In an attempt to prove that I’m the coolest member of the crew, I’ll be attempting the impossible: live blog the Xbox E3 Media Briefing, happening at 9:30am to 11:30am (?) this morning. I’ll be summarizing all the announcements in this article as the event goes on. The page is set to refresh every 30 seconds, so you don’t have to worry about any of that, and all of the newest updates will show on top… if I can keep up with the pace.

But for the time being, grab a popcorn, follow our coverage, and enjoy the show!

11:05AM – And we’re done! Moving onto EA 😀

11:05AM – Exclusive on Xbox One, Spring 2014.

11:04AM – Ok, that last part was pretty cool. Everyone is ecstatic and applauding like crazy.

11:02AM – Oh, so THAT’S why it’s called TitanFall! Falling Titans, like big things, like robots! Get it?

11:01AM – It’s odd.. it’s definitely a multiplayer game. There’s scores up top and a “X person joined” that showed up on the lower right corner of the screen.

11:01AM – It’s Call of Duty, but with robots! And it looks fantastic!

11:00AM – Xbox Live Cloud Computer. Ohhh, and a live demo!

10:51AM – This doesn’t look in-engine, but I guess it’s still early.

10:49AM – Below, by the guys who brought you Swords and Sworcery

10:48AM – I’m engrossed. There hasn’t been a break in the first person “action” since the beginning. First BF4 map pack on Xbox One before anywhere else

10:46AM – The waves look really impressive as it splashes across the ship’s surface.

10:46AM – Ok, we get it. Physics. He keeps chasing after the falling debris!

10:45AM – “I’ll never let go Jack!” – Rose from Titanic

10:36AM – SmartGlass interactivity. Calling artillery support via the phone.

10:35AM – Hundreds of weapons with improvised combinations.

10:34AM – That’s definitely a lot of zombies. Ok, I can see how cloud computing can provide “non-essential AI.” I guess to set up background animations and whatnot, it can work.

10:33AM – There were some zombies in the distance that weren’t moving. Power of the cloud?

10:32AM – Verticality!

10:31AM – Dead Rising 3 will be open world, set in the city of Los Perdidos, California. Yes folks, this is a live demo.

10:30AM – Crimson Dragon. Oh, and Dead Rising 3!

10:28AM – Hey Ted, your Microsoft Points are useless now.

10:28AM – Twitch is built into Xbox One.

10:00AM – It’s definitely a next-gen game. A lot of the post-processing and shaders are sharper than if it was on the Xbox 360. Will be interesting to try out.

9:59AM – Still no Kinect functionality… I guess they ripped it apart and remade it to use the controller?

9:58AM – Frame rate is relatively smooth, until now. The background artwork is making it a little bit choppy.

9:57AM – That’s a lot of QTE’s.

9:55AM – Lots of chaos, very God of War-like in its presentation, but of course, no Blades of Chaos. By the way… not using the Kinect (there’s a controller in the demo person’s hand)

9:54AM – Yup. And look, there’s a live gameplay demo of it.

9:53AM – Ryse?

9:52AM – Uh oh. Phil Spencer. I think I have an idea what he’s gonna talk about.

9:43AM – “We’re gonna update the Xbox 360 console with a modern feel with the Xbox One design.” Starting today. That means the new design is out today.

9:39AM – Yep. That’s Kiefer as Snake.

9:38AM – This is open world. Shows Snake hiding behind a horse, changing weather in real time. Trailer is fast forwarding through scenes showing off some of the game’s feature sets. Textures look pretty good!

9:30AM – Here we go?

9:25AM – “Ladies and gentlemen. Please take your seats. We’ll begin in 5 minutes.” – Hot sounding announcer lady.

9:23AM – The WiFi is slow as molasses in here. Someone’s probably torrenting something.

9:11AM – Hello to the people on the website joining us today! It’s going to be… interesting.

9:05AM – “Is this thing on?” – Harley Quinn

9:00AM – Well, it’s 9:00am. I guess we have another 30 minutes?
