Not sure if posted or not. Ms has a huge space at gdc. Much bigger than sony, more than double from the looks of it.

I guess gears being shown off at gdc is a possibility then.



I hope they show something, gaming related.

Like Shenmue 3, Lost Odyssey 2 or Persona 5 port. (I know, I know..)

Maybe those 2 mysterious games coming before September.

Do Microsoft usually announce any games between now and E3?

I think one of the Fable games was announced at GDC in March, and I think Gears 3 was announced at GDC as well. I can't think of anything else that was announced between now and E3 though, probably some smaller indie/arcade exclusives.

The rumored exclusive announcement this week could be MS, but I doubt it is. Then again, Phil did suggest that there'd be "payback" for Sony getting Street Fighter as an exclusive, so I guess it could be a 3rd party exclusive announcement. 


He really said that? Link?



Proud to be a Californian.

Bioware Edmonton, the Mass Effect 1-3 team is the same team that made KOTOR and Jade Empire, it was headed up by Casey Hudson until he left Bioware last year, not sure who heads up that team now. There are either 2 or 3 teams at Bioware Edmonton currently. One of the teams developed DA: I, they should hopefully be starting on a new project right now. Another team started work on a new IP almost a year ago (the new IP they announced at E3 last year). And then there's a possible 3rd team, which is hopefully working on a Star Wars game.  It's hard to tell which team is which though. Timing and KOTOR experience suggest that the KOTOR/Jade Empire/Mass Effect 1-3 team would be the ones to work on the new Star Wars game, they finished Mass Effect 3 DLC just 2 months before EA announced the Star Wars deal and suggested that Bioware would be working on a new Star Wars game. If they started on it right away, that would mean that it would have 2 years of development by E3 this year, which means it could possibly be announced at E3 alongside Visceral's Star Wars game.


All this bioware talk makes me think of when ms had the chance to buy them and didn't. They are big enough and talented enough that they can pump out a 90+ game on a yearly bases. Imagine if ms had all their RPGs plus halo, gears, forza ect. It would have been a blood bath.

Alright guys, its 6:30 in the morning in New York meaning that it's time for me to leave to the hospital soon. My surgery is later in the day but they want me in early for some reason. Just wanted to let everyone know I'll be gone for a day or two. Love to my fellow Xbox fans!


I don't know what your going in for, hopefully its not serious and you recover quick. Missing you already :(


It was a routine surgery to help treat my disease and prepare me for a much larger one in May. Glad to say it went smoothly and I was back home the same evening. Took a nice long nap and now here I am!

Evolve 83 Metacritic so far - http://www.metacritic.com/game/pc/evolve

Not bad for Evolve, mid 80's this gen is 90+ last gen.


Anyone getting this besides me? 

 

Good luck Dex. I've had surgery twice and honestly with that anesthesia it was the best sleep I've ever had lol. Good luck again 

 

Counting just the times I've been under anesthesia, this is probably like the 100th time xD

I've had around 60 major operations in my life and then a bunch of small ones like today. The sleep is great but I always get headaches after I wake up and I used to vomit a lot too when I was younger.

Well, not exactly, but what he said was pretty close to that.

@broggiedoge Love the idea of game franchise bartering, I'll work on making amends for SF.


Well it can be a first party Ip like Banjo and not a third party Ip. They should put money in Ips they own and not making bullshit time exclusive deals like Tomb Raider. In the long turn you can only win when you have a great amount of owning Ips. Many people would not buy the xbox when key franchises like Halo, Forza and Gears are missing. This cant be replaced with third party deals stuff. Besides that they sould focusing to find the next big thing for them because until today i see nothing on the Xbox One in this regard. Xbox  hab Halo, PGR, Fable, Forza impacts mixed with a lot of another great owning exclusives, Xbox 360 had only Gears and State of Decay ( very late in the gen )  impacts mixed with another great owning exclusives and many bad decisions like producing games and not owning the Ips. Many people were affraid Gears would come to PS.  In that regard they are making a better job on the Xbox One because many games they are producing are Microsoft owning Ips. Till today on the One they have made one big mistake and it was not securing the rights of Ryse from the start. Now they can do nothing with this Ip.  In that regard they are better and should stay that way forever but what Xbox One have been missing is the next big thing like Halo, Forza, Gears, State of Decay Ip ? Killer Instinct have a huge impact at Xbox One but only one Ip will not be enough.  Maybe Quantum Break or Scalebound from the new Ips will  have this impact? We will see.
