While I don't totally agree with the kneejerk reaction (my foundation was rocked Seeco, but I'm waiting for E3) it's still funny.

I'm leery, but I'm waiting for E3. Some gut feeling of mine tells me it's not going to be as bad as the worst-case scenario people are claiming it will be. It's gotten to the point where it's like the Nostradamus of video games.

I like it when people use the word "gay" in any context other than a homosexual one - it only proves that they have the maturity of a five year old, as if their obsession with shooters didn't already do a good job of pointing that out. It's also pretty amusing that he pointed out Skyrim considering the fact that, y'know, it's set in the bloody medival era and doesn't even have muskets, let alone generic modern firearms.

But just for fun, let's play around with his logic a bit.

game - gun = gay
game + gun = -gay
game + gun + Arem = ???

And now they're saying that indies can still make and self publish games on the XBoner. I think they're deliberately fucking with the media just to see how people react so they can backpedal accordingly.

We're certainly talking about the Xboner. PS4 needs to release SOMETHING before E3 to at least claim part of the spotlight going in.

Well, Microsoft is feeling pretty confident about E3.

Quote:
 
Microsoft seem to be raring to go at Sony and prove a point at E3 this year. Their Xbox One reveal conference turned out to be disappointing for most people, but it looks like they have yet to reveal a lot of things.

This shouldn’t be a surprise, really, because the company has spent $1 billion on Xbox One games. Will Sony match that amount of spending by Microsoft? We will see at E3, however, Microsoft is looking extremely confident based on the comments of Craig Davidson, who is the director of global marketing at the company.

“Xbox One will surprise the world during E3,” Davidson said in a recent interview, and added, “We will kill Sony at E3″.

This seems to be something that Ken Kutaragi would have said and such arrogance does not bode well for the company. However, they seem to be motivated and that’s a good thing.

Earlier Microsoft’s Aaron Greenberg had said that they are definitely listening to fan feedback and said that E3 is all about games and they have a lot to share.
Wait, hold up. Let's see that one bit again.

Once more, just to let sanity die an undignified death.

hahahahahahahaha

I don't think it takes fucking Nostradamus to predict this is a remark that will come back to haunt Microsoft badly in a week's time.

I'm expecting fucking fireworks and blackjack (and hookers) to be present at E3 this year. This is getting too good at this point.

With all the frankly violent backpedalling Microsoft has been doing lately, it's clear they've been completely caught with their pants down, and with mere weeks until E3 after the reveal they've got an awful lot of bullshit to clean up and a ridiculous amount of sometimes conflicting promises to fulfill. All Sony (and I guess Nintendo by extension?) really has to do is 1) exist, 2) show games, and 3) not do what Microsoft is doing, and they've practically already won by default. Hell, Sony have already fulfilled 2 out of those 3, so I'm not particularly worried for them as far as E3 is concerned.

Word is that it's actually Killer Instinct, and a Kinect-driven one at that. Still banking on the tears of Rare fans at E3 either way though.

Sony already has a one up on Microsoft for, you know, talking about games during their conference. I don't think any old Rare property Microsoft has to offer up will really sway people that much. Even if they managed to bring out a half decent Banjo game, the majority of the intelligent people at Rare are gone and anything made by the current staff will be, as stated above, only half decent. Never forget Nuts and Bolts people, never forget.

>Kill the PS4

Let's see. PS4 actually has those mythical things called games that gamers actually care about, its specs are better and are handled far more efficiently than the XBoned (meaning better graphic power and processing power), and the PS4 doesn't come with the sheer level of bullshit that drives away consumer and developer alike.

Honestly, I will be very surprised if Microsoft doesn't go down in a flaming wreck this E3.
