ever since that horror Halo rumor being proved fake I have zero E3 hype

I know nothing can top that

And what about now?
 
Kind of concerning that nothing has really leaked as yet. Makes me think there won't be much beyond what has already been revealed and strongly rumored (Forza 7).

That would make me a sand panda. But I have no more hope left in the Xbox leadership.

The way the show is being made longer and longer, I am getting the impression that along with the Scorpio blowout, they might just show everything they've got in the pipeline. Just make a massive case for their brand and what they want to do in the future.
 
Shenmue 3 and Final Fantasy VII happened in the same night, anything is possible.

Playstation conferences live on hype by fulfilling as many hardcore fan dreams as they can. They will stand by what was a dead project like The Last Guardian just to rally the fans to their side. Unless this E3 is a shift in messaging from Xbox I just don't believe they are going to do the same. Now that doesn't mean Xbox won't have a good show with the Scorpio, but I expect them to stay on their path and cater to their current demographic as always. I want nothing more though than to be wrong this time.

When is the last time the Xbox E3 thread had more replies than the PlayStation? I'm not trying to start a console debate in this thread, I'm just trying to say the hype is real. If the hype is worth it or not is yet to be seen.

Yeah I'm not looking to start a console wars debate here. I'm just salty about Rare, but that's nothing new. lol
 
How, if I may ask?

I asked, like anyone in media would do. lol.

otr stuff, of course. but Rare is unlike any studio under MS umbrella. How they operate. How they're paid. They have enormous freedom.

(mind you my knowledge of this stuff is about 4 years old at this point so things may have changed... but I have my doubts on that)
 
I have a feeling Playdead's going to show up with Game 3. If that or Ori show up, I'll be happy.

It took Playdead six years to make Inside. It's been less than a year since Inside was released. It would be a bit foolish to expect anything from Playdead this year.

I think they need to.

We know for a fact that that's not the case. In the latest Major Nelson podcast, Spencer said that the doesn't want to show anything that doesn't have a clear release schedule over the next couple of years.

He also said that it's running long because they want to build a narrative for the games. His biggest takeaway from last E3 was that he felt they didn't build a narrative to justify game presence and this time they will take the time to explain why the games being shown are important to the Xbox brand.
 
I'm looking forward to Anthem and Assassin's Creed: Origins, and I hope for a Below release date. That's about it for me.

As I understand it, the Scorpio is gonna be a beefier Xbox One, which'll still play Xbox One games, and have no exclusives on its own? And then I wonder if any developers will push it to its limits if they also want their games to run on ordinary Xbox One consoles.

Interesting...

Ah, cool! That sounds good, then. Building the case for their games is the right move. I guess for me, as someone that loves Xbox but play more on Playstation 4 now, I want to see what's beyond their biggest hits. With games like Crackdown, State of Decay, and Sea of Thieves being their major known ones, it's refreshing since it's not the usual three, but I'm hoping for some more to see what's coming in the future, beyond Forza 7 and marketing deals.

Oh wow. My bad for doubting you then :p

Although, as you've said, that was 4 years ago, so things might've changed for all we know. I'm sure they have more freedom now than they did during the Kinect years though.....
 
Don't fall for Banjo rumors. Not worth it.

*cue avatar quote*

I too believe I am licensed to shut down dreams for Banjo Threeie.
For years I've been living the Banjo dream.

2012:
A Rare game that I desperately want, but will never get?
Banjo and Kazooie 3.

2013:
Please be Banjo!

2014:
Don't do this to me man

Banjo 3, E3 2014!

2015:
Last call for the Banjo 3 hype train!

2016:
Boys this is the year for Banjo Threeie. I feel it.

I say this every year :(

Now, I feel I can say with absolute certainty, that THIS IS THE YEAR!

Banjo E3 2017, lets gooooooooooo!

Man, you'd think with all that post history evidence that you would've learned to NOT expect a Banjo game at all by this point.....

Fuck it. I still believe too! Hype!
 
i begged for KI 3 since MS bought Rare

it took me 10 years but it was worth it!

You're lucky. Us Banjo fans have been waiting for 17 years now. So far it has not been worth it. :(

I haven't actually been waiting for 17 years myself. I'm a bit younger than most here. I'm just talking in a general sense. :p
 
Kind of fitting that Anthem is going to make its full debut tomorrow given how both Microsoft and Bioware are in a position where they have a lot to prove.

I expect it to receive some substantial time, maybe a Titanfall amount of time, and look awesome. Just a gut feeling that it's going to be a winner.
 
As someone who primarily games on Xbox but is also a single player gamer I believe having reasonable expectations is best this time around. Ori 2 plus more OG Xbox BC and I will leave satisfied.
 
I am curious as to when things go insane on gaming networks.

Will I wake up and refresh GAF and see everything spoiled?
Will I be at work and casually check in and see all revealed?

Might the presentation actually reveal things?
 
What you think if Monster Hunter Worlds comming to Xbox one (time exclusive)? They have good rellationship with Capcom, so why not
 
With the one s dropping to 200 today is it possible that they are trying to position scorpio as theyre main box? Kind of like when they started fading out the 360's after the xbone came out.

I think people would be very, very angry, if it was timed exclusive.

One S thing is only for bundles

So it's $249
