Xbox Briefing at Gamescom Scheduled for August 12, "Big Surprises" Teased

Microsoft announced today that its Gamescom 2014 briefing will take place Tuesday, August 12, and revealed that the event will be live-streamed around the world. The event kicks off from Cologne, Germany at 1 p.m. BST, which works out to 8 a.m. EDT and 5 a.m. PDT.

The briefing will be streamed across Xbox Live, Xbox.com, Windows Phone, and through the Xbox Twitch channel. Microsoft isn't saying just yet what it plans to show during the event (Quantum Break will probably be there), but the company teases that the briefing will include "big surprises you will not want to miss."

This includes the "biggest reveals and the hottest highlights," Microsoft says. In past years, Microsoft's briefings at Gamescom were held privately, with no public broadcasts available.

Later that day on August 12, Sony will hold its own Gamescom briefing at 6 p.m. BST. Electronic Arts will host its conference the next day, where we might finally get to see what the publisher's mysterious new project from BioWare is all about.

Activision is also attending Gamescom, and will host the worldwide reveal of Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare's multiplayer mode on August 11. GameSpot will be on the ground at Gamescom in Germany bringing you all the news as it happens.
 
Not trying to start a war but you just gotta know Sony has to be just a bit nervous at what Microsoft will show at Gamescon after the EA Access deal. Like, "Oh lawd! Whats next? Ubi Access?!:confused:"
You really can't help yourself can you.:laugh:

Yeah, I am positive they are shaking in their boots with their 3:1 sales ratio for Q1.

Really? Smart ass? Get lost with that s***. Its tool early....

Anyway, yeah. I think they could be a little worried about it. They received a lot of flack for not offering their customers EA access. And 3:1 sounds good, but the rest of the company is hurting. I personally dont believe they sold that much but who knows. Besides you can only talk so much, seeing as you have neither console at the time. So even if its 3:1 your not even in that equation....:p

Oh snaps! I forgot I sent you my little sisters "My Little Pony" vision board. Did you break all the crayons that came with it?? o_O

And where's her "I wish I had a PS4 pop-up Book" she let you borrow?

Not sure what is worse...the fact you changed the subject, or that you willingly implicated yourself in some weird My little Pony antics :eek:
 
What the hell? It sure got very strange extremely fast in here.

On topic: I'm interested in what they have for us at Gamescom. I'm especially interested in seeing Quantum Break's live demo.

Family sharing, Pre-loading, and Red dead redemption 2 being fully exclusive. Ok, the last one is stupid.
I to hope Quantum Break gets a good, lengthy demo.
 
A Gears teaser or tidbit, that would be a nice surprise. Not likely, but cool if they did.
 
It's got to be Fallout 4. Exclusive to X1. That'd get people talking.
 
Scored an XB1 new for 380 no tax free shipping via eBay. Pretty stoked.
