Halo is their biggest franchise though, it symbolises Xbox for many. I'd be surprised if we don't get a spinoff like 2 Anniversary, Wars 2, ODST 2 etc at least.

There will be surprises though. As has been stated Black Tusk's game is billed as an Xbox flagship and there's plenty for by.

The showstopper has to leave maximum impact, so either a HUGE announcement or a betrayalaton ala Final Fantasy XIII multiplatform.

Very few betrayaltons left to crossover that are worthy anyways or worth the time. Not that they couldn't secure some next gen exclusive however.

Well Insomaniac making an Xbox exclusive is kinda a betrayalaton, shame about FUSE. thatgamecompany might make something.

Obviously MS moneyhatting SE or Atlus would be awesome and amusing, but unlikely.
 
Anyone think we might see some VR stuff? Cboat did post this way back.

I never even thought of that. What happens when XBL is under maintenance, something screws up and it's out for longer than people thought? Or if it's under maintenance for 12 hours, but during that 12 hours is the only time console owner X has the ability to use the internet for whatever reason?

I would guess, and I stress this is just a guess, that since it is in a low power state, that they would choose the time when most people would be asleep and not on the console to do maintenance in those specific countries. IE, they would set a maintenance period to be around 2-5AM or something. Not like this would actually happen, but it would be pretty nice. Emergency maintenance however, like you said, kind of debunks this a bit.
 
I don't think Sony will charge for online play, other stuff sure, but they'll leave that as is. It's just a rumour still.
 
i dont know about others but im kinda happy that you can play games without the disc. and since family members can share games in some way its even better.
 
Oh wow, I didn't expect Sony to do it.

I did. Dorito Pope said Sony would be right along side Microsoft on paywalls and DRM. As ridiculous as he is, it's undeniable he's as reliable a source for this sort of thing as any.

We'll see, but I think Microsoft did the right thing putting their cards on the table before E3.

Spoke too soon fella.
 
I think I'll be avoiding gaf Monday morning, apparently Crazy Buttocks will be leaking something and I'd rather be surprised at the conference.
 
They have gone on record about Publishers and trade-ins and that rumor about online play paywall continues to pop up so we shall see.

My guess they will continue to not touch these issues until almost launch.

Could just be one of famousmortimer's rumoured games, like Dead Rising 3, Hawken, LoL or an Insomaniac exclusive.

Not sure where he stands on the totem pole of reliability these days though.

insomniac exclusive sounds good. the others ... not so much.
 
As someone who works in advertising, the email I got from MS today was kinda transparent.

"If you love gaming, this one's for you."
"By gamers. For gamers."
"...takes gaming to a whole new level."
"...simply the best gaming console we've ever made."

Can't wait to see games, games, games at the games conference for this gaming console. I guess they really are game to listening to gaming gamers.

I don't think its going to be a game. Its going to be something to do with either system (thats my hunch). Don't forget Bish's thread too exposing the astroturfers.

hope they show some apps.

I want a calender/scheduler app.
 
Old rumour and Kagari has shut it down.


Yeah, old stuff. I did ask Thuway when he heard/gave that additional info. The pricing tiers and the DRM up to pubs was never part of the original rumor.

I thought that was significant but Thuway isn't saying anything on that part that was new.

3 days
 
Christ, I'd love it if someone had the balls to get into this conference and storm the stage and unfurl some banners in protest at all this DRM bullshit...

Speaking of, did SenjutsuSage get outted or was he banned for something else?

Added to the list of fallen comrades which now vastly outnumbers we who remain.

Twisted Pixel announce LocoCycle as Xbox One launch title.

There's one. On 360 as well or XB1 only I wonder.
 
Is he actually going to do it?

Nope - He discussed it with other mods and they decided against it. They'll purge the shills silently.
And if the Xbox One Policy thread is an indication they've got their hands full - so many juniors with such blatant agendas...
