Gears 1 blew my socks right off. But Gears 2 and 3 already felt like just more of the same. As does GoW:J.Gears 1 is one of the best games of all time, arguable the best TPS of all time, or at least right up there. I agree with others that Gears isn't overdone, it's that Judgment seemed like too little too soon.
Gears could even go multi-platform next generation.
I really enjoyed judgment but I agree. I would like to play a Pendulum Wars game though. So a spin off series, maybe culminating in E Day.MS should let Gears of War series take a rest. What we need are new IPs.
they dont look alike.
samaritan's world is much cooler out of those two. so blade runner esque...
I'm hoping for this. If not Tuesday then at E3.
That doesn't make it a 'must have' that everyone should have, like a phone or a tablet/PC.
Not even slightly in the same ball-park. Also worth considering that my Panasonic VT65 TV has Skype and a camera built-in and most Samsung & Panasonic Smart TVs are going to this road (probably the rumoured Apple TV too).
I think it's more likely a new IP from Epic would go multi-platform.
Please tell me, how could you easily make a console appealing to those people who aren't all that interested in gaming?Regardless, you could easily make a console appealing to those people, depending on what you have to offer.

Do we expect MS to change hardware specs and maybe ammount of memory?
I mean they are 2,5 months behind Sony with their announcment. Any thoughts?

On-demand TV? Either they have it already built in to their satellite/cable box or their Smart TV. Or they can buy a cheap media box ($49+) if not.
Skype? They likely have a smart-phone, tablet or perhaps functionality built in to their TV.
Internet browsing? Better on anything than a TV.

Hype is getting to me. I was planning on waiting a year before getting anything new so I could get through my current gen backlog. But...
Edit:
I've already seen some people say as much that having these Xbox avatars tells them how serious they can take someone's opinion :/
As pach man said, it does not matter when the big two annouce, people are going to have between E3 and november which platform they want.
marketing around in the launch window is going to be far more important then the time of annoucment.
Its going to be interesting who is going to have the most adverts, if the new xbox has as much ads as windows phone,8 and surface, its going to be tuff for sony to match that level of exposure
ppl who think the xbox avatar thing is a sign of fanboyness, take gaming way to seriously, I think not joining in the fun is like being a humbug at christmas

People also asked why anyone would buy a tablet when they could get a faster laptop that was equally portable. And yet they're destroying the traditional PC market.
People tend to be jerks. It's just good fun.

I think it's more likely a new IP from Epic would go multi-platform.
Which would be lame-ish. But if the specs war can't be won, it's an understandable move.
If the media functionality of consoles was going to have the same effect, we'd already be seeing PS3 and 360 selling like tablets.

Did anyone say anything about consoles selling like tablets? I don't think so.
Don't start this.
No, they will have an exclusive Durango IP.
This...or infiltrator.
Either would be awesome...and I expect one.Yeah the specs talk is getting really tiresome at this point so let's just wait and talk about specs after MS announces them.
A new Infiltrator demo will be extremely cool but I think I prefer what we've seen from Samaritan - I just love Blade Runner so much I guess.
Not as such. I just said that then. But DopeyFish implied that consoles being expensive doesn't matter, because iPads and iPhones are expensive. I argued that was a pointless comparison.
Then you mentioned that you could 'easily' make the console appealing to those same people. I'm arguing that it isn't easy at all to win over that market, given the competition Durango already faces before launch, even from the 360 itself.
And I'm still waiting to hear how you would easily make the console appealing to those people.
Woah, I totally missed the Infiltrator demo. Thanks everyone who linked to it.
Looks interesting I must say..
However, what ever happened with Samaritan?
Nothing new?
Do you guys think these Xbox avatars will get us labeled as fanboys?
