Microsoft E3 Press Conference Thread (No Spoilers)

Also, I suspect y'all are going to be very disappointed.

The conferences never live up to the hype we put on them, even the good conferences. It doesn't mean they won't be interesting conferences though and today is going to be a fun ride thats for sure..
 
Whaaaaaaaat, why is there a picture of Jack and Phil? Why are these arch enemies hugging? Where is Jacks knife? His armed guard? Why would he fraternise?!

No but seriously, I thought Jack wasn't about this year? Is he just coming to E3 as an honorary guest?

He's on Spike as an analyst, IV always been 50/50 like every other year I switch from "I'm not a big fan of his" to "He's a cool guy" back and forwards.
 
Is the stream going to be available to watch on xbox one? Would rather watch this on the big screen and I don't have spike tv anymore.

I think hes saying the hype levels are entirely to damn high
They always are. That is what makes gaf great. We hype things up and make awesome Gifs and we spend 10-15 hours of our life making a hype train after spending 30 hours reading gaf to make sure we were able to get everyone on. Its like Christmas morning lol.
 
So these threads are still allowed? Damn, can't wait for the Nintendo thread will hopefully open very soon.

I will watch Microsofts press conference but just because I have nothing to do
 
With this not being a console year like last year, I need a really big draw to get me hyped about E3. And Phil Spencer stepping up to the throne is that draw.

The old Xbox Guard really cut Phil's work out for him last year, and now he's being hailed as the hero people are hoping for. This could be his E3 2004, his could be the conference we're all quoting for years to follow. That's what's intriguing me.
 
Will they do a MGS5 this year? Saying a game is exclusive on their console only to retract it a couple of hours later...
 
Seriously, in the pictures, the only thing I'm expecting to appear is Sunset Overdrive and Halo, largely due to them existing.

Be careful man, especially if you want to be here for E3.

I missed out on E3 here once because I said something stupid. Sucked.

I was a young Gaffer at the time though, and they were lenient on me :)

Better to err on the safe side if one's preference is strong in any direction.

Let's write the history Phil!

As much as Mattrick fucked up Xbox, it could be a good thing in the long run as we now have Spencer and i think Microsoft in general now know what consumers want/expect with future Xbox consoles.

Spencer was just as responsible for the Xbox one fuck up last year as Mattrick was.

That's what I'm going for. We've got Spencer now, he's gonna right the ship after knowing what he already knew for years, and learning what he was able to learn from last year.

I don't wanna be punished either, so I might just play it safe and not post very much.

No he was not. I can't imagine Spencer having the final word on having Kinect or TV stuff in there, as you can see he has immediately moved away from that image.
 
I absolutely can NOT wait to see more of Horizon 2.

I'll be floored at any new reveals, but if I get a good portion of Horizon...I'll be very happy.

Yeah, Spencer was head of first-party development for years. During a time where their first-party output was ... well, very dry.

I think Mattrick was a jackass holding the company back, but I also think Spencer was just as bad at his job as Mattrick was.
Now he's in the spotlight, i'm curious if he's able to deliver on all his twitter promises.

Either way, interesting to see what happens.
 
Man this is going to be a long 4hrs train ride.
I hope there's a Gears Teaser or Trailer. I just want to see if they are doing a complete reboot or a prequel.
