I would love to see Ballmer do this again for the Xbox event.

Nice!

No question after that Major Nelson comment.

In the UK, the non gaming press, nearly all took the piss by the non show of the PS4 at the PS4 launch especially the BBC. MS would be nuts to do like wise.

[Sidewinder]

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.

It'll be Ballmer definitely, so many different and crazy face pictures to choose from.

[miladesn]

that's a nice find. good work!

Will they reveal the price however? Save it for E3 is my guess.

[x-Lundz-x]

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

Hopefully they will have some games to show too, well besides Kinectimals 2.

[TheOddOne]

Why not use Phil Harrison? He works for Xbox EU.

:P

[RoKKeR]

"Xbox Event"

That's cute, Microsoft. So the rumors say April, but will Microsoft really wait until after GDC?

[Hanmik]

if we are doing a "microsoftication" of avatars in here.. we need to do it like the Sony ones. Make it a figurehead who isn´t going to be on stage (like KAZ lol).. I´m nomitating Bill Gates..!

[ekim]

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

oh god! please yes!

[Impeccable]

Sonygaf reaction:

It's going to be good when people have to get that 'dig' in first to look like "lol told u sold".

Let's do this MS, let's make GAF explode with the rage of a thousand fanboys from all walks of console life!

[aj1467]

So who wants to have their avatar Don-ified?

Yes please.

[Spider_Jerusalem]

They should, he's pretty good on stage.

[Doffen]

My avatar is already Ballmer'fied.

[shinobi602]

;)

[Zen_Arcade]

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

If their 4 new IPs don't deliver between this presentation and E3 my hype level for Xbox will be next to zero.

[statham]

Here we go...

[hwy_61]

How in the hell do you find this stuff out, OP?! That's some real P.I. shit right there.

[Hanmik]

My avatar is already Ballmer'fied.

I thought that was the old QuanticDreams guy..

[Kerub]

Wait, am I supposed to have Ballmer or Mattrick on my avatar?

[stktt]

I like how we assume registering a domain is a sign of laziness, complacency, and greed.

Wait, am I supposed to have Ballmer or Mattrick on my avatar?

Yes.

[iceatcs]

Looking forward 16 cores, 16GB RAM and holographic versatile disc rumours.

[Community Forum]

I hope we see some fresh new faces on stage... totally sick of Mattrick & Co.

[Corto]

Will they reveal the price however? Save it for E3 is my guess.

That would be the biggest possible surprise for me, honestly. I think they'll both wait for E3 to announce at the same event without leaving room to the opponent to make final hour adjustments. Not that I expect great price differences on the hardware, but in terms of services they will offer very different models of business and pricing.

[Jtyettis]

Wait, am I supposed to have Ballmer or Mattrick on my avatar?

Don't know. Always loved the Mattrick grinning ear to ear gif.

[grkazan12]

Wait I heard Mattrick actually developed games back in the Atari days. I'm I getting that right?

[Kyoufu]

If Microsoft shows Kinect in any form my hype levels will be very low for the system. They need to focus on games for core gamers or I'll be disappointed.

Please don't pack Kinect in with the system.

do we know who is going first on stage at E3 2013 yet..?

[Loch Doun]

Let's do this thing! WOO HYPETRAIN!! WHO'S WITH ME!?

haha I might just Mattri-fy my avatar soon

I bet the services both consoles will offer will be very similar as will the pricing structure.

Kudo Tsunoda. BAM

[ekim]

I explained myself on page 2 I think. :P

[Agent Ironside]

Meh, the only thing I have feels for is Alan Wake and PGR. I can't see the MS conference being too exciting. Prove me wrong MS. PROVE ME.

[PhatSaqs]

360 pricing wasnt revealed until well after E3 if I remember correctly. I think August. Be interesting if they follow a similar model.

[Pug]

Of course they are going to show the new kinect, just like Sony showed their camera system.

[Elginer]

Can someone Mattrickfy my avatar please? Would be appreciated ^_^

[i-Lo]

Excited to see what they bring to the table in terms of new IPs.

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

Oh and now paging you as well. Such conviction, lol.

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.

Yes, it's predictable.

But one thing that wasn't predictable is the "GDDR5 isn't good for gamers" talk from Xboxgaf.

Let's see what they will say if MS change Durango's memory type.

[Persona86]

Meh, the only thing I have feels for is Alan Wake and PGR. I can't see the MS conference being too exciting. Prove me wrong MS. PROVE ME.

There MIGHT be games that will also be released on PS4 there, that definitely has my interest, since I know I'm getting a PS4, and if they convince me to buy the next xbox, well that's a nice bonus. so I'm hyped.

[Leflus]

Wait I heard Mattrick actually developed games back in the Atari days. I'm I getting that right?

Apple II, Commodore 64 and PC-DOS:

Mattrick founded DSI in 1982 at the age of 17 by personally developing games like Evolution[12] and Test Drive for the Apple II, Comodore 64, and PC-DOS

[Hanmik]

I explained myself on page 2 I think. :P

you call yourself a DETECTIVE..? if you dig on THIS site, there is a "100 post per page" option.. tsk..

[Kyoufu]

Of course they are going to show the new kinect, just like Sony showed their camera system.

Sony showed the peripheral but their focus was on core games without any demonstration or even mention of camera functionality.

At least I hope MS doesn't build their games around the Kinect or I'll be wary.

[Corto]

I bet the services both consoles will offer will be very similar as will the pricing structure.

If the rumored Cable deals are true Microsoft will have a heavy subsidized option tied to your TV cable bill, that Sony won't be able to directly compete with. That was what I had in mind with that post.

[hwy_61]

I explained myself on page 2 I think. :P

You should be writing for the NY Tines, or something. Good find!

[grkazan12]

Also anyone who thinks that they're not going to show kinect even for a little bit is crazy. Their making it essential in at least the system UI section of the console and they're implementing some substantial hardware improvements in the kinect. I'm not the biggest fan of it, but keeping the talk to a minimum is the best we could hope for at this point.

[shandy706]

Yes, it's predictable. But one thing that wasn't predictable is the "GDDR5 isn't good for gamers" talk from Xboxgaf. Let's see what they will say if MS change Durango's memory type.

Haha, arguing GDDR5 is not good is stupid.

I also see an explosion of "not interested/hype gone/not buying" if Kinect is flashed on the screen for more than 1/1000th of a millisecond. (from people that wouldn't buy anyway of course)

[Comet]

About the only thing MS could do to get me somewhat interested at this point is by showing off some nice, fresh, new IPs. If they start off by talking about Kinect, or show some new next-gen games being played with Kinect instead of a standard controller, I am so out.

[iMax]

Wait I heard Mattrick actually developed games back in the Atari days. I'm I getting that right?

Yep, he actually designed and programmed the original Test Drive.
