but googy has googy now

incoming lawsuit

Xbox Now! is trademarked and domain registered. If and when Microsoft wants to use that name they can with very little resistance. Google is not a direct competitor to Xbox. "Bing Now" would be more lawsuit worthy than Xbox Now! Also the "explanation" mark makes it different.

 

[Mr.Fresh]

Anyone wanna run threw Halo 4 or Gears 3/Judgement with me while we wait?

 

[Gestault]

 

[Bleedorang3]

I need all of you to gather around me. Cross your fingers, and PRAY the Surface team is behind the hardware.

Come on fuckers. Pray.

Been calling this one for forever. If Panos Panay walks out on stage to show the hardware I'm gonna shit myself.

 

[soulassssns]

Why are you dreaming about Microsoft conferences?

Here dream about this:

LOL, who is that and why isnt Ballmers head added to it yet?

 

[DopeyFish]

Microsoft are fools to have ever mistreated such a talented studio.

They didnt mistreat them

Bizarre thought they were hot shits and they paid for it

People forget publishers will sometimes be stern to developers when they are starting to lose their way.

 

[Four_Chamber]

Listening to the Killer Instinct main theme right now.

If this music starts playing either now or during E3, I may just pass out from over-hype. Rare is Microsoft's ace up its sleeve- they can really do some damage with some big games from them.

 

[Izick]

A VaporMag Xbox is something my mind can't comprehend. Hell, just having the Surface design team at all would be spectacular. Probably the best looking tablet on the market, to me.

Did all the Kudos from fans go to their head?

We've already heard from Microsoft employees that the reveal is going to be hardware orientated, they might not go into the detail that Sony did but I'm pretty sure one way or another we are going to see specs on the reveal date.

Do not give in detail the specifications would be stupid.After the announcement the third party will be free to speak and make judgments about the console and make comparison with the ps4.So it is better that it is MS to explain the HW choices made.

 

[Karak]

The see through days remaining countdown are the highlight of this thread. Loving them.

 

[SenjutsuSage]

plus a filled with ice (it's really hot in here these last days) glass with some Coke in it.

 

[MrGreencastle]

Been calling this one for forever. If Panos Panay walks out on stage to show the hardware I'm gonna shit myself.

I will be disappointed if they don't drop it on stage. That should become a new Microsoft tradition.

What is this talk of "Xbox Now!" from a supposed Rare employee?

 

[Karak]

Can someone please do a Jade Empire 2 days remaining? If you have a spare moment? Like Shenmue, it is a distant reality but a favorite of mine.

 

[Gestault]

Hey man, how do you make these GIFs? I'm trying to make some (non-Xbox) related GIFs with video in specific shapes with a transparent background. Could you point me in the right direction?

I use Adobe ImageReady. Basically, you can make a selection from the "transparency" of a text layer, then use it like a punchout and delete sections from each frame. I'm sure there are more graceful ways to do it, lol

its fake. came from 4chan.

 

[Slayer-33]

Shenmue 3 as a launch title would be a gigantic gigaton of otherworldly proportions.

Apparently just horse-puckey. It was a guy with some Rare memorabilia trying to pass off as an employee.

Shenmue 3 as a launch title would be a gigantic gigaton of otherworldly proportions.

I don't even know what would happen. I think a black hole would be created at the event and throw everyone into an alternate dimension or something.

 

[PopcornMegaphone]

What is this talk of "Xbox Now!" from a supposed Rare employee?

Looks ultra fake.

 

[Axonometri]

its fake. came from 4chan.

Yea I saw 4chan then read they said it had a decal on the side... LOL yea MS can't afford anything but a decal on the side of it's new box?

 

[Sobriquet]

Iphone is not growing, even WP8 is growing more than iphone.

That chart shows the opposite of what you're saying.

 

[Guymelef]

Shenmue 3 as a launch title would be a gigantic gigaton of otherworldly proportions.

Microsoft won't go with more Shenmue after the fail of the XBOX version.

 

[Impeccable]

I don't get the Shenmue love.

 

[Reiko]

I don't get the Shenmue love.

Ending a trilogy will get you eternal love.

 

[SpaceHobo]

What is this talk of "Xbox Now!" from a supposed Rare employee?

Nonsense from 4chan

 

[Axonometri]

So I had heard something about cross-gen being a big thing and MS is prepping to update 360 to match branding... but is it more than that?

Could we see cross-gen play between 360 and next Xbox?

 

[Izick]

I don't get the Shenmue love.

It's basically something that was so different for the time, and it just felt like it was on another level. I know a lot of people dislike it and somewhat similar games like Heavy Rain, but I like them.

 

[XtremeXpider]

That chart shows the opposite of what you're saying.

Fourth column is Q12012 market share:
1.9% for WP
22.5% for iOS

Second column is Q12013 market share:
2.9% for WP
18.2% for iOS

Then:
2.9 > 1.9 WP
18.2 < 22.5 iOS

 

[FordGTGuy]

Give us your technique secrets on these GIFs!

Guys, I may actually do the Doritos and Mountain Dew combination. It would seem so fitting especially since the Doritos Pope will be presiding over the festivities.

Or people just liked the game naturally wanting another

it was interesting to see how much people wanted to believe that 4chan rumor, they were eating it up like a plate of the best pasta on earth.

According to multiple sites it was not a rumor it was confirmed!

I think the point was that iOS added more units than WP8.

Not hard to grow your % when the numbers are as low as they are with WP8

All Internet servers on Earth would overload and burn, BURN, I say!

I took it as growth in marketshare which Microsoft has slowly done while Apple has lost some.

Windows has overtaken Blackberry but are still miles behind Apple and Android. Apple needs to get something going though. ios 7 is supposed to be a major change. I'm still wondering if the lukewarm response to both Windows 8 and the Surface will have any impact of the new Xbox?

Yuk. No amount of Mountain Dew will get rid of that image.

man shenmue 3 announcement with a killer instinct 3 announcement... dun dun dun
