Microsoft E3

[Wootzeh]

Just a thread to discuss Microsoft's press conference today at 4:30PM
what do you think they're gonna announce?
rumours about the xbox getting a whole new interface.

[Tom-]

:O

new xbox :o

[Neil]

Definitly expecting to see Fable 2, that's all I really care about xD

I have heard things of a 3D dashboard coming but I have high doubts about that, aswell as the new controller "Darwin" something might come up for that aswell

[Wootzeh]

oops its at 6:30pm not 4:30 :p

[---MAD---]

Is that BST?

[Wootzeh]

[GearsOfWar]

Halo 4 will be announced apparently. :P

[Jord]

Prob a game, wont be gears 2 they've done that,


Prob fable 2, saints row 2, halo 4


all the big name games

[Technologic]

I'm guessing here but i wouldn't be surprised if they announced a new version of the 360 with built in features, e.g wireless and a bigger hdd

[Ekalb]

Arent they announcing the 60gb xbox and showing off all its newness?

Also Halo 4? What about Halo Wars?

[Wootzeh]

They announced 60gb yesterday, and 20gb gets price cut.

Earlier this month, we heard a rumour that Microsoft were going to be unveiling a new Halo game at E3. A new Halo game with a twist: there'd be no Master Chief. That rumour's just picked up a little more steam, with GameSpot reporting that - according to "a source with knowledge of the studio's development slate" - Bungie will be announcing a new Halo game "sometime this year" (so not necessarily at E3). This game will be a "darker, grittier" Halo game, featuring a squad of human soldiers and gameplay that's "a cross between Ghost Recon and Gears of War". If Bungie are developing, that's exciting! But we'll wait for confirmation before popping the champagne corks, thanks.

[GearsOfWar]

I reckon it will be:

Halo 4
Halo Wars
Fable 2
Saints Row 2
Gears of War 2 which may be campaign info and more multiplayer info.

[Ekalb]

ooo interesting, probably won't be the 'traditional' halo game but hopefully it still has a lot of the fun and good design the others had.

I wanna find out more about HAWX aswell, it damn well better have a first-person cockpit view because the gameplay trailer showed it only as 3rd person.

[Agent 47]

Bungie's "Superintendent".

[Wootzeh]

It starts in 7minutes btw.

NEW XBOX INTERFACE & MII RIP-OFF'S

[c[__]]

Id rather have gamerpics then silly little icons, personally.

[PaulMacC]

Banjoo Kazooie original on Xbox Live this fall.

[GearsOfWar]

Where can I watch this from the beggining?

[Coheed&Cambria]

A new halo indefinatly. Heres what ive found out upto now-

1. In the latest podcast, someone from bungie said "arent we announcing something big on monday the 14th?" And someone replied saying " Well just have to find out, come this E3 2008."

2. In the new avatars for your bungie.net profile, theres some pics there that ive not seen in any bungie games before, Maybe its a clue to a new game?

3. Bungie are at E3, its luke and shishka, and basiclly its gonna be something big if its luke and shishka lol.

4. Bungie.net under maintenece, maybe revamping the site for the "new game"?

And GOW 2 looks amazing. I missed the new icons, what are they like? And fallout 3 looks pretty intense.

[PaulMacC]

FINAL FANTASY 13 (XII) UNVEILED FOR XBOX360!
BEST ANNOUCEMENT SO FAR IMO.

[Fez]

FFXIII OMG, WE'RE RUINED

[PaulMacC]

FFXIII OMG, WE'RE RUINED
And to think I was going to buy a PS3 for FF 13 alone!

[MrPinkPanther]

I loved how they said now for something innovative and it was Wiiesque 'content channels' and Miis.

Overall I was pretty unimpressed. Im sorry but a new UNO game doesnt deserve a place in a major company keynote lol.

[Pyroka]

I liked it.

Uno is a trademark game for 360 arcade, everyoen loves it and recognises it, it's just funny and relatable. :P I loved the whole thing actually, espesh the gears part, I wanted more. <3

[Favourtism]

OMG at the new dashboard and avarars/ Looks real complicated but amazin
