About the 360:

Duuuuuuuude, osum.


Some one should ask him, however, if any of those are multiplat in any way, just to make sure. Also ask him if the 360 will get any exclusives the One will not (at least not right away). Heck, someone should ask him if Halo 4 will get a re-release on the One.
 
I don't like the fact that it seemingly had nothing to do with Fantasia based on the trailer.

Hopes were dashed with that trailer. If it's not representative of the game, they should have a done better job with the debut trailer.

Isn't the whole idea of Fantasia that they're bringing music to life through physical movement/magic? I haven't seen the movies in a few years, but that's what I remember.
 
yep... haters trolls will stop listening even if 10 games are shown if any online verification or used games only traded at gamestop is announced and start making 50 threads about how they hate what they are doing with a machine they were never going to buy any way


after GAF comes back up


I hope they announce their DRM plan this week just to get that shit out of the way so we can talk about the games... but I'm thinking 8-10 is what we will see

Also, I really can't wait to see what they have planned, because these games like Fable: Anniversary, Fantasia, and Halo: Spartan Assault would usually be nice bonus announcements for a press conference. Not huge megatons, but nice announcements. I'm really curious to see what the show entails if they're putting this stuff out there a week early already.

I wonder if they will announce even more games before E3.

The original idea was to merge classical music with animation, which had never been done before. But the most iconic moment was the Sorcerer's Apprentice, where Mickey Mouse did cast magic spells with ample movements indeed. (the second most iconic moment would be the dancing hippos :P )

Ah, yes! I remember that. I hope they do have some classical music in there as well, but I still think I have a general understanding of what they're doing with it.
 
Perfect (realistic) press conference for them would be

0 - 10 - COD (It's gonna be there, might as well get it out of the way at the start)10 - 20 - X360 - Redesign, OS Overhaul & Price cut, games
20 - 25 - Halo SA for Windows 8/Phone, lead it in to Smartglass
25 - 40 - The OS & XBL (the parts that interest gamers)
40 - 90 - Xbox One GAMES!

I don't think COD will be at the MS conference at all. They had their 15 mintues at the reveal event, plus on Sunday, there will be a live 30 minute demo of CoD: Ghosts.

Activision plans to stream a pre-E3 live show the Sunday morning before E3 kicks off to highlight new details about Call of Duty: Ghosts, the publisher announced today.

Geoff Keighley and Justine Ezarik will host the 30-minute show whiich will be broadcast on Callofduty.com, Xbox's Machinima app and other "online destinations" on Sunday, June 9, at 11 a.m. PT, 2 p.m. ET. The broadcast will feature "an exclusive first look at gameplay levels," according to the blog post on the official Call of Duty website.

Yep.

All is forgiven if there's classical music and they have those sequences in game. At the moment tho, it's not in my good graces.

Show me something Harmonix/MS that resembles the Fantasia I know and love and we'll be back on good terms.
 
A dream, that give me chills, is MS bringing all OG Xbox classics back to One, in my particular, Crimson Skies and Phantom Dust, but many any others, Blinx, Voodoo Vince, Conker, Kung Fu Chaos, Panzer Dragon, Jet Set Radio, GunValkyrie, and much more could come as great, and I should die in peace.
 
Okay, does Fantasia sound potentially amazing to anyone else (especially on Kinect 2.0)?

Harmonix (Dance Central + DC2, so they know what they're doing) + their games on Kinect were super-fun and moderately accurate (just think what they'll be able to do with Kinect 2.0) + Fantasia/Disney = To me, that sounds like a hell of a lot of fun, just like Dance Central did.

I know, I'm supposed to hate it because it's not a "CORE GAME" or that it's a Kinect title, but this looks like it'd be a blast with friends.

EDIT: I didn't even look at the Youtube like/dislike bar. Wow, so many children on the internet. Oh well, good thing this is aimed to way more people than just them.

I was saying in the other thread that it's a great build onto those early experiments with the Kinect where people were hooking it up to Abelton and making music and sounds by moving their body.

And it's Harmonix who have a great mastery of making the Kinect purr. Within my friends even the biggest critics of Kinect who I invited round to mine could not reist Dance Central.

I'll certainly be interested in this as an Xbox One game if I get one.
 
Aren't MS funding it?

It is a Disney game:

Harmonix is teaming up with Disney to develop Fantasia: Music Evolved, a new motion-driven audio game for Kinect on both Xbox One and Xbox 360. It's not an overt adaptation of the 1940s feature film, but a contemporary, interactive take on Fantasia's evocative melding of music and visual artistry. Nix "Night on Bald Mountain" for Bruno Mars and you're halfway there.

