In terms of video games, bombshells have traditionally never been Microsoft's style. They prefer to take a solid and consistent approach to their conferences in showcasing and introducing games.

Dat Marcus voice. Damn legit.
I agree, which is why despite Sonys year of dreams, I think they still had the better conference (albeit not as fun and exciting).
They play it "safe", IMO and don't do anything that creates a LOT of buzz like Sony.
It all seems so, robotic, by the numbers, and slow sometimes.
Not saying they suck, they've def. had 3 years of great games lineups, but there's no WOW factor.
I'm thinking back to last year's conference. We didn't know anything about Gears Ultimate or Rare Replay before E3 2015 right? Then they get announced and released within a couple of months! Rare Reply in July, Gears Ultimate in August? I really hope that we have some games that we currently have no idea about, which we get to play in July/August... would be really neat.
Fair points. For PC games "features not yet released" may as well be a restriction. When they have a platform like Steam that does all of that stuff, they have no reason to accept those missing features. MS should have maybe delayed their PC initiative until they had all those things ready perhaps.
I think their PC initiative has been bad and maybe even terrible, but you're right, there have been gems, like Forza Apex, Killer Instinct, and Tomb Raider had good performance like you suggested. I think the bad outweights the good.

Bear in mind that hype monsters =/= the point, really. In a weird way some gamers almost like hype more than playing the damn games...
The fabled 'year of dreams' meant jackshit to me, as I care not for Shenmue, FF7 was fine but srsly, get over it, and TLG was 'about fucking time'. So you might want to ignore me ^^
I hope this new slim model looks sexy as hell and does indeed do 4K video. I don't mind if it is white and i'm hoping that you will be able to set it vertically again like the 360. I'm also very curious as to what little changes they've made to the controller. Damn I can't wait til monday. 
Thinking about it more and more, these are the items that I'm most excited for this Monday:
1) Recore game play finally being shown. Fingers crossed for Metroid- Prime-like game play.
2) Sea of Thieves + Rare is rumoured to show a new IP
3) XXX or YYY surprise. There's guaranteed to be some crazy thing we don't know about yet... Monday can't come soon enough.

It sounds like it is. ;P
Panos Panay
That name should be said like a commercial for a brand of cologne everytime its mentioned
I was a debbie downer on the last page but I'm still excited for E3 regardless. Here is my updated list of what to expect this E3:
Trailers for previously known games:
*Sea of Thieves
*Recore
*Scalebound
*Crackdown 3
*Halo Wars 2
*Gears of War 4
New rumoured but very likely unannounced games:
*Forza Horizon 3, set in Australia
*Dead Rising 4, re-imagining of DR1 with an expanded town, set in Christmas time, with snow and co-op
*Age of Empires sequel
*State of Decay 2
*New Rare IP (Rare rumoured to become a new IP factory)
*Battletoads
Rumoured hardware:
*Xbox One Slim
*Xbox Streaming Device/Stick
*Xbox VR and Xbox Scorpio is rumoured to exist but also heavily rumoured to skip E3...
Possible third-party multiplat trailers:
*Battlefield 1
*Titanfall 2
*Dishonoured 2
Other miscellaneous stuff:
*Indie game showcase
*Hopefully they show off a lot of good previously unknown indies
*And hopefully they give us release dates for existing indies like Cuphead, Inside, Tacoma, The Turing Test, etc...
*Other announcements? Hopefully here are some huge surprises.

I for one am hyped for Panos Paninay and the Xbox Breadbox
Literally.

Agreed.
Very solid conferences but they just lack that extra "oomph" or flair. Something that would be completely out of left field.
As you said, that isn't necessarily a bad thing though.
So, Geoff posted the schedule for youtube's streaming on monday, a lot of nice tidbits there:
https://medium.com/@geoffkeighley/youtube-live-at-e3-schedule-monday-832c487b984a#.b41i9bjh1
Mass Effect Ascension?
Of course they did lol
Why wouldn't it be announced at the press conference if it was exclusive?

I think the Slim will look very nice, then again I've liked all of Xbox's console designs since the original, Xbox One included so I am a bit biased in that regard.
Oh yeah I definitely know where you are coming from and I agree with you, it just seems like something Microsoft isn't much interested in. I will say that if they wanted, they could definitely produce, after all gaming tends to lend itself well to surprises.

He has the name that would work for a cologne.
Excellent!
Smells like 6 teraflops.
But why announce it at the livestream, then?
Thinking more about the quality and success, not exclusivity.
More from YouTube Live:
and
Oh, i see. I don't know, Twisted Pixel didn't develop anything decent since Ms Splosion Man (which was inferior to the first one)
Press Play was the real loss here.
Yep.

This is a pretty good rundown of what I'm expecting personally.
Still pissed about that.
Yeah, they only developed gems. Really talented bunch.
Kalimba and Max were great games.
Glad to see you perk up a bit. Sheez!
Even their mobile games were solid.
Still can't believe people voted for that garbage looking survival game.
I actually think it could be great, given it didn't had resource management/base building as it focus, only PVP.
Wait. There's a rumor of a new Rare IP? Separate from the Battletoads rumor?!

I need Panos to come on stage and rip off his t-shirt and go super saiyan.
I also need Phil at the back saying "Has he really done it, has he really turned the big VCR box into a slim-line DVD player?".
I would die of amazement, lol.

Question!
If Phil came on stage and told us that Xbox is going back to pre 2009 Xbox 360 with a new Conker, Banjo and K 3, PD2, PGR6 and many more, how much of a megaton would that be?

Yeah, I missed the rumored new Rare IP. Where did that come from?
I am beyond stoked for Sea of Thieves. A Rare pirate game?!
I could've sworn I saw that rumour in Nirolak's thread: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1228692. But it's nowhere to be found there.
Gah! I remember reading that rumour but I can't find its source right now.
