Streaming on 360 has been very good historically. Quality will be better most big sites however there's usually a little delay.
Hahaha, so good!

Is this a new shot from the campus?
Looks like a nice day, unfortunately for MS it'll likely be raining during the event according to current weather predictions. Not good for an event held in a big tent, that rain noise!

xbox.fr is also using the new logo branding:
http://www.xbox.com/fr-fr/
I think at this point it's pretty obvious that the next system will be just called Xbox.
Edit: It seems all of the regional sites are now, including the US one.

Why would you do that to yourself, just sit tight and turn off the Internetz until the show begins!

Ack! Can't wait, if it's good then hooray for gaming goodness, if it's bad then gaf will be a hilarious source of entertainment, I can't lose.
Also we're guaranteed to get at least 3 or so next gen sneak peaks, and that's really what I want, I don't care if they're exclusive, I want to see some next gen visuals.

Please no arm flapping shit today MS. Had enough of that your past E3s
I just noticed that the German Xbox page already uses new logos for Xbox and Xbox Live on some subpages:

MS isn't that stupid to use a logo that is that similar to the 360's. Right?

I think the tent is two layered, with a wood roof beneath the tarp to drown some of that out. I'm just happy MS decided to have the local event at a hotel here, so that won't be a issue for me.

Why is that? The logo doesnt say 360 now does it?

Huh, I guess it doesn't lol. That's so strange, I could've sworn it did.

This is happening also here in Italy.

I don't think it would be a problem. Sony kept the same PS logo since their first console, only changing the colors.

Kinect 2.0 will cancel that noise out with the microphone array!

That new Xbox LIVE logo is grim.
did you install the live-app already? it was available yesterday to me in germany.
If there's a PGR and it's not a launch title, Microsoft cocked up. It's the only franchise they have that is closely associated with the launch of the platform, and as a sign of understanding and valuing long time fans, having PGR on day 1 just makes sense.
It's not that it's made entirely redundant by releasing it apropos of nothing next year or something, but as a "statement" it's diminished.

I don't think so: even with Xbox 360 the site had only "Xbox" in the logo.

There is no way it won't launch globally this year.

My spell check detected a few typos in your post and fixed them.
OMG !
OMG !
OMG !
Ok, yes...sending PGR to die again by Microsoft's own hand isn't really the best decision, but fuck it, i'm buying both.
And GT6.
And DriveClub.
Man, i really have to build that racing cockpit in my garage during the summer.
OMG, can't wait.
(Badned said Forza Motorsport 5 won't happen today, though)
sucks for Lucid Games if true though.

Serious question: Will they even bother with Japan this time?
If I have NFS:U (a Criterion reboot), PGR5, GT6, AND DC this fall I'm going to lose my mind.

Did PGR4 sell well?

That's not happening.

eventually i think it did, but i think Microsoft kinda killed it's launch by releasing it at the same time as some Halo.

Was asked a lot in the first thread.
To answer, yes. A considerable amount of people who buy Japanese orientated games don't live in Japan, in some cases a majority. That and even a small Japanese userbase is profitable.
MS only released the 360 in my home country Israel in 2012 (!) but it's worth it even for a small boost in Xbox Live subscriptions etc.
Yeah, eventually.
It's a beloved series by a significant fanbase, so it's an easy way to shift some consoles and save Forza for later.

Gotcha. It's a great franchise, be delighted to see it on next gen
it was launched on the same day as halo 3, with zero marketing. so no, it didnt. that the reason why bizarre wanted to get away from microsoft.

The only thing I hated about PGR4 was the fucking noise of my drive.. man that disc sounded like it was tearing up the inside of my 360...

Xbox Live logo now just an add on to the main logo?
Acheteedo
Member
Could happen!

Why did MS do that? Makes no sense
Acheteedo

Definitely. They won't put a big push behind it, they'll just treat it like another Sweden or something, worth being in, not worth spending millions of exclusives for that country alone.
He's said since that Saladine misinterpreted his comment, and that FM5 will DEFINITELY* be shown.
*not definitely.

really surprised they didn't flatten the xbox guide button logo thingy. kinda gradienty for microsoft.

Wasn't Viva Pinata released on the same day as Gears of War as well?
Edit: Or was that Gears of War 2 and Nuts & Bolts

I really hope they will put a decent hd version of the reveal online after the show, or direct feed videos for the games.
