Take them with a grain of salt , just rumor apparently , but seems to be most likely .

Gears Of War2 Yummy Highlighted several point of interest .

When its E3 2007 ?

Somewhere around July

http://www.wiids.co.uk/2007/03/11/e3-2007-date-confirmed/

All this will be shown in the Microsoft Press Conference

Thought E3 was discontinued?

Nope , it just changed its pattern . Rather than allowing mass public to participate , the E3 now is only for authorized media , IIRC .

None-the-less , I assume we'll get the news however through the participating game sites .

E3 still have but it will not be as HUGE and HYPE as last time, its a smaller version now.

Well dat would be a treat. Looking forward to it then .

wonder if MS will give all the marketplace goodies like last year.

Woooohooooo Crimson Skies!!!!

Alot of sequel titles ... Fable 2, Ninja Gaiden 2, Viva Pinata 2 (opps .. this wan dun have )

I hate myself to be poisoned by console.

Then don't post ....

u sak wei breaktru

Dead Rising 2!

Breakthru u dumb rabbit

Gears of War 2? So fast? Definitely a super duper short teaser of a teaser...

where got trailer???

Wait for the E3 lar Michael They will showcase it there , then gamesites such as gamespot , ign etc will direct feed it to us .

woohoo! i was at E3 2006 and i hope i can go this year again.

dream on blake.. .

i expect something about Resident Evil 5, Lost odyssey and Dead Rising 2

oh dah balik ya. eh, don't hate the playa k?

actually, E3 is in a way better now. Its more focused, more concentrated and it gives the media more information than ever.

The last few E3s have gone on to become a fireworks showcase. Who can have the biggest booth, who has the prettiest girls..it wasn't about the games anymore..

but....Rare to showcase Banjo Kazooie 3! woohoo finallyyyyy..

No Gears Sequel at E3

Aiks...anyway, i just hope there are more new IP. New IP are always interesting....

Yeah ... read it somewhere else. Its just a rumor. Well .. back to GOW until Halo 3 shows up.

oogling all the game booth girls?

last year not so many babes la but paris hilton was there. not that i bother to check her out anyways.

i was busy checking out tony hawk on the vert ramp.

Damn cool , i always dreamt on going to e3 , or even tgs. Anyway that's why I said take it with grain of salt . Agreed that new ip is more interesting .

woohoo another perfect dark series! hope they don't make the same mistake on PDZ..

There are alot more Rare IPs waiting to be explore, don't think we gona see PDZ sequel anytime soon. (my guess)



Gametrailers.com bonus round - what Microsoft has in store for E3 this year.

Listen to the black guy, he got a point.
Did Microsoft cater too much to the hardcore group? Although they are trying to push the casual market but it's still not enough.
The first thing they should do is cut down the price of XBLA. No casual would pay for a game at that price!

I just hope Bomberman doesn't cost that much , at most 800ms please .

wow.. good info man...

i read a rumour stating that there is a sequel/prequel coming from the may edition of the xbox mag. not sure about this though, just rumours and hints. i saw a counter to the new game on a fansite and it counted to november 29th. Just gotta wait and see

[RUMOR] - Rock Band Exclusive to Xbox 360?

Halo Wars Demo Ready for E3


E3! E3! E3!



This post has been edited by PrivateJohn: Jul 11 2007, 07:58 AM

hmm a fourth xbox 360 SKU has been spotted at the E3 convention. It has a blacker colour as compared to the Elite Model.

Xbox E3 briefing day (and how you can watch or listen to it)

maybe there is angel view
or no lighting or maybe new 360

Moderator Chief , wat time here har?

Shiny eh.... it's the PS3-60!

Should be 11.30am here I think.

shiny if the machine got 3ROD in the mid of the show

Yup...11.30 am Malaysia time. Link for timezone
2 more hours!

i think that as it is on the other side of the 4, assuming the one on the far left is the elite, followed by the normal unit and then the cheapo core unit, this black one is the super cheapo wii killing unit?

It could be a cheaper version of the 360.Smart move MS.Don't initiate a price cut,make a cheaper console!Or cit could just be the dev. kit...

The feeds are up! Nothing much yet. Just some video montage like last year.

Engadget/joystiq also has it covered.

Refresh-button mashing time!

first piece of hard news: from New York Time



= cars and pirates XBox live
= Resident Evil on Xbox 360



Microsoft Plays Up Family Appeal of Xbox

Opening the annual E3 game conference here, Microsoft executives announced a deal to distribute films from the Walt Disney Company on Microsoft's Xbox Live Internet service and outlined a broader array of games focused mostly on children and families.

Executives predicted that the company's recently announced plan to spend up to $1.15 billion to fix defective Xbox 360 game machine would improve, not undermine, the system's image with consumers.

"The important impact for us is that our customers know we're going to support the console and support them and if they have issues, we'll take care of it," said Robert J. Bach, president of Microsoft's entertainment and devices division, in an interview. "It won't change what's happening in the marketplace because the industry is about the games and we think we have the games that will get people really excited this year."

As the game industry's growth has slowed in recent years, game developers have tried to reach beyond the young male players who have been the target audience.

"We believe we have the best game lineup in video-game history for the holiday season," said Mr. Bach. "You can look top to bottom and we think we have the goods to please any type of gamer."

Part of Microsoft's strategy has been to position the Xbox 360 as a living room media hub and an essential element of that plan has been allowing users to download films and television shows to the machine. Adding Disney to the roster of companies distributing movies and video programming over the Xbox Live service should help broaden the appeal of the game system to families with children.

The same could be said of the new games Microsoft announced here, including a new installment of the company's Viva Pinata game and a version of the Scene It? board game. Scene It? will come with a new controller for the Xbox 360 with large buttons and a simple layout that game novices, intimidated by a traditional game controller, may find easier to use

"Part of our strategy is we want to win this generation and in order to do that we have to expand beyond the core gamer audience that we've had success with and that means appealing to the broad consumer market," said Shane Kim, general manager of Microsoft Game Studios.

The company also said it was developing a keyboard for the Xbox 360 controller. Currently, Xbox Live users send text messages using an on-screen keyboard. The company recently announced plans to integrate the popular Windows Live Messenger service with Xbox Live.

But even as Microsoft hopes to appeal to new sorts of users, the company wants to avoid neglecting the serious player. So Microsoft also said that the next version of the popular Resident Evil series from Capcom of Japan would also be designed to run on the Xbox 360.

In the past, Resident Evil games have run only on Nintendo and Sony consoles. Persuading Capcom to develop games for the Xbox 360 underlines the success Microsoft has had recently in attracting Japanese developers who had shied away from the American console.

When the first few seconds of RE5, i thought it was MGS4, lol

This is will be a good year for Xbox 360... if it's not because of the 3ROD problem, I can safely shout that I'm a proud owner of Xbox 360!

Microsoft definite let the software do the talking this time. the line up is amazing.

That's reserved for mayatsan .... as are all things pink.

guess he left me with no choice must cat fight with him them

judge-the: Wow..never knew where was such a soft side from the-Judge XP

Not very exciting MS conference because nothing new or surprising, but doesn't mean it suck.
It's like Microsoft to customer "Guys, this Holiday we got this, this, this & this game...go get 'em boiz!"

Solid conference i guess. Halo 3 Halo 3 Halo 3!

The Halo 3 short film by director Neill Blomkamp kinda give me the goose bump though.

Highlight of the show.
