Support NeoGAF

[flattie]

Classy, MS...classy.

 

[Dusk Golem]

Anyways, Microsoft is going to have to bring it, but if past E3s are anything to go by, I doubt they'll be able to.

Good source for memes, though.

 

[Taker666]

I'm guessing a handful of 3rd party core exclusives like Mirror's Edge 2.

The better exclusives will win the race... regardless of other bullshit policies.

 

[Card Boy]

 

[Soriku]

A few years down the road he's going to regret saying that...

 

[Fistwell]

Building up sky-high expectations for their E3 conf... after their turd of a reveal event.... well I guess that's one way to do it.

 

[Psycho_Mantis]

 

[Spider_Jerusalem]

megaton-class exclusives incoming? we'll see.

 

[LabouredSubterfuge]

They're going to have a bunch of third party exclusives aren't they? I can feel it.

 

[amardilo]

MS is going 2006 sony on us all right...smh

Yeah, everything seems the other way around to how it was in 2005/2005.

In 2005/2006 MS did loads of demos with people in casual clothing talking up games, developers and working with indies while Sony was saying stuff like the next generation doesn't start without them, everyone was in suits and they were touting the media player capabilities of their console.

Now Sony is more casual with their presentations and are looking like they are working hard to make developers lives easier to develop on their system. Microsoft are now the people in suits showcasing media playback options and saying things like people will still play games on Xbox regardless of anything.

 

[BlazingDarkness]

Going into the topic, I thought I was going to walk in on some outlandish and elaborate A-Team-style scheme from GAF to murder Sony.

And that's why the thread title is so awesome.

 

[SMT]

If this is legit...

 

[DBT85]

If this is legit...

That was in response to someone asking if the WiiU would be more powerful than the PS4 lol.

 

[IonicSnake]

If this is legit...

It's legit but it's not a reply to this.

 

[Sakura]

Rest in peace Sony

 

[Heretic]

So they're going to go to jail instead of doing the presentation. That's nice.

i laughed

 

[PolarGamer]

Until someone fluent in Spanish can confirm that "let's kill Sony at E3" is a correct translation, I will continue to not trust Google Translate to get everything right

 

[Gorillaz]

The title of the thread does sound like some A Team shit tho

 

[Slime]

Well, they said they're investing $1 billion in exclusives. Wouldn't be surprised if there were some surprising third party coups in there.

 

[Daante]

This E3 will be so epic.

Havent been this excited for this show in a long, long time!

 

[vio]

Must be some huge, last minute panic, exclusive. Or just a lot of DLC time exclusives lol.
Then again, it is insane what and how much of it MS people are saying these days.

 

[CassidyIzABeast]

 

[AppleMIX]

Yep it is Sony 2005/2006 all over again.

 

[zeopower6]

Until someone fluent in Spanish can confirm that "let's kill Sony at E3" is a correct translation, I will continue to not trust Google Translate to get everything right

The original line is pretty much "We will kill Sony at E3" if you know what matar means, lol.

Vamos a matar a Sony en el E3

 

[Eteric Rice]

Yeah.

I hope Sony stomps on them for the DRM they're trying to pull. Not to mention that arrogance.

They're doing the same shit Sony did in 2006, but worse.

 

[specialguy]

upon reading the title i was pretty sure iwata was throwing down.

 

[Kyon]

did they just moneyhat a new game or something? cause this is a mess

 

[BloodyJasonMask]

 

[Canon]

Or die trying!

 

[Vexxan]

Weapon of choice: Xbone on a stick.

 

[HeroInGreen]

I'm from Spain and I can confirm that "We are going to kill Sony at E3" is an accurate translation of the sentence in the original article.

I'm pretty surprised myself.

 

[Pistolero]

Well, they said they're investing $1 billion in exclusives. Wouldn't be surprised if there were some surprising third party coups in there.

No, they said they've invested a billion$ in their studios, which obviously includes building up developers' teams, etc...

 

[SMT]

That was in response to someone asking if the WiiU would be more powerful than the PS4 lol.

It's legit but it's not a reply to this.

Still an epic thing to say regarding the different context.
Respect Yoshi, respect.

 

[spats]

Sounds like something Kutaragi would say.

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

Third console arrogance!

Coining that shit to the grave. Time to start a second job to be able to pay for Xbox One.

 

[SteelYoshi]

I'll be honest, I'm afraid of Microsoft ending up in the lead... If they do, what will become of future gaming consoles?
Sony, step up and destroy them!

 

[Gorillaz]

did they just moneyhat a new game or something? cause this is a mess

Yea it sounds like something big. Or they are just talking shit to look tough

probably a little of both

 

[mrklaw]

Don't worry, Microsoft's enthusiasm for fan pleasing moves tends to peter out after a couple of years...

Job done by then though :/

If it is tons of first party exclusives or Xbox live going free, then great, we all win. If it is them opening their wallet and buying 3rd par exclusives then I don't like that so much, reduces consumer choice.

 

[CassidyIzABeast]

 

[Flame Lord]

Jesus Christ MS's Moneyhatting isn't that powerful...is it?


I feel they have Respawn's new IP and possibly some Fallout 4 side quest along with the whole Mirrors edge 2 thing.

"Microsoft has $1 billion to invest in exclusive Xbox One titles"

 

[Unknown One]

Perhaps money hats evolved into money suitcases.

 

[Robot Pants]

Doubt it.

 

[Kyon]

No, they said they've invested a billion$ in their studios, which obviously includes building up developers' teams, etc...

i thought they invested 1billion in the entire Xbone project as a whole?

 

[FlyFaster]

I'm kind of afraid of this, honestly. I'm afraid MS are going to show a bunch of really awesome games that I won't get to play because I refuse to support their console.

They would have to show off the most revolutionary game I've ever seen and it would have to be Xbone exclusive.

 

[amstradcpc]

Sounds like something Kutaragi would say.

The first thing i thought was: "the new generation starts when we say so" - Kutaragi Tm.

 

[SMT]

 

[Scofield94941]

 

[Pistolero]

i thought they invested 1billion in the entire Xbone project as a whole?

That's too low of a figure for the entire project, imo. But it all amounts to PR to me. They could be including first party salaries for all we know...

 

[BlazingDarkness]

"Microsoft has $1 billion to invest in exclusive Xbox One titles"

'exclusive windows and things to create differentiation'

So timed exclusives and exclusive DLC.
I wouldn't assume they're outright buying exclusives - third parties are reluctant to do that.

 

[TheRagnCajun]

Okay MS. We are all now expecting the most mind-blowing E3 presentation ever to make up for how shitty this console reveal has been thus far.
