How far away is that when measured in GDDR5? And do you think Microsoft can increase that before launch?

 

[James Sawyer Ford]

E3 is actually about 2 months later, not that close.

June 11th, just barely over a month after the event.

 

[Appollowexx]

Seems a long way off. i was assuming mid-March to coincide with GDC at the end of the month.

All those next gen first looks at GDC will be PS4 only. Wouldn't think MS wants to lose out on that publicity.

 

[tajd]

A Friday?

3 day weekend

 

[gaming_noob]

How much do they charge to use one of them Cryonic tanks to freeze myself until the announcement date?

 

[rdrr gnr]

This should be a bannable meme. Nothing indicates to this being a wii type console. Only sony fanboys is trying to spread this bullshit so just STFU with this shit already.

Hey, look.

 

[ThoughtsOfSpeaking]

So it begins.

Nice idea but I think Microsoft works better as a big faceless corporation.

I don't think anyone can be hyped by Steve ballmer, no matter the gif.

 

[Taiser]

 

[m23]

Hope we get some console design.

We'll be seeing the actual hardware at the event going by what Major Nelson tweeted after the Sony event.

 

[MikeE21286]

Hope we get some console design.

I think we can safely say this will 100% happen

 

[Zombie James]

One of the few times I'll say I hope the rumors are completely false. Less kinect and more pro-consumer, please. Two months seems so far away.

 

[Grisby]

How much do they charge to use one of them Cryonic tanks to freeze myself until the announcement date?

I think it's free if you get the subscription model.

 

[Miles X]

E3 is actually about 2 months later, not that close.

No it isn't. It's about 6 weeks.

 

[Dead Prince]

someone Balm my avatar plz.

 

[Voice of Reason]

I don't think anyone can be hyped by Steve ballmer, no matter the gif.

I just think it's funny because of how ridiculous it looks. Ballmer doesn't hype me.

 

[Barbacoatl]

Happened with Ridge Hirai, and we all know how that turned out.

 

[legacyzero]

That's an awful lot of time to let everybody stew in the recent PS4 news.

 

[Azure J]

So:

February 20th - PSQuadripple
April 26th - Xbox Next
June 9th-ish - E3?

I like the two months between big news setup this year.

 

[benny_a]

 

[IHaveIce]

At least Microsoft knows not to have an event in the in the middle of the day on a Wednesday.

Sony did a good job with the time, it was at a good time for US and Europe.

 

[PhatSaqs]

MS showing how much they care about Sonys early reveal...

 

[Sub_Level]

Wow, on Rev3Games Adam Sessler actually cited late April as a date for the new Xbox reveal.

Dat intuition.

 

[Reiko]

How far away is that when measured in GDDR5? And do you think Microsoft can increase that before launch?

Bolded for emphasis:

If there is any changes done, it's not shown in the current spec leaked documents that we have now. That type of change would have happened already and would have been super internal like the PS4 RAM switch.

 

[Arrogant Menace]

MS about to treat us well

 

[Mr.Wreckless]

MS is either bringing the biggest gaming disappointment of the year, or a great megaton which will rock the industry.

Your move MS.

I think the Wii U has disappointment of the year all wrapped up.

 

[Certinty]

Will watch it for Usher.

 

[Baconsammy]

Kinda shoots a bunch of holes in those "They're just reacting out of fear to Sony's reveal" observations.

 

[DieH@rd]

Wow, on Rev3Games Adam Sessler actually cited late April as a date for the new Xbox reveal.

Dat intuition.

Geoff from GT also mentioned on Feb20 that MS will not unveil X720 "for a while".

 

[Brinbe]

nope, no care

 

[Biggzy]

In a way it does, all consoles will have been announced.

I was getting flashbacks of Sony's 'next gen starts when we say so.'

 

[calder]

Uh yeah Gaming Side Xbox PS4 etc etc

 

[Reiko]

Nice idea but I think Microsoft works better as a big faceless corporation.

I don't think anyone can be hyped by Steve ballmer, no matter the gif.

He's the most animated of all the spokesmen I've seen onstage in my lifetime.

He's fucking powering up on stage.

 

[ari]

So much for MS reacting to the PS4. Guess they really wasn't impressed.

 

[LQX]

Cape is ready.

 

[Glorified G]

Someone with a megaphone should ask about Always online/Anti used games before Mattrick even gets a word in.

 

[GarthVaderUK]

Some great gifs from the other thread (not created by me, all credit to the creators!)

...

My delivery is obviously really off tonight.

 

[MikeE21286]

Yeah, he was saying that immediately after the Sony event last week when him and Jeff G were debriefing.

 

[Strike]

A new challenger appears!

 

[AZ Greg]

So much for MS reacting to the PS4. Guess they really wasn't impressed.

Or they don't want the PS4 games to be fresh in the minds of people when they show theirs if they're underwhelming. Goes both ways.

 

[Tokyo Rain]

 

[JordanN]

He's the most animated of all the spokesmen I've seen onstage in my lifetime.

He's fucking powering up on stage.

So that explains the Mega Man stance.

Spoiler

Get it? Mega Man Powered Up

 

[Man-is-Obsolete]

Wow so Microsoft is basically forfeiting GDC to Sony for next gen talk. Strange move, I thought for sure they would announce at or before GDC. And this announcement is only a couple of weeks from E3, weird.

Edit: don't know why I said a couple of weeks to E3, it is more like 6. Still GDC is bound to have a lot next gen talk and that talk won't be for the next Xbox.

 

[RoKKeR]

Andherewego.gif

Too far away. I was guessing they'd go sometime around GDC.

 

[ThoughtsOfSpeaking]

He's the most animated of all the spokesmen I've seen onstage in my lifetime.

and with anyone else this would be gold....with him its just....weird.

 

[soulassssns]

So it begins.

I was so waiting for the RROD to pop up on his chest.

 

[RibMan]

Let's do this! Hopefully Ballmer makes an appearance.

 

[Miles X]

It's a smart move, I think we've seen from Kinect they know how to work the market (in terms of getting attention and getting the word out there)

Reveal April 26th

Constant hype for 6 weeks

E3

 

[BlackJace]

So...do we board the hype train now?

 

[ari]

Bolded for emphasis:

hmm, rumors was that the ps4 ram in leaked docs had it being 4gbs while durangos always been 8gbs. I think sony swapped it when they got wind of what MS was doing. That would make since.

But of course, people here would want to believe sony got this ram locked up and would say MS bit off of sony if 720 do indeed have gddr5.

Or they don't want the PS4 games to be fresh in the minds of people when they show theirs if they're underwhelming. Goes both ways.

That makes absolutely no fucking sense and all specs apart from the out of the blue gddr5 indicates they are on par GPU and CPU wise. Troll less.
