With it packed in the system it has to be shown on the 10th. I will even admit Im interested in seeing what they have done with it.

daebo, hopefully they were smart enough to program their models to not move in an inhuman fashion this time.

They would be smarter as you suggest to have off stage demos done and upload the videos. Or just show a pre recorded video of it.

Yeah, I can go the rest of my life never seeing that little girl fondling balls/shawn michaels gif ever again.

Hopefully, most of the kinect2 stuff will be just voice command or head tracking stuff which would be cool.
 
I'd rather see them demonstrate Illumiroom if possible. Although, I'm not sure on how that will work on stage...

This is far more interesting. But they would need to have the Kinect act as the projector, otherwise it's a lost cause.

No body gonna spend that dough for special effects on a projector.

My body is ready....First post! Glad to be apart of the Gaf community. Here is what I want to see at this conference.

-Black Tusk's game
-Quantum Break in action
-Forza 5 in action
-Fable 4 reveal...I don't care if it is an MMO or single player, I just want them to realize the full potential of the Fable world....speaking of which, make the game open world! No more instances please.
-Jet force gemini, I had a love affair with this game as a kid...can't believe we haven't seen anything since.
-Killer instinct 3 even though I am not big on fighting games
-Ryse! When this game was first announced as being a kinect only title I disregarded it with all the other kinect titles. Now that is has been redesigned as a controller based game, I am extremely excited to see what they do with it. Not enough games set in this time period, I am still waiting for an Assassins Creed set in ancient Rome...imagine starting off as a gladiator :O
-TitanfallI've been a Call of duty fan since the first on PC, Call of duty 4 was so innovative and had such an impact on future first person shooters. I am excited to see what the guys who crafted that game can do on their own, not to mention they took most of the Infinity ward crew with them.
-Crackdown 3 We all bought Crackdown for the Halo 3 beta, but man that game was so much fun. The sequel was pretty awful, but I think a 3rd game on the new console could be a ton of fun.


This is my main wish list, I hope to be surprised and I want some more details on the new Xbox live and what changes are going to be made. Also can we see the new headset please? I am NOT using my kinect as a mic.

Hopefully, they will show us some new accessories during the post-conference. Like you, I want to see a new headset, peripherals and what not.
 
Is this the first huge kerfuffle leading up to an E3 Conference post-PSNhaxxgate?

free snake rattle n roll for everyone -- all is forgiven
 
Xbox One being the steambox rumors appearing on the net. Instant fucking purchase if true.

Something like this honestly wouldn't surprise me. Way back when Steambox rumors were hitting and it was suggested Next Gen Xbox was running on a form of Windows I pondered the possibility.

That said, it sounds too good, so judging by recent events it won't be true.
 
Anyone else completely fucking amped at the idea of installing games then never needing the disc again?

Seriously the biggest thing about next Gen for me.

So hope the PS4 allows it. DRM be damned.

Do you I honestly think that MS wants Valve to be in charge of their online store? And I don't think valve would be happy if all this talk on how shitty the Xbone is because of DRM is because of valve themsefl

I think that Microsoft will also have games available day 1 digitally because honestly what's the point of having discs with this console.

Nope.

I think what I meant was I wouldn't be surprised at the possibility of a steam app which works with the Xbox One.

But I agree that Valve likely would not want to be associated with all this other BS.
 
Alienware revealing something next week, maybe it will iterate its X51 console/desktop. If anything I think that's a potential "Steambox". Then again, I would go crazy for a proper support on the XB1.

It's been confirmed that they will have day 1 digital downloads.

In terms of discs -- they are still needed since one, it keeps the retail stores happy, and two, not everyone has a good enough internet connection in which they would be able to download full games in a reasonable amount of time.
 

It was never announced as a Kinect only game, it was always called a hybrid and was originally set up by Microsoft to lead the second wave of Kinect, controller based games with Kinect integration where it makes sense. Even the very first reports say you walked around in a traditional way and used Kinect for melee combat.

