War can be so tragic.

We may need to draft some Juniors with Only on Xbox avatars, as an emergency measure.



The wall of shame.

RIP Baconsammy, Reiko, China Don't Care, that dude from Italy who had the public meltdown.

Why was China banned? lol at TheKayle's meltdown. He was banned for that?
 
I thought the site had become less fun to post on recently. Those guys who were banned really contributed to making this place awesome.

Anyway, any theories as what MS show at thier conference? I'm thinking they'll go nuts and show off games that are anywhere from launch to 2 years away.

China was banned for over enthusiastic white knighting, presumably.

As for TheKayle, maybe he asked to be banned out of shame and dismay.

Shandy was banned too, apparently. Such heavy losses...

is this the MS press conference thread?

I guess it is now? I'd have preferred something with GIFs from FordGT or Phatshaqs, but this'll do.

Gestault hype gifs away;

At least this time their calling their conference "Xbox: A new generation of games and entertainment" so I expect games... and entertainment.

Last year was "Entertainment evolved" and well, we got what we got.

I'm very optimistic for this year.

Poor China.

Do you have a link to the meltdown? That guy made so many nonsensical posts in the hype-thread. Literally hundreds. I absolutely don't want to gloat or anything but it's nice to not have to read any more of those posts.

June 10th is going to be a fantastic day with all of the big conferences.
 
Wow this thread is really small compared to the other one. What happened?

As mentioned, people are generally posting in other threads. I expect there's also a feeling that any positive discussion towards the One or MS in general might result in people being labelled as fanboys, warriors or apologists.
 
I looked at the reveal as MS showing what they had. At E3 they will show us what they can do with it.

Still hyped!

edit: just noticed I lost my junior. Just in time for E3 :)
 
I think it will be for gamers, but not just games. They will go over the new achievement system and other gaming aspects of the new OS.

Well they've said specifically E3 will be about "Games", so a majority of it will be, if not the whole thing.

The question is what games specifically. So they have 15 first party published exclusives coming within the first year, 8 of which are new IPs. Many of those will appear but as per above some won't (MS Osaka RPG for TGS, we may see Lost Odyssey 2 though...)

There's also bound to be a few third party exclusives, like Dead Rising 3, Titan, Hawken, Insomaniac's game, Mirror's Edge 2 etc.

I'd imagine there won't be much time to get into the nitty gritty of the OS, so they may leave that for after the keynote.
 
Choo-choo motherfucker. All aboard the Hype train. Mattrick the tank engine and his friends are ready to blow your *waiting for DRM verification*...MIND!


Edit: Son of a bitch, too late ):

7 at E3, 5 at Gamescom, 1 at TGS (that Microsoft Osaka Studios game) 2 at the VGA's maybe? No way to show those 15 games at E3.
 
I expect 4 launch titles played and shown and then some teasers shown at E3 for things farther out, maybe two.
 
I am still hyped; we never got all the Official info about the Xbox One, now is the time.

E3 is going to be, either absolutely amazing! for MS fans and gamers or The Great Dissapointment Part II that will split Human History into Before Microsoft E3 and 2013 After Microsoft E3.

*Honestly? I choose to believe it will be great.
 
I think they'll reveal a load of games but go into more detail in the coming months. Black Tusks game for example, we will just get the name of the project and a CG teaser.
 
I'm still hyped and will be riding the hype train.

Microsoft will still have some massive announcements at E3. "If you build it, they will come."

I really hope for many trailers to look like a CG and then they say, IT's FUKEN REALTIME!!!!11!1
 
I am still hyped over this. I've gotten old and cannot really keep up with GAF as I used to, but I am always excited for XBOX announcements since it's my favorite gaming platform.

Thats the exact thing you don't want to do at E3. Games like Deep down and Forza have been under estimated because its real time but nor representative of gameplay. Come on this is next gen, gameplay should be able to wow.

That sounds feasible, assuming it's only 7 at E3 then I'm going for;
Halo Something (Wars 2, 2 Anniversary, ODST 2)
Crackdown 3
Historic Rare Title
Killer Instinct 3 :(
Black Tusk's IP (probably CG)
Forza 4
Quantum Break
PGR5 or Lost Odyssey 2 (if not shown, will be at Gamescom or TGS respectfully)

The rest of the games third party exclusives or otherwise. Done.

