person games are like gears.

This Halo game would be a SQUAD BASED shooter. Issuing commands to your squadmates (Ideally Master Chief's original Blue team), calling in air strikes, reinforcements (ODSTs or other Spartans). The icing on the cake would be getting to actually see the Spartans running and jumping and fighting etc. One of the coolest features of reach was the 3rd person segments with Assassinations. You got to see the Spartans in ways that you never could in an FPS do the to the first person point of view. Also a hand to hand combat system (Similar to say Batman: AC only a closer camera angle) would be an AMAZING touch.

Story wise you could go back and explore earlier covenant war stories or maybe the Insurrection? The expanded universe has LOTS of potential.

The goal, another person said, was to make the device connect games more tightly to normal television watching. So if a customer's friend began playing Activision Blizzard's "Call of Duty," for instance, he could challenge the friend to a match, sending an invitation to the TV screen

Thats interesting. Always connected.. indeed.
 
An Obsidian pick-up (exclusive((s)) deal, not buyout) would be some OG Xbox type of shit, like what they did with Bioware.

Yeah I have been hoping Obsidian will announce a deal with ether MS or Sony. Both could use a RPG and Obsidian could use something big like that.


Anyway what was the last thing we heard about Ryse? It wasnt Kinect Only last I heard but I dont know what kind of game it is now.

Yeah, to me it doesn't necessarily imply it always has to be connected to the internet, but that when you are, you're 'always connected' regardless of whether you're on your xbox or not.

I think someone came out and said this is perhaps where the confusion came in about the whole Always Online thing.
 
So, sorry for asking again, searching brought up wonky results, where exactly will this be livestreamed from?

Links? I know gametrailers is having a "reveal" event but i dont want to trust a source unless i know it's going to be a working livestream. I don't want the countdown to end just for me having to search things like "xbox live stream" for like half an hour
