I forgot about Phill being with them. Shit's going to be awesome. I'd imagine he'll be doing his part for Europe.
 
I was eyeing up the new Nokia phones the other day. I also told myself I would remain console agnostic until both were launched. Genuinely excited for today's reveal, I am willing to jump on to your platforms this gen. At the end of the day I just hope the competition of MS and Sony, and the direction of their new platforms turn out to be good for gaming and moreover good for gamers.
 
Should I miss school for this? I'm allowed to miss one day, but I'm debating between today and the Monday of E3. If I do go to school that Monday I'll still be able to watch EA, Ubi, and Sony; it'd just be Microsoft I'd be missing. E3 will have juicier games but this is exciting.

No. You can always watch it later or live stream blog it from school.
 
Who's ready for Usher to perform at the event today to MS can "usher" in a new era of kinect that offers more realism and is incredibly awesome, because that's what we all want.

Oh wait, no one?

No way!

Get your ass to school. Games are fun but not worth missing work / school.
 
I'm getting more and more excited. I'll be home at 18:30 and at 19:00 I have my Xbox turned on with a stream and a couple of back up streams.

EXCITING!

No bud, it's not worth that now come on. Record it, go on a media lockdown and watch it when you get home and then get on GAF and talk about it with us. GAF may even be back up by then. :)
 
That would be such a disaster if true. I think there will be a few today.
I don't think so. Today is the night for third partys and the mainstream. E3 is the time for gamers. The mainstream press only looks to Xbox today, not at E3. So MS will try their best to wow them. You do that with big franchises.
It's just the smart thing to do business wise, especially with E3 right around the corner. Maybe they will piss a lot of hardcore gamers craving for new IPs off today, but they can easily win them back in two weeks already with new IPs at E3.

If they are smart, they have both on their side after E3.

I only see Xbox.com has a link to the show...will GT or some twitch channel or Spike or Gamespot any other site show the stream....I need 1 back up site...

And anything special for GAF here or will we be getting 504 for 2 hours...?
 
That would be awful, they'll definitely show a couple of new IP.

It's only an hour long show. Aaron Greenberg said MS are saving the game megatons for E3. He also said the Reveal was going to concentrate on hardware and services etc. It doesn't take much to connect the dots and assume there won't be any new IPs shown.

Well, actually, they could show some new IPs as a teaser reel. I would anticipate something along those lines to help build hype (along with the showstopper Alan WakE3 announcement), but I wouldn't expect to see much in the way of new IPs in general.
 
Lol at everyone who doesn't know Harrison is at ms.
Wait, what? Last time I heard anything about Phil, he was at Atari or something right?

What's he doing at MS?
 
I hope we see at least a few impressive looking games tonight.
If Microsoft focus on marketing the system as some kind of Media box rather than a games device it's possibly the worst mistake they could make.
 
On Ign that's true. In the real world I'm sure people want CoD.

Not necessarily true though. Even on PS3 and 360 together. A CoD game sells like to what? 15% of the total system owners? 15 million units between both systems? I have never bought the game. Never will either most likely. I think if you asked most people if they wanted something new and innovative or the same old, same old. They would say the former. Obviously something "new" isn't necessarily innovative and better than what has come before though.
 
I personally think that would be a terrible decision by MS if they did not show at least new IP for their new xbox.

Yeah, I think a split would work best. TBH, going for big new ip shock wow's at E3 is fairly meaningless, in terms of buzz for me, so I would prefer to hit mostly now with new ip's and perhaps hold back 1 or 2 for E3 if I was MS. I just don't see shockers translating into sales, so might as well hit very hard now, get some serious mindshare and then use E3 to consolidate rather than garner more.

TBH I guess I just don't see E3 as important. It's barely a mainstream event, everything is aggregated by tech sites anyway, following the beat of your own drum as a company just makes more sense to me.
