GamesCom Microsoft press conference liveblog

VG247: Here we go again. Hot on the heels of Sony's PS3 Slim announcement at GamesCom yesterday comes Microsoft witrh a 10.00am CET press conference.

Mr Molyneux's involved. He said last night he's going to show a new game. What on earth could it be?

That's 9.00am UK time and dead o'clock if you're in the US. Don't miss it. Hit the links for updates.

PS3 slim for $299

Sorry, I'm a bit distracted at the moment to care about M$' conference, but maybe they will address the one thing on my mind when it comes to the 360:

Your comment sounds more like an paranoid schizophrenic defense mechanism.

nightelfmohawk6174d ago (Edited 6174d ago )

*schizophrenic

Did your spellcheck RROD?

Edit: Nice edit from "scizofrenic" or whatever the hell you typed before, Lol!

Saaking6174d ago

I have no idea what you just said really duh, but MS has too have something HUGE to top Sony. A former exclusive going multiplat won't help them now.

really duh6174d ago

Flashing yellow lights for brains you two?

Saaking6174d ago

Have you been traumatized by those 3 red lights? You sound so...um...retarded.

MGSR THE HD VERSION6174d ago

ms has a habit of bring forth pain every time they show up for an even so i'm just gona sit, relax, and see how it unfolds.

Veneno6174d ago

Oh yeah, no one cares enough to dig in and find out about the future of 360.

Gamer11116174d ago

grow up and start acting like you at least 12

kaveti66166174d ago

Here you are again, displaying your other personality, making unbiased gamers sick and disturbed with your ridiculous comments about a video games machine that 5 years from now won't matter to anyone. Really, do you do this all the time? Do you make big scenes at the supermarket over coffee or orange juice? Are you a Nike guy who hates Adidas or the other way around? You truly are brainwashed to be so in love with a corporate product. It's a fuccing hunk of plastic. One day soon it will be obsolete. Are you gonna start arguing about PS4 vs Xbox 3? Because if you are, please, I know this plea may be futile, but please, I'm begging you to stop and rethink your life.

Saaking6174d ago

Alright, I'll stop trolling when I see all the bots stop trolling.

LordMarius6174d ago

you know what I really like is when the "neutral" side gets involved its just makes the fishing that much delicious
*slurp :D

Saaking6174d ago

Nobody is neutral. Deep down everyone's a fanboy, but I'm tired of bots trolling PS3 news.

Poopface the 2nd6174d ago (Edited 6174d ago )

your so confused by the amount of sony fanboys in here that you thought this was sony news!!!!

kaveti66166174d ago

No... deep down I really don't care about it. If deep down you even care about consoles and material possessions then I really can't comprehend it. On the surface, I really enjoy what both consoles have to offer. Obviously, every gamer can have a console that they prefer over the other. That's natural, but what is going on here is not normal. It's an abnormal, unhealthy obsession with hunks of plastic. I've said it a million times. I love games as much as anyone, but I'd step away from gaming completely if I ever became a fanboy. I even like the offerings of the Wii.

Saaking6174d ago

I wonder what MS will announce... are there any leaks... any previews... something!?!?

LordMarius6174d ago (Edited 6174d ago )

but why did they schedule it when their biggest market is asleep
mhmmm

well Sony did at 6PM, just right for the US to watch

Saaking6174d ago

Don't know, but I don't think they'd want to do it at midnight in Germany.

6174d ago
iamtehpwn6174d ago (Edited 6174d ago )

Leaks are never a bad thing for the excited gamer.
They're only bad for the company planning when to make things public.

EDIT:
I don't know why I got so many disagrees.
All I'm saying is, I like to know about things as soon as possible.
I don't see how that's a bad thing.

Rampant6174d ago

If Microsoft/Lionhead shows only one game it will be a better press conference for people who already own a 360 than Sonys was for people that already own a PS3.

RememberThe3576174d ago

MS always has something. Sony is having a really good time right now, we all know MS can't allow that. :)

topdawg1226174d ago

It's gonna be lionhead's first natal title i think

Tony P6174d ago (Edited 6174d ago )

Already so much stupid negativity here.

I love my consoles and I enjoy a good bit of the content on N4G, but I hate having to associate with the trashy fanboy communities they come with.

Edit: On topic, all I really know is that Lionhead has something to announce. I haven't read about MS specifically teasing much of anything new. Hoping for surprises.

AKNAA6174d ago

They have too! now that the PS3 is only $299, the elite is waaaay to expensive now!

likedamaster6174d ago

Anyway, hopefully 360 gamers will get some good news about Natal, a pricecut, and possibly some game anouncements, dates, etc.

Rampant6174d ago

Why would gamers that already own a 360 care about a price cut? I'm hoping Fable 3 is announced.

The Master Chief6174d ago

Does anyone know what time their confernce starts, Eastern time?

