Really? To many that's what Resistance looked like. I don't think Killzone looks amazing either but it looks miles better than Resistance franchise.
I want some Ballmer insanity, it would be great.
I'm not sure whether this bit is true or not, but I was told from a friend of mine that the next Xbox will easily match the PS4, probably even surpass it. The same guy told me about Assassins's Creed theme (Pirates) long before it was unveiled, so I thought it would do no harm sharing it...
Don't know if it's legit since it's second hand info, but time will tell...

Ballmer is killing it!

I'll decide if I believe you in 3 days.

Would be cool but he barely acknowledges MS anymore.
He's not really active anymore.

Guek was hinting about Durango being more power than what's "known" out there too.
But I'm going to just keep expectations low. 1.2T, 8GB DDR3 RAM, etc. More interested to see if Perfect Dark will be shown.

Aaron kind of did too.

People actually bought this godforsaken game in large numbers in Korea? That's awesome.
JRPG Xbox exclusives going to make a comeback guys. Hold on to your butts.
It'd really give the event buzz in the mainstream, moreso than if he doesn't attend. I think he's always had a softspot for Xbox though.
I could see it winding up with something like a 1.8GHz CPU and ~1.5Tflop GPU with a much smaller OS footprint than rumored. It would close the gap a lot.
I don't put a blind faith in it myself, but if proven correct, It'll cement the position of my friend as a legitimate source of leaks...
I believe in the bubbles!
He was banned years ago, don't remember why.
he is not the WORLDS richest man... "only" second
No, as of yesterday he's back to number one due to Microsoft's rise in value.

Bill will show up, but to which E3 or the Reveal?
You will forever then be an 'insider'

being a dick is being a dick... when your upfront about it the only difference is more people think you're a dick.
Wow @ the vitriol. Apparently I can't have an opinion about anything because I have a Nintendo-leaning avatar. Truth is, I'm very excited about both the 21st and what Sony will have to reveal at E3.
This feels so weird not to have a leak to ponder over for an Xbox reveal (visually speaking). I'm both excited and afraid for what MS is planning. I hope it isn't such a radical departure from a gaming console as to devastate the core fanbase.. I really can't see them doing that though.

Reveal.
The reveal is going to be the bigger event of the two, but the E3 Press Conference will focus on people like us who play a wide variety of games.

I'd honestly be surprised if they surpass PS4 specs, I expect slightly weaker, more concerned about the games, PGR and Alan Wake would probably make it a day one purchase

True. Don "Douchy" Mattrick is actually quite entertaining.
The guy has dropped many bombs in the past.
We probably might see a lot of Insert NeoGAF member redeemed posts.

I would think some sort rehearsal should start tomorrow or Monday. I wonder if something will leak.

Haha, that term is used way too loosely here, especially when it is just normal, non-industry connected members that are basically getting their "info" from other alleged "insiders" by pestering them on PM.
he is not the WORLDS richest man... "only" second
He is the richest again since a couple of days.
They'll be rehearsing in the bunker rather than the tent I imagine.
Yeah but he's our dick.
How the hell can anyone call don mattrick that?
He's a damn pioneer in the industry

I think "Insider Proxies" is a more believable term.

The correct term is more likely Chinese whispers.
Thanks to the Xbox brand, he has to make a cameo at least during the May 21st reveal!

A douchy pioneer in the industry?
With the recent news of what this reveal might contain all I can think about is that premonition no games clip. Does anyone still have that?
At the very least Bill has to be in the audience, no way would he watch this on TV when he was such a big part of every Xbox reveal before it.
Yeah, his mere presence would be enough to support MS's biggest success story since Windows.

If i was Don i'd get him to come to show that it is a big deal. He was there for xbox and xbox 360. It will help that much more when the mainstream press talks about the next xbox.

It's from one of the best commercials ever:

Unfortunately it's very low quality and the gif spoiled it, but seeing it for the first time years ago was incredible.
Left a huge smile on my face, slowclap.
