Actually, all in one system sound like it only does everything.

I want this console war to go into parody territory. It would be incredible to see Phil Spencer invade the PlayStation Experience Keynote with NWO Music.

Phil Spencer seeing that Tim Dog light.

Meanwhile at Nintendo:

 

[harSon]

What studios that Microsoft owns or have close relationships with, that we know of, could have a game ready for release - or at the very least - ready to show in the near future?

Gears collection could be it.

Honestly there is a lot of possible games we know nothing about.

competition is good folks

Twisted Pixel

Perhaps they will show the new studios stuff

It's okay, let it all out.

That would be epic in some way. Videogamemania confirm?

 

[GifGafIsTheBestGaf]

I can see a repeat of this:

c'mon Sackboy, is time to sack up

 

[ArjanN]

gotta announce the new Battletoads game somewhere

fixed.

 

[harSon]

Newly announced studios LXP, Platform Next, SOTA and (FUN)ction. The last 3 are studios pumping out smaller downloadable games. Twisted Pixel? Lift London has been around a while, and has yet to announce anything. Press Play? Rare? BigPark?

 

[Lactose_Intolerant]

The show is going to be so cheap

Are you the source on the smaller downloadable games for the 3 studios, or do you have a link?

TP finished Lococycle on 360 before XB1 launch and Double Helix did XB1/PC ports, they also teased their new IP in Lococycle images and they're hiring quite a lot atm, so it'll probably be announced next year. They might have moved to UE4 or Unity (more likely) too

Rare, I doubt before E3. BigPark do apps. LiftLondon are F2P touch devices game for at least their first project

 

[BlackBuzzard]

Last time Microsoft did an event we got Macklemore and not so subtle advertisements.

 

[sublimit]

Meanwhile at Nintendo:

I'd prefer to be with this Nintendo instead.

 

[Miles Quaritch]

Last time Microsoft did an event we got Macklemore and

Why aren't they eating?

Don't those poor people know McD's tastes like week old ass juice when it's cold?

 

[KefkaPalazzo]

Woot.

Early December is promising to be a fun time for gaming. Now we just need Nintendo to have a direct in that period, and we are set.

 

[BlackBuzzard]

Why aren't they eating?

Don't those poor people know McD's tastes like week old ass juice when it's cold?

They have stunt doubles to eat it for them.

 

[Tregard]

Hot damn, then all we'd need is a Nintendo Direct around that time for some serious Gaf crashes.

 

[Kouriozan]

I found the information on Wikipedia, which links to this:

And I doubt Lift London's games are exclusively for touch devices, especially since Microsoft has been making a major push for cross platform compatibility as of late.

Job hiring description for all the new studios point them as incubation studios. Generally incubation studios aren't going to churn out big retail titles.

Make this a reality.

I'd really be interested in a MS show though.

 

[BrianRoyale]

You clearly haven't had to suffer through a bag of Cool Ranch.

Ugh, just thinking about it is making me dry heave.

So what do you think of Taco Bell tacos using Doritos for shells?

 

[Trigonometrize.]

Microsoft will announce LendPlay at the event.

And a new service called Xbox Hue. No more crushed blacks!

 

[Nightengale]

How do you know they didnt always have an event planned for the end of the year? Phil Spencer said they had a lot of games planned for next year, its not like he suddenly found out all these games were coming his platform.

I don't. Maybe they have. My point was that MS was going to be at every major convention anyway at different levels of involvement. (They were at TGS too)

And there's E3 next year. Not to mention "a lot of games planned =/= a lot of unannounced games."

[Ushay]

*Prays for Phantom Dust Footage*

Prays with Silky, Damn I miss that game

 

[Hot Coldman]

why wouldn't they just do their own thing during a time when nothing else is going on

like fucking January

 

[Steverulez]

And there's E3 next year. Not to mention "a lot of games planned =/= a lot of unannounced games."

A lot of their announced games haven't been shown off that much either though, theres plenty of news that could go round

 

[harSon]

You can kind of see what seems to be Lift London's new game on their Twitter page: https://twitter.com/LiftLondon

The characters in the cover photo seem to be referenced through out their twitter page.

why wouldn't they just do their own thing during a time when nothing else is going on

To spur interest in their platform during the biggest month of the year for sales?

Classic GAF > internet > GAF.

I just want European X events back, is that too much to ask for?

 

[Ooccoo]

Show Banjo or don't even care.

And fix Halo MCC

 

[lukeskymac]

It's okay, let it all out.

That's really funny coming from you.

 

[Hockeymac18]

oh ho ho.

Anything you can do,
I can do better.
I can do anything
Better than you.

No, you can't.
Yes, I can. No, you can't.
Yes, I can. No, you can't.
Yes, I can,
Yes, I caaaan!

Pretty much this generation so far. Especially last year with Sony always one-upping MS. Makes for fun entertainment.

That's really it for the first half of 2015?

And to think I get nothing but shit when I say how dire Xbox One's release schedule for next year looks :/

I think X1's 2015 looks good, for the most part...it's just the first half seems very sparse, while the latter half is going to probably be crammed. I hope they either have some surprises or push something up...

But overall, I think 2015 will be a good year. I just wish MS would spread the love a bit beyond Q3-4.

 

[Hockeymac18]

edit: double post, sorry.

 

[Doffen]

I just want European X events back, is that too much to ask for?

Well first they need to acknowledge that Europe exist.

 

[Steverulez]

So, it seems like this isn't true:

pengy_gamer: @XboxP3 is it true you're planning a fan event with announcements for december around tga time?

XboxP3: @pengy_gamer I know Sony is doing a fan event in Dec. We don't have anything planned for that time. Will be cool to see what Sony shows.

Steverulez: @xboxp3 Hmm, so we'll be waiting until E3 time next year before we get more news/announcements etc?

XboxP3: @Steverulez Not sure yet. Right now just focused on what we are doing in 2014. I think we'll have news before E3.

 

[vesvci]

oh dear god, bunch of corporate sluts.

 

[labaronx]

They have stunt doubles to eat it for them.

LMAO

 

[LookAtMeGo]

Whats going to happen to GAF during all this madness?

 

[wachie]

So, it seems like this isn't true:

You think he's going to come out and admit it?

 

[orochi91]

You think he's going to come out and admit it?

?

Why wouldn't he?

Sony announced it a few months ahead.

MS has nothing to lose by admitting to an event at this moment.

 

[yurinka]

He just said 'something for fans', it can be just a beta or something. Doesn't sound as an event as big as important as Playstation Experience seems to be, with game announcements, panels with VIP and almost a hundred unreleased games to play.

What studios that Microsoft owns or have close relationships with, that we know of, could have a game ready for release - or at the very least - ready to show in the near future?

-Battletoads announcement CGI trailer(by Rare)
-Quantum Break playable version of the last gameplay video.
-Ori playable version
-Halo 5 MP beta playable
-Announcement of XBO Gears collection (outsorced, 360 games at 1080p 60fps with some extras)
-The rumored PC ports of Forza 2 and Sunset Overdrive that appeared in a store.

 

[yurinka]

double post, sorry.

 

[Nightengale]

You think he's going to come out and admit it?

Er, yes.

This isn't him admitting he bankrolled Shenmue 3 or SEKRET MEGATON X. They're merely talking about a fan event at that timing.

MS has never shied away from stating that they'll be at PAX, TGS, Gamescom, E3, etc.

 

[ThoughtsOfSpeaking]

These things takes months and months of planning and organisation. The worse thing Microsoft could do is slap together a halfhearted fan show just to match sony.


That said, if they can pull out a surprise at the VGAs they will.
