Does anyone care about the Microsoft conference tomorrow?

They're gonna show off the Xbox Infinity/Alive/Durango/720.

So, yeah. It's interesting I guess.

I wish they'd called it the Durango. I mean seriously, that is an awesome name and it sounds like Django(as in Django Unchained)

No.

Durango isn't a good name, I'd prefer 720 over that any day.

Maybe I've gotten cynical in age or something, but I am not looking forward to anything about the next gen of consoles.
I hope Microsoft can surprise me at least.

Most of it will be about CoD Ghosts and the Next Gen FIFA. The rest will not be about games, it'll be about the AMAZING OPTIONS FOR MOVIES, STREAMING, AND SOCIAL MEDIA, A NEW GENERATION OF ENTERTAINMENT.

Then maybe Bethesda announces Skyrim II or something dumb like that.

I'm not really sure what they'll have going for them IP wise. Unfortunately, I haven't been following it. I'm confident I'll be going with Sony again this generation. I think I remember reading about a rumored Xbox-controller successor for this new console though, so I'm intrigued.

Maybe they'll move to computer finally.

Isn't GOW finished though?

Anyway, I'm partly interested right now but pretty skeptical. I assume they're going to show Halo 5 gameplay, maybe Destiny and definitely Ghosts.

The main course, of course, is how we can use it for stuff phones do better because typing with a controller is hideous.

The English version of Tales of Vesperia is a Xbox exclusive, as is all Rare games post-Nintendo. Granted, Xbox easily has the weakest exclusive library, especially when you add PC to the mix.

Anyways, I doubt the Xbox 3 will offer anything to make me change my no Microsfot lifestyle.

Still pinning all of my next gen hopes on the 3Ds and Vita.

I can get over lack of backwards compatibly, but lack of used games and online demands just put Microsoft beneath Sony who confirmed that used games are acceptable and the system doesn't need a constant connection concerning the PS4. For gamers that like third party support but have a weaker PC and lack proper means to enhance it properly or just prefer consoles, it would be a terrible financial decision to even purchase Xbox One, considering multi-platform third party games aren't something most people fork over full price for--I know I don't. I'm definitely purchasing the PS4 instead; not that I had any real doubt before. I bought my brothers a WiiU, so anything coming from Nintendo I'll already see. I think I'm covered without even batting an eye at this, unless I have someone build a PC for me (my laptop is definitely nothing compared to even a standard desktop), as there is definitely better handicapped accessibility there than anywhere else, but I don't think I could resist Sony's inventive LBP caliber IPs.

tl;dr I'll just continue my trend of following Sony and Nintendo, Microsoft.

My best friend and I do play tests for Microsoft every 3 months.
About 10 months ago we tested out 6 different controllers, and this was one of them.
We both hated this controller. It was too big and the buttons were too far apart. It was awkward to hold and the finger grips on the other side we're actually painful to hold onto.

I hope they changed some of the things about this, but it looks exactly like it did in testing.
(Don't be fooled, if its the controller I tested it looks fine but feels HORRIBLE.)

Maybe Microsoft had this epiphany that PC gaming is the future, but due to the hardcore Xbox fans, they had to shove them away. I know that's what's happened to my friends.

oh boy this should be fun

to be honest i'm not excited about ANY of this yet
no big games, no big new features, no amazingly HD stuff
i'm still waiting for E3 though
i saw some forza gameplay in that xbox teaser
that's hopefully going to be so-hd-that-real-life-looks-average good

also that's really cool kausa, testing out stuff like that

^ :3 Thanks!
Its one of the perks of living 2 hours away from their headquarters.

I also tested the new dashboard their using now, and the bing searchy thing.
Oh and Dance Central 3!
My friend Kiddy tested out Battlefield 3 and stabbed a rat.
We were both going to test Assassins Creed 4 last month but we both couldn't make it :c
They give you really good rewards. Free games and xbox live. And tons of programs too. I got office once and thats like $500.

^Considering that much of the mentioned "Free stuff" is things Microsoft's competition offers to the public for free, it does not sound like much of a deal. Then again, considering Microsoft's product offering, they seem like a company where being an unpaid limited beta tester would be more of a chore than a cool way to play stuff before everyone else.

Considering Microsoft's track record, not of the bad ideas confirmed for the new Xbox come as a surprise.

And no press conference for Nintendo! :c Looks like I don't care about E3 this year.

The only good thing coming for it is that an Xbox executive said they were brining back a "historic RARE franchise." I'm not gonna get the system, but if it's Banjo-Kazooie, I might have to reconsider
