Support NeoGAF

[FacelessSamurai]

I think they are keeping some stuff for tgs, but I am still hoping for at least 1 new unveiling at gamescom, unless MS has some crazy ID@xbox stuff worthy of that kind of hype. Also expecting new bundles for the holidays and a price drop for Europe. I still wonder if we will have some tangible stuff about Scalebound or if they'll just play the cg trailer again and keep us waiting until tgs?

 

[Ol No Bones]

No huge leaks right? We might have some legit surprises this week!

Keeping expectations low-ish. But excited none the less.

I think we will be seeing more of already announced games I don't think they will have any big announcements of new games. Still hyped but we all should probably keep the hype in check lol.

 

[THEF3AR]

Backwards compatibility. Boom. GAF goes wild.

 

[rokkerkory]

OG xbox games on demand. Do it.

 

[Chobel]

How long will this conference be? 1 hour?

 

[FacelessSamurai]

OG xbox games on demand. Do it.

This I actually really want! I've had an urge to buy an OG Xbox recently as not all of the stuff is compatible on 360 unfortunately If they do announce it however, they better have JSRF as one of the first available titles!

 

[intheinbetween]

what's the fuzz about these OG XBOX comments? any Spencer hint?

I hope not. That would be absolutely the worst strategy. Gamescom is vying for the top gameshow spot now. They should blow everything they have right now on this show. Keeping stuff for TGS when nobody in Japan even knows your console exists is dumb.

"Here let's keep these hidden gems for TGS!" Xbox sells 157 units the month after release month.

 

[Picobrain]

Bold prediction: FIFA 15 bundle for Europe (Tier 1 and Tier 2).

They've already announced that:

I really want kotor with controller support.

 

[soxinthebox]

What time is the Xbox show in Eastern Australia?

It's 8pm Tuesday Perth time so either 2 or 3 hours later than that depending on whether you have daylight savings at the moment.

 

[jwtsonga]

so can someone please post a spoiler-free gamescom thread?? Just a place with links for all 3 conferences??

Xbox Twitter tweeted this out "Xbox @ Gamescome 2014". It has a OG Xbox Logo.
I think they just need a X

10 AM PDT.

Live stream will be here apparently.

Not sure if Xbox will be streaming it themselves or not though.

Ok cool ty. I was hoping I could watch it on Xbox, maybe they will have something on the dash closer to the time.

The Live Event Player App is showing a countdown, so this should be the place.

 

[Daffy Duck]

Hope we get a Minecraft release date and some more info on it, hoping for infinite worlds.

They've already confirmed the worlds wont be infinite. Sorry man.

Exactly what I thought as well. Keep my expectation low....

Was hoping it was a change after the iPad version got infinite worlds.

 

[big_z]

with the xbox 1 and 360 logo im guessing Microsoft will announce some sort of playstation now streaming service. if they figured out real backwards compatibility though that would be a huge win.

personally im hoping they announce media playback off usb devices.

 

[Doffen]

United Arab Emirates is part of Europe?

 

[Diablohead]

Really? this is so dumb for a console which can use 5GB of ram to run games with, my sisters old laptop can do it, why can't an xbox one :/

I don't think it means anything at all. They're just hammering the nostalgia angle at the moment because they've rebranded the Xbone as a 'games first' console, and the same nostalgic marketing worked for Sony.

I'm kind of interested in seeing how Quantum Break looks. Can't say there's much else about this conference I'm interested in. Unless they've finally unshackled Rare and Lionhead and are letting them make their own decisions about what games to make. Maybe we'll see that 'not Fable' game Lionhead said they were making, if MS haven't cancelled it already.

 

[T.O.P]

Will they stream this on X1 by any chance?

 

[BananasWithGuns]

Really? this is so dumb for a console which can use 5GB of ram to run games with, my sisters old laptop can do it, why can't an xbox one :/

From my understanding it's not a RAM issue but something to do with how save file limits are handled. I'm not sure of all the details but I know it's also the primary hurdle in not having servers available to host worlds.

In any case, last I heard the world size in the XB1 and PS4 versions is going to be 36x larger than the 360/PS3 counterparts.

Dev says its Microsoft's and Sony's save file size restrictions.

 

[NemesisPrime]

Will they stream this on X1 by any chance?

They always have done so in the past.

 

[Widge]

I'll just point out that iOS and Android got updates for infinite worlds.

 

[Sendou]

Dev says its Microsoft's and Sony's save file size restrictions.

Makes sense to have such limitations in place.

 

[Wolfgang Jr]

Lol. What the shit is happening with those shadows?

 

[T.O.P]

Oh nice, never had the chance to check since i usually worked this week in the last few years

Surely that can only mean previous generation games will be coming to Xbox One. What else would it be?

 

[twobear]

Lol. What the shit is happening with those shadows?

Which shadows?

 

[In Service]

Dev says its Microsoft's and Sony's save file size restrictions.

Wasn't this due to cloud saves and limiting regular uploads from the box to the cloud to avoid an unreasonable amount of bandwith hogging? I can't find my source now but I thought that was it.

 

[ekim]

Will they stream this on X1 by any chance?

Sure. The live event player is the place to go.

 

[Steverulez]

Will they stream this on X1 by any chance?

In the OP it says what it will be streamed on. I have added the schedule as well

Huh. The thing he's holding is branded 'Monarch Industries', the company from the game.

 

[In Service]

ZOMG - he's pretending to be a zombie which means DAY-Z port via Steam confirmed for XBO, launching tonight and available for download immediately!

Spoiler

[Ape]

It must be some kind of time freeze device and Sam is doing his best bullet time impression.

 

[x-Lundz-x]

I am so excited to see what Remedy is going to be bringing with QB. My jaw is ready to be dropped Sam, don't let me down.

 

[monome]

Kinect something in Quantum Break?

Limited edition device?
