They don't usually do this. It's generally one-month timed content for MS games.

Well Sony has CoD and I don't know about you but I've considered that a tired ass game for a few years now. They also have Destiny 2 but that only makes sense since they had 1 as well and the fact that they are market leader.
But let's wait and see how AC turns out to be before calling it tired ass games. Maybe they gave it the much needed changes.
Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think MS has ever done content that was completely exclusive for their system, while I DO recall that kind of stuff during the PS3/360 time with the Batman games by Sony. I also believe RDR had content that never came to 360.
Of course it is lol.

At the end of the day Xbox E3 shows never are fully only about games. They always have a section dedicated to new features coming to Xbox One and that's fine I guess. Those parts are never insanely long. Let's hope they briefly cover the mixed reality stuff.
I doubt it though, they already showed the thing at Build, so next is maybe announcing it will support Scorpio as well and probably demo a game. Hope I'm wrong. These kind of demos never excite anyone.

I dislike 3rd party moneyhatted exclusivity, including Sony (Destiny dlc...), but as far as egregious 3rd party paid exclusive content goes, MS has the crown both for this gen and last imo.
PS360 era: GTA 4 dlc ($50m deal) 1yr exclusivity and Tomb Raider Underworld lifetime exclusive dlc, apparently removed from the game itself
PS4/XB1: Titanfall going from a likely 1yr exclusive to a lifetime exclusive behind the back of the devs, ROTTR paid 1yr exclusivity

I stand corrected! And yep agreed, those kind of deals always suck and never benefits anyone really. Well except the company I guess.

What are the chances they simply meant during E3 they will explain more about this? So like if you visit E3 you can see and hear more and maybe they release info on the Internet about it? Or did they specifically said during the Xbox E3 press conference?
Yeah i teased this like 2 or 3 weeks ago. Also expect a Trailer next week.
I'm always interested in new features coming to Xbox One, I don't think the press conferences need to be exclusively about games. New features and new technology that is important to the industry I think are fine, as long as they are interesting of course.

I pray to the Xbox gods that there is no wasted time on e3 for a new Assassins Creed...i understand people love the game, but let ubisoft show it off themselves we need bomb dropping 1st party gameplay for games announced and unannounced

Assassin's Creed will be at Microsoft's show. It is okay.

I have a good feeling there aren't many unannounced 1st party games ready to show. From first party, we're most likely getting what we already know: forza 7, sea of thieves, crackdown 3, state of decay, etc.
At most, we'll get a Halo 6 cg teaser at the end.

If there's a marketing deal involved, they're gonna talk about it... I'm all for it though! AC is one of my favorite franchises so I welcome some sweet Scorpio enhancements. They're never going to only talk about first party anyway. If they had the best lineup in the world it would still need to be staggered so it doesn't conflict too much with third party content.

That's true man. New Tech is always interesting and that's where Scorpio comes in. But so far most if not all of these VR and AR demos haven't all been very interesting. I guess we'll find out.
But with Shinobi now starting to leak things a little, even if the AC thing was expected, I wonder if we get to hear more leaks. On one hand I rather have no leaks at all so we'll be surprised when we get that during the show but on the other I am slightly curious if MS has anything really new up their sleeves.
But if Shinobi has no more leaks, hopefully that's not an indication that they have nothing really new. Some announcements similar to their BC announcements would be great. Completely out of the blue.

I don't even want the timed stuff. Feel like MS could pull a Sony and get content like Destiny timed content. That's insane

This is easily the best prediction for what MS will show. Although I'm a little more pessimistic and do not believe there is a final unannounced AA/AAA game. Also, Halo 6 will simply be a CG trailer with no specific subtitle.

This is a good list/show but Microsoft should hold off in regards to showing Halo 6 as all it will do is overshadow the rest of their 2017 games and if I was Microsoft, I would be trying to build up Crackdown 3 and State of Decay 2 as opposed to bringing them down which is what will happen if they announce Halo 6.

