Unfortunately Yooka Layle's meh reception probably made microsoft even wearier of doing a banjo sequel. I don't really know why people were expecting it outside of just joking

That's a 4....

Making me think of a monkees song

It's only a 4 if you have bad eyesight :p

Seriously though, I hope we see a new platformer from Microsoft....please MS.

It's a crowd-sourced "ok" game, something from the big three and actually being a "good/great" game would help anything released. I think those that loved Banjo/Rare would flock to a new BK game. It HAS to be done right though.

So, after reading the latest Halo Waypoint post last night I don't think Halo Wars 2 DLC is going to be shown during the show. The post said halo wars 2 fans will wanna tune in to the live at e3 show for exclusive halo wars 2 news.

With the briefing now being 2 hours long, I'd expect it to show up there. Maybe the next DLC leader gets announced on the show floor but the conference should have the story DLC.

The game, should it be real and announced at E3, would likely of been in production before the reception of Yooka Layle and besides, why not look to do better job than that game anyway?

If they were going to do a Banjo sequel they've would've started it back after the Kickstarter was so successful not when Yooka dropped so it'd have been too late to back out then. I don't expect a sequel either but I doubt they waited to see how it reviewed before, hypothetically, deciding to start the project.

That's the point, they never started anything. But waiting to see how Yooka Layle would fare could change their minds for the future. And then Yooka Layle releases and everyone bashes it for being "too oldschool", "collect-a-thons don't work anymore" "annoying voices" and etcetera. It was a pipe dream before, now its just a ressounding "not happening".

So we know Halo Gravemind is fake (confirmed by Frank O'Connor from 343).

Do we know for sure that Rare is only showing Sea of Thieves at E3? That's been 100% confirmed by Rare executives?

Did Turtle Beach just confirm new Wireless Tech on the Scorpio?

- http://www.turtlebeach.com/en-us/stealth600-700

"The STEALTH 700 & 600 will be the first two officially licensed headsets for Xbox One available at retail using Microsoft's new Xbox Wireless technology to connect directly to your console, just like your wireless controller does. No wires, no base station, no adapter needed. Just turn-on your headset and start playing"

I'm sorry if old, and I don't own a Xbox one/S

Edit:

"The STEALTH 700 & 600 headsets on Xbox One use Microsoft's new Windows Sonic for Headphones to deliver immersive virtual surround sound for your games, movies and music."

Eurogamer/DF got a scoop a while ago, confirmed another headset company is making a wireless headset as well; due out in the fall. I didn't see much mention of it on this forum or maybe just missed it, but I couldn't have made a thread either way because forever a junior.

New headset pairs with an Xbox One just like a controller

Alright, I was able to get it done like I said I would try to do. I think I added all requests up till now. Whew.

I know the perspective of the avatars is off a bit but I will have to lean how to fix that tomorrow.

Man, I never realize till I started doing this how many of you names I recognize just from your avatars.

Whew, omorrow should go smoother "knock on weed." There can't be that many much more of you left can there? Lawd.

Anyway, I'm my eyes are tired and my head is nodding. I'mma go to bed now. See you all tomorrow! Hope you enjoy.

Two things:

a) Please stop by and let me get on board on the hype train
b) Which City actually used those type of futuristic styled inner city trains?

The rhymes that were tweeted, were they classically banjo or could they have been like pirates singing for SoT. Don't really know much about the rhyming and banjo connection.

If all the rumours are getting turned down as fake must have a few surprises to show to fill up a 90min+ presentation.

Figured you were joking ;)

Good song, I don't know if I'll get around to Crash on PS4 before it's out on X1. Might wait and see if there's a Scorpio version for kicks.

Rare employees are acting like they may have something else....and Microsoft is running their show longer to "fit some more games in".

It's not 2 hours long is it? Just longer than 90 min. That could mean 100 min, or even 95 min.

I think Phil just tweted that out in part because Xbox's shows were usually televised and on strict timeframes

Does the first hype train still exist, or did we switch trains and I missed it? Fuck... I'm gonna end up at a completely different conference aren't I?

That Chinese Sign References meant nothing after all?

Dog (Wolf): Dilate Teaser
Horse: Gasp Teaser
Goat : Gasp Teaser
Tiger (Lion): Goosebumps Teaser
Ox (Bull): Vein Teaser
Rat:
Rabbit:
Dragon:
Snake:
Monkey:
Rooster:
Pig:

Aside from the Dragon, Snake and Monkey I can't see any other animal being able to represent power. It was interesting that a pattern seemed to emerged from those, but I think it was all a coincidence. For some time I thought that the Snake would be related to the name because of the S (Snake, Serpent) but that seem sway off now.
