PG:Microsoft will host a Showcase Event at Gamescom 2013 on Aug. 20, where specifics of the company's self-publishing policies for Xbox One will be disclosed.
(Xbox 360, Xbox One)
Meanwhile Sony has 13 games to unvreveil, including the projects of Naughty Dog, Quantic Dream, Santa Monica evolution studios, Media Molecule, SCE Bend Studio etc. :)
It is hard to put a finger down on what exclsives are left for MS to show. MS has a history of having far more third/second party exclusives due to partnerships.
MS has 15 first party exclusives the first year, which eight of them are new franchises.
I do not know how many has been announced, but it is specifically Microsoft Studios, which likely means major AAA games like Ryse, Quantum Break and Titanfall are not in that count.
I don't think we can put a number on how many games to expect, there's still quite a few first party studios on the MS side that haven't announced anything.
I really excited to see what else they have in store for us gamers. I hope they show the game Black Tusk has been working on, I am very curious to see what that is about. Also a little more on Quantum Break.
I'm also very excited for both conferences. As November edges closer, all the fine details of both consoles will be clearer. I personally don't care about specs of the individual console really, as each will have their own pros and cons. I have both already paid for. I'm just eagerly awaiting the showing of more on the games so to make a final decision on which of those to pre-order. Show me and impress me with the games and I'll show you the money!!!!!!
Time to hit the reset button and see what the big green monster has in store for us. I really do hope they are clear and concise about:
1. Hardware 2. Specifications that us nerds want to know 3. Live kinect demonstration not of the development features but actual end user software. 4. Digital content distribution and sharing (if any) 5. Demonstrate live Xbox one and kinect user interface. 6. Self publishing, the full story 7. More Games Games Games!
And I'm sure there is more that isn't coming to mind right now.
I'm optimistic but reserved based on their almost comical handling of their new toy thus far.
Agreed! I personally would cringe every time MS announced anything for the first Kinect but I am extremely excited for the 2nd Kinect and what it has to offer.
Quit trolling it's only a rumour. Also since Jonathan blow is already working on the witness which is currently using up 5gb it's a poor rumour at that.
Nah, just people not fighting a console war for a change and just enjoying both. Nothing wrong with either system and there is just a new RUMOR now about the PS4 having less RAM for games. It really isn't going to stop great games from happening if it's true. Look what they've done with Uncharted, Killzone, Heavy Rain, Last of Us with the amount of RAM now.
Just seems like after this whole self publishing thing was announced, everyone jumped shit to the Xbox. I'm no fanboy, but aren't most of the indies on Ps4 anyways? Plus, don't understand how people can just forget about the price point. Which is my biggest gripe really.
I googled it and there are more sites reporting the PS4 ram issue so it might be true. I still dont see an issue tho. Still alot of memory to play with!!
Co - hosts Phil Spencer and Phil Harrison. Phil Spencer has good charisma but Harrison is someone I've always admired, he knows how to speak and captivate audiences and when it comes to games he is good at making deals with devs. I can't wait to see what both phils have to say..expect some major announcements also some major european developed 1st and 2nd party games to be announces including rares rumored adventure title ..
I have to say, (and I know I am pretty much alone on this) I don't like Phil Spencer as a spokesman, neither do I like Mark Cerney, they both have (in my eyes) a very sleazy,un-genuine quality about them, obviously just mu opinion, but at these events it's always what the devs have to say that most interests me...

I really hope they show off a Kinect game that looks fun. I want to see someone use this new Kinect and blow our minds.
Chances are Twisted Pixels new IP will have something to do with Kinect.
Agreed! I personally would cringe every time MS announced anything for the first Kinect but I am extremely excited for the 2nd Kinect and what it has to offer.
