GamesCom Microsoft press conference liveblog

I’ll be taching

Oh well. I’ll get all the good stuff when I get in.

Go, go, go Pete!

Can’t wait. Keep up the good work VG27! Love this site!

That’ll be Fable 3 then.

They’d better not overrun, I’ve got a meeting at ten. Maybe I can postpone it ’til half ten? I’ll go do that now.

I presume there’s no live video steam available anywhere?

Wate~~~Just 30min~~

Meeting rearranged! Mwah-ha-ha!

I take it the notepad above will update automagically? And, you know, someone’s on th other end of the keyboard? Pat? Pat? You there Pat?

Sooper dooper

I’m fucked.

Like… literally fucked from yesterday. Thats why you havent had any updates this morning bar one.

Anyways, we’re here now… I think. :S

/pom poms

Has it started yet? I’m on the train, and I’m not sure if this live blogging stuff works on iPhone…

nope not started yet

Blog blank ATM GHz

Its late, but can you guys give us an update, its starting to feel like my computer isnt working.

/taps foot

I’m trying to phone Pat now to see whats going on, but I cant get through!

OMG!!! They showing Fable III on Xbox 3. OMG!!!!!

Ok, thanks guys

Johnny, can you at least test the blog?

EG also has nothing, it just hasn’t started yet.

yeh still nothing here

Sony’s was about 15 minutes late yesterday, wasn’t it?

Wait… “God of War III” on Xbox 360, it’s going too far!

..

lol!

Every time there’s a live blog, the website dies.

Ouch! Check out the spelling of ‘Caesar’ and ‘Genghis Khan’ on the pic put up at 9.27……that is atrocious.

No wonder MS can’t make a decent console….

I’m not sold on this concept at all…

fable 3. yippee

I love it. Could be great.

Of course all that doesn’t matter since I don’t have a 360.

They really need to move on to something else now. Peter’s gone on far too long.

There’s a whole lot of reiteration going on here.

Well said Blerk.

Snogging eh…?

Hmm…

I think I’ll pass on this one.

Will all this ‘touching’ be done using Natal… ?

THIS GAME IS SICK!

“Ouch! Check out the spelling of ‘Caesar’ and ‘Genghis Khan’ on the pic put up at 9.27……that is atrocious.”

That’s how you spell it, though.

Well, that was a complete waste of time.

Thanks Peter.

Err, so when is the Microsoft Conference?

meh! was it really worth it?

That’s it? You’re shitting me?

What a load of cobblers. That was a Lionhead conference, not a Microsoft one!

Fable 3 sounds like The Sims a game made out of all the crap you have to deal with in everyday life, managing money, relationships etc no thanks life is stressful enough.

THATS ALL ???!!!!!

As much as I wanted it to just be about Fable 3, I didn’t think that’s just what they’d do!

No Syrok, that’s how I spell them – the correct way.

I couldn’t bring myself to copy their mistakes.

Eurogamer’s live blog picked up on it, too.

Is that it? Fable 3

Disappointed……

PM is dyslexic mind you, this seems like he was left on his own to do this, maybe he needs an editor or something.

You could be right, there.

So this is ‘sequel’, in the same way Crackdown 2 is a sequel?

Same landmass, same engine etc. etc ?

Weird…

I’m not actually sure what this is. I can’t even work out if it’s the same type of game as Fable 2.
