People were banned for using that gif (the original) because
of implied spoilers
GAF is a minefield already and E3 hasn't even started
OT: I always enjoy E3 roundtables so sadly there's none like it from MSoft. It was a roundtable where the hallowed Chris Remo delivered the holy message of Pikmin 3 to us.

They seem scared of "games journalism"

Maybe they're so confident that they will present all the answers during their conference that they feel a question session would be redundant?
(lol)

How do you spoil a television series based on a book lolPeople were banned for using that gif (the original) because. You used the altered one with Mattrick and Kaz but beware. Not sure how heavy the mods are on the use of this one.of implied spoilers

Lots of people never even heard about the book before the series started, including myself.

You should go into OT and see the minefield in the threads committed to the TV show just after it aired. GAF is heavy on spoilers. I got chewed out yesterday for speculating in the Last of Us TV-spot thread. Beware what you post.

Lmao.
Funny gif, but I have to question the reasoning behind complaining about a lack of BC. It's not like Sony are offering any kind of BC at launch and their promises of Gaikai being used to fill that gap have yet to be detailed or proven to be a viable method for BC.

There were a lot of casualties in that thread. It was an eye opener!

I wonder if microsoft anticipated the reception will be this much of a disaster for the x1? I mean, I was really excited for it, but it's very rarely you see a company just go up there when it's time to shine and just flat out say all the wrong things and talk about shit that the people that were just shaking with excitement and marked your shitty conference on their calendar couldn't possibly care less about.

This seems the most appropriate place atm for questions about MS and their advertising. Have any of their adverts stated 'requires internet connection'?
Only reason I ask is that I was warning my dad off one for my brothers and he wasn't aware of the internet connection. Basically are there going to be a lot of parents suddenly complaining that little Timmy's games don't work and they had no idea the internet was needed.

The advertisements are going to HAVE to state that in the UK, otherwise OFCOM will ban them outright.

That's what I'm thinking. I've seen two/three televised adverts so far for XBone and haven't seen any any mention of it.
Probably because it isn't out yet. Once it's out, and the issue is known, there will be a shitstorm here in the UK from the public, retail and Ofcom alike.
Having worked games retail for five years prior to now, I know that the anti used games and anti lending DRM will piss off a LOT of people here. What's worrying is that a lot of the casual public wouldn't know about these restrictions, even after the articles in the gaming press. It's not something Microsoft is likely to publicize either, for obvious reasons.
when they get their consoles at launch, then they will know. And they will be angry.

Rethinking their information flow approach hopefully. A unified, ONE, non-contradictory message would be nice.
This. Everyone thought that Sony would have 4GB GDDR5. But they could up it to 8 like just before the conference. MS chose slower mem to get a garantueed 8GB from the start, so they had to waste silicon on ESRAM. Silicon Sony is using for a better GPU.
Wow, that gif is amazing...
Despite its gleaming exterior, cracks are starting to show on Xbox One's surface. Word on the street is that the Xbone is a disaster. The outlook for this console is grim, akin to disaster that is the Wii U. Microsoft lost sight of the audience the Xbox 360 appealed to. If there is one thing a console must excel at, its playing games! They were on top of the mountain, but now when they look out the window they see a dark cloud looming over their once enviable vista. I can only imagine what Ballmer is thinking as he broods in his office.
Probably something like "hmmm, pizza or burgers?" and/or "MAN are we gonna kill sony dead next week hahaha 5 BILLION transistors BITCH, try and top that tretton!! Fuck me I love big numbers.... also TV... I wonder if the price is right is on right now..."
The juice thickens. Are they cancelling with no reasons given lol

Now they are also canceling one-on-one interviews. What is going on?
If you're not on board with the X1 and not willing to help team X1, away with you.
I've not seen any reasons given...
Marcus Beer: "After canceling the post e3 round table for media, Microsoft are now canceling interviews? How deep a hole are they trying to dig??"
Looks like it's widespread
Now they are also canceling one-on-one interviews. What is going on?
GI.biz suggested the same earlier but I thought maybe it was a mixup. Can't believe there won't be any interviews at all (?)

If I had something to hide I'd sure as hell avoid Klepek.
This silent treatment is hilarious. It'll end up being as smart a move as running from the cops.

Polygon exclusive one-on-one, presented by Internet Explorer.
To me, if there are any interviews, this makes their content more suspect. After all, why would those interviews be allowed to proceed when so many were canceled?
Now they are also canceling one-on-one interviews. What is going on?
They dont have time to meet with plebs, they are in hollywood baby!
What the hell is going onNow they are also canceling one-on-one interviews. What is going on?

A couple other players offer full BC.
The Verge will get that exclusive before Polygon does.
It's sounding very likely that we're not going to have any details on used games/DRM until it's in reviewers' hands in 5 months.

Ha definitely.
(I know the irony of my avatar)
If the one-on-one cancellation are not universal and only for certain press like Klepek, that sounds pretty iffy.
