MS and Sony are gonna be like two divorced parents, fighting for our love. MS, if you open with Kinect, I'm gonna be staying with Sony for a while.
I can't wait to see what they have to show.

 

[Ashler]

Like I said on the other thread on the April announcement rumour, there is no way that MS can wait until April to respond.

 

[Hanmik]

This will be more important to the industry than Sony's or Nintendo's conferences. Microsoft has a huge advantage going into next gen, so this event has to be big for them.

huge advantage,..? please elaborate..?

 

[Kazuma Kiryu]

but gaf told me microsoft had this planned all along.

 

[VE3TRO]

I'm more interested now to see what Microsoft has after the PS4 reveal. If this happens in the next 4-6 weeks they must be quite confident with the new Xbox and it's features including games for 1st/3rd parties.

In regards to the leaks how accurate was the PS4 specs to what we've seen over the last month?

 

[Kerub]

Oh yeah, time to see me some Alan Wake!

Kinect only, on rails? That's what gamers want right?

 

[EscoBlades]

Hell yeah, let's get this started

DALE!

 

[ekim]

Will the author for onlysp.com please stand up?

 

[Gemüsepizza]

They registered the old URL 3 months before E3, that could mean it won't be that soon.

 

[shandy706]

Is anyone else less hyped about MS's unveiling of Durango? After PS4, I just don't have it in me.

It will be a much better event. So don't worry.

 

[AirBrian]

Internet ninja hunters. Very impressive.

 

[Globox_82]

Yeah, this is reactionary to Sony.

People keep saying they've planned this months in advance are probably right to some degree but I really think they are feeling the pinch now.

We are in for interesting times.

well arron greeberg said on his twitter that he gave Sony event 6/10 like 100 times over and over, so you know he is an expert....MS will be 11/10....if you ask him and his minions on twitter...

 

[shinobi602]

I find it hilarious that Microsoft decided to respond now. Really MS? What the fuck are you waiting for?

 

[Bungie's]

They should unveil the actual console before Sony does.

 

[PIMPBYBLUD]

Said it in the other two threads:

Oh shit I forgot that Gears of War: Judgement comes out on March 19th. So to me I'm guessing we could see an announcement for the event as early as a week from that game's launch. Microsoft seems pretty savvy about not having any overlap in product announcements and releases so I think it's pretty safe to say we won't see anything before the 19th.

To go into more detail, I bet we're going to see a few surprises from third parties. Possibly Call of Duty X or Battlefield 4, The Walking Dead Season 2, a new Mass Effect or Dragon Age, GTA V, and a few other third party games.

Why would any of these be surprises...They need to show new IP's not rehashed shit.

 

[Leflus]

This is long overdue. I'm a bit worried about some of the rumours surrounding the Nextbox, but I can't wait to see the console for the first time. Crossing my fingers for some Alan Wake and PGR goodness.

My body is ready (to be recorded in realtime by Kinect 2.0).

Getting ready for the Mattrick gifs. Oh wait, he's a tool.

Why do people keep saying this?

He might not have the same level of charisma as Kaz, but he's definitely not a tool.
Take a look at his career: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don_Mattrick

The guy has a ton of experience from the videogame industry.

 

[Theonik]

I like how they registered the domain 1 day after Sony's event.

 

[Zeth]

I find it hilarious that Microsoft decided to respond now. Really MS? What the fuck are you waiting for?

It's been less than a week, no?

 

[Neko Mimi Mode]

huge advantage,..? please elaborate..?

Momentum? Infrastructure? Wads of cash? There's plenty of advantages.

I won't be buying Durango, but am hyped for this regardless.

 

[The Omega Man]

I am waiting for the amazing Microsoft gifs, it won't be an easy task to reach the level of epicness of the Hirai's gifs but I am counting on you GAF, show me the gifs!

 

[Corto]

One thing we can be sure. They'll have a case to show.

 

[shinobi602]

It's been less than a week, no?

I'm talking about the reports going around that the PS Meeting caught MS off guard, and now this just being registered. I mean they're so goddamn passive about getting next gen started, it's ridiculous.

 

[bgbball31]

MS, take notes from Sony. They had very little Vita talk, you should have very little Kinect talk. As much as I know that is false hope.

 

[The Mana Legend]

huge advantage,..? please elaborate..?

The Xbox brand is stronger than the PS brand, they have the casuals and the "core" gamers, and Xbox Live is still huge.

And Microsoft isn't a complete mess of a company like Sony.

 

[MCD]

Please let the Surface team be the one behind the next Xbox hardware design.

 

[Globox_82]

MS has become smug that's all. God forbid they become kings of gaming. The amount of BS and money grabing tactics would be too much for my stomach.
I don't think they will go with banning used games, and we have sony to thank for that. Be sure that if Sony went that path MS would as well. Now when Sony clearly said NO, MS will be forced to do that as well. But like I said in othey comment, I won't be surprised if they get away with it.

Calm down everyone, there is no new Xbox. Only PS4.

 

[Globox_82]

yup, and I can't wait to see plastic shell that is so important...

 

[Elginer]

Hell yeah, let's get this started

What's with those party poopers earlier in the thread?

Sweet lord that gif is amazing. LMFAO

 

[hodgy100]

Its happening!

Time to start slapping steve balmers face on everything

Sony from PS2 to PS3 was in an even more advantageous position in terms of momentum and cash. Didn't matter. Complacency can still give room to failure.

 

[shandy706]

Sonygaf reaction:

Killzone (4) shown = "Looks amazing wow, can't wait."

Halo (5) shown = "All Microsoft shows is rehashed crap sequels!"

Final Fantasy XXXXVIII shown = "Wow, can't wait!@#!!"

Fable (4) shown = "Give up already Microsoft, nothing but sequels, ugh!"

All hypothetical of course, lol.


I'm in agreement we may not see Halo 5 though.....perhaps one of the new shooter IPs.

So you are in the US..?

 

[Elginer]

[Hindle]

All the major games will be revealed at E3. I'm expecting AW 2 and PGR 5 to be the main first party games shown.

3rd party wise, I'm thinking something from Bethesda, COD, The Withcer 3 as well.

 

[DEADEVIL]

Hell yeah, let's get this started

What's with those party poopers earlier in the thread?

Spits out coffee...

I had no idea this existed

 

[Sidewinder]

All that swag, ROFL!

 

[FrankT]

No question after that Major Nelson comment.

 

[aj1467]

Seeing as how this was mentioned but not posted...

 

[iMax]

Here we go...

 

[grkazan12]

The biggest question is if we will have another Kaz like blowout? I don't think it'll be Mattrick, but I could see a Ballmerfied? Won't match the awe inspiring Playstation Meeting Thread sadly.

 

[ekim]

I have a new avatar. Bless my mad PS skills!

 

[TokiDoki]

Thanks for the discovery . Getting hype . Itshappening.gif

 

[Metalmurphy]

Forza Horizon 2 with a fully online mmo world and a first person movement in and outside the car please!

 

[iMax]

So you are in the US..?

...or the UK. PlayStation is nothing here, compared to Xbox.
