Xbox 360 Fancast 076 -- Decisions, and also E3

by Richard Mitchell { Jul 7th 2008 at 5:00PM }

This is it folks. E3 is only a week away. With so little time left, we thought it was best to dedicate this episode to our E3 predictions and to our plans for the event. The image above, lest you're wondering, is none other than the official X3F sticker. We'll be carting a boatload of them to E3. We'll be distributing them to famous people in exchange for photographs. We think it's a pretty good deal. Oh, and you just might get your own sweaty little hands on one during the Joystiq E3 meet up. But that's next week. Now it's Fancast time.

Still no Terrence? sigh...

Oh well, early fancast. Hope you cover some good stuff.

SytheMaster @ Jul 7th 2008 5:32PM

Yeah I wonder if Terrence will ever get better internets and be a regular on the fancast. And you have beaten me to my usaul spot at the first poster on the fancast, hats off to you sir!

Cop out Dustin. The answer was Gears of War.

jdkay20 @ Jul 7th 2008 5:46PM

I like the symbol

Muffin_man @ Jul 7th 2008 6:00PM

You don't like Ireland anymore? I am heartbroken. . .

Conor @ Jul 7th 2008 8:14PM

I think I succeeded in bringing Dustin to his knees.Although my question was never answered. :)

I agree with everyone that Gears of war would be the answer.

Raul @ Jul 7th 2008 6:10PM

wow a lot of E3 Talk... i wasnt expecting this... =/

awesome symbol!

Conor @ Jul 7th 2008 7:38PM

I swear to God if my e-mail wasn't read!

My question for Dustin was so damn good!

Anyways,gonna listen now.

T-BoNe254 @ Jul 7th 2008 8:16PM

hahaha

joey @ Jul 8th 2008 9:40AM

I wonder if they'll do a Would You Rather with this.
Cancel GEARS or HALO.

Andrew Hartman @ Jul 7th 2008 7:44PM

Am I the only one that feels like its Christmas every Monday when this Podcast comes out? That and I think Richard should facilitate some reconciliation between Zav/Alexander and Dustin. The tension between them is quickly moving towards awkward.

T-BoNe254 @ Jul 7th 2008 7:59PM

haha! i started playing Diablo 2 also. I had a level 20 in 2 hours lol.

Chase @ Jul 7th 2008 8:06PM

Here's hoping Microsoft canceled the Spring update to give us a new Dashboard - and clan support, damn it. If Facebook can put together "clans" (the group function is just a less nerdy name for clans), then surely Microsoft can add that to their service.

Peff @ Jul 7th 2008 10:22PM

The Graphic is sick guys. who did it?

Richard Mitchell @ Jul 7th 2008 11:13PM

None other than our resident graphical guru Terrence, of course!

Lewis (GT: StoneRevolver) @ Jul 7th 2008 10:59PM

Monday so soon? This episode seems very awkward, I guess because of it's different layout.

Xav de Matos @ Jul 8th 2008 12:48AM

Busy time calls for a quick and dirty show before the big ass week begins!

Will @ Jul 8th 2008 11:30AM

Did Dustin say favoriteses?

Mauricio @ Jul 8th 2008 11:43AM

Good looking logo guys.
Cant wait for the next Joystiq meetup. Im always up for some free pizza and beer.

Bluemanrule @ Jul 8th 2008 12:56PM

Are you serious Dustin? That was a pansy (cake) move not answering the question. I can't believe you didn't have enough "cajones" to answer the question. It's a hypothetical. Come on man, not wanting to participate in hypothetical situations is a paradox unto being a gamer (Do you think the events of Halo or Gears will actually happen?). Anyway, next time, answer the fan's question man, seriously.

At E3, I want to see the motion controller, new dashboard, and a web browser (sorry, my TV doesn't support PC inputs).

Games:
Resident Evil 5
Fallout 3
Star Ocean 4
The game Major Nelson can't talk about (I feel it's MGS4 on the 360)

Miscellaneous
60gb 360 w/decrease Pro price to $299, Arcade to $249

Bluemanrule @ Jul 8th 2008 2:34PM

xav,

MS may 'pimp' a non-exclusive title. Remember Resident Evil 5 last year? Although it's not exclusive, this game received a nice spotlight during the MS event. So, Microsoft will hinge its bets on non-exclusive titles.

Also, you guys didn't mention the rumored Netflix service on the 360, MGS4 and Blu-Ray on the 360. Anyway, I'm looking forward to it and I will be streaming it from gamespot.com.

Lewis (GT: StoneRevolver) @ Jul 8th 2008 4:06PM

If you guys can make actual stickers of that logo, I would definitely love to tag them all around NYC.

DXL540 @ Jul 9th 2008 8:51AM

Dustin,

The correct answer is "both". You then combine them into a new IP: "Gears of Halo"

Master Chief has finished off the Flood and moves on to help with the Locust. Like Halo 2, you alternate levels playing Chief and Marcus, each retaining their unique combat style.

But the REAL draw for making a Gears of Halo is the formation of the comedy-duo Sgt. Johnson and Cole. The possibilities make me weep.
