Live Bill Gates CES keynote today at 6:30 p.m PST


Recommended Posts

Can someone please explain to me how IPTV is different to the interactive Sky Digital we've had in the UK for a while now? Especially the multiple angles thing on sports programmes...

Oh, and that racing game was basically Need For Speed: Underground. ;)

haha, no xbox 2 mentioned at all!

sucks...

lol at the bsod. thats one ****** up game, and i think the thing with conans car is he pressed somethin for it to go slow because it was blinkin at the bottom right corner.

it was sweet though, talkin about the media center, i was watchin it from the media center and im very excited for the things that are coming. but today i couldnt get online spotlight working, it just went to microsofts main MCE page... weird.

btw, CONAN MADE IT SUCK! i hate that guy soo much. argh!

Just to be clear, it wasn't actually a BSOD.

It was a C++ assertion failure, as it was a development build of the game running on an XDK (not a real Xbox).

If you looked closely you could see the name of the CPP file containing the assertion call :)

Let see all the flaws with this event....

The remote for the media center pc didnn't work

O Brien Said the camera was too heavy

The internet wasn't working

BSOD/Out Of Memory Error on the XBOX

O Brien Sucks at playing games

I think its fair to say Bill Gates got 0wn3d :p But really, I think what really stood out from that presentation was the IPTV Tech....That looks amazing :happy:.

Actually, the Media Center remote looked like it was missing batteries.

OBrien said the camera was heavy so Bill could show him the much smaller copy

The internet was working, it loaded shortly after he put the stylus down

The blue screen of death was hilarious, and I'd almost say it was a joke

Problems during the show....

1. Delay before starting

2. Broken Remote

3. Internet not working (And using Firefox)

4. Xbox out of memory (BSOD)

5. Choopy gameplay for demo racing game, after conno crashed to a wall

I think that's all... :pinch:

well then... that was... ummm... not quite sure what that was but it sure was something (and I don't necessarily mean that in the good way)...

Oh and BTW was it just me or did that chair and the way bill was sitting make him look REALLY short and kinda like a dwarf or troll or something?... heh

Remote= Yeah it was probably was missing it or so

Camera= hmm...Never saw the part with the smaller camera...Lost the connection there. Still in my mind, By O'Brien saying that, it kind of makes Bill Gates Presenation look a bit weaker

Internet=Once again, missed the part after that. Connection died

BSOD= Either way....It was hilarious :D

    • Doom: The Dark Ages Revelations expansion gives the Slayer a brutal Chain Spear by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Last year, id Software released Doom: The Dark Ages as a prequel to its reboot series, offering a look at the legendary Slayer character during an ancient war between Hell and Heaven. Today, at the Xbox Games Showcase, id Software returned with a new announcement that unveiled Doom: The Dark Ages Revelations as its first story expansion. The expansion will see the Slayer being betrayed and cast into a "merciless purgatory only escapable by confronting haunting truths." Somehow, there is one ally in all this chaos seemingly attempting to help our protagonist escape his fate. Players will be ascending this prison and fighting plenty of new demons and abominations as they work to free the Slayer's followers. One new aspect of the expansion will be the Chain Spear. This new weapon is described by the studio as a "uniquely satisfying combat system that rewards mastery with a potent combination of power and mobility." Check out the trailer below to see the new weapon in action, where the Slayer is seen using it to even pin enemies to walls. id Software is also preparing a free update to all owners of Doom: The Dark Ages that will land alongside the new paid expansion. Dubbed the Ripatorium 3.0 update, this will add more customization options, an improved pass code generation system, and preset options for players diving into the game's arena challenge mode. Expansion buyers will also receive additional maps, demons, and new weapons to use in this mode in addition to the story levels. Doom: The Dark Ages Revelations expansion is out on July 7 across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5 with a $19.99 price tag. Those who own the Premium Edition or the Collector's Bundle will receive the expansion for no extra cost as well.
    • Hyped for this. Replayed the remasters recently and they're so well done, and Crash 4 was great too. I trust this team to deliver.
    • Ninja Theory's new Hellblade game is action-focused and set in Purgatory by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Ninja Thery has been building its award-winning Hellblade series since 2017, delivering Senua's Sacrifice and Senua's Saga since then. Today at the 2026 Xbox Games Showcase, the studio had a brand-new installment announcement featuring Senua again, but this time, she is in a version of purgatory, and the focus is on the action. Simply named Senua, this new entry is described as a "full-on action-adventure" experience, delivering an expanded focus on combat, puzzle-solving, and freedom of exploration. The developer says that it is keeping the same high production values and storytelling features of the previous games while giving what players have been asking for in the gameplay department. The entirety of Ninja Theory is now working on Senua, giving the project much more manpower than ever before, while also letting the team draw on its action roots from Devil May Cry and prior titles. However, the studio also confirmed that its previously announced Project Mara horror experience is no longer in development. Alongside snappier traversal moves, Senua will be able to take stealth and direct combat routes. She has access to her own sword, plus any enemy weapons as well, with dual wielding also being an option for most dropped melee swords, axes, and other weapons. Outside of melee combat, Senua will be able to use special abilities that let her alter the reality around her. The world is said to be about twice the size of Hellblade 2. While this won't be an open-world experience, the linear story will let players explore their surroundings further than before. The story of Senua will be set after the events of previous Hellblade titles, with our protagonist being stuck in her own version of Purgatory. The series' well-explored psychosis themes will return as well. "She’s trapped between life and death on a quest to reach the afterlife and be reunited with the ones that she’s loved and lost," adds the studio. "Her belief is that by healing the wounds of her life, she can find the peace that is the key that unlocks the gate to the afterlife." Senua is releasing on Xbox Series X|S, PC, and PlayStation 5 sometime in 2027.
    • Windows has had it, it's called camera frame server. I recall when it was first introduced in an early Windows 10 release it caused issues and there was a registry entry to disable it. Seems like they disabled it by default at some point. Windows 11 brought that toggle to the settings app (not just registry) a while ago.