Yes, it's the bet feature for me. Buy the game online the night before, come home from work, sit down and say "Games" and my whole library is sitting there waiting for me. and they will all be in a save state too I believe, which will be pretty awesome.

The Lost Odyssey rumor would make my day, I really liked the first one, though it had some boring moments. Still one of my favorite Jrpgs.
 
Would be great if the conference opened up with Mattrick coming out and saying. "Everything you see from this point on is exclusive to Xbox"

A nice callback to past E3's and 90 minutes of only exclusives would be pretty damn cool.
 
For the record... I haven't heard a single person in the industry mention the X1 as steambox rumor. And it doesn't make sense for a variety of different reasons.


The only thing Steam on the X1 would do for MS is increase the install base... which they don't make dick for profits on. What it would also do is cut down significantly on the profits that MS makes with their own store. Putting a competing store on your platform would be awesome for us... but makes no sense for them. Even if they got a cut of it, which of course they would, it still wouldn't make any sense.


Steam is an amazing platform and makes Valve serious money... but valve it's not the level of Sony/MS/Nintendo (when things are going well). The pc market is growing - where consoles seem to be shrinking... but consoles still sell WAYYYYYYY more software. There's simply no reason to add valve to the mix.

Yeah I'm going only digital when X1 comes out. Its a big deal since I hate physical media and wasted space. I thought you disappeared from here.

Have you heard something about prices? I mean, digital distribution, second hand controlled, more money for publishers... we need lower prices xD
 
My Body is ready for E3. So what is the gif for one more day going to be? I can't wait to see! :P You guys rock and keep the hope and hype going! Seriously Crackdown has to be announced its like my most hyped thing since I know alan wake 2 isn't happening yet. LO2 would be awesome though or even Blue Dragon 2.

None of those will happen aside from maybe Crackdown. MS has completely abandoned and alienated Mistwalker and those guys now focus on Nintendo products. Loved LO though, best story in an RPG in a very long time.

Why Remedy is sticking with MS after not approving AW 2 is beyond me. My favorite game this gen.

Well they could announce them all and I'd still have to pass since I can't condone the console's philosophies toward gamers and privacy.

Lost Odyssey can happen even without Mistwalker. Microsoft has now a new Japanese studio.

Maybe Remedy requested a new IP, they created Alan Wake, the DLCs, the Xbox Live Arcade Alan Wake game, the PC version... a lot of Alan Wake for Remedy.

Never going to happen, aside from periodic sales like we already see.

I'm not sure about it.

Not yet. I would guess the idea is to bring prices down to get people to buy more software... but you can't really announce that before you see how the market unfolds. If game sales continue to struggle it seems unlikely that a price break on software would be anytime soon.


But there's always that opportunity for a title that causes a sea change... AAA, $30, sells a trillion units... and then everyone follows. But now im just in hypotheticals....
 
wonder why Hix got banned...didn't see anything in the post history...sad day, I hope it's not perm :/

still in chat for people that want to test it out.

Also, it makes almost zero business sense for steam and msft to collaborate like that...idk why it's even a rumor.

Making up rumours? The LO2 post says he knew two people who said the game was being made, maybe he could not verify his sources to a mod. Making up rumours is very serious so is dealt harshly here.

Last day guys....E3 HYPE TRAIN!!!!!!
 
I feel like I might get banned. I'm paranoid guys :(

You'll be fine. If you need to, reread the forum rules, but you should be fine. Just don't troll, post obnoxious memes or call out GAF. It is okay to post in other threads, just be sensible and if you feel like people are driving you insane go take a break in OT Side.

You know, the usual stuff :)

I'm scared too lol

I'm just gonna keep myself as PC as possible. Picture perfect poster, no arguments, very selective posting.

Seems like it'd be a winner.

Being a junior in these times, it be dangerous...almost as thought it's a...danger zone?
 
After E3, those who avoided the ban hammer should proudly add a "I survived E3 2013" tag on their avatar. :D
