Ah, looks like it came from Shinobi: http://www.examiner.com/article/ins...-xbox-e3-presser-rare-working-on-brand-new-ip

I'm guessing something like Age of Empires gets announced at Geoff's thing. Saves some time from the actually conference. And maybe the next KI character or trailer
Maybe the streaming stick also. If it exists, that doesn't seem like a conference announcement

You can probably take Titanfall 2 off this list for 3rd party trailers. Looks like Sony has the marketing rights, so it'll probably be on their stage.

Rare's new IP should be the opposite of Sea of Thieves, Land of Police or something.

Two games getting announced on Geoff's stream? That's a strange one, probably AoE is one of them but I can't think what the other would be.
To be fair it just says "xbox title announcements".. not new. Could be SO for PC or something.
The greenberg one doesn't say game. Could be the stick or something else.
Wat? Age of Empires is huge. It won't get left to a stream announcement.
Crackdown 3: Land of Police.
I disagree.
If Phil Spencer had already planned to talk about Scorpio at E3 before Sony confirmed the existence of Neo, then we'll hear something for sure, even if that means just confirming that Scorpio is happening.
Exactly.
It's not huge when compared to MS other first party offerings
On the pecking order of things that need to be shown, AoE is right next to the possibility of battletoads of the least important things

I really want to see Recore and I really hope that it looks fun.
what?
AoE is bigger than most of MS franchises. AoE2 HD sold more than 3 million copies on Steam.
I mean, i can only think of Halo/Gears that actually outsell it on short AND long term. So, no, you're wrong.
Some of the smaller ones have gotta be for Geoff, im expecting MS to pop up at the PC conference as well
Shinobi said that Rare will be kinda a new IP factory and are already working on a new game besides Sea of thieves.
Also there is the rumor of a new Battletoads.

Hmmm. Remember that broken banjo tweet Robin Beanland made a couple years ago? What if Rare has been secretly working on a new Banjo game alongside Sea of Thieves this whole time?......
Rare doesn't need to make smaller games. I'd like to see them be a AAA studio for Microsoft. If you meant that they should make bigger games in addition to smaller games, sure. But only smaller games? No way.
I also don't really want a new Banjo to be a smaller game. People have been waiting for a proper Banjo Threeie for almost two decades. I think a new Banjo game deserves to be a big retail title.
Pretty sure that rumor was posted earlier in this thread. That's probably where you saw it initially.
I don't know if Rare is still split up into four or five teams still, or have consolidated into two teams or one team over the years... but I guess I mean that they should make big games and small games, yeah. I think if it's scale and budget that's holding back a new Banjo, rather than Rare not wanting to, then they should pitch a N64-sized game with HD graphics. Make a Banjo-Kazooie sequel that looks like the XBLA versions, or like current indie games. I think that with Rare Replay (or I hope it's the case, at least), it shows that these older games still have a lot of life in them, and making games that look like those today wouldn't so bad a thing to do.
But with the same token, I'd love for big budget Rare games to exist as well, definitely! I just wonder where Microsoft and Rare are at in terms of their interest level for bringing back classic Rare properties.
I really hope he is there if Scorpio is discussed.
4 studios they mentioned in a recent video.
4 different barns I think they said, with the Sea Of Thieves one having cannons on it's walls shooting at the Rare Replay team's barn.
he could be there even if it's just for the slim

Well actually, thinking about it now, I wouldn't be totally against the idea of an N64-sized Banjo Threeie with HD graphics. It would be cool if we did get a new Banjo game that is about the same size as the first game (or maybe even the second game).
But at the same time, I've always wanted to see a big AAA retail Banjo Threeie. I understand that making it be a smaller game with a smaller budget would be less risky since you never know if the game will actually sell all that well or not, but the Banjo fan in me wants to see a bigger AAA game. I think it could potentially work if it's in the right hands and if it's marketed properly.
It was an incredibly fun presentation.
I agree. I think if anything we'll see a shift in MS AT E3 as it won't only be about consoles. New direction

Don't forget Bryan Roper AKA "Microsoft Fedora Guy"
He was really cool and entertaining at Build

Wasn't that a joke here on GAF?

On the Build thread some people said that it was a real and some other said it was not true so most of us took it as a GAF joke like "$30 Italian meal" but now I know it was true, thank you

Woah, just watched that Surface presentation by Panos Panay, I'm in awe and am jealous of someone who can articulate his thoughts that well. I enjoy listening to powerful speakers.

It's known that the division that he oversees is. And I'd bet his vision and design feedback has been integral to whatever they're making hardware wise.
The Hardware division is creating it under his command, how much input he's made is unknown, but he definitely would have had some say
I'll just say that as soon as I saw the Scorpio leaks, my first thought was that Panos was involved, raw specs in unconventional forms is his forte
What?
Or are you making a funny.

Not sure how he could introduce the slim like he could the Surface pro 4. I mean its going to be a box that sits near a tv.
He could make the Scorpio look amazing next to a PS4 Neo I bet. But it wouldnt be like the surface introduction.

I don't care about form factor as much as usability. I hope he is very thoughtful about the placement of the USB ports, expansions, Wi-Fi, IR, etc.
One day we'll get one of those bullshit concept consoles that are spherical and made completely of transparent glass with touchscreens

You can choose from the BullshitBox, the BreakStation and the Nintendo What-The-Fuck
