I would love to see Ballmer do this again for the Xbox event.
Here we go...
No question after that Major Nelson comment.
The biggest question is if we will have another Kaz like blowout? I don't think it'll be Mattrick, but I could see a Ballmerfied? Won't match the awe inspiring Playstation Meeting Thread sadly.
In the UK, the non gaming press, nearly all took the piss by the non show of the PS4 at the PS4 launch especially the BBC. MS would be nuts to do like wise.
One thing we can be sure. They'll have a case to show.
Forza Horizon 2 with a fully online mmo world and a first person movement in and outside the car please!
Sonygaf reaction:
So who wants to have their avatar Don-ified?
They should, he's pretty good on stage.Why not use Phil Harrison? He works for Xbox EU.
If their 4 new IPs don't deliver between this presentation and E3 my hype level for Xbox will be next to zero.Is anyone else less hyped about MS's unveiling of Durango? After PS4, I just don't have it in me.
My avatar is already Ballmer'fied.
Wait, am I supposed to have Ballmer or Mattrick on my avatar?
Will they reveal the price however? Save it for E3 is my guess.

That would be the biggest possible surprise for me, honestly. I think they'll both wait for E3 to announce at the same event without leaving room to the opponent to make final hour adjustments. Not that I expect great price differences on the hardware, but in terms of services they will offer very different models of business and pricing.
Let's do this thing!
WOO HYPETRAIN!! WHO'S WITH ME!?

How in the hell do you find this stuff out, OP?! That's some real P.I. shit right there.
360 pricing wasnt revealed until well after E3 if I remember correctly. I think August. Be interesting if they follow a similar model.Will they reveal the price however? Save it for E3 is my guess.
If Microsoft shows Kinect in any form my hype levels will be very low for the system. They need to focus on games for core gamers or I'll be disappointed.
Please don't pack Kinect in with the system.
It will be a much better event. So don't worry.
Sonygaf reaction:
Killzone (4) shown = "Looks amazing wow, can't wait."
Halo (5) shown = "All Microsoft shows is rehashed crap sequels!"
Final Fantasy XXXXVIII shown = "Wow, can't wait!@#!!"
Fable (4) shown = "Give up already Microsoft, nothing but sequels, ugh!"
All hypothetical of course, lol.
Meh, the only thing I have feels for is Alan Wake and PGR. I can't see the MS conference being too exciting. Prove me wrong MS. PROVE ME.
Apple II, Commodore 64 and PC-DOS:Wait I heard Mattrick actually developed games back in the Atari days. I'm I getting that right?
Mattrick founded DSI in 1982 at the age of 17 by personally developing games like Evolution[12] and Test Drive for the Apple II, Comodore 64, and PC-DOS
I explained myself on page 2 I think.
Of course they are going to show the new kinect, just like Sony showed their camera system.
I bet the services both consoles will offer will be very similar as will the pricing structure.

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.
