Can you say “Halo”? Xbox Live boss John Schappert very well may be able to tomorrow, as the exec takes to the stage at the Makuhari Messe to kick off Tokyo Game Show 2008.

His keynote is titled “A Canvas for the World,” and is expected to focus heavily on the upcoming New Xbox Experience UI update for 360 and - so say the little birds - Bungie is in Japan in force, so watch out for that.

Synchronise watches, team: Schappert’s address starts at 1200pm local time tomorrow, Thursday, October 9. According to this, that’s 4.00am UK time or 5.00am CET if you’re on the mainland.

Most important question

Is somebody live-streaming,blogging...etc TGS keynote?

Also something to heat things up

Quote

Bungie is set to make a major announcement at this year's Tokyo Game Show which kicks off with Microsoft's keynote tomorrow, the rather cheesily entitled "A Canvas for the World."

Xbox Live boss John Schappert will kick off the Tokyo Game Show 2008 fun and games at the Makuhari Messe tomorrow at 4am (UK time) and rest assured TechRadar will have our team on the ground to bring you all the important news as it happens.

Schappert's keynote - "A Canvas for the World" – will undoubtedly focus heavily on the cutesy new Xbox Experience UI update for 360, some big new Xbox Live Arcade titles from Japanese developers (remember last year brought us the mighty Igaruka and Rez), some big RPG announcements (the next Mistwalker RPG is rumoured) and – should the rumours prove to be true – also segue into some interesting announcements from Bungie (with the key members of the Bungie team having already been spotted on the ground in Tokyo).

Ninja developer joins Microsoft?

Tomonobu Itagaki, director of the Ninja Gaiden series, is also rumoured to be putting in an appearance. Pre-show whispering suggests that Microsoft may well have poached the renegade, whisky-slugging rock and roll games developer. Now that would be a coup…

With the death of the beastly spectacle that was E3, the Tokyo Game Show is arguably now the most important date on the international gaming calendar, attracting over 200,000 trade and consumer attendees (as well as some VERY strange cosplayer fetishists).

All the major Japanese developers and publishers are in attendance at TGS (along with a few US and European companies) to unveil their latest games, hardware and peripherals.

Namco-Bandai and Square-Enix announcements will no doubt steal the show for the hardcore Japanese gaming faithful, with updates also expected on Capcom's Resident Evil 5 and, no doubt, some interesting showings from those other Japanese giants SEGA and Konami.

Looking forward to PC & PS3 becoming even more irrevelant.

Maybe RE5 will be dropped for the PC? According to Capcom, DMC4 sold like garbage despite being a great port. I think they have themselves to blame though for waiting so long to release the PC version. Multiple system owners are more likely to pirate the PC version if they already played it on a console.

I sure as hell hope not. They need to adjust their marketing/timing, not give up on the PC! Needs to be advertised, up on Steam day 1, and look glorious.

Crushed · « **Reply #38 on:** October 08, 2008, 10:47:02 PM »

No More Heroes 2 could be really awesome if they:

-add more enemy varieties and scenarios
-drop the sandbox crap OR actually give it a reason to exist
-work on the graphics (though it was mostly bad in the sandbox city because of the atrocious LOD distance)

Seriously, I kept driving past that high school before it could actually transition to the higher-quality version. If you were at least 30 yards away it suddenly became a big blurry box.

It's probably much better than PAX and E3 in terms of smell.