Dat diminishing return.

Seriously though, I think we'll be wow'd plenty by both Microsoft and Sony, let's give them a chance to produce the goods for real.

No problems with it, too early on build gameplays usually are boring and hard to tell what it's really to be expected of. Sure, there are good ones, think of MGSV, but the game is already cinematic, a lap on racing game is not that thrilling.

That been said, I have low expectations over the game choices, I really appreciate when they make B games because arcade is the path they tend to go, not artsy projects.
 
I'm thinking the 3rd party exclusives will be:

Assuming the rumours are true

Titan.
Dead Rising 3
Insominacs game.
Mirrors Edge 2
 
I fully expect the MS conf to be the most megatonesque of the bunch. And probably the one most filled with game demos. Should be a great way to kickstart E3 13.

Yeah, I expect something like that. Gamescom could show us more european centric stuff (Lionhead's new game, Rare's 2nd rumored game, something from Press Play or Lift London maybe)
 
I'm still excited and I know many others that are too, but posting here lately as a MS fan is .. well not an enjoyable experience, that's for the rational ones among us!
 
I think there are still a lot of people very excited about the conference. I just don't think we put that excitement into posts. We used a lot of energy with the Reveal thread- give us some time to recover, damn it. We're not machines!

Mirrors Edge 2

Those are the rumored ones, along with LoL and Hawken. I'd be surprised if they get both Titan and ME2 though...

Makes a lot of sense. I expect Lionhead's rumored MMO will be saved for Gamescom, though we could always get a reel or have brief CG trailers for a few from Press Play and the like.

True, but you can always stick to threads like this.

Surprisingly, rational discussion becomes considerably more available when there's an absence of obsessive anti-Xbox vitriol, childish attempts at "firsties"/thread winning and a high horse mentality that makes you feel inferior for being excited about Xbox One.

you have been really confident about LO2 please tell me its really a thing :(



I think Lionheads game is almost done, they were posting about their work back in april a bit openly.
 
Count me onboard. Really looking forward to this one, MS have everything to prove and i think we'll see some really awesome looking titles.
 
I think it will be for gamers, but not just games. They will go over the new achievement system and other gaming aspects of the new OS.

They'll probably have to touch on DRM now. It seems like they hadn't planned to include that kind of thing, but now if they just show games there'll be complaints they didn't cover these issues instead.

Of course if they show stuff other than 'just games' there'll be people who complain about that as well. It's a nice Catch 22 that's been set up so people can be bitterly disappointed either way lol

They don't need, not along the presentation. They need to prove them self worth it, and clear talk it post show.
 
New IP's
Lionhead New IP, RPG with MMO elements
Ryse
Titan (also available for 360)
Black Tusk Shooter
Kinect Fitness
Hawken (also on PC)
League of Legends (also on PC)
Family Kinect Game IP by Rare
Quantum Break

Returning IP's
Killer Instinct 3
Crackdown 3
Dead Rising 3
Mirror's Edge 2
Forza 5

Should be a solid showing. I expect Black Tusk IP to be very early and just be a teaser. I think the above list is what will happen and is a good showing.

For comparison sake, this is what I reckon PS4 E3 showing will have

New IP's
Santa Monica IP
Ready at Dawn action adventure IP
The Last Guardian
Zindagi's new Move IP
Drive Club
Knack

Returning IP's
Final Fantasy XV (also available for PS4)
inFamous Second Son
Killzone Shadowfall

Microsoft showing will be stronger with more games, however I think Sony will spread out more announcements over Gamescom, TGS and VGA's, with games like Uncharted 4, MediaMolecule's new IP and Guerilla Games fantasy IP. Where as Microsoft will blow their load at E3.
 
you have been really confident about LO2 please tell me its really a thing :(

I have.

I'm told by no less than two industry insiders, that happen to be my friends, that it's a thing. Though they both are differing on who's developing, when it's coming and when we'll hear about it, as far as I'm concerned I'm just happy it might happen.

There's been a lot of rumors on the net lately too and it's just about the only game that Aaron Greenberg and others won't comment on when asked straight out.

Lets do this.

Why the hell not.
