although i am looking forward to more gears 2 news, i don't think this is the rght place for it. It's bad enough the 3 big studios are gunna be there overshadowing some potential talent of upcoming devs. Why does MSFT have to show potentially big games (ones halo and gears 2) to steal the spotlight from these hard workers :S. I don't think MSFT, Sony, or Ninty should be there to show of their next big blockbusters it just doesn't make sense, its like having a sports competition between kids and 3 professional adult players are entered to compete against them.

Freckler6462d ago

I agree with Joe, a quick Google of PAX shows it to be an indie developers affair. There likely won't be any earth shattering announcements. It's probably Penny Arcade Episode 2.

no no please be GoldenEye for Xbox live!

SCThor6462d ago (Edited 6462d ago )

There is your answer.

Yeah, MS is really smart to release a BIG title in a small-time expo(small compared to e3,tgs or gc) /sarcasm

MS always have an ace up their sleeve.

Greysturm6463d ago

People/Fanboys always suppose microsoft/sony has an ace up its sleeve at every gameshow. Last year all we heard after some dissapointing showings was microsoft had an ace up its sleeve and that didnt proove true until e3 in which sony fans started with sony has an ace up its sleeve and now after leipzig since microsoft had zilch to anounce we are back at point 1.

Pain6462d ago

It's M$.. only brain dead followers believe M$ invents or innovates.

"Ms always has an ace up their sleeve"

Or a couple cashier checks.

SpecialSauce6462d ago

MS: today we would like to be announcing something the we believe increases the excitement on xbox console.... something completely unique to the xbox family. i like to introduce "house". house is something we have been working a long time on. house is a 3d interactive environment were u and other gamers can pretend u all own a ps3 and create ur own space which we creatively called ur "house" and then use ur new cartoon looking avatars and then dress them so that they look like cartoon dolls so that u can walk a round ur "house". this is something we believe is very "innovative", whatever that means, and exclusive to the xbox 36o.

thats what MS will have for surprise. enjoy ur knock off sony apps.

well we know it not something to do with Halo, because MS said they want to have a special event for Bungie next Halo game. So we can rule out Halo "4"

Johnny Cullen6463d ago

I forgot about that.

Another theory seems to have popped in my mind though.

Would it be the Motion Sensor stuff? Yes, I know its been heard millions of times and maybe MS were gonna unveil it at E3 but dropped it along with Halo and decided to put it in somewhere else to surprise us a little at least.

Freckler6462d ago

Hey you might be onto something there.

Blitzed6462d ago

That doesn't fall in line with it being a show for Indie work, but for 2 days?! It has to be something more Tha Penny Arcade 2.

"Gaming’s Biggest Fighting Franchise"

Press X to (seriously) doubt.

Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.

And then MK1 killed it again.

15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.

The name "Hewson" carries a special weight for anyone who grew up during the golden age of British computing. As the son of Andrew Hewson—the man behind legendary publisher Hewson Consultants—Rob Hewson didn't just grow up playing video games; he learned to spell his name from their title screens. However, Rob didn't just rest on his family's 8-bit laurels. From leading major LEGO franchises at TT Games to tackling the high-stakes world of technical porting at Huey Games, Rob has carved out a unique path in an ever-evolving industry. In this candid interview Rob to discussed the burden and beauty of a family legacy, the technical "scar tissue" left by the ambitious Hydrophobia, and why porting a masterpiece like Inscryption to consoles is far more than a simple copy-paste job.
