I don't know if a gaming convention where you will have a finite amount of time to play is the best judge of a game. That goes for both negative and positive impressions other than really obvious things (controls, grafics)

That's true, but I'm tired of being told to be excited for a game that no casual consumer has had a hands on experience with. I'm not gonna nitpick words, but I'm gonna gauge the general reaction, to see if this game is at all worth getting hyped over.

 

[ILoveBish]

I think after their last public showing for Xbox One, at Evo2k13, where the audience boo'd and heckled the microsoft people on stage to leave, they might not be doing anymore live conferences for a while. I dont blame them, their public image is so bad at this point, best to launch and hope for the best.

 

[miDnIghtEr20C]

Fine by me. I'll be sleeping when all this goes down anyways. Can't wait to wake up the next morning and visit all the sites to catch up on all the news.

 

[Miles X]

As long as all the news comes out immediately, and game footage, I don't give a rats ass, makes no difference to anyone.

 

[ChiliManiac]

Why would this indicate what you're saying? If what they had was impressive, they would want the most eyes on it.

They can control the information they have if it's snippets and let IGN or Gametrailers do the work for them. They don't need a huge live stream if the presentation is going to be short. I mean, don't get me wrong I want a presentation too but this isn't that bad.

 

[SJRB]

If E3 is anything to go by, GAF will 404 for two days.

 

[Zatoichi's Cane]

Streaming is probably not the way to do it because it will be like watching a party that you’re not at

Nooooooo, this can't possibly be the best bullshit they could come up with. I refuse to believe it.

 

[Maximilian Kolbe]

Well we know it's November. I meant an actual date. Seemed Gamescom was the last big event they would announce it at, but so far all signs point to them barely having any presence other than showfloor for the public.

MS are going to TGS

 

[Derrick01]

Nooooooo, this can't possibly be the best bullshit they could come up with. I refuse to believe it.

That quote's going to go with Thief's "We took jumping out because it hurt the immersion" as the most ridiculous of the year for sure. And we still have 4 months left!

 

[Slayer-33]

Nooooooo, this can't possibly be the best bullshit they could come up with. I refuse to believe it.

Maybe no formal presentations were prepared for audienceship.

Not sure what's going on lol

 

[Maximilian Kolbe]

Yes of course they will, same as every year.

They did not stream their event at 2011 with Resistance 3 announcement

 

[hilariousninja]

Basically a 'nothing to see here' statement

 

[Jomjom]

MS are going to TGS

Yeah but what kind of presence who knows. Japan's a tier 3 country at best right now.

 

[ypo]

Much to hide, much to hide...but don't worry there will be an 180 in a day or so.

 

[S1kkZ]

They did not stream their event at 2011 with Resistance 3 announcement

? they did. i remember seeing it (and it was gc 2010, not 2011).

 

[$h@d0w]

Sometimes I feel sorry for Major Nelson. It has to be soul crushing to be a professional shill spewing out bullshit on a daily basis.

edit: oops, Spencer said that. Fuck that guy.

Doesn't make your statement about larry any less true.

 

[Law Abiding Stranger]

MS are going to TGS

Just to tag along for FFXV AND KH III trailers.

With Tier 999 Japan for Microsoft don't expect anything.

 

[Maximilian Kolbe]

Haha, so on their party everyone will watch the Sony Live Stream! (Begins at 19:00 CET and probably lasts over an hour.)

It's one hour show

 

[KAL2006]

This is quite lame, I don't expect much, only PR for exact release date, new previews for currently announced games, Indie games, Kinect games, and finally European media features.

 

[Dead Prince]

MS are going to TGS

"this is what you COULD be playing on your Xbox One"

 

[KoopaTheCasual]

They did not stream their event at 2011 with Resistance 3 announcement

Here ya go.

 

[Rat Salad]

Maybe they dont want it streamed because they wanna keep the hookers and booz private eh? LOL. News does suck though.

 

[Maximilian Kolbe]

Yeah but what kind of presence who knows. Japan's a tier 3 country at best right now.

Go 2ch and tell Japanese to mad this word then

? they did. i remember seeing it (and it was gc 2010, not 2011).

Oh typo,should be 2010
And they didn't stream it,maybe you talking about some 320p videotaping

 

[Maximilian Kolbe]

Here ya go.