ThanatosDMC6174d ago

Time to drop the price of the arcade for $99... maybe that's their sweet spot to remain competitive???

I wonder what they might announce... i hope they say something megaton like when they jacked FF13 from Sony. It made N4G such a happy place that week.

Tony P6174d ago (Edited 6174d ago )

Conference is live right now.

Edit: FABLE 3 :O

The Master Chief6174d ago (Edited 6174d ago )

So now the list of games coming to hitting Xbox 360 looks something like this:

Fable III
Halo: Reach
Mass Effect 2
Alan Wake
Forza 3
GTA: Ballad of Tony Gay
Halo ODST
Half Life 2: Episode 3
Left 4 Dead 2
Splinter Cell: Conviction
Shadow Complex & a bunch of XBLA games
Natal
Gears of War 3 Announcement Incoming soon! =P

I know I forgot some, but man am I excited for Fable 3, especially hearing it will be different again, and I very much enjoyed Fable 2. There aren't many title's like Fable out there, if any.

Talking about Fable 3: "You are going to become the ruler of the whole of Albion. You've played in this land in Fable 1, in Fable 2 you became a hero; this time, why not rule Albion? Why not be a king or a queen?"

"You can "eradicate poverty" says Peter by giving all the money in your treasure room to the people. Or you can keep it all yourself and be more of a tyrant. The point is, there are always consequences."

Nice!

RememberThe3576174d ago (Edited 6174d ago )

Way to be ambitious Peter!

EDIT: Damn it, I was watching The Yakuza Papers, I can't go back now!

EDIT 2: Wait, thats it? All we get is Fable 3? I mean that was awesome, but come on MS!

iChaos Amongus6174d ago

"You are going to become the ruler of the whole of Albion. You've played in this land in Fable 1, in Fable 2 you became a hero; this time, why not rule Albion? Why not be a king or a queen?"

"You can "eradicate poverty" says Peter by giving all the money in your treasure room to the people. Or you can keep it all yourself and be more of a tyrant. The point is, there are always consequences."

lol That sounds crazy, I'm going to be the ultimate Dictator! You thought Stalin was intense, wait until I'm sitting on the Throne!

Great news.

Once Upon a Fable6174d ago

Read everything they are putting into Fable 3

http://www.eurogamer.net/ar...

You can judge people as King and even go visit their familes if they say their poor, to see if they are lying or not! Crazy!

Coming in 2010. I can't wait, my #1 game!!!!!

uie4rhig6174d ago

1 hour! so much info.. but seriously.. just fable? this is more of a lionheads keynote than a microsoft keynote!

Christopher6173d ago (Edited 6173d ago )

First, if you think that these conferences are just for people who own the consoles and not for the most recent and important news that will help to get it into more people's hands, then you're delusional. This is all marketing, at not both current and future owners of the consoles.

Second, Molyneaux can offer the sun and the sky once again, but can he actually deliver on a game that just isn't a good and evil bar? I mean, honestly, I could change my weight, alignment, and my dog just by eating a few food items in Fable 2. This after Peter said our actions would change who we are and be reflected on by the population. Great, but do you need to make it so freaking easy to go from one end of the spectrum to the other? With all he's promising in Fable 3, it sounds just like his rantings before Fable and Fable 2, both of which failed to deliver on anything worthwhile in regards to world manipulation and character growth.

Boody-Bandit6173d ago (Edited 6173d ago )

Is the conference tonight at 3am EST NA?

oh I know cuz they have nothing interesting to show

Saaking6174d ago

To hide the shame they'll go through.

Madis0076174d ago

Sony is better but 1 question:
How Sony can always leak something?
They leaked PS3 slim,PSP GO and other things. How microsoft cant?

Sunny_D6174d ago

I think it's just that Sony is just more exciting to hear from with their innovative awesome showcases. So, the more people who are curious, the easier it is to get leaks. Curiosity killed the Cat.

JonnyBigBoss6174d ago

Sony didn't leak the slim. People were just expecting it. All of the "leaked" images were fakes, and the only factual piece was the 30 second video in the Philippines, which was hardly Sony's problem.

6174d ago
Morbid Bulldozer6174d ago

@jleack: Jesus, dude, enough with the constant spin and denial. Sony didn't leak Slim? We knew the exact price, box art and the look of the new SKU weeks (in case of the box - months) in advance. How come you're unable to enjoy some good Sony news like a gamer without spreading BS and denying even the most insignificant Sony mistakes?

randomwiz6174d ago

If sony wanteed to leak the ps3, there's no point in using a pseudonym to get the FCC approval of the ps3 slim

"Gaming’s Biggest Fighting Franchise"

Press X to (seriously) doubt.

DarXyde83d ago

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.

Soy84d ago

And then MK1 killed it again.

DivineHand12583d ago (Edited 83d ago )

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

Pixels in the Blood: The Journey of Rob Hewson

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.
