E3 can wait. We have GDC right around the corner!

All the info and leaks these past few days:
Irrational shut down
SSM game canceled
Amy leaving ND
Jack leaving Sony
Batman
Watchdogs date
+more

It feels like there is a lot of energy in the industry right now. Like stuffs happening. I think GDC could have a lot of news compared to previous years.

I wonder what approach MS will take at E3 though?

Well, Phil said that it would be game centric like last years. So it should pretty much be back to back trailers and announcements with very little talking in between. And he said that they couldn't fit everything they had to show into the 90 minute press conference, so they're be announcing stuff throughout the week. 

As for the 90 minute show itself, they definitely need to show AAA stuff. And they need to show some Kinect stuff, because there are quite a few people that see the Kinect as a $100-$150 paperweight, and Microsoft needs to prove to them that the Kinect is worth the added cost, but on the other hand, they can't show too much Kinect stuff because they've been criticized for that in the past. And since they're limited to 90 minutes, they should probably do an indie montage instead of showing each indie, and then give proper demos or trailers for those indies later in the week. And they probably need to devote at least 10 minutes to Xbox TV.

I just hope they don't have some singer there... no Bieber, or Usher, Miley...

I understand that they need to show some casual stuff, but I hope they just fire off trailer/demo, after demo. Hopefully we get some new stuff as well. I fully expect Quantum Break, Overdrive, Halo, and a few others. Maybe Gear will show something, as well as maybe a new game from Rare. I'm trying to keep expectations in check though.

@seece I agree with you few indie's are just awesome but many of them are getting hype without any reason just because they are on ps not Xbox one.

What games are you thinking of?

Really the only PS4 indies getting hype are the witness and Rime. Everybody's gone to rapture got some hype when it was first revealed but that's it.

Don't those games deserve the hype though? They all look great.





^nice lol

Love the sig too btw
