Happenstance Posted April 24, 2013 Posted April 24, 2013 (edited) On Tuesday May 21st, we’ll mark the beginning of a new generation of games, TV and entertainment. On that day, we’ll be holding a special press event on the Xbox campus and we invite you to join us via the live global stream that will be available on Xbox.com, Xbox LIVE and broadcast on Spike TV if you are in the US or Canada. On that day, we’ll share our vision for Xbox, and give you a real taste of the future. Then, 19-days later at the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) in Los Angeles, we’ll continue the conversation and showcase our full lineup of blockbuster games. We are thrilled to pull back the curtain and reveal what we’ve been working on. 5pm GMT http://majornelson.com/2013/04/24/xboxreveal/ Edited April 24, 2013 by Happenstance
Shorty Posted April 24, 2013 Posted April 24, 2013 It's either going to be full of surprises, or disappointment :/
Cube Posted April 24, 2013 Author Posted April 24, 2013 It's either going to be full of surprises, or disappointment :/ I don't think I've heard a single rumour that I want to be true. Either Microsoft are extremely good at keeping secrets, or there will be plenty drawing me away from it.
Happenstance Posted April 24, 2013 Posted April 24, 2013 Im going to be watching it mostly out of interest in the gaming industry. I cant see myself buying whatever Microsoft put out for the next gen.
Happenstance Posted April 25, 2013 Posted April 25, 2013 Some new rumours http://uk.ign.com/articles/2013/04/25/next-xbox-functionality-pricing-reportedly-outed
Cube Posted April 25, 2013 Author Posted April 25, 2013 I think they just reposted the information Thurrott said nearly a month ago.
Captain Falcon Posted April 25, 2013 Posted April 25, 2013 Well there is a rumour going around at the moment concerning a 360 SoC which could be included into Durango and give it full backward compatibility without compromise as well as be used in conjunction with the all new hardware for better performance. It will also be the thing that powers the Set Top box style 360 device.
S.C.G Posted April 26, 2013 Posted April 26, 2013 Well there is a rumour going around at the moment concerning a 360 SoC which could be included into Durango and give it full backward compatibility without compromise as well as be used in conjunction with the all new hardware for better performance. It will also be the thing that powers the Set Top box style 360 device. I seriously hope that's true as I refuse to buy a 720/Durango plus a Set-top box just to play my old 360 games, heck I'm not even sure if I even want the next Xbox at the moment though I suppose it's too early to say for sure until later next month.
Daft Posted April 26, 2013 Posted April 26, 2013 I just refuse to buy an Xbox as long as Microsoft keep pursuing and Xbox LIVE subscription; I'm not paying to get access to my subscription of Netflix.
Daft Posted April 30, 2013 Posted April 30, 2013 Microsoft 'behind' in next-gen Xbox software development - report ...A report...of a rumour.
Cube Posted April 30, 2013 Author Posted April 30, 2013 ...A report...of a rumour. Eurogamer started that trend. Instead of labelling a new item "Rumour: Unlikely headline goes here" they word it like "Unlikely headline goes here - Report". Presumably to hide the fact that it's a rumour.
Daft Posted April 30, 2013 Posted April 30, 2013 It wouldn't surprise me if it were true (actually, the opposite) but DAMN IT it's not a report.
Hero-of-Time Posted April 30, 2013 Posted April 30, 2013 I can't wait till this console gets revealed. I'm sick of all the rumours and speculation around the thing. I think waiting this long has done more damage than good for Microsoft.
dazzybee Posted April 30, 2013 Posted April 30, 2013 Yeah, I'm looking forward to after E3 as a whole. I just want to know what all three companies have to offer so I can start thinking about what to get. I'm really really hoping I don't want to buy another console this year. Especially as I'm moving to Paris in November for 6 months
Daft Posted April 30, 2013 Posted April 30, 2013 Don't be stupid. If Kotaku were fishing for hits they wouldn't have buried that information toward the end of an article about an Xbox exclusive. It would have had it's own separate article with that emblazoned as the headline.
Cookyman Posted April 30, 2013 Posted April 30, 2013 Yeah, I'm looking forward to after E3 as a whole. I just want to know what all three companies have to offer so I can start thinking about what to get. I'm really really hoping I don't want to buy another console this year. Especially as I'm moving to Paris in November for 6 months Zut Alors - get the PS4!
dazzybee Posted April 30, 2013 Posted April 30, 2013 Zut Alors - get the PS4! I undoubtedly will. Just hope I can hold off til I get ack fromfrance
dwarf Posted May 19, 2013 Posted May 19, 2013 I'm expecting a catastrophe on the scale of Sony's E3 2006. It won't be as funny a failure or have such a detrimental price point announcement, but it will be equally groansome from a gamers perspective. Coining that
Daft Posted May 19, 2013 Posted May 19, 2013 I think a lot of people will be surprised. Expectations have never been so low. I suspect it won't really speak to me and Microsoft would have made desperate cynical attempts to sign "awesome" exclusives. I hope there's enough to keep Sony on their toes. Don't want them to get complacent.
dwarf Posted May 20, 2013 Posted May 20, 2013 Fifa 14 is going to make an appearance at the Xbox conference. YAWN.
lostmario Posted May 20, 2013 Posted May 20, 2013 Fifa 14 is going to make an appearance at the Xbox conference. YAWN. It'll be in EA's part of the conference, you know when they announce their unprecedented relationship with Microsoft!
liger05 Posted May 21, 2013 Posted May 21, 2013 I find it laughable how people wrote ms off simply due to the ps4 reveal. Suddenly MS become the prophet of doom and before anything was shown of the next Xbox they are written off. I think tonight and e3 MS will show more than enough quality games to get people excited.
Dog-amoto Posted May 21, 2013 Posted May 21, 2013 Fifa 14 is going to make an appearance at the Xbox conference. YAWN. I'll just wait for the Wii U version...

Suddenly MS become the prophet of doom and before anything was shown of the next Xbox they are written off. I think tonight and e3 MS will show more than enough quality games to get people excited. I find it laughable you think it's as simple as the PS4 putting people off Xbox. Microsoft did that all on their own and have been doing so for a couple years now.