Do you guys think that Borderlands 3 will be on stage with Sony or Microsoft?
Well sure, but it's still a series that some people care about. Destiny at launch was a pile of shit at launch too, but plenty of people on this site still play it. AC has released multiple games in the time that Unity came out that literally no one I know has even played. Exclusivity games, even when it's something small like challenge rooms is shitty practice for all consumers. But if you're going to do it at least do for games people care about and do it well.
Seems to be the way they are going, what a bland showing though. How many years have we seen the same indies again and again without getting released. And what's the point of Recore Def. edition. Should have just delayed the game. Halo 6 or Forza are not exactly exciting anymore. They will only be pandering to their hardcore Xbox fans.
If I were you, I really would set my expectations. Personally I'm not expecting much in terms of new first party games aside from of course Halo. If there is a surprise, great.
I'm done expecting great things from MS when it comes to games. I can still hope, but I don't expect much anymore.
I still love my Forza, Gears and Halo so I'm still excited. The smaller stuff looks cool too.
I still enjoy Halo and Forza (Horizon) but the smaller games like Cuphead, Below, and Ori are literally the coolest games on the platform and with a few of those they've been showing them for so damn long that now I don't need to see them anymore. The other big games like Crackdown and Sea of Thieves, obviously I'm there but man looking at that list it's like the most boring and obvious games ever. Maybe I'm just over E3 and sick of hype distorting my expectations.

Mhm, Halo 6 will be a cinematic but I think Crackdown 3 will have a Halo 6 beta.
And yeah, the last one is the one I am most unsure about. I just have it there because it is something that should be there but I don't know. I could see the AA one happening but the AAA one seems iffy. I am willing to put it there as a possibility though.
I think if Crackdown 3 and State of Decay 2 have great showings, Halo 6 won't overshadow them. Halo 6 would be more like a cool icing on the cake type situation.
Mhm, I think it will be a show that goes over pretty well with the core Xbox crowd. Beyond that, I don't know. I just want stuff that I can't predict which gets me excited. That would only be in the 'unannounced AAA/AA' part of my list.

Oh for sure man, I've definitely set my expectations low this time. Every damn year I was always so excited and afterwards felt that things were a bit disappointing. I would like to believe Spencer and team have been making deals with studios or actually establishing studios and that we get some results of that but yeah, we'll see.
I see nobody mentioning any Japanese games but I am definitely hoping they will announce a few Japanese games we so far have missed out on. And yeah here I go again mentioning Spencer again but he did went to Japan and afterwards said Japanese games would be coming to Xbox. E3 is a nice time for such news.

AC is probably one of the better games for them to showcase Scorpio.
MosquitoSmasher

Game has the potential to look stunning. Hell, Unity still does, only that goddamned framerate though. I'm definitely ready for a new AC if they have improved or completely overhauled certain things. I want to look forward to AC again. Undoubtedly a good showcase title for visuals, and that's not something I'll say about Shadow of War. Looks quite underwhelming.
Dark Cloud

Of course AC is going to be there. Most of us guessed they had a deal with MS already. Be prepared to see it.
I can't even get excited for this lol. I've never seen a list of so many games and I'm like eh it's ok I guess. I really want to see Japanese games.
That set of games keeps their hardcore base happy and they are the ones that will most likely pick up a Scorpio day one as well so it should work for them in the short term. The problem is and has always been how do they bring in new or lapsed gamers. As someone who has no interest in halo or gears or racing games, I just can't see myself ever picking up an Xbox console.

It looks like I'll have to travel during this conference, so it's a good thing I don't expect any surprising single-player game reveals.
MosquitoSmasher

I think they will announce a few Japanese games. Code Vein being one of them, definitely see that one happening, hope so.
Why are people mentioning Recore DE? Does that game even warrant a DE for MS when it didn't sell all that great? But I guess it's possible that they announce it and with it comes that new DLC we still don't have.
I'm pretty sure they confirmed Recore Definitive Edition, but I don't see it taking up any E3 time. At least I hope not lol. I loved the game, but they need to show new stuff to get more ppl hyped.

ReCore DE got leaked through a ratings agency, and yeah, I'd say it needs it. There's a great game in there, it just came out unfinished. A relaunch and a fresh coat of paint to show off Scorpio feels like a good idea to me.

What did MS announce before E3 last year or the year before?
Hatefilled Vengeance

ReCore DE announced as free with GWG + sequel confirmed = only way I see it mentioned on stage.

Or it could be a Game Pass situation with Phantom Dust.

Even though Xbox has the marketing rights for Ass Creed... the game that is being referred to in the tweet is not Ass Creed.
Hatefilled Vengeance
Member
Yeah, I think either way both of those games will be in GP.
Phil seems extra defensive of ReCore, more so than with other games like QB or SO, so I have a feeling they'll be continuing that relationship. In their best interest to get as many people to play the first game as possible.
DriftingSpirit
Member
Mhm, I heard Phil has a strong attachment to ReCore. It makes sense for them to push it if that is the case.
Give us a hint.
