MS teasing a major new game announcement for Windows 10 event?

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

Considering the accuracy rating of any non-ntkrnl insiders for Xbox, they would probably have predicted all the games were cancelled and Microsoft are shutting the Xbox division.

If there is anything there, we'll know Tuesday or Wednesday, presumably.
 
Yes. So far all we know is State of Decay, Screamride and Ori were there... no idea if anything else was. Embargo up on Tuesday at 6am PT

Ah interesting. If there was an Embargo maybe they showed something new and cool. Who knows though, maybe only the games they mentioned and just don't want previews going out yet.

I'm still having trouble believing an accident like that happened. I don't get it.
It does seem really weird that somehow Major deleted 4 letters off a twitter name he was replying to, and somehow there was a twitter account with that name, and that somehow that twitter account was only following Major Nelson and Xbox.

Someone could have seen it and made the account quickly? Who knows

Major Nelson does, believe

I don't know how Twitter works but someone had the name Be ready and soon as their handle that Major accidentally tweeted or is it possible that someone made the account after seeing that, would they still show up on tweet?
 

About to play ScreamRide, State of Decay: Year One Survival Edition, and Ori & the Blind Forest at an Xbox event. Very stoked for these!

I want to play SoD Year 1 SE too....

iirc, a bunch of new MS studios were uncovered a while back. Perhaps one of them is making a PC/multiplat game that will debute at this event?

Slow down folks...here is what happened.

@thevowel (who I work w/) tweeted this:
https://twitter.com/thevowel/status/555807482484781056

Then @pcedfeldt tweeted this as a response:

https://twitter.com/pcedfeldt/status/555809964845830144

I tweeted ":)" since it would be funny if @thevowel could not remember my name (see above tweet)

but Tweetdeck (or my own stupidity) did not reply to that tweet thread.

AND thus this thread was spun up.

I removed that tweet and replied with proper context here https://twitter.com/majornelson/status/555828331694657537

So that's it. No hidden meaning here, there or anywhere.

Quick fact check: I never followed that account.

I feel like you owe us some sort of announcement after all this excitement, Larry.

Yeah I know Major we figured that out. It was just hilarious / crazy odds that the one you actually wrote back to looked like an account that was designed to hype up an announcement. It was just a hilarious coincidence.

PFFFFT, Nice damage control Major. We all know the truth. MS secured DS3 exclusivity for the sole purpose of ending NeoGAF.
 
When Nelson tweeted at first, it probably didn't link to an account. Someone probably made it when they noticed to start this false hype.

AH that actually makes a ton of sense, and why the account looked like it was designed to start the Hype Train with stuff like "Be Ready" and Soon. Makes perfect sense.
 
I had to delete your name from the invitation list. I had the reasonable fear you would hurt that engineers because of that screenshot thing.

Hey man, that's just not cool. I wouldn't have hurt them....too bad.

Maybe some harsh words, maybe some nipple pinching, but really, what's a little nipple pinching between friends?
 
What the Major is saying adds up. When I first saw the tweet from him it didn't go to an account. It seems somebody made an account after seeing the typo in the tweet to try and generate fake hype.

I know this is a bit late, but it seems like that's exactly what happened. According to the Google cache snapshot at 8:15 pm (GMT), Major Nelson posted the tweet 41 minutes prior (7:34 pm). And according to this website the Twitter account was created today at 7:39 PM, 5 minutes after Nelson's tweet. So it seems like someone just wanted to have a little fun.
