Well I'm sure there's a fair amount who'd like the port in itself, but it's crazy how 2 years later it's still "bundled" with the interest of the canceled remake.

are there though?  

the original sold like crud so there cannot be that many fans of the game.  and a direct port, not a remaster.  i'm sure a few people buy the ps2 stuff on psn but i can't imagine it is anyones priority or reason for any excitement.  it's filler at best for a few nostalgic fans that don't mind double dipping.

MS changed the usual Monday morning E3 presentation to Sunday evening.

Wut wut wut?

Sunday is usually pre E3 for the lesser shows. I guess Bethesda must have had great stats last year.

It makes a lot of sense, though. Microsoft's conference was being missed by a lot of people because of its timing. Especially the North American audience, which is Microsoft's only anchor in the industry.

That's true. Not like Europe or the UK matter anymore.

I think Etho misread something, they didn't move to sunday night in the US. Here's the tweet

This kind of sucks actually. E3 days of Microsoft then EA then Ubisoft then Sony were fun. Now it's just Ubisoft and Sony on the classic e3 conference day

Maybe this will make Ubisoft and Sony put their conferences at more humane timeslots for us Europeans at least but I'm not holding my breath for that.

Btw. Halo Wars 2 reviews are out, currently 81 on Metacritic. Man is that game flying under the radar.

They moved... every MS conference happened Monday morning... they moved to Sunday.

PS. Morning, evening, night was my take based in my timezone

I was confused because you said it used to be in the morning and now it's in the evening. I think MS' E3 conferences used to start at 10AM local time and now start at 2PM. But it doesn't really matter.

They changed the day and the time...

Before: Monday 10AM PT (?)
Now: Sunday 2PM PT (?)

I'm not sure about the PT timezone

[Legend]

Used to be 9:30 AM PDT

Now it's 2:00 PM PDT

Not that big of a time change. Just 1 day early.

Phil podcast about Scorpio.

Some key points...

- Scorpio will be probably called Xbox One "Something"
- Xbox One S will best seller SKU for them
- Scorpio is for hardcores and it will be priced as premium product... like Elite controller
- They got the SoC in October 2016
