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 think GT will have Kyle Bosman though.

u buying a ps4 right?

After 6 years of 95% of my playtime on 360, we'll see. I'll get the console which serves me better. This gen it was the 360.

Really? I'd love that, never got to see him live.

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.

Oh, ok. Yeah I'm from Algiers so I was fine for Katrina. I evacuated to Florida with my Xbox 360 Buyers Guide lol. I must have read that and the Gameinformer with Fight Night on the cover a million times waiting for the city to reopen. Shitty time but FEMA bought my launch 360.

Why am I still awake? Damn hype is like caffeine.

Has the name leaked yet? People are speculating on Twitter that it may be just called "Xbox".

I've been speculating that for close to a year.

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

Right on 80% of those points

I like that just Xbox...

That speculation is pretty old. Name hasn't leaked yet and some Japanese(?) Xbox guy stated, that only <15 people know the new name.

I'll watch GT until Giant Bomb's starts. If GB's stream craps out though I might just go with the Xbox Live one during the event.

For the Post show I'll go back to GT once Giant Bomb is done-- they have DVR controls usually so I'll be able to catch up with what I missed. They seem to have the most interesting post show since they'll be sitting down with Mattrick and other members of the next Xbox team.

I will be sure to check out the Post shows from IGN & The Verge as well. Not to mention the post-show show by Major Nelson.

 

[DodgerSan]

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.

I think it's a given we'll see it, but really? That's the most important thing to you, the look of the piece of plastic?

 

[TheVoidDragon]

Xbox720

- Always online
- High price
- Kinect 2
- No backwards compatible

Lets hype!

"Always online" is not a bad thing, at least when that term is used correctly. Requiring a connection at all times to do anything is bad though, but that is not what "Always online" means.

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.

I cannot understand this complaint.

The PS4 reveal was in February, that is FAR too early to show their biggest games. The games they showed were more than fine for that show.

It's going to take up living room/bedroom space. Of course it's important.

Okay, so now you've changed your wording a little bit.

You initially implied that all of the PS4-reveal game announcements--such as Watch Dogs and Destiny (Bungie's long-awaited new FPS)--have "no appeal to the rest of the world." Which is at best a glaringly false statement.

 

[Mascot]

Halo 4 used to demonstrate 'forward compatibility'.
Running on Durango in 1080p 60fps with bells and whistles.

THIS I like.

It was as exciting as a wet noodle. 80% bullshit that they have not even coded yet.

Source for the 80% figure?

EDIT: They even demonstrated the live gameplay recording function using Killzone Shadow Fall, and posted it to Facebook. You'd know this if you actually watched the event. Was that part of your expert "80% un-coded features" estimate?

[dragonelite]

After playing Dragons dogma for a week gonna continue in the summer.
I hope to see SQ with Deep down....

/not gonna happen :'(

 

[JaggedSac]

So a Halo title is basically confirmed? If it is Halo 2 I will buy this thing on launch, even if it is always online.

Wait, what? Halo was pretty much confirmed?

That figure is also 80% bullshit.

they are multiplatform titles, why should they sell more PS4s than Xboxes?
Why should they make me buy a PS4 instead of an Xbox (or just continue playing Nextgen on my PC)`?

 

[abracadaver]

Is there anything in the live viewer app yet ? Like a countdown or a preview ? I checked on saturday and there was nothing.

Also will there be a pre- and aftershow in the live viewer app ?

He works for Sony, that's the only way he'd know that 80% of the PS4 features are "un-coded bullshit."

50% of that 80% was pulled from his ass. I the other 50% was from a lucid dream.

Is Bill Gates attending the event?
