Give it time man... For all we know he's going to post about it tomorrow.
If E3 comes and goes and you don't hear anything, then start hounding him for answers.

Lmao. Out of 260 pages there were 2 pages about Xbox. Thats because there has been a lot of leaks and news for it today. At the end of the day we are all gamers and we like to discuss what is happening in the gaming world regardless of company.
AFAIK they're not allowed to be made until much nearer the time. I can PM it to you so you don't need to visit the gaming forum and get spoiled.

Not arguments here. I even said as much after they revealed that figure. Seems a terrible waste of money, but that's MS.
Honestly don't care if Fallout 4 is exclusive or not, as long as it happens. Doesn't mean I'm not aware what a FO4 exclusivity deal could mean in the larger picture, just that knowing it's coming soon would be more important to me than any single system selling point.
I will eventually buy all three next gen systems; the order in which my money is spent is what's being decided Monday. I preferred the 360 this gen, so MS has that good will in their favor, show me enticing games on Monday and I'll put money down to reserve.

It's a sickening waste, I can't even process it tbh.
GAF speculation based on the fact the last 2 Bethesda titles had timed exclusive DLC on 360, as well as New Vegas.

Modus warned against doing stuff like this, btw. And what makes it worse is you didn't take the time to even read the thread to understand that interviews are still scheduled.
Le sigh ........
Waste to us maybe, but not to them. To them, it took business away from the PS3 and brought people to them, to buy the multiplat version of the game, and in some cases, to even buy an Xbox. To us it is wasting money since it has no bearing on us, bar us getting content "on time", but to them it is the farthest thing from a waste.
Talking about the NFL stuff for Kinect.

Can't begin to imagine how many more games like State of Decay that money could have funded.
Terrible, terrible waste.

It may be at both, the GI article did mention it being at the EA press conference as well. Also, the GI article was going to go live on Sunday, so I don't think Microsoft were counting on it being their showstopper or anything.
MS must have a lot of games to show or they are moving things around my guess.
It's after MS's conference. MS will most likely show it, have a trailer or some gameplay, then EA will expand on it(?)

That's surprising. I guess they want to give it a full stage demo and MS couldn't or weren't willing to accommodate as they have their own first party titles to showcase?
Sorry, thought you were referring to the GTA4 DLC, disregard.
Ha it's fine, I thought that was a good spend of money.

The NFL stuff is weird. Sony has Sunday Ticket, but they don't really have quality Sunday Ticket. What they do is charge their users full price for Sunday Ticket, but feed them the Directv mobile feeds (really awful on a big screen), which costs in reality 30-40 dollars. Microsoft spends 400 million on an NFL deal that nets them zero games. Sony users are dumb to overpay for what Directv/Sony are providing them, and MS is dumb to overpay for what the NFL is providing them. My takeaway from all of that is that the NFL are some shrewd motherfuckers.
Titanfall not being at the MS press conference tells you that it was never intended to be a huge reveal for them. Good news, I guess.
I remember years past games being at two conferences.

That was actually a very good investment by MS. Those episodes were better than the base game and by a considerable margin.
More of that and less of wasting money on something that most of the rest of world can't access or has no interest in.
You clearly have no idea how big Football is. Just simply making a game isn't the only way you promote your system.

The NFL is huge. But how does offering me an app that shows scores and stats entice me to buy your console? I can get all of that on my phone, tablet etc. What are Microsoft getting for that 400 million dollar partnership other than the right to call themselves an NFL partner and provide some lame apps you can view while watching a game?
Well obviously but to me $400 million for what they showed is a complete joke.
Well...
It could still be at both press conferences, but they wouldn't word it like that.
I know Ubisoft did it last year with Blacklist (Microsot and Ubisoft's press conferences) and ACIII (Sony and Ubisoft's press conferences).
Can't think of such an example with EA.

why?
because business reasons.
I'm guess we get that answer sheet Monday morning before the conference.

Something that bothered me about the GI issue was that TitanFall was the only unannounced game in the entire issue.
Now if GI planned for the issue to go out during E3 and didn't want to be behind, they'd have covered everything. Alternatively, if they didn't want to leak, they'd have covered nothing. Why cover just TitanFall?
Not sure if it has anything to do with it appearing at EA's presser or not, but it's strange nonetheless.

You do know the NFL brings in 9 billion a year right?

WSJ are usually good with leaks, wonder if we'll get a console date/pricing the same day or before the conference?

Like someone said above me: storm in a teacup.
So you're only interested if you can post bad news? lol There is absolutely no point in shitting up this thread with inconsequential news with the aim being just to shit on the X1. Plenty of other threads you can do that in.
That doesn't make his statement untrue.

Apparently you should only focus on something that's popular worldwide. Catering to one specific market, even if it is by far the biggest market for gaming, is a bad thing. I can understand the complaint that 400 million for apps etc is a bad thing, but to suggest that they shouldnt focus on something simply because it's only popular in the US is just not very bright.

Or have legitimate complaints that don't come across as some poor attempt at trolling or otherwise attempting to derail a thread that has so far managed (surprisingly) to avoid any major derail.
Still, bye I guess.
