Greenberg teases Xbox reveal, says E3 is 'all about the games'

4.5
Microsoft Interactive Entertainment Business Chief of Staff Aaron Greenberg recently stopped by the Major Nelson podcast to discuss next week's Xbox reveal event and how Microsoft will show its "vision for the future of games."

"We're really going to tell one story across two events. So we're going to start on the 21st and really that's about revealing the next Xbox platform, really our vision for the future of games, the future of entertainment. We definitely have a lot of surprises planned." Greenberg then specifically called out Call of Duty: Ghosts, which will have its next-generation engine demoed during the Microsoft event.

"People are going to get a great inside look at really the making of the new platform and the team that's brought it to life," Greenberg added. "I mean, to be honest it's really about the team, the people here. That's why we're inviting people to campus, we're going to bring them behind the scenes a little bit. We've never done this before and so it's really exciting to be able to do that. But I think it's a lot of laying the foundation - probably the best way to describe it - and then just a couple of weeks later we go to E3."

Greenberg concluded that more will be shown at E3 and after, leading into this holiday season. "E3 is all about the games. At E3, I mean, if you're a gamer, it's going to be tons of exclusives, world premieres and obviously even beyond that we have a lot to share between then and this holiday."

CR3D1TorC4SH Am i the only one who thinks we don't need a new console and that E3 should be more about the console itself?


New consoles are needed, as they've been using the same hardware for 8+ years.

I am also very excited for this event, I really hope the new console is as epic as the hype about it.

-BxF- If they don't finally announce Skype for Xbox at this, I'll be slightly disappointed.


Why does Skype need to be on Xbox? Xbox already has a messaging system and party chat, it doesn't need Skype.


Skype would be great on the Xbox. You could call people on computers/portable devices while you're on Xbox. So why doesn't it need it?


Yeah, I agree with you.. Skype will be a great replacement, as I always use skype these days. Also you can talk to people that's not on xbox while talking to those you play with. Great!


It has party chats though? But it will still be awesome if they do put it in! :)


Skype would be good because when my mic is charging i go on Skype to talk to my friend while playing and i could talk on the computer and he stays on his xbox mic that whould be great


and im guessing that is Skype was on Xbox there would be more than 8 in a party

Gossip So Ghosts is coming out for the new xbox? I just predordered it for the 360.So Im guessing both the 360 and the "720" will be running on the same servers?


I doubt "720" users will be able to play with 360 users. But if you can, that would be cool.
