It doesn't matter who we are, what matters is our plan.
Why?

Another guy is claiming they aren't. I just recall seeing that somewhere, but maybe that's not the case. I definitely haven't seen one in a while though.

Hype Trains are really stupid IMO.
"Hey, let's make a bunch of post asking someone to shop our avatars on a photo of a train to show how excited we are for a conference"
The thread's activity is more than enough to gauge hype levels

I'd heard the same, but I can't think of a reason why they do any harm.
In fact, upsetting miserable gits like this is a great reason for them, too.

I totally forgot all about another cool mechanic I really liked about crackdown. The way you could target vehicle tires. It had all sorts of really good ideas, but I hope they do more with it all.

Fine... I'll put together a hype train.
Give me a bit and I'll post it.
I'll devote time to it but I don't know if I can be the only conductor so any help would be appreciated.

Nothing like standing on a freeway during some downtime and just popping civvies' front tires. Watching them flip off the edge...
Man, we need some new Crackdown.

Why would a Todd Howard game not get the full funding it needs from Zenimax to happen, given the proven successes of Fallout and Elder Scrolls?

One more last crackdown video for the road. Good interview where they tell you about some promising sounding improvements to how you engage boss fights. Man, I'm hyped for the Xbox briefing.
Can't wait to see what they show.

My favorite past time was climbing up a really tall building far away and sniping enemies on the ground.

Even though I love Crackdown I never thought of it as AAA, like Halo, Fable or PGR.
More AA which we had plenty more of in the 360 days.
It's awesome that it's gotten such huge investment and loads of time in the oven.

8 GDDR5 for games, 1 shitty one for the OS
New tweet from Gregg...
"Many a rhyme now completed,
Rubbish ones have been deleted,
If their role is what you seek,
Keep watchful eye this coming week"

Gotta be for Sea of Thieves. Right?
As I mentioned much earlier in the thread, I had thought that it pertaining to Banjo. That "their role" part makes it sound like something else though. That the rhymes themselves have their own agenda. So yeah, maybe Sea of Thieves? Sunday can't get here soon enough to know for sure!
I would love to be on the train too!! All this Crackdown talk has got me rollin
This is really exciting.

I am not going to let myself get hyped for a new Banjo, I am not going to do it!

This isn't right. Standard PS4's offers a 5/3GB split games to OS. The Pro's additional 1GB enables them to liberate some of that, supposedly enabling 6GBs for games.

This is a really dumb thing to do. I expected Gregg to know his audience better than this. He should have stopped this nonsense after the very first tweet. It's generating an obviously misguided response that can only lead to disappointment.

...lacks reading comprehension.
I thought Pro had 5.5 for games and 3.5 for OS?

I wasn't accounting for the increased OS footprint, as I didn't want to bring in minor variables which Scorpio will be subject to as well. Actually just found a DigitalFoundry quote:
. So it sounds like of that additional GB they can allocate only 500MB to games, and the additional 500GB goes to OS (for 4k Dashboard, improved recording, stability, etc.)
Ah ok, sorry for the missinformation
one of his rhymes says something about making their debut soon. It can't be sea of thieves unless he's trolling us.

Can be a lot of things related to SoT. Like the debut of the first public showing at E3 (it was only a video last year). Or the debut of a limited open alpha during E3.

Alright, this is as far as I have gotten. It's late and I had to figure a few things out. Things should go faster tomorrow. I will go back and get anyone that I missed at some point after I get up and exercise. But anyone can feel free to step in as conductor if they think they could do a good job! I am by no means good at photoshop at all lol.

Pop me in as a passenger.

I really don't want to get even remotely hyped for a new Banjo but...man if they announced it that would be a "blow the roof off" level announcement for me.

I will happily rodeo the train all the way to E3. 😂

I think Banjo has more of a pull than most believe, at least in my generation (around 30 years). I've talked to numerous people who don't play much anymore, but who recognise Banjo as one of the best games ever made (and actually use it as a point why Nintendo is worthless now, for not making new Banjos...), there certainly is some potential that extends beyond big Rare fans.
Make it so.
Well just answer this: How likely is it that I will be furious over an "abysmal show" rather than "MS' best show ever" (these are the only options, I can rule out a middle ground already
)?You only have to look at well Yooka Laylee did on Kickstarter to see that there is a market out there for another Banjo game.

I think the Yooka kickstarter highlighted how big the base dedicated big Rare fans is, but Banjo should easily extend beyond this. Especially if Mayles were to do the level design again, because he is obviously one of the best level designers of the world.
