Forums - Microsoft - What will Microsoft's "E3 Megaton" be?

Porcupine_I on 01 June 2011

They bought Sony!

and Kaz Hirai and Jack Tretton will be demoing Kinect games in Clown costumes



“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”

No Megaton. Just like last year. No company will have a megaton this E3.

Square is respected?


My thoughts exactly.  It's amazing how much credit people are willing to give SE when they really haven't done a lot to deserve it lately, especially with the FF franchise.

  • FFXIII - It's not that it was bad, it's just that it wasn't anything memorable at all.  If any other no-name to mid-name studio had released that same exact game it would have been completely ignored.
  • FFvXIII - Can we say Duke Nukem Forever?
  • FFXIV - worst game this gen, unless you like paying $50 for a pre-alpha game to be released in 2013.
  • FFXIII - 2 - lol
  • FF Remakes - Ok, these are good and I'm sure a FFVII remake would make them insane amounts of money, but that doesn't really make me respect them at all as a developer.

They've been doing decently at best on portables but, again, doesn't really make me think they're anything special.  People just need to let go of nostalgia and realize that SE just isn't anything special anymore.

I think Xbox 360 at $99 is a big megaton in itself ... that or a big exclusive game, buying a big/unexpected dev ..

something to do with halo that i believe will release next fall maybe some more info on that crytek game

doubt sony or MS will announce price cuts at E3 unless there planing on introducing it right away like MS did last year so if anyone will do it this year it would be MS my guess would be 150 and 250 or more value to the current 200 and 300 packages

Would Killer Instinct,  Conker, Kameo or Perfect Dark do it for any of you guys?

Conker probably would, not sure about the others though.

The most plausible thing to predict is a Halo 4 trailer with Master Chief.



themanwithnoname's law: As an America's sales or NPD thread grows longer, the probabilty of the comment "America = World" [sarcasticly] being made approaches 1.
