Just wait until the show starts, you'll be jumping 30+ posts every refresh.
This HAS to be a scene from a movie.

well, Badned's comment saying more or less "oh, i never said FM5 won't be there on 21st.....dotsdotsdots..." must mean something..
But PGR5 is almost certain, so...both ?
unless Pgr5 was scrapped at last moment for not looking good enough
I'm fine with either, I just want to see what they can achieve on better hardware.
Same here! That sudden realisation you might be gay. <3 lol
A few more hours to go! Microsoft, show why I should buy an Xbox! (Pro-tip: EA games wont do it!)
Right before GAF goes down.

My predictions:
- Brief discussion over the Xbox history
- Durango specs are largely similar to what was leaked, with one or two differences (for the better) but MS will not focus on them much at all, instead on the look of the box
- PGR5 or some other racer is revealed
- Fifa 14 and Battlefield 4 are shown (the latter with on-stage demonstration), there is some sort of partnership announced with EA - but in regards to those two titles it is exclusive DLC/marketing and not platform exclusivity
- There will be a video which highlights some games we saw at the PS Meeting as also being available on the Durango (including Destiny)
- Some smaller/lesser known titles are revealed in trailer form (some will be nice surprises)
- There will be a video of developers gushing over the Durango tech
- There will be some Kinect 2.0/IllumiRoom/apps focus, but not as much as some are expecting
- The show will close with Call of Duty

Whoah, have those logos be slightly squished under the weight of expectation? Subtle, Saladine. Very subtle.
Apart from the Kinect and Ilumiroom not being as much as people are expecting, I kinda agree with you.

Some predictions;
- CoD is the only game that gets any length of time.
- EA games are shown in a reel with cheesy music and fake cheering.
- Halo 4 appears to demonstrate Illumiroom or similar. Teaser for spinoff possibly in a reel.
- Don Mattrick is pleased with his efforts and feels he deserves a round of applause.
- People think the show's over then boom Alan WakE3.
- I don't sleep again tonight.

I hope in the reveal they have a sense of humor about all the always online rumors if indeed it's not the case. Would be glorious.

Nah. They registered that in 2001.
This conference will have succeeded if after watching it I no longer want to play PS3 and Xbox 360 games.
After playing a Dreamcast for the first time, there was a period where I no longer wanted to play my N64 games. Microsoft and Sony need to elicit that same feeling from us either now, at E3, or when we play kiosks for these consoles for the first time.

VGLeaks says Kinect is not a focus of Xbox 3.

Registered in 2001, no indication that it is the actual name of the machine.
Also weird tidbit - I heard from a developer that there is a chance that Kinect V.2.0 won't be called Kinect and that they are changing the name/brand for the new box.

Xbox.com will work on iOS and Android. WP need to download an app.
Same here. Just woke up, and I'm pumped!

Gaf is totally going to crash. Gifs and avatars should be disabled during the stream, as well as off-topic.

That's pretty ironic.
That's...odd. The windows team works so well with everyone!
Umm.., yes, that was exactly what I was trying to convey and had nothing to do with sloppy skills I can assure you...
Not likely, since the graphics won't be enough of a jump (at least not at launch) to evoke that first-impression of shock-and-awe. Mainly, it's due to the law of diminishing returns, but it's also the fact that many current-generation games already look pretty damn good (specifically the first-party titles).
When next-gen games start approaching Infiltrator-level of graphical acuity, then we'll finally be reaching the point where even the average gamer will be stunned by the graphical upgrade.

I highly doubt the new name will be just "Xbox" due to legal consequences.
Imagine your average consumer buying an old game with the wording "Xbox Compatible"
to later find out will not work with the new console, etc. You get the point

I'm going to have to DL this, the circumstances for my watching has changed.
... also means no NeoGAF, not that it will exist.

This exactly. They would never call it just xbox.

False. You watched the wrong video on facebook. The feature is legit and works, it was exactly the same as the guy played it on stage as people saw he did. GiantBomb even confirmed it.
Exactly the same as Xbox. FIFA, CoD and BF are also multiplatform titles, why should they sell more Xboxes than PS4s? Because mindshare.
My bet is on "Forza Next Generation" like they did with Kinect with very few details other than nice graphics.

You don't even have to use it.
I had a backup stream running on my iPhone during the PSMeeting, in case my broadband crapped out, and Chrome on iOS ran the live-stream fine. Just select "cancel" when the site offers you its app (if you don't want it).
Nah, it'll be called Xbox 720.

Wasnt it said that the show would last 2 hours instead? Will there be any delay on the post-show thingie because of this?

Lol, it would actually be amazing that they called it 720.
Because 720 >>> 4. Generation won.
