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."

YIGLobbies To be fair at E3 they did show a lot of games that are coming out on the next gen consoles.


Yeah and some of them look really good :D Might even tempt me to buy a next-gen console!

I think what they mean about this is instead of showing more of the entertainment side of the console, they are going to show what the console was made for in gaming.

I meant 21st. :P Well, E3 is going to be amazing and I think GTA V will be the best game of this year.


To bad GTA IV is gonna be at E3
Rockstar said :(
I was looking it too.
I wanna play GTA V Now!


Nah CoD: Ghosts is. CoD always is!


Id rather not have call of duty there and have GTA 5 there. Call of Duty will be the same crap as from the other games GTa5 looks all new and awesome but E3 is about games I never see anything else so he is kinda right.


Ha, that's actually very true.

Honestly, I'm really starting to fade
out of COD, it's all really looked the same to me
since MW2.
