Microsoft won’t be livestreaming its Xbox-oriented showcase event at Gamescom this year – but we’re right there, right now standing in a queue to make sure we bring you the news as it happens. We’ll be liveblogging the whole thing (mobile internet dependant), saying things we probably shouldn’t.
We’re loving all the comments in the live blog… but if you guys don’t want to read them click the Gearcog and turn of reader comments .
Don’t forget we’ll be live blogging every event today (EA and Sony later) and we have a ton of interview and exclusives coming up later in the week

Food is probably region-locked, as soon as they leave the venue they’ll have to vomit it back up.

Not sure why MS decided to opt for the smaller more hands on approach with this conference. Hope it pays off -_-

I really hope they do something awesome, would be nice to look to the future with SOME positive mindset…
Hammersteyn

Agreed, this is supposed to be a happy time for gamers all around the world. Where moving into the next generation of consoles for goodness sake.

What! You said something positive about MS! What have you done with my partner in crime!? TELL ME! Jokes aside though, it would be nice to have some awesome news coming our way hey?

It’s someone else I tell you. I tried to log in this morning to comment and I heard a voice through my earphones “I can’t let you do that Dave.” It has begun!

Ahhh. that’s better *all is well with the world.
Alien Emperor Trevor
August 20, 2013 at 11:38
I’m trying to think of something nice, but it doesn’t sound particularly interesting. Except for a new Fable it just sounds like a rehash of what they’ve said before, and Fable isn’t particularly exciting because 3 wasn’t the greatest game I’ve ever played.
RinceThisandbacktoreality
August 20, 2013 at 11:39
But., but, you can make a digital copy, a DIGITAL copy of yourself!
Alien Emperor Trevor
August 20, 2013 at 11:40
I can do that already, it’s called every character I’ve ever played. trollol
Star Citizen hanger module gets released on Saturday, I can walk around my shippies. THAT’S exciting 😉

But… Bu… B…
Alien Emperor Trevor
August 20, 2013 at 11:41
The real question is, can I make digital copies of other people? And then manipulate them in a mature, sober & responsible manner?
RinceThisandbacktoreality
August 20, 2013 at 11:42
Bwahahahaha! Yes, I would also be responsible, like totally!
Melasco
August 20, 2013 at 11:13
Will the Sony event tonight have a live stream or also not public?

Some of the viewers comments are just horribly bad. No clever wit or the slightest hint of sarcasm at all. None of the class that gets exhibited here on a daily basis,

No I did, but just reading the hate and bile spewed up by random people is just sad.

August 20, 2013 at 11:50
So, you are telling me, that if a tainted GINGER has an Xbox One, their natural evilness will destroy the Kinect? And this is BAD?! Trololo!
TiMsTeR1033
August 20, 2013 at 12:01
a tainted Ginger?? like a half breed? is that possible??

It is a pleonasm.
There are no half breeds since ginger and human DNA is incompatible.
