Pre-MTV Xbox 360 show madness

I don´t know if it´s too soon, or if with so many leaks anyone care about the actual show (in any case, you are free to ignore this, or close it if you are a mod, you can throw me eggs and rotten fruit as well).

What do you expect? Are you excited?

I think it won´t be as complete as I would want as gamer, wil be fine for a casual public, but it will let me expectating for more, and full of questions and doubts.

But I hope, wishful thinking, that it has a lot of content (the content I care: game footage, not celebrities playing, that I couldn´t care less). It´s not that I expect a show for gamers, but I´m just asking for some relevant info for us.

And about excitement, yes, I think so, every hardware presentation makes me excited, a new machine means new oportunities and I´m pretty happy with this present generation, so I´m positive about what the next one has to offer. The only thing I´m afraid is an excesive focus on Live (that is perfect for the people that enjoy it, but it´s not good in my agenda if that means less focus in single player gamers as me).
 
Just give me game footage. And i'm sure there will be some nice clear shots of the console as well.

I doubt they'll reveal anything pertaining to launch details, pricing and in-depth features tho.

Is Elijah the next Mark Hammel?
 
I'm not that excited to tell you the truth. I think it's going to be a celebrity showcase and crappy music festival for the most part. It kind of pisses me off that Microsoft is making this a pre-pre-E3 event. It sort of takes that exciting edge out of their E3 conference.

Yeah, I'm going to watch the whole thing, record it, and watch it again and again though. I'll just fast forward through the MTV inspired moments.
 
I expect there to be some features shown.. and MS will use celebrities to pimp how cool Xbox is, and how cool it is to play online with friends.. there is a stigma against playing games online as being really dorky.. I am betting MS hopes having Lil' John and Ashlee Simpson playing online and saying "wow, playing online is cooler than hot sex" will make people jump all over the Xbox Live bandwagon.

If they play their cards right, this thing will be talked about in school yards and college campuses everywhere over the next few weeks, which will start a snowball of hype that will bury anything Sony tries to start. I seriously doubt that happens, as Im sure this will come off as hopelessly lame and dorky.

This is going to be better then Spike's Videogame Awards and G4's Vixenrater combined.

If anyone cares
 
Personally, I just want to get some game footage(mainly PD0) and some solid details on price, etc. Sadly, most of it is going to be like the Frodo skit.
 
Call me jaded, but I expect NOTHING will be said in terms of pricing or specs or whether it has BC, etc. That will come at e3.

I'm hoping for some in-game visuals and general info on features - like live features, etc.

Worse case scenario - the visuals shown are cut scenes and not in-game stuff - a la the madden commercial a while back except the cut scenes are from the 360. And they might even be prerendered cut scenes, who knows.
 
Yeah, I can't wait to see how bad this is, with all the attempts to look hip and mainstream with cheesy celebrity commentary and interviews that nobody gives a fuck about. Cue the quick editing and funky camera angles backed with shitty top 40 music, totally Xbox!!!!

sums up my thoughts exactly. I doubt we'll get a clean look at screens or the hardware. someone will have to capture frames so that we'll have a chance to look at anything in detail.

I doubt it, they need to hype the system so at least I expect some clear footage of the software and with a minor degree the Hardware. but with only 30min and a lot of musical perfomance is very hard to believe.
 
I doubt something like that will be shown at this...

I expect to see a lot of FPS and thats about it...if Madden did make an appearance I would be very happy in pants,but I doubt it :| :(
 
The show is 30 minutes. what I wonder is if it will have commercials, seeing how the entire thing is one big commercial!
 
Blue Dragon is only supposed to be in the Japanese show that should be different of the rest of the world. I expect also to see Okamoto and Miziguchi new games ...
 
I'm expecting 15 minutes of musical performances, 10 minutes of celebrities trying to convince people that they are gamers, and a few shots of XBox 360 as the credits roll.

Thanks PhatSaqs
 
I'm watching and recording on Friday night (UK), but I'd appreciate anyone pointing me to a direct download for Friday morning (UK), as I'll be at work and torrents are a no-no.

cheers :)

I'd be surprised if MS didnt have one on their website pretty soon.

If they show Madden and it looks good DM will be making all of EA happy in their pants...
 
Isn't something supposed to be shown on ourcolony before the mtv thing? When is that supposed to happen?

Whoa, glad I stumbled into this thread. First I heard of it having two different times for eastern and pacific. Glad I caught that, I was going to wait until 9:30 to turn on the TV.

That just lines up with the MTV thing...I thought ourcolony people were going to get a reward at the end of this (see something first, for example..?)?

The MTV-event is in 1 day, 6 hours and 15 minutes according to Major Nelson's countdown...

Yes. There is one last challenge at OURCOLONY that we have to solve that will reveal "TRUTH". This occurs sometime tonight when we get our final challenge, I believe. Then that's it - we solve it, and we find truth :)

That'll be at least a few hours before the MTV thing.
