[TH3 GAM3]

So M$ is going first this time?

[THUGGEDOUT]

I'm not familiar with how E3 is done, is a pre-E3 press conference normal or is this something special Microsoft have done to announce something potentially big?

[AJe]

The big 3 all do Pre-E3 conferences to show off their new hardware/games/etc.

[TH3 GAM3]

They usually show off some current and new games but any major announcements are announce during their keynote. My question is, when are the keynotes?!

[AJe]

These dates/times are the keynotes

[THUGGEDOUT]

Okay, if they are doing a pre-E3 conference, what generally happens at the actual start and during E3?

[TH3 GAM3]

These dates/times are the keynotes
Oh, my fault AJe. Thanks for the heads up.

[AJe]

Okay, if they are doing a pre-E3 conference, what generally happens at the actual start and during E3?

During E3 there's loads of private meetings/showcases.

Also there's the main show floor where Press/Media can try out games to report on.

Other companies like Konami/Square Enix/EA hold their own conferences showing off their new games.

[Switch]

I wonder if $ony will be attending the Microsoft keynote :-)

[Linkedscorpion]

I wonder if will be attending the Microsoft keynote :-)

with an idea list notepad, lol

sorry couldnt help myself

[Beemer]

MS went first last year. MS was friday night, Sony saturday morning and nintendo saturday afternoon.

[NinjaFridge]

MS went first last year. MS was friday night, Sony saturday morning and nintendo saturday afternoon.

No. Microsoft were Tuesday night, Nintendo were Wednesday Morning and Sony were last, just after Nintendo.

[Beemer]

No. Microsoft were Tuesday night, Nintendo were Wednesday Morning and Sony were last, just after Nintendo.

My bad, Nintendo did go before Sony. I remember that MS went first though, the night before the other two.

[Carl]

All i remember about any of last year's E3 is Sony talking through their HOME avatars, and Killzone2. Oh and Nintendo doing almost an entire show on WiiFit.

Not much of MS comes to mind though.

You don't remember the scripted Madden game with Reggie Bush?

Also, CliffyB talking Gears PC, a Halo trailer, Rock Band demonstration, Mass Effect, some numbers and Halo Edition SKU.

Who's giving the MS keynote? Peter Moore is gone!:shock:

[DOGG]

Probably Shane Kim. I hope not; I can't stand him.

Oh yeah, now i remember.

I'm wondering the same thign about Sony, with Phil gone. Seems they've both lost their best speakers.

[NinjaFridge]

I assume the new guy will be doing it, hope he does a good job

[Beemer]

Probably Shane Kim. I hope not; I can't stand him.

Yea, his media and PR outings have not been good. Anyone remember when Shane though it was huge news RE5 was going to be on the 360? Only to find out its was announced over 2 years before!:snicker

Another option is Jeff Bell I think. Hard to replace Peter Moore and Phil Harrison though. They were both great speakers and PR guys.

Jeff Bell doesn't work for Microsoft anymore. He left last month.

Aaron Greenberg is an option i suppose but the guy spends more time talking about SONY and Nintendo than he does about XBOX.

[X2]

It will be Don Mattrick the guy that took over Peter job.

[Agriel]

25 mins til the press event starts, so get ready guys

[AJe]

Talk about the Press Conference and what Microsoft announce in here.

[LeisureSuitLarry]

It will be Don Mattrick the guy that took over Peter job.

Man, I already miss Peter Moore. That dude was smooth.

[mankind]

I want to watch this, do I just go to the sites listed and watch from there even though im not regestered?

[AJe]

Yeah that should be all you need to do

[Carl]

Cool i'll watch it even though i don't really care what happens. Quite excited though for some reason :p

[Sonyfanboy-uk]

well looks like gamespot and screwattack both died

[:mn:]

well looks like gamespot and screwattack both died
hmmm that sucks that gamespot is showing problems before it even started lol

[Carl]

Hardly surprising really. I was waiting for it to happen.

[Sonyfanboy-uk]

[Brinn]

Yeah... I am taping it off of G4... I will watch it when I get home.

[AJe]

[Sonyfanboy-uk]

Good to know as mine is black aswell thought my tab was screwed

[LeisureSuitLarry]

[Fredag]

[rockousaf]

[Infinite Daremo]

[samven582]

[LeisureSuitLarry]

I didn't refresh, but it changed to the pulse/logo thing on its own. I dunno. I'm a paying subscriber to IGN so....ya know....dis crap better work. :twisted:

[Agriel]

the heart beat thing is annoying, and yes G4TV coverage sucks its really bad choppy

[Nuvian]

I got the pulse logo aswell, i was hoping it went up a 10mins before at least so we know it's working.

[LeisureSuitLarry]

[Dibbz]
