[Mascot]

Two and a half hours to go - that means we get to see a heavily-edited showreel of 2-second snippets of next-gen xbox games (to a dubstep soundtrack) in a sniff under three and a half hours time! Woooo!

[Courage]

I'm note THAT good at this, but, here we go

lol

 

[eso76]

is there an EA game we aren't going to see?

Mirror's edge 2 ??

:-(

 

[postal chaos]

is there an EA game we aren't going to see?

Mirrors Edge

Beaten lol

 

[Winterfang]

We can tell because it's salt water.

damn.

 

[Mononoke]

Looking forward to a new Blood Wake announcement.

Anyone?


It isn't happening; it will never happen...

I thought no games were being talked about today.

 

[Queen of Hunting]

We can tell because it's salt water.

no one will see him anyway because everyone will be in the tent lol

 

[The_Monk]

Fierce hype train almost here.

 

[solarus]

So, basically you're saying we should expect a ton of emphasis on Kinect, casual/family-oriented games, and multimedia/cable box functionality? Gee, how exciting.



Why do they have to react before E3?

No I'm saying you are going to see names people care about like fifa and call of duty and it's going to get people talking about the next xbox on a much larger scale than the rabid forum discussions people have about the ps4 having fantastic dev support and sytem architecture.

 

[RyudBoy]

I'm ready for this. Bring it on, MS!

 

[Takuya]

Takuya still fighting the good fight.

goddamn son, your dedication brings a tear to my eye.

I love you too.

 

[Wario64]

 

[Salaadin]

WTF!

Very nice

[Tripp Daily]

Let me break it down for everyone:

Sony marketing department makes light hearted jab acknowledging today is a big news day.

Major Nelson responds in kind.

At E3 and beyond, diligent businessfolks will be competitive professionally and usually friendly with each other. They will joke, congratulate and commiserate on successes and failures. They will drive home at night, thinking about work issues and imagining solutions. They will have dinner with their families. They will get up again the next day.

Life will go on.

What was Major Nelson's response?

 

[CrunchinJelly]

Is that Shane Kim?

 

[sTaTIx]

Yes of course, because he's a more prominent employee. Your point?

My point is that the distinction between a twitter page officially representing a company and an "twitter page that doesn't technically represent a company" is almost entirely pointless.

It's like if Steve Ballmer came out and insulted the PS4 on his personal twitter page. It might be an even bigger deal than if the Xbox twitter page insulted the PS4.

 

[Purple Santa]

I'm note THAT good at this, but, here we go

That works for me.

 

[bigbaldwolf86]

Fierce hype train almost here.

Ha ha that made me laugh

 

[DragonSworne]

Which Hotel is everyone staying at?

 

[JetBlackPanda]

I presume you need a Gold membership to watch it?

Har har

Nope

 

[Doffen]

I presume you need a Gold membership to watch it?

and a Windows Phone connected to your Microsoft Surface.

 

[Miles Quaritch]

Looking forward to a new Blood Wake announcement.

Anyone?


It isn't happening; it will never happen...

BLOODKWAKE SEQUEL, BITCHES!!!!!!!

BELIEVE.

Anyway, in the way home. Should get in just before the event starts. Excitement is at maximum, come on PGR5.

 

[Neko Mimi Mode]

I thought no games were being talked about today.

We've got CoD, FIFA, other EA stuff, Battlefield, possibly PGR/Forza and maybe even Halo (with Frankie making a grand entrance suspended by wire)

Oh and the Alan WakE3 megaton at the end.

So yeah, no games.

 

[Diablohead]

While you guys stare at the screen watching the conference, eating your Doritos and drinking mountain Dew, i'll be pulling heavy pallets up a store, scanning them and doing shit until 11pm GMT

What a night!

Their countdown is 1 hour off.

 

[GQman2121]

So not streaming on YouTube? I just want to make sure that's not an option.

 

[DragonSworne]

and a Windows Phone connected to your Microsoft Surface.

You'll need a Zune HD as well to get audio.

 

[cheezcake]

Anyone know where I could watch this love on an Android Phone?

 

[Violater]

Ok guys we need a safe place to go when Gaf crashes.

 

[CrunchinJelly]

Anyone know where I could watch this love on an Android Phone?

XBOX.COM

 

[shinnn]

My point is that the distinction between a twitter page officially representing a company and an "twitter page that doesn't technically represent a company" is almost entirely pointless.

So one account posted on twitter a pic of them watching the Sony reveal, and a post event comment about the reveal. The other account post a ironic tweet saying not is happening today.

You still think its the same approach?

 

[oVerde]

Ok guys we need a safe place to go when Gaf crashes.

There will be Karak's AngryCentaur twitch channel.

 

[brandonh83]

So can we realistically expect them to reveal one game that isn't a "bro" game or sports game or whatever we like to label those things? For me they could really stand to reveal a new, interesting IP or even a mascot. I know Kameo wasn't everyone's cup of tea, but I really enjoyed it and it made getting a 360 at launch worth it. I hope to see at least one game along those lines, something with a shred of imagination and promise of adventure.

 

[Neko Mimi Mode]

We have one.

 

[Rösti]

Their countdown is 1 hour off.

<script type="text/javascript">
// JR event countdown output = div.eventCountdown
function cdtd() {
var xmas = new Date("May 21, 2013 18:00:00");
var now = new Date();
var timeDiff = xmas.getTime() - now.getTime();
if (timeDiff <= 0) {
        clearTimeout(timer);
document.write("x");
// Run any code needed for countdown completion here
    }
var seconds = Math.floor(timeDiff / 1000);
var minutes = Math.floor(seconds / 60);
var hours = Math.floor(minutes / 60);
var days = Math.floor(hours / 24);
hours %= 24;
    minutes %= 60;
    seconds %= 60;
document.getElementById("timerDays").innerHTML = days;
document.getElementById("timerHours").innerHTML = hours;
document.getElementById("timerMins").innerHTML = minutes;
document.getElementById("timerSecs").innerHTML = seconds;
var timer = setTimeout('cdtd()',1000);
}
</script>

They could be counting down to the pre-show.

OK then.

So one account posted on twitter a pic of them watching the Sony reveal, and a post event comment about the reveal. The other account post a ironic tweet saying not is happening today.

You still think its the same approach?

And you think that the tweet was actually serious about today being a slow news day. lol

 

[Liha]

My body is ready but I must eat anything before.

 

[Violater]

There will be Karak's AngryCentaur twitch channel.

We have one.

Sweet thanks,
See you guys on the other side.

 

[RedNumberFive]

and a Windows Phone connected to your Microsoft Surface.

It was a serious question, but thanks, I guess.

What a night!

Least you are working mate

what?

 

[Ramblin]

How I envy you. Meanwhile back at corporate twitter etiquette headquarters...

No it's not!

I despise the term bro and the negative stigma attached to it and sports titles. It should be bannable IMO as if someone went in and flipped out about JRPG's or mascot fighting games they would get destroyed.

 

[Alx]

I was thinking about the back of the invitation again, and the mention of Illumiroom being part of the reveal, and I think it will probably be presented during the tour of the labs, rather than the one-hour conference.

 

[GlamFM]

Ready, let´s do this!
