This Awkward Moment At Microsoft's E3 Conference Is Just The Best

Kotaku - Technical difficulty struck the Microsoft E3 press conference this morning just as DICE was preparing to show off a trailer for Battlefield 4. The resulting awkwardness was amazing. Check it out above. Poor guy. "We will start over."

NeverEnding19894387d ago (Edited 4387d ago )

Yeah, that was funny.

But DAMN Battlefield looked sexy. Looks like I'll be buying on X1 for the DLC

DoomeDx4387d ago

It looked good. But it also looked very boring. The SP that is.

MP could be awesome

saladthieves4387d ago

It's very clear that he was addressing to the Call of Duty crowd, not the Battlefield crowd.

badz1494387d ago

I was thinking it's definitely the CoD curse LOL!

and to be honest, THAT was disappointing, coming from DICE! that was no BF, it's a CoD in disguise!

gta28004387d ago

So many fails in this conference. It seems like it was put together last minute. I'm willing to bet the original conference was gonna be all about TV stuff but since they got so much criticism they put together this half assed conference.

Gazondaily4387d ago

I was laughing my arse off....so funny! He almost left the stage!

coolvibu934386d ago

@gta2008

It was announced weeks ago, at the same time as the reveal that e3 was all going to be about games so no they were not going to talk about tv anyway

Looks like BF3 on PC using medium settings.

adorie4387d ago

F1 key in the trailer. GG PC footage.

Dark_Overlord4387d ago

@B-radical

For SP yes, however they never mentioned the MP, I wonder if that'll be lower?

TXIDarkAvenger4387d ago

@adorie

Almost every game demo at E3 or console announcements is computer based. Final games, dev kits, etc are not finished for the consoles at this point. They don't have the capability to show it on the console at this point. I mean, it is still stupid, but also makes sense.

abzdine4387d ago

doesn't matter it's live show risk!
i congratulate them it was all about games but too bad lots of CG trailers and lots of shooters.
if PS4 costs 400$ competition is OVER!

Greatness awaits
4>1

saladthieves4387d ago

I agree. for $499, it's not cheap. It will require an internet connection. If Sony gets say at $399, it will be awesome.

abzdine4387d ago

499$ and dont forget another 60$ for Live and pay used games fees everytime ;)

Greatness awaits
4>1

Leio4387d ago

If 400 or even at the same price there wouldnt be much of a competition

Muffins12234387d ago (Edited 4387d ago )

Good chance they could go for 450 but if they want to really hurt em they will go for 399....it would be funny if sony is doing last minute price changes lol

pixlz4387d ago

The DLC's only a timed Exclusive. I'd wait to see the PS4's pricepoint first eh?

^_^;

brodychet4387d ago

Lmao
"QUIET"

but off topic the SP is always boring in Battlefield. But the graphics are gorgeous.

GraveLord4387d ago

That awkward moment completely ruined the demo for me. I mean talk about killing the hype.

StraightPath4387d ago

damn were are the haters now?! this was a spectacular show will sony match this greatness?!

NeoTribe4387d ago

First off that was far from spectacular. Secondly there is not enough game footage or exclusive dlc they can throw at me to make that locked down underpowered pc look interesting.

Zhipp4387d ago

@NeoTribe
All consoles are locked down underpowered PCs...

boing14387d ago

Sony will show 64 player mp.

Adva4387d ago

Only ONE DLC content is coming to XboxOne first. All others launch at the same time across all platforms.

Blacktric4387d ago

"Looks like I'll be buying on X1 for the DLC"

Thanks for contributing to the death of a once great industry, just so you can play a map pack a week early.

PrimeGrime4387d ago

Buying the X1 for DLC.. That is about the dumbest reason I have ever heard to buy anything.

Watch all that DLC be released on other systems later or be crap compared to others exclusive DLC.. Ugh it never will end.

DigitalAnalog4387d ago

No wonder COD did not premier their game, it would've looked so ridiculously embarrassing compared to what BF4 brought to the table. Now the game runs on 60fps only gut-punches IW more painfully.

RavageX4387d ago

Are you SERIOUS? I sure hope most gamers don't follow what you've said.

Considering everything that is going on with the new Xbox, I don't care if they were $200 and had all my favorites being released as exclusives, DRM is a no-go for me.

dale_denton4387d ago

he wasn't connected online of course.. damn you xbone!

kane_13714387d ago

yeah, but their conference was just funny, it was like the 2010 E3 they did, it was even weirder when they tried to say things like: hey man that was great shot, or what not during different games.
It was so obvious they are showing videoes as if they didn't even try to hide it.
DR3 thing was so stupidly obvious.
I really hope DR3 is a timed exclusive, and since it is Capcom I believe it is, although I'm not with the fact that it looks much more serious than DR2 but still I would rather be able to play it on my PS4 otherwise I will pick it up for PC!

FriedGoat4387d ago

how can it be serious when Adam Sandler is the main protagonist?

kane_13714387d ago

Lol, that really is a good argument, but it is serious in the way of colors, weapons that they showed you so far, the dialogs all of that, it is just a heavier tone, much heavier than DR2

arronax-14387d ago

Well they DID say "It will all be over soon."

EazyC4387d ago

You could tell that guy was about to go ape if that demo didn't start...

RandomDude6554387d ago

Sounds like Microsoft paying people to show up was true....they just didn't get the memo in time.

That-Guy4387d ago

Yep. Microsoft has lots of faith in their Xbox hardware I see...

EazyC4387d ago

Haha that comment is hilarious given my original comment said "that guy" xD

Vip3r4387d ago (Edited 4387d ago )

I see the BF4 footage was on the PC.

Edit: Seriously, the backspace button was at the top right of the screen.

Battlefield 1, Hardline, BF4 Servers Are Being Taken Offline by Cheaters; EA Silent on Issue

Cheaters & hackers have been causing grief on Battlefield 1, Hardline & BF4 servers, with nonstop DDoS attacks among other things. Unfortunately, EA has remained silent about it.

-Foxtrot1173d ago

Course they are silent, they are hoping people flock to 2042

gamesftw2501173d ago

Maybe it was a inside job then haha.

jeromeface1172d ago

wouldnt be the first time, titanfall 1+2 anyone?

PapaBop1173d ago

Not even if they paid me.. EA always do this with old games with less money potential, if this was Ultimate Team, they'd address and sort it faster than stories could spread. Why invest time in their products when they will just dump it in the following years? Then again EA never could see the forest for the trees.

Inverno1172d ago

I imagine after those games were given out for free a couple months back through Amazon, anything that makes people go to 2042 is a plus for them

XiNatsuDragnel1173d ago

They want people to go on 2042. My theory

excaliburps1173d ago

Nah. I think they can't do anything about it or they want to sink money into fixing it.

Pudge1028881173d ago (Edited 1173d ago )

EA owns all BF servers so yes, they can do something about it but they refuse to because they dont want ppl playing their old games instead of the new one. Its EA we’re talking about here

pr33k331173d ago

if this happened in 2042, they'd have something to say. which is weird, considering battlefield 1 has more players on steam right now.

Pudge1028881173d ago

Its so obvious that EA is doing this or hired ppl to mess up the games so that we’d be forced to have just 1 Battlefield working.

FPS_D3TH1173d ago

Honestly it’s probably the devs themselves. They did an update to bf4 way back that kinda made assault rifles doo doo in hopes that people would flock to BF1 cuz BF4 was too perfect

There's a bunch of great shooters on gamepass; both legacy and new.

A recommendation I have is a work in progress preview title called Anacrusis. It's a lot of fun, and has a cool aesthetic.
