WHY DO YOU HATE FREEDOM?

...

PORQUE NO TE GUSTA LIBERTAD!?!?!

If you speak spanish, then you are mexican

Tenian que ser americanos, despues se quejan cuando dicen que Canada es mejor lol

I just want some RARE love, Killer Instinct and Banjo would put a smile in my face:)
 
You know what I want? Virtua Fighter 5. That's the only exclusive-steal want to see, keep DMC4 and Final Fantasy on PS3. I just want my 360 to have a fighting game that isn't Street Fighter II. The system sucks for that genre.

That "leak" with KI and 64 player Halo was total bullshit.

Halo would NOT be fun with 64 players online. It wouldn't even really be Halo. Any harcore H2 player will tell you they like 4 on 4 ideally, maybe 5 on 5. I like more than that personally. But 64 players would just be a giant rape festival.

This is true. It's kind of a shame Gears can't handle that many people, because I think it could work with its dive-for-cover gameplay. You could have 64 man trench warfare.

I could not disagree more. What's the fun in taking cover if a swarm of bad guys runs past you, and gets you at your sides?

Wow, this is MS there has been virtually no leaks? omfg..

maybe right before the conference tommorow there will be at least one leak.

no one has posted the rumors from xbox-scene?

edit: nvm the source is ******
 
The turbographx and genesis thing is a given I think.

More Halo 3 footage would be nice, not a given but would be nice. What else would be a megaton for them? Mmm... not sure, but there'll be at least one big thing people will say wow to even though it may or may not make a difference for them, Microsoft's been taking their PR seriously lately so it's unlikely they'll disappoint IMO. There'll be some considerable buzz even if the announcements are minor, new Halo 3 footage alone would guarantee that.
 
Since we're to the point of tossing out wishes that won't come true....Here's a far-out notion. They announce Halo 3 release window for summer, with the rumored Halo RTS game for the holidays next year. Keep up the momentum through the summer and into the holidays.

[/wishful thinking]

A new Chrono Trigger, and KOTOR 3 with Live Multiplayer would make me very happy and would be pretty big announcements.

K-k..

K-k-k-k..

K-k-k-k-kot

k-k-KOTOR?

must sit down

good, i'm already seated
 
Where I have no idea what to expect is XBLA, they really need to let loose. I wanna see all the ****ing games they've been talking about since E3 already and a ton of new titles and classics. I want a steady stream of games and demos going into the holidays starting with X06. And I want some online fighters that aren't some old ass SF2 or Fatal Fury, those games are ****ing dinosaurs, after playing SF3. I go in expecting to be dissappointed by everything but Halo 3 and Mass Effect. I'm curious to see Fable, and I really want to see and hear about some new games. PSU without fees would be great though.

If only there was some way to tone down your expectations. Unfortunately, they seem perfectly in line with reality as we know it, so I can't think of anything...

Can anyone else think of something?

beautiful pixels the size of human fists jerking across the screen! mind-melting repetitive game-play that crushes your will within the first 5 minutes! and gore, the sweet, sweet gore that freaked my mom out so much she returned the game! WHO'S LAUGHING NOW MOM?!?

Seriously. ****ing time zones! *shakes fist*

Okay, my revised guesses:

1) Holiday bundle w/ black 360 (normal otherwise)
2) New game in the Halo universe, new genre
3) Blue Dragon/Lost Odyssey for US
4) New Live Arcade games
5) Dashboard update - surfing, etc.


This sounds fairly plausible, scratch BD LO for rare i guess.

Quite possible, but I would be quite surprised if 50% of it didnt happen.
The demos are all that really interest me tbh.

The rest will come with time.
 
If they brought out a black 360 i would be tempted to buy it. Not for the aesthetics, but just because i figure it'd be more likely to be fresh from the factory than a white one.
 
If that list was demos at the show i might believe it, but MS has never released that much content in one week on XBLM, and they never will, for the simple reason that no one would watch/play more than half of it, thats the whole reason they space out releases, to give each game a place in the spot light. There's no reason for them to release all that crap in 3 days when they can do so over 4-6 months and get a lot more exposure to each game.

Mark my words.

Banjo 3 sure
Splinter Cell next chapter exclusive X360
Something related to GTA IV.

A guy that works at www.xbox.com told us. He previously told about PES6 and Fifa 07 exclusive deals before it happens, so for me is really trustworthy.