Wat?The conference is 1 hour

 

[megaspiderweb]

I think we all preety much knew Microsoft blew their load at E3 in an attempt to salvage the only market that mattered, the US market. Also i dont know how much influence these press events would have on the eventuall console financial performances, my guess is its impact would be very little because people who are Xbox fans would still opt for an Xbox one anyway

 

[KoopaTheCasual]

Wat?The conference is 1 hour

I believe 3 hours includes pre-show and all that jazz. But yes, the conference itself is only 1 hour.

 

[Maximilian Kolbe]

Well then,i just talking about conference,conference+pre-show+after show always long,i remember E3 was 5 or 4 hours including pre and after show

 

[Monsieur]

Maybe Microsoft just has nothing exciting to show. Maybe one new announcement the rest is prolly the same stuff from e3.

 

[Sol1dus]

This, combined with your avatar made me laugh way more than I should have

X)

 

[JABEE]

Here ya go.

Keighley also said it will be streamed on GameTrailers.

 

[Mentok]

at Evo2k13, where the audience boo'd and heckled the microsoft people on stage to leave

Wait, what? they actually got boo'd? What were they talking about? Since it's EVO, I'm assuming KI, but what got them boo'd?

It kind of seems they're looking at E3 and saying "Those who were going to buy an XOne are going to be excited by our news at Gamescom, and the others won't change their minds because of anything new we announce". I'm kind of curious as to what they'll have in store for TGS considering just how poorly the 360 sold there.

 

[3rdamention]

Will Sony be streaming anything?

There is 3 hours of live coverage, including the full conference, all streaming on gamescom.com

 

[funkystudent]

Maybe they will edit in the cheers instead of getting employees to do it live.

It will be like watching pre recorded wrestling!

MS dude - "And we would like to announce a new character for Killer instinct"

crowd - "oooooowwwwwWHHHAAAAAA"

Eh, if the E3 gameplay didn't excite you, the game is probably not gonna be for you. Could be wrong, tho.

 

[Dlacy13g]

I think another possibility is MS not having confidence in their ability of management to drive home their message to gamers on stage given how badly they have done in the past two opportunities this year.

Maybe the thought is deliver your message to the press and let them deliver it to their followers whom they have a good report with. Release trailers and gameplay vids, give hands on to all but keep the suits on stage talking to gamers out of the equation. Media outlets become your voice as well as any trailers, announcements and gameplay/hands on discussions and not bad delivery of stage demos/speeches from a team that has fumbled badly twice now.

Not a fan of this approach but I haven't been a fan of their approach at the reveal or e3 either.

 

[xaosslug]

they're probably gonna release an edited video afterwards, so they can have more control of their message.

 

[Dead Prince]

There's always the media to tell the truth

 

[DeviantBoi]

They'll announce next week that they will indeed stream the conference.

Just another MS 180.

 

[Paches]

There's always the media to tell the truth

There is a reason it is a "small invite only" event. They know who will spin for them.

Pretty sure people cheered for KI at E3 wasn't edited,many people was surprised
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D5hjSmftXHA

And where does it said the E3 cheers also all by the employees?

 

[chubigans]

There is a reason it is a "small invite only" event. They know who will spin for them.

"Excuse me sir, may I see your badge to get into the MS event?"
"Sure, here you go."
"You are not on the list."
"That list you have? But I can see it from here, there's only two names on it...Gies and Leadbe-"
"Get out."

 

[Maximilian Kolbe]

they're probably gonna release an edited video afterwards, so they can have more control of their message.

Are you saying MS will spend half hour to say fuck you gaf or any internet forums or Sony so the message need to be "controlled"?

 

[Krakn3Dfx]

Microsoft must have some really amazing games to reveal if they're going about it this way. Though if you want it to be 100% controlled by the PR this is another way to save face.

Must be it, yeah.

 

[m23]

Must be it, yeah.

That interview that the gif is from is just.....horrible. I laughed though, pretty hard.

 

[GribbleGrunger]

what show is this from? Edit: found it but I wish I hadn't. I hope that idiot was sacked.

 

[beast786]

MS are going to TGS

Too bad Xb1 isn't

 

[Maximilian Kolbe]

So?

they also brought Games at comic con and they also have game studios in Europe . What's your point.

XB1 is not coming to Japan this year. Look but don't touch.

 

[Zephyx]

I think XB1 will relase in JP this year as a surprise reveal at TGS. Wasn't CBOAT saying theyll launch at 14 countries?

 

[Maximilian Kolbe]

So?i'm not discussing XB1 going to Japan this year or not in this thread,and they bring XB1 and XB1 games to Japan at TGS,that's it
