'Streamlined' controller definitely makes me think the AA's are gone. It really is rather archaic to be fumbling with batteries these days.

Maybe they went with something nifty like wireless charging or a magnetic wire or something.

I would honestly hate it if they did away with removable AAs. Battery packs always suck.

now i'm actually curious about phil's statements about how important this conference is going to be.

the only things i can think of are scorpio and some window 10 x xbone software related things.

I don't think they're going to talk or show scorpio specifically, but I do think they're going to signal the changes to the platform in general terms that have been rumoured - i.e. signal a roadmap, perhaps, of an 'endless' generation, Xbox as a cross device platform, Xbox and Windows as one, the move away from the idea of one box = one software platform etc. So introducing that change - even if they don't introduce all the hardware that will come from it, like scorpio - would be important for them.

Yep. This is pretty much what they will say. The Scorpio will not be officially unveiled but it will be basically confirmed.

yeah...i actually don't expect it to be a holy shit moment in terms of a reveal. something like that would make more sense instead of some random megaton announcement we didn't see coming.

As someone that has to present stuff to an audience sometimes, I can see this having an impact unless you can work around it like Vince Zampella did this afternoon, or maybe make a light joke about "I'm here to announce something that is already announced!" but it doesn't work if a big part is already leaked.

Getting amped to present stuff that is leaked beforehand is so hard that this is the only issue I have with leaks. As a consumer I want to know stuff as soon as possible but I feel for those working on presenting tomorrow for weeks or even months.

If they cared about not leaking stuff they would have done something many many years ago. The real secrets will be locked tight, things like BC. They know most stuff can leak but keep the stuff they really want to stay quiet secret. It's that or they have a long blacklist and infinite supply of new people that don't keep the promise either.
 
How can this be the big surprise if we all knew it was coming? Lol.

Since everyone keeps repeating this open question, perhaps I should remind everyone that we only knew about the Slim early BECAUSE OF LEAKS. MS didn't announce Slim (yet). Folks are acting as if MS announced the thing once and plans to re-announce it as a surprise or something. From MS's perspective, this could very well have been a really big surprise for audiences.
 
thanks to all leakers :)

I love you guys.


Kinda interesting to guess now what didn't leak so far

I think they're selfish @@@@ers (when done at this scale) more interested in their own 5 minutes of internet fame than in respecting the hard work and attempt to generate excitement that companies invest thousands and millions in generating.

But I'm sure I'll get slated for that view and I guess I'm really talking about one person in particular right now.

Well, yes. I feel bad a bit for MS. One thing is when people get data when they crawl websites but if people spoil stuff when there is a trust relation involved, then it's just sad and yes, there is no need to leak if not for game and to reach a certain status in the community. Mind, that can cause backfire as we saw with thuway.
 
Those who don't want to see any leaks, would it really kill you to not be on neogaf for one day? You could have left after the DR4 screen shot.

You can't come here and think you'll be safe from leaks. ITS NEOGAF.

Personally I don't mind leaks for video games. Thanks for the leaks! I'll be tuning in tomorrow as I like MS conferences.

The Xbox Slim is hardly a shock. I don't think anyone is really that bothered about it, we're all very aware of what the Xbox One can do, having a slimmer version of it doesn't excite me in the slightest.

Not interested in DR4, Gears or Forza.

Looking like there's going to be no Scorpio reveal.

There's nothing in this MS conference that I find remotely interesting so far. I'm sure they will announce some kind of cross-play type thing with Windows 10 and bring Xbox to PC's and blah blah blah... meh.

Different strokes for different folks I guess. This is more important than anything else anyone has been talking about in my personal opinion.

Actually i am surprised someone didn't leak all the vids and other screens from games since all was hosted on public access MS site (talking about the screens/gifs i posted)

Sorry for the gifs/leaks i guess didn't mean to ruin it for you

EDIT: no longer access now they pulled the plug :)

I don't understand why it's a big deal to people. None of the games you leaked shots from where new surprises.
