Yes, it's predictable.
But one thing that wasn't predictable is the "GDDR5 isn't good for gamers" talk from Xboxgaf.
Let's see what they will say if MS change Durango's memory type.
Haha, arguing GDDR5 is not good is stupid.
I also see an explosion of "not interested/hype gone/not buying" if Kinect is flashed on the screen for more than 1/1000th of a millisecond. (from people that wouldn't buy anyway of course)
I think Fable NEEDS the power of next gen.
Would love to play a new Fable in more populated towns and all.
If the rumored Cable deals are true Microsoft will have a heavy subsidized option tied to your TV cable bill, that Sony won't be able to directly compete with. That was what I had in mind with that post.
His resume is very impressive for someone his age and in his position. I don't get the hate he receives, he's not crazy charismatic, but he's gotten the job done for MS.Yep, he actually designed and programmed the original Test Drive.
Wait I heard Mattrick actually developed games back in the Atari days. I'm I getting that right?
I disagree. I think Fable needs to be put to rest, especially when the creator of it is no longer with the company. And the Kinect on-rails game has damaged the brand to the point where I think it'd be in their best interests to develop a new IP at least.

How do you know they haven't already? The rumoured specs you've seen are over a year old. A lot can change in a year.
edit: unless...
Becuase The leaks we have seen has show Durango memory and bandwith are based around the move engine and the Esram. Sticking GDDR5 in it would require a complete redesign.
If anything PM held the series back. Now he's gone they can stop aiming too high, and make a much better designed game.
Yep, he actually designed and programmed the original Test Drive.
Why not use Phil Harrison? He works for Xbox EU.

THIS.I hope we see some fresh new faces on stage... totally sick of Mattrick & Co.
Ducks, everywhere.Ugh, more ducks?
Rubber Duck Racing. Rare's rumoured water racer is real.Ugh, more ducks?
THIS.
Ugh, I hate his smug face. I miss the Peter Moore days. Hell, get Phil up there. I like him.
Can someone Mattrickfy my avatar please? Would be appreciated ^_^
Just tried and failed to do this myself. Any chance some kind GAFer could put this Ballmer face on my avatar?
Yeah, this is reactionary to Sony.
People keep saying they've planned this months in advance are probably right to some degree but I really think they are feeling the pinch now.
We are in for interesting times.
Sony changed specs, so can Microsoft!MS is not going to change its memory type.
GamesWhat key aspects does Microsoft needs to work to put the Nextbox on the 1st place?

I think Lionhead would benefit from a new world with new rules and characters.
The goalposts have moved since the creation of Fable. We have RPGs like The Witcher, Dark Souls, Dragon's Dogma etc.
Microsoft needs more than "Fable" in my humble opinion.
In addition to games, something that makes GAF unhappy. MS has been good at introducing new shit that changes and impacts gaming as a whole. From broadband only, to downloadable console demos, to XBL/XBLA, to achievements, etc. Whatever it is it needs to be something other than "hey look a new console!".What key aspects does Microsoft needs to work to put the Nextbox on the 1st place?
Dammit I knew that was coming. Even worse, I knew it would be you lol

for message boards maybe, all the websites/magazines will be all over durango.I wonder if Sony will crash the party by announcing more PS4 games just after this event.
Sony still haven't announced games from Naughty Dog, Santa Monica, Ready at Dawn, Polophony and Last Guardian PS4 version. Of course they can save all that for E3, but it would be effective if they announced a few of those straight after MS conference.
Let's hope that it's something completely new. Fable IV can wait.Lionhead was said to be working on a new "MMO like" IP recently according to job postings.
agreed. Fable needs time to rest, so they can actually do something great with it.Let's hope that it's something completely new. Fable IV can wait.
