Microsoft Details Their Pre-E3 Media Briefing

Published

Microsoft has detailed their plans for the now expected pre-E3 media briefing, and it looks like they’re going to try their best to follow through on that whole “video games first” plan they mentioned last month. They’re calling the event Game On, and it sounds like the glorious return to form that gamers have been looking for after a couple years of mixed messages and uncertainty surrounding the Xbox One as a platform for video games.

According to Microsoft, Game On will offer in-depth looks at games that have already been announced, as well as introduce brand new IPs coming in 2014 “and beyond.”

Phil Spencer, the newly appointed head of Xbox, said last month that the event was already “overstuffed” with video game news and announcements, and that some of the news will come sometime later this month.

Game On goes live on June 9 at 9:00 a.m. PDT — you can stream it on Xbox.com, Xbox Live, Spike TV, and Windows Phone.

E3 2014 kicks off on June 10 and ends on June 12.

Are you watching? Ishana Night Shyamalan has clearly been paying attention to her father, M. Night Shyamalan. Not only is she following in his footsteps as a filmmaker, but she’s also embracing a similar mystique surrounding her work.

The new trailer for her feature directorial debut, The Watchers, gives viewers a taste of what’s in store. AreYouWatching.com has launched with even more clues.

Visit the site to join the mysterious creatures that lurk in the Irish forest as you observe a shelter. From the time the sun sets at 7:30 PM until it rises at 5:55 AM, four strangers played by Dakota Fanning, Georgina Campbell, Oliver Finnegan, and Olwen Fouere can be seen trapped inside.

You’ll find several interactive items. Click on the gramophone to set the mood with some spooky music. Tap on the birdcage to hear an ominous message from the parrot inside: “I’m going out, try not to die.” Press on the TV to watch clips from a fake reality show called Lair of Love. And if you tap on the window during the daytime … they’ll tap back.

There are also Easter eggs hidden at specific times. We’ve discovered three: a disorienting shot of Fanning’s character’s car at 5:52 PM, a closer view of the captives at 11:11 PM, and a glimpse of monitors at 12:46 AM. Let us know if you find any more in the comments…

The Watchers opens in theaters on June 14 via New Line Cinema. Ishana Night Shyamalan writes and directs, based on the 2022 novel of the same name by A.M. Shine. M. Night Shyamalan produces.
