MS teasing a major new game announcement for Windows 10 event?
- Thread starter The Shogun
- Start date
And nothing else?
Shenmue, obviously
In case you couldn't sense the sarcasm, I'm about as far from an insider as you can get.
Holy shit, what are the chances? I'm actually impressed if that's the case.

I'm still curious what pcedf is about.
You have no idea
I really don't. I'm going to have to look up how to access the DLC one of these days.
yeah it needs to be updated.

haha yep what are the odds that Nelson would tweet to something with PC in the handle with just a smily face, just so happened to look like a hype account with what it said, had what looked like a teaser image as its header, and that only followed Nelson / Xbox.
It was like a perfect storm of coincidences lol.

But that's what a real insider would say.
That's what they want you to think, then they'll drop the megaton that they bought From Software.
Yeah, this was incredible to watch.

Seems like a bit too much of a coincidence to me...

I still don't understand how any of this warranted "major new game announcement." Should have been "MS teasing 'something' for W10 event"

The mistake was to believe MS would do anything interesting when it came PC gaming....
It's still curious though... I'm not convinced this is just some random person's Twitter account.

am I getting it right if I assumed that this turned into nothing
or is there something that is about to be announced?
Yeah no idea how you can mess up a reply this way on twitter.

Read my post above. Basically a typo from Nelson that went to an account that looked exactly like a hype account. Its pretty incredible the odds of something like that happening but it looks like it did.

Indeed, and the timing is very peculiar. However... Maybe a coincidence is all it really is. We'll see.

Um easily?
1. MS has a huge Windows 10 event on January 21st. Xbox is supposed to make a big appearance including Phil Spencer being there and the Windows team wearing shirts that say Xbox on them.
2. This account look straight up like a hype account.
3. Major Nelson tweeted a smiley face at the account.
4. The account only followed Nelson / Xbox
5. The banner image looked like teaser art.
Its not really that hard to figure out how we got here.

Sony own Demon Souls so... not likely
Edit: Damn you people for not posting more

I think someone just got cute and made a Twitter account with that handle after seeing that Major messed up.

Major replied to @pcedfeldt
The mistake account is called @pcedf
@pcedfeldt
The mistake account follows only 2 people. Major Nelson and Xbox.
The mistake account only has 1 tweet and it was made 1 hour ago.
The account was most likely made today.
In conclusion, today Major Nelson accidentally tweeted to someone who has the same first 5 letters of who he intended. This person also made their account today and happens to only follow Major Nelson and Xbox.
Sony own Demon Souls so... not likely
It was the opposite of a serious guess. ;P
Entirely possible.
Otherwise... seems too convenient almost. We'll see. I doubt there will be any game announcements next week.

Yep, and that new account just so happened to look exactly like a hype account. Hilarious odds but hey, this stuff happens lol

How would he make that typo? When you reply to someone their twitter handle is pulled automatically...

An account made today would be the perfect way to tease something. Its not really all that complicated.......
Yeah. But in the history the guy from press play just got thrown in randomly. Smells like a setup

I still want to know what happened at that Xbox event yesterday. Wish we had some insiders with knowledge on that.