What's interesting to me is that if MS had no say in whether it's exclusive, I wonder what that means for the PS4 Kinect-esque Eye? Will we see a port to the PS4 at some point? Does Harmonix have a PS4 dev kit and is able to try the Eye out and see how it compares to Kinect?

The game looks interesting, but I definitely want to see some actual gameplay. I loved Dance Central and Child of Eden. If this game is a mix of those, along with being in the Fantasia universe, I'm sold.
 
I'm only a Junior around these here parts so I can't create a new thread with this article detailing the latest shmooze efforts between MS and Hollywood for the XBox One to get more TV on the console:

http://www.deadline.com/2013/06/microsoft-chiefs-urge-tv-execs-produce-xbox-one/


EXCLUSIVE: Deadline has learned the meetings were an intimate preview of next week’s E3 confab where secretive Microsoft will unveil details of the device’s new technology. Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer was escorted by his entertainment studios president Nancy Tellem on the Hollywood visit late last week to lobby her former boss CBS chief Les Moonves, WME co-CEOS Ari Emanuel and Patrick Whitesell, and other bigwigs in the TV business about the new Xbox One. It’s all part of their effort to drum up exclusive content for it after Microsoft intends to launch 40+ new voice-controlled customized TV and entertainment apps on Xbox.

Deadline has learned that Ballmer touted “what we could do with” the Xbox One in sports, music, reality and scripted programming, promising execs that they’d see more sophisticated technology and that his company “doesn’t want to be a cable channel”. Ballmer’s trip to Hollywood will only anger more hard-core gamers who already were miffed by Microsoft’s focus on entertainment when it unveiled the product on May 21. (Xbox One will be on store shelves later this year).

The hard-core gamers fear Microsoft sees its new Xbox One more as a souped-up Internet-connected, voice- and motion-controlled cable box than a next-gen gaming console. Tellem has said Microsoft has studios in Los Angeles, London, Seattle and Vancouver producing content that merges “the story-telling magic of TV with the interactive power of the Xbox One.”

More recently, Microsoft said Steven Spielberg will create a new live-action TV show based on the Halo game franchise. Microsoft also announced a new partnership with the NFL that promises side-by-side integration of a viewer’s fantasy football stats with live game broadcasts. And the company also set a partnership with ESPN for broadcasts of other sports.

This isn’t the first time Microsoft has tried to entice Hollywood with the Xbox. Peter Chernin for one discussed producing Conan O’Brien’s talk show on the platform when the host was booted from NBC’s The Tonight Show. Hollywood’s big problem with Microsoft: it moves slowly. The Xbox One was designed to establish its primacy in the industry-wide effort to develop a single box that can handle all of a home’s entertainment needs. But company watchers have had mixed reactions to the Xbox One.

Turnoffs include the expected high price (rumored at as much as $499), the possibility that it won’t play certain used games without an additional payment, and a suspicion that it take liberties with users’ privacy for example by reporting whether a TV viewer watched certain commercials.

Fixed. :)

The E3 thread is kinda about games... Let's not derail it with this TV business. I'd understand if it had a direct connection to some kind of game, like Quantum Break does, but this isn't one of those cases.
 
Phantom Dust HD with a dedicated MP server on the cloud. Boom.

Phantom Dust has a good setting, nice character design, awesome gameplay idea, good multiplayer and graphics, was just missing variety of places and a more compelling history, it's not hard to make and it be dat nuke next gen!

I was just thinking that re releasing those games as HD remakes would be a great way to test the water for a possible next gen installment.

Great article.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again. If MS can make geeky TV shows and movies that excites me as a gamer, I'm all in. Halo and Quantum Break are a great start. Can't wait to see more footage of them. Obviously discussing TV and Movies on a gaming forum doesn't tend to get a good response, but I'm still excited for this new effort. I thought Forward Unto Dawn (Halo movie, on Netflix) was fantastic.

I anticipate a lot of hate to Xbox One if someone create the thread.

It sounds like they want to bring a lot of exclusive TV and gaming content, and they have the resources to easily do that.

You know what would be a megaton? So, Netflix just started Arrested Development back up, but what's like the one other show that everyone wants to see return? A show that was left on a cliff-hanger. It would be a show where the creator would need like total creative control, and a lot of funds to do so. A show that the regular networks would be too afraid to take on. Definitely not traditional. A show that has been imitated and has been paid homage to in television, music, movies, and even games.

Yeah let's just leave that one alone :P

Honestly, any Xbox One thread that isn't game related (and most game related ones) will probably go to crap pretty quickly right now.
