Sony didn't really go that deep... they spent some time on hardware, but it was mostly about how it was similar to a PC and easy to develop for.

I suppose the GT pre-even stuff will be on the same stream as the main event will be so I don't need to worry about jumping around?

How is the GT stream anyway? I think I used the official PS one for PSMeeting.
 
Born and raised, 504 reppin'! I didn't know you were from NO? Still down here or did Katrina kick you out?

:D

Still down here. Was living on the Westbank during Katrina.

I was born and raised (For a decade or so) in New Orleans though. 9th Ward.
 
nope, will not happen
Valve and MS are not on good terms and direct competitors more now than ever.

Same as Valve and Sony were not exactly close when all that went down.

I'm working on the same assumption that all the posturing and bluster from Valve about linux and steamboxes was leading to a good deal on the new Xbox.

*shrug* got to have something that'd be interesting.
 
I just know there will be a surprise reveal here. AW 2, Epic, or Respawn, I'm thinking we get a tease of one of these games.
 
i will buy 40 xboxnexts if EA says on stage "unprecedented partnership" :)

i hope they don't miss the chance for great trolling and free press.
 
Predictions:

Console name: The New Xbox

Better than 1.2TF gpu.
Always On is MS marketing term for standby mode
Unprecedented Partnership with EA.
Surprising amount of games shown.
Some awesome live features.
J Allard on stage
 
rockstar will no go at e3 like always :)


"Grand Theft Auto V won't make an appearance at E3, publisher Take-Two has confirmed."

When Peter Moore lifted his shirt to reveal GTAIV tattoo was Take-Two there? That statement could mean nothing or it could mean everything (wow I feel like im building hyperbole). Either way the question remains will GTAV make an appearance on next gen consoles? Or will it be a HD version in a year or 2?
 
He is among those lucky ones who receive a special treatment from me. Sometimes one way or the other! ;)

So the truth, Mr B: when Faultier and I were forensically analysing the early Montserrat screenshots on FM.net before FM3 launched, and discovered the possibility of the three tracks being linked, were you tipping him the nod or giving any hints? Don't cheapen my memory of that awesome time and our awesome powers of deduction!
 
Really pumped for the new Xbox announcement, hopefully Microsoft goes in guns blazing. If they show the console then it will be a better announcement than Sony's by default.

Sony didn't set the bar very high.

They only need to show the console, discuss the hardware, show a few games and actually show the UI running.
 

That wasn't detailed during the show, though. The real technical information was provided later, through press release and later interviews. Not that it's a bad thing... it's even a great improvement on previous performances from Kutaragi. Actually I would have preferred even less spec talks (the over-simplified slide I quoted isn't really useful, "there's good CPU and good GPU and good RAM and good storage"... the conference would have been just as fine without that).
 
Which pre-show is everyone watching? IGN or GT? I was gonna watch GT, but IGN has Molyneux and that's BOUND to be entertaining. Probably watch both..
 
I'm excited for the embarresments and fuck ups more than anything

"we are excited and proud to announce that xbox has a exclusive deal with EA"

*everything goes black*

The guys from the battlefield 4 video come on screen in such outstanding visuals it makes avatar look like Lair

The battlefield music starts playing as the guys walk closer to the screen

The leader raises his hand to gesture a halt

Music stops

Hand turns to fist

he jolts his arm and head down, while his other hand grabs his groin

BAM

Billy jean kicks in while dance central covers the screen

"EXCLUSIVE TO X80X"
 
I don't think that they will announce a console more powerful than PS4 but I hope they do to see the Internet explode.
 
could not agree more, the titles Sony has released so far are only well known and liked by the Sony fanboys. To the rest of the world they have no appeal and appear overrated. I hope there will be better games announced at E3.

Almost guaranteed that more games will be announced at E3. "Better?" Well, better is a subjective term. Do you honestly believe that Bungie's next big sci-fi shooter, Destiny, has "no appeal to the rest of the world" and "appear overrated?" Even with Killzone, not being the biggest FPS franchise out there; you claim that it has "no appeal to the rest of the world?" Likewise, Watch Dogs has "no appeal?" Infamous: Second Son has "no appeal?" Come on, now.

With that said, I think anyone with common sense realize that Sony would never reveal all their cards in a single early-2013 conference, and have nothing left in the tank for E3. People such as yourself who were critical of the PS4 reveal shouldn't be disappointed if Microsoft also reserves many of their announcements for E3, especially considering the event is only 1-hour long.

They did more than enough general technical discussion during the show, if ms matches... I'll be happy.

critical?
I loved the PS4 reveal. The tech and concept were great, the games were ok but not anything earthshattering that is needed to sell a console.
 
Well I'm awake now. Because I'm getting ready to go to work. Like most people with disposable income. Big fuck you to MS for hosting the reveal at 10 am on a Tuesday.
