I want to see some Rare devs on stage. Enough of this shy personality already, you British bastards.
 
Adam Sessler said something interesting today about Microsoft letting some things slip out this week that they didn't want to focus on at E3. He wasn't specific about the nature of that info, so it could be about games, policies, hardware.

The hype is very low in NeoGAF (aside this thread), people keep saying "TV, TV, Kinect"...

That's what happens when your video game console reveals spends 45 minutes talking about TV.

As long as they bring the games, attention will ryse ;)

Didn't they say a few years ago they wanted to become more ... open. I mean we've had them on stage jigging about to KS. Not sure I'd call that shy!

When the idea of merging game and TV came up, I immediately thought of a drama by Remedy, and comedy by Twisted Pixel featuring Tim and Eric or something.

He was just talking about DRM and Used Games and then he mentioned they might drop that info this week so they don't have to spend more time at E3 explaining it. I would kinda prefer they do it that way but they may need to get up there on stage and come out with it.

Yeah wise move, perhaps they should have done this immediately after the reveal ...
 
Hey guys, could someone please make an e3 spoiler-free thread? I'll be out all next week and wont be back till the 17th and I won't have internet access all that time (I know, right?). An all in one (Sony, MS, and Ninty) thread would be nice. Thanks.

Quoting for new page.

Come on guys. :(

Yeah, this thread started before the PS4 equiv and has 10x less posts. I expect MS hype to pick back up to more normal levels after the conference.


Btw - first post after a 5 year lurking hiatus. I guess the console wars have amped me up once again...

I decided against making a new thread for this. I'll post this here:

I am really excited for Quantum Break for a couple of reasons: 1) It's a new IP from Remedy, 2) I'm eager to unravel the mystery behind that girl and her special powers, 3) I loved Alan Wake, its DLC, and American Nightmare, and 4) I'm very intrigued by the live action footage from the original Quantum Break reveal.

Point #4 will be what I want to focus on. Remedy are no strangers to using live action footage in their video games. The Night Springs television shows in Alan Wake 1 were all live action, and there were several live action television messages that the villain recorded for you in American Nightmare.

Here is the Quantum Break reveal video:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PwmSsx3b6v0

So near the end of the Quantum Break video, it looks like the main protagonist is attacking soldiers that have the "Monarch Security" logo on their clothing.

During the XB1 conference, they presented a general hardware reveal video, and in it the words "Live TV" were shown as they were citing all of the features of XB1. Immediately after "Live TV" they showed a character looking back behind himself, and then being escorted by two security guards. Back then I thought it was some random show, but the guards have Monarch Security on their clothing. See the timestamped video below.

Also, in the same hardware reveal video, a couple of seconds later they show the same woman who asked the Quantum Break girl "What makes you so special?" See the timestamped video below.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AbKyuWpYhNg#t=1m16s



So..... could this mean all of the cutscenes in Quantum Break could just be live action? I would be very pleased with that. Come to think of it, Alan Wake 1 was structured exactly like a television show. It was broken into six episodes (nine if you could the DLC and American Nightmare) and before each of the first six episodes there was a recap like at the beginning of a serial television show.

Hey! Your hype will be delivered! Huurray

Might as well throw me on the train.

I don't think it's so much as there isn't much hype, I just think a majority of the XB1 community has been banned.

Hopefully, a great show will pick it up.

Apologies if this list has been done before, but I just want to gather things up prior to E3. So 15 exclusives, 8 new IPs, 7 returning games, and all the new IPs are first-party, all releasing within the first year of The One's release (guessing November 2013 to November 2014):

8 new IPs:
Quantam Break
Ryse
?
?
?
?
?
?

7 returning:
Forza Motorsport 5
Historic Rare franchise
? (Halo 2 Anniversary? Nov' 14)
?
?
?
?

I'll make sure to update the list as people correct me on it.

In Japan,there is rumor that Makoto Asada who produced Do-Don-Pachi series was left the company, and joined Microsoft Studios Osaka.

Microsoft seems to make light of japanese market, But I don't hope so.

Those 7 returning games are part of the 15 exclusives coming out in the first year for XB1. There is no way Rare is going to release that many games in the first year.

Expect only one game from Rare if we're talking about the group of "7 returning."

Any more than that and then we're dealing with games that are two to three years away.

I need on that train. I'm so hyped for E3. I believe in MS to bring a good selection of games to E3. I've been thinking I really hope MS stops 3rd party controllers and I believe always online might stop some of the cheating online. They cheating was never bad but if they can lower even better I'm all for it.

Jeez. Ima cry. I'll stop quoting myself now, but jeez people :'(

Also, Youtube links would be nice, but anything just so the conferences aren't spoiled.

We are used that MS is not know by "dat deliver company", but hey, since when others did a mass 15 exclusives announcement?

Listening to the IGN Podcast Unlocked, they said Kinect 2 is not as wide as Kinect 1, and the One is only slightly bigger than the 360S.

Awesome news if true.

Count me in on the train of hype :)

have old friends still in Microsoft security. Didn't tell me anything that'd break the contractual nda, but it's been very busy at the millenium campus/dt Bellevue and Kirkland. Can't wait to see what's brought out.
 
What if they said... "Guess what? X1 comes out the same day GTA 5 comes out. And you guessed it. GTA 5 is a release game for the X1."

Hey... let me a dream here a bit.

I've been speculating this to be the case for months.

I think the GTA delay was a result of money hats from MS to get a One version for launch. So September. Pal/Japan then get the console in November.

Historic Rare franchise, New IP from Black Tusk

I don't think Black Tusk's new IP is going to release within the next year. It seems like they just recently went into full production mode.

Seven returning...? I really hope 4 of them include Banjo, Killer Instinct, Conker and Perfect Dark.

Haha I don't see Rare releasing 4 games, although I wish. The 7 returning can include third part exclusives, I believe, since MS only said the 8 new IPs were all first-party.

That would be pretty awesome. And all the pictures they've been showing that everyone is raving how great they look... They're really X1 GTA screens. Ha... I wish, that would be nice.

Do you have a link to that rumor?
He announced he was leaving Cave in the DDP-SDOJ Special Edition notes.

Wut?

I guess I'm blind, linky? Or are you just saying your going to make it? If so, then why not now? Just bump it up every once in a while. I'd like to get it secured so I don't have to think about it.

Here:

I wouldn't worry, someone is bound to do one near the time.

And here:
A spoiler-free thread has always been made for the past few years, so it's almost guaranteed someone will make one in the next few days. You've got nothing to worry about.
 
I hope Class 4 makes an appearance.

Don't count on it...

Class 3 isn't out until Wednesday. A large amount of their resources will then move to either post-release support (I haven't heard anything about DLC, but it's possible) or to the PC port. At this point, it's probably a very small core team who has started thinking about Class 4.

They've also said they're going to design Class 4 around what works and what doesn't with Class 3. They'll need a few months to really understand what works/doesn't with the game.

If I had to guess, we probably won't see Class 4 until E3 2015 at the earliest. Considering the scope they want to hit for the game (MMO-esque), it wouldn't surprise me if it wasn't until E3 2016 until they're ready to show, and hopefully release the same year! The wait has been painfully long for Class 3 (I first heard about it in 2010 when they started recruiting).

Gunstringer right? It has live action, Kinect and Twisted Pixel ;)

Never had the pleasure to play it, but definitely something like that, but I'm guessing they flesh out the live-action stuff more. I really want to give that game a spin some time, as I hear it's the best use of the Kinect on 360.
