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.

This makes me so sad though! Because I'm positive they will bring the games and I will not be able to get an Xbox because I don't have the ability
or the desire
to connect my console to the internet all the time. This is so screwed up. >:(
 
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...

You want someone to interrupt and possibly force the canceling of a conference where we are going to get to see a ton of new games, just to make a silly point about DRM?

Ya I am so tired of these things. And I am a hardcore gamer, though now a bit more on PC then consoles. But those things are bothering me.

..you think a few games are more important than your rights and being ripped off?

..fuck me, its sheep like you that lets them get away with this shit..

I can't even fathom the thought. It must just be me growing up on the PC well over 15 years ago playing games with a connection always on not even a care in the world. Never would I not want to be connected. Ever. Has my connection gone out over the years. Plenty, but over 24 hours. Just about zero. I can't make two hill a beans about it.

So that's footage from the One version? Looks no better than the 360 footage and they still seemingly haven't fleshed out the gameplay.

Gah, TP is fast becoming a one hit wonder.

Well the Title of the vid is "LocoCycle Xbox One Trailer" so I assume it's footage fro mthe XO version. And ya, it isn't fleshed out or ready yet, at least per their article; "If you’re coming to E3 be sure to stop by the Microsoft booth to play the Xbox One version of LocoCycle with us! It’s still a work-in-progress, but we’re excited to show you the game!"

people aren't sheep just because they choose to buy the games they play without sharing the cost with others or because they happen to have their house connected to the internet 24/7.

I realize you are taking this news to heart and I feel sorry you are having such a hard time. Good luck and have a great E3.

Dude go live in a country where you can't express your religious beliefs or if you're a female try living in a place where you don't have the right to choose how you dress. Hopefully then you'll understand the difference between a right and a preference. Right now you're just an angry kid screaming at the clouds. If you don't like what MS is doing fine, vote with your wallet and bitch about it. But don't come in here and start insulting people because they are not buying into your over dramatic BS. From my perspective you are the sheep jumping on the bandwagon of hate.
 
I can get behind this. I don't have Steam on current laptop tho, so if whatever is used, could be more accommodating to those who don't have steam, that'd be great.

You felt that way? Sorry man that sincerely wasn't the plan. Damn. I thought it was fun to sit through a meeting together. I didn't really associate the comments with anything bad. Damn that is frigging depressing people took it that way.
Man I am gutted by finding out people didn't have fun.

Jeez that has to be the most depressing thing yet today.

No offence bro, but I just sat there watching the torrents of spam and endless, mindless anti-Microsoft vitriol from start to finish. Rational discussion is borderline impossible in an atmosphere that thinks it's acceptable to describe a Microsoft executive as being mentally disabled for talking about Kinect.

On top of that, we got a blow-in of lurkers and banned ex-GAFers with the usual stupid Amirox hate etc. Not that any of this was your fault at all and I really appreciate you hosted it anyway, it just never served it's purpose for me.

I'd like a venue that's preferably invite only and controlled so we can actually get some good chat going about the game announcements when GAF goes down. If someone can get that going, I'm in.

Ok...maybe I am totally blind. All I read were a bunch of thank yous and no one came to me about it afterwards. I decided it wasn't cool to kick people I guess I should have.
I understand if it was making people uncomfortable. I would personally like to be able to join others so if I could go to something that you guys are doing I would love to. If not I guess I understand if people think I mishandled it.

Thank you for explaining.

I thanked you at the end too. You didn't mishandle it at all dude, just the nature of the thing. I'd be more than happy to go along to something you're hosting again, just needs to be some rules and restrictions in place (like we have here on GAF) to stop it going down the shitter.

Maybe you could change the settings on the channel or something? I don't know how it works really.

I think, it sounds like plans are in place for something else so I would rather go with the new plans than put anything else up. There are ways to change settings and I could easily kick people but I think for the E3 event the plans already set in motion are the best and in the end it facilitates the same thing that I wanted. People getting together to have fun. So I would love to go to whatever is planned!

Thanks again Hix!
 
Not sure if there's plans in place or not. Anyone got any ideas for a (closed) GAF meetup/chat during the inevitable downtime on Monday?

Steam was an idea, but some folks don't have it.
 
They have a trailer up on their website, but here it is(gameplay around the 50 second mark): http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=4gHRXK4smLc

LMFAO. That game still makes me laugh. Look way cleaner than the original WTF Xbox 360 trailer.

Looks like the first arcade game I'll buy for ONE. Hope it's not the last shown for launch. I like the whole idea of making better versions for ONE. Maybe we will get the whole upgraded and remade type string of XBLA games for the next gen.
 
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...

It would have been interesting to have some "aggregated data" ( ;) ) about them, though... like how many of them they found, since how long they created their accounts, how many posts they made,...

I think a steam group would be a really good idea.

You can never be too sure. Meant no offence by the comment by the way, was just making sure.

Looks a lot better to me than the rough 360 footage they've shown thus far.

That was to be expected though right? Even if it was only a 360 release. I guess it seems pointless to port this over to the One unless it's being used to pad out the launch line-up, which I certainly hope it isn't.

Check your PM's dude, seems there's been some confusion.
