Microsoft usually pulls out something for E3 and this year will be no different. But I'm actually very surprised that they are planning this far ahead already.

A year ago, a lot of people I know said the Xbox was dead in the water for 2008... but it seems that it turned out pretty good when everything was all said and done. That's why I have confidence going into 2009, even following the amazing years we've had before.

Could we possibly expect the announcement of the next microsoft console? Or is that too soon?

I would think they are going to be very careful about the timing of any announcements concerning their next console... don't want to take away from 360 sales that are still going on strong, after all.

I think this would be the most fun part about being a gaming exec, planning out the E3 announcements. Though it would be rather hard to keep a lid on all the exciting stuff.

Hope we hear something soon, next year seems kinda blank in my head.

Remember last year? Microsoft better get some quieter employees before E3 otherwise their whole lineup will be absolutely spoiled. They probably would've had the best keynote IF we hadn't known over 75% of the content they were showing.

True, a lot of it was leaked this year, but they still put on the best show by a pretty wide margin. And *nobody* saw the Final Fantasy announcement coming.

Oh God I'm excited...

Who knows how they'll stick it to sony this time around. Nothing could top FFXIII....but I'm sure MS will try.

Can't wait. Hopefully Nintendo brings their A game as well.

Nintendo did acknowledge that the last E3 was unsatisfactory, which is a very positive sign from a company that traditionally plays dumb about public opinion

But we can't know. Mother 4 will never happen though. Bets are on Factor 5's wii project as well as Pikmin 3, and possibly Punch-Out if they haven't said more by that point.

I'm of the opposite opinion. I'm thinking 'hopefully they are talking about the xbox 360's successor'.

If it can play the current xbox 360 games out there at a higher resolution and/or quicker with lesser load times, etc then I for one would be happy to buy it. Imagine, mass effect without the long-wait time in the elevator. Lost Oddessey with loading-scenes going from 10 seconds to a second, etc.

Not to mention, if the games were rended at closer to 1080p instead of 640p-720p and then upscaled, that wouldn't hurt either.

Yeah I keep forgetting that Microsoft Game Studios published it so, maybe not? Still, EA could just publish it themselves this time around.

I thought I was the only one hoping for Too Human 2 to be real.

I see no problem with games going multiplatform. If I had developed a great game I would want as many people as possible to be able to share in it. Just so long as it doesnt hinder development, and now that they have a working engine on both systems I dont see that happening any more.

LOL phoenix lament

Who cares what system a game is on? I remember you cum yourself over the thought that metal gear 4 might come to the 360 in a cryptic kojima teaser page post. You cant have it both ways dummy.

People like you help to ruin gaming IMO.

Dirty -

that is true but the good thing about an exclusive is they can optimize the game for one system and make it better instead of trying to make 2 games the same version. I am a real gamer who have all the system so I could care less because I can enjoy any game I want. These idiot like phoneix lament who are devote to a corporate logo on plastique are pathetic.

@FenixKnight

I think your wrong about the Bioshock 2 timed exclusivity. Squeals rarely get that treatment.

I think Mass Effect is going to stay on the 360.

I would also add Crackdown 2 and halo Wars to that list

maybe he used the correct metaphor and simply meant to say that in order to announce things that are further out, MSFT will have to spend billions on an elaborate E3 keynote that will give the appearance that their far-off games are worth waiting for...

If, kind sir, you are implying that I am a Sony fanboy, you have misunderstood my words and I demand satisfaction!

Far from it. I'm about as non-fanboy as they come, though I lean toward MSFT. I was just trying to make a funny.

His opinion seems to have consensus elsewhere. With the new E3 being back, Microsoft is probably going to go over-the-top if they really want to keep the gaming media as hooked on 360 as they have been.
