It will have a better showing than Drive Club for sure. I don't know about being the better game.
So.. gameplay? Is this something you know or are guessing? I would be fine with something as epic as the PGR3 reveal trailer TBH.

Agreed. Plus, PGR has a really strong following. Fans should be pumped just to have it back. It's always been a looker as well. I think Sonys real rebuttal will be at E3 with GT6 and the rest.
I am definitely pumped to see it resurrected. So much that I still don't believe it's coming the way they did PGR4 dirty. But if it still exists, for me anyways, it's a system seller.

And it definitely has been a technical showcase for Xbox in the past, with lots of (supported) boasting from Bizarre.

I think we'll see Forza 5 in 2014 alongside an announcement of GT6 which will release maybe in 2015, when we'll also get Horizon 2.

My source says Ryse is no longer Kinect focussed. Though, after re-watching the debut trailer I can't see how they can make a full fledged game with that theme.

I was thinking the same thing...maybe the game now is a 3rd person brawler? that would've been really interesting though I don't know if Crytek is capable of creating a decent action/brawler game to be honest. :p

Alan Wake 2, Ryse(new form), PGR with a serious multiplayer angle.

Announced as launch games! day one purchase confirmed.

Sony didn't show an exclusive like Halo, so why does MS need to do that?

Makes no sense.

Plus it's a touch too early for another Halo game (which is undoubtedly in the works). I am hoping, like Sony, they will unveil a few if not all of their 4 new IPs for a tease at least.

HAHAH

Keep on trucking.

I can see why people love this time of a generation, pre-emptive attacks all over the place in here.

Loved the sony event and PS4 games reveals.

Hope MS manages to match it or outdo it. And then sony tries harder at E3, and MS tries harder at E3. etc. etc. aka competition so I get to play great games on both systems.
 
Wow, the news are just non-stop! My god this year's E3 will be one for the ages... I expect cataclysmic bomb drops from everyone, especially the big three.

Don't forget Valve.

Yeah, E3 2013 is gonna be a blast. Maybe it'll even take over the throne from the legendary E3 2006. But GDC and this Xbox Event are first, and hopefully can they bring awesomeness as well.

And by the way, Microsoft Management Summit happens in early April. That features a lot of cloud connectivity talk. I wonder if there might be a connection. The leaked 92821757-XBox-720-9-24-Checkpoint-Draft-1 document from 2010 mentioned cloud services.

Oh I missed that. Well here we go, but it's so far away - hype is going down from the PS4 and then up again, my poor heart.

Also please no Ballmer-Avatars.

Microsoft please add same type of features to next xbox like ps4 and I might buy.

If its pushed kinect 2.0 I might not want it right away.

Alan Wake 2 being all FMV's.
I would not mind it, lol.



True. I want to see a platformer. Such stuff is maybe better saved for E3 though.

BTW... Now that Evolution Studios has shown their game...

The Lucid tease could be pointing to PGR5 afterall.

Why are Sony fanboys so salty? Sony were so desperate to show what they were working on before they even had a production nodel ready. So what? Get over it.

Sounds like you are the salty one. I'd rather be able to see the functionality of a console and hear what it can do before putting such heated emphasis on the outside look of the shell. Take it easy there warrior.

Definitely looking forward to what they will bring to the table, should be fun.

I predict Sony will have the better hardware, MS will most likely have some new software features that will blow people away.

All fanboys (definitely doesn't stop at Sony) tend to be salty regardless of console manufacturer allegiance; this really isn't nothing new at all. It has been going on for years.
 
This is most likely the 720 reveal event guys, considering the timing of it all. You know, one day after Sony's conference and everything.

For a reveal in April, it makes sense Sony would register it now in late February. After all, they registered in late March for an early June E3 event..

Sure, twist yourself into a pretzel to defend Sony no matter what, but you see, when I go back through the other threads, people wanted to see the console. So much so that they made their own mockups of what they hoped it would look like. Looks actually matter to a lot of people. Not showing it isn't a big deal at this point, and likewise being disappointed that it wasn't shown, or even mocking them for not showing it isn't the sign that someone is attacking your precious Sony for no good reason. Or do you think the press is out to get Sony as well since they commented on the very same thing? The irony of you calling someone else a warrior is too much. Just stop. This console war is going to be a long one. Pace yourself.

Yes, nothing's different this time around. You can't rib a company/console without being called a fanboy of something else. You can't have complaints without being accused of having a vendetta. There's a lot of fun to be had with new consoles, but this part of it just gets tiresome.

Too soon. I am still recovering from the Sony conference.

Sounds like we have at least a full month to recover and to speculate about who, and what, will be there.

I agree with Baconsammy.

I want to see the case/housing. So I can start planning where I am going to have them in my home theater :)

Also I want to see if the cases actually displace heat better than what we got with launch 360s and some PS3s

Isn't it going to be held in April?
I would assume that was the original gameplan. It may still be the gameplan.

Then again, with xboxevent.com being registered the DAY after the Sony PS4 reveal, it's certainly a possibility that plans have changed based on what Sony had to show.

Did anyone think that MS would allow the PS4 to be the only thing on gamers mouths for very long?


That said they really need to bring their A game.


As someone who games on PC>360>PS3>>>>>>Wii (own all of them), Sony's conference really did absolutely everything right in my opinion.


Unless MS really shows of some awesome stuff, I will be buying PS4 first. (I always intended to get both obviously)
