November 2016 - Quantum Break


I don't see Quantum Break coming out early 2016 because well, Microsoft rarely if ever does that. May will probably be a slow and dead month which is a perfect time to release two new IP's. I see Quantum Break as being their big holiday title next year with Gears being their big holiday title for 2017. No gameplay thus far yet for Gears of War 4 so I would be very surprised if it's a holiday 2016 release.

Lol. You on the good stuff.
 
I'm expecting Scalebound and Crackdown gameplay to be the main event, with demos of QB and Halo, maybe TR. I don't expect any big announcements of games, it'll be smaller scale announcements of indies and stuff like Screamride last year. I don't expect Rare to have a big presence. I don't think Gears will show up.

Of course, we'll hopefully find out release dates or at least release windows for the 2016 games.

Gears can't show up because the show is in Germany.

Gears will definitely not show up.

Who wants to join me on the Banjo 3 hype train!?!

It's the hype Bimmelbahn we've established that already.

In that case -

February 2016 - Fable Legends
May 2016 - Quantum Break
July 2016 - ReCore
September 2016 - Forza Horizon 3 and Scalebound
October 2016 - Crackdown 3
November 2016 - Gears of War 4

Now, it's fixed. :)

Your train is too small. You should attach some PGR5, Fable IV, Lost Odyssey 2 and Perfect Dark 2 wagons to it.
 
Do we actually know if Recore is a full-fledged full price game? Have they said anything about it or is it possible that its a smaller budget title or even more of a downloadable title like Ori?

Serious question - why can't Gears show up in Germany?
Click to expand...

They're not allowed to be advertised which actually means you aren't even allowed to mention them. Even destroying it in a review calling it utter garbage is advertising.

Germany's weird man.

It's on pre-order st the MS Store for $60 so I assume a full fledged retail title

Edit: or it was a couple weeks ago, seems to maybe be gone now

They're calling it AAA.
Click to expand...

Who is? Because looking at the developers of it, Concept is an indie studio thats never made a AAA game and is currently making Mighty No. 9 and Red Ash simultaneously with Recore; and they're co-developing with Armature Studio who is another small studio that has only worked on ports of other games.
 
Bear Cub in Sky said:
It was banned for violent content.

EDIT: Much like Dead Rising and Crackdown.

Simply, that sucks. UGH.

Wait a minute....is Crackdown banned too? If so, how are they going to show gameplay of it?
 
If Scalebound looks as good as the first trailer I will be buying an Xbox One this year for sure. That and Rare Replay is enough for me to finally "Jump in"

Some of the developers are the ones who made Metroid Prime. The vibe MS gave at E3 suggests it is AAA, they showed it after Halo and spencer went on about strong old IPs and new ones. Using halo as the old and Recore as new. From my memory.

Not sure if trolling or not, but the restrictions are no where near that bad...

Unless they're Nazi dragons covered in swastikas then its fine.
 
I don't see Gears (or the other GOW) as a collection though. A collection to me is the entire series in one package, like Uncharted and Halo: MCC.

I'm not a fan of backwards compatibility. Would much rather have seen Gears get delayed and they release a remastered collection of Gears 1, 2, 3 and Judgment. Would easily prefer that over backwards compatibility. Of course, this is just my own personal opinion.

The game is listed on Microsoft's website as a $60 retail title.

That would come at the expense of Gears of War 4. The Coalition performed the development of Gears Ultimate. If they did all of the Gears games, Gears 4 would probably have been pushed back to Holiday 2017.

That was a CG and of course it won't look that good especially if they were aiming for 60fps like Bayonetta and MGR.

I doubt that the game is 60fps with UE4...

Leflus said:
I know they've said this before, but I doubt that it'll be be on the same level as the main series.

-Will there be a similar amount of story as there was in the previous Fables?
-Will the story be more organic than "cutscene before mission + cutscene after mission"? If it is more organic, how will they please the co-op players that just wants to run around and kill monsters?
-Will it have a cohesive story rather than random missions from the wilderness?
-How will they be able to include the choices/be-the-hero elements from Fable 1-3?
-Will your co-op buddies be okay with you roaming around the level and exploring instead of helping them fight the baddies?
-Will they include content for single-player gamers that have been shunned by said co-op buddies because no one wants to play with someone that just runs around to explore stuff?
-Will there be more cities/villages than Brightlodge?
-Will you be able to roam through the entire world without having to enter a menu?
