MS using the chance of Sony not being at Gamescom, then Sony will hit harder at PGW+PSX.

Yup!

I think it's a good idea for MS to spread the announcements but Sony have a great opportunity to counter attack at PGW.

Still, I'm far less excited for the MS presser now...at the same time, maybe they have some nice surprises in store that they feel confident enough to make room for.
 
Now I have a feeling MS, instead of the "games, games, games" we've had the past 2 E3s, will now have a portion dedicated to "future of gaming" and start talking about occulus partnership, and hololens or something, as some sort of a pre-emptive strike against the morpheus push sony's going to be doing.

Hope I'm wrong.

Throw Windows 10 in there too by the sound of it.
 
Someone please make a new thread

Crackdown and Scalbound will skip E3 and be at Gamescom like Quantum Break

Hype for E3 is deflating fast. No Scalebound? :( Hopefully at least Sony delivers with
TLG

Ugh that's what I'm thinking too. What are they going to fill a 90 min show with if not? Unless they have more marketing deals than we thought.
 
So, is Phantom Dust straight up dead now? No one seem to be mentioning it as a potential announcement and MS listed their other CG trailer games. I thought it was just getting a new dev or something.
Pretty sure whatever version of the game there was is gone and is being done by a different team now if I recall correctly. I don't think anyone expects it to be shown again this year but you never know.

Yea. I think they think the W10 and Xbox integration is way cooler then anyone else will think. Think that tablet stuff they were pumping and the nfl stuff. That theater mode of OR may be a precursor of things to come at their presser.

Now that they've cleared the "imminent death of our console if we don't do something" hurdle I am curious to see how much they court the hardcore/enthusiast crowd this year and how much they revert to "one machine for everything" ideal, especially with the Windows 10 roll-out around the corner.
 
Zelda, Scalebound, Quantum Break, Crackdown.. All those poor games skipping E3 just because they're afraid to be overshadowed by the megaton that is TLG.
 
Well, we can probably still bank on new games from Rare and Twisted Pixel showing up! I'm not sure what else though at this point. Microsoft has been a bit unpredictable with the games they're publishing this generation. I'm not sure too many of us were expecting them to work with developers like Insomniac and Platinum. They could very well have some surprises.
 
Zelda, Scalebound, Quantum Break, Crackdown.. All those poor games skipping E3 just because they're afraid to be overshadowed by the megaton that is TLG the Final Fantasy 7 Remake.

In all honesty though, I'm betting lots of games(Zelda not included) are skipping e3 simply so they'll have more information to show at Gamescom this year.
 
I think we will see Oculus at the MS presser. If the device is compatible across PC and Xbox One it would be a great incentive.

I'm playing inside a living room... in my living room!

Dat Sony combo (especially PSX being almost entirely 2016-focused) can cause shockwaves if used properly.....I really can't wait to see Sony's PGW event :)

I had forgotten that Sony was skipping Gamescom.

I wonder where at Gamescom S-E will reboot the FFXV marketing campaign.

More likely they will try and feed what remains successful about the Xbox division into the future Windows 10 service that Xbox is likely to become.

Just judging by the philosophy of the new top dogs in MS I would imagine that they will want to move away from the "box" and back into services.
 
"valve's conference"

They are just going to be sitting back in their office watching the steam sale money pour in.

Gabe walks out

Getting a early 360 vibe from MS this year.

Pre kinect but still doing weird NXE era... I see them doing that kind of show this year.


And its E3. They know that once they have a giant closing reveal and no train wrecks they will come out looking ok.

I just have zero idea what they could close with that would be actually surprising at this stage.
 
Here's what I think we'll see from MS:

  • Open with Halo 5 Campaign Demo. Part from Chief's perspective and part from Locke's perspective.
  • Brief reveal of the new Halo 5 Multiplayer Mode. Playable on the show floor.
  • Halo Reach in the MCC
  • Forza 6 Trailer
  • Rise of the Tomb Raider Demo and Release Date
  • Fable Legends Trailer and Release Date
  • Dragon Age Inquisition Expansion Announcement (First on Xbox)
  • Joe Montana 2016 Announcement Trailer (Xbox Exclusive)
  • Gears Ultimate Edition Announcement Trailer. 1080p 60FPS and Dedicated Servers. August/September Release.
  • Battletoads Announcement Trailer (Available Now? If not then in September)
  • Rare's new game is a Banjo Platformer. GAF loses its shit. Jontron uploads a reaction video that gets flagged for being too pornographic.
  • Indie Game Montage
  • Rainbow Six Siege Gameplay Demo
  • The Division Gameplay Demo
  • Final Words from Phil Spencer. 1TB Xbox One MCC Bundle formally announced.
  • One last thing=Gears 4 Trailer. Holiday 2016 Releasee. Beta with Gears Ultimate.

Sounds like about enough for a 90 Minute Conference. And has MS ever gone over?

That actually sounds pretty reasonable.

It won't be surprising, but they could close on the new Gears of War. It hasn't been in production for very long but I'm sure a demo could be made to get some excitement. With Scalebound and Crackdown moved to Gamescom, they'll have a few new things to show, I'm sure. They closed with a Crackdown trailer last year, so Gears of War wouldn't be out of the question!

This sounds good and definitely doable. Since it's televised, it can't go over the allotted time.

91 mins in 2013. I would add ME4 and Fallout 4 gameplay demos or trailers depending on what was shown at Bethesda/EA's press conferences.
 
So Quantum Break, Crackdown, and Scalebound are skipping E3 for Gamescom. Ok

What I don't get its why a lot of people are thinking the conference will be empty now. Do we know what MS has in store? To me, it just makes more room for new announcements.

I want to hear about games I haven't even thought of yet, and now there's a bigger chance that will happen. We're so close now!

All in all, this isn't too bad and I could see this happening. Only thing I could do is put the 1TB One after the Halo stuff and put Banjo before the Gears closer. Really though, this might not be too far off.

Skyrim wasn't at MS' conference in 2011 and Bethesda has their own conference the night before so no way Fallout 4 shows up.

Mass Effect might be a possibility depending on when it's releasing but I think EA will want to reveal the game at their own conference now that Mirror's Edge Catalyst is known. Maybe we'll see more of it at MS' Gamescom Conference.
 
Ehhh, I don't know if Rare's game will actually be Banjo. They've been talking about "doing new things" lately, and there was also all the Battletoads hints.

I think it's probably a new IP or Battletoads or something. A new Banjo is still possible, of course.
 
Hearthstone console release;
Magic: The Gathering XBONE exclusive rundown;
Killer Instinct Season 3 Announcement;
Mortal Kombat X Kombat Pack 2 Announcement;
Shadow Complex 2.

...but my biggest hope is Gang Beasts on XBONE.
 
since Crackdown, scalebound and QB won't be at E3, Im guessing that MS goes like this

- Open with Halo 5 story chapter, showing squad mechanics. Then show New multiplayer big team mode

-Tomb Raider gameplay( full mission)

- Forza 6 gameplay and new details

- ID@Xbox reel

-PVZ 2 reveal

- Division gameplay

- Joe Montana Football

- Windows 10 segment with Gigantic, Fable Legends and any other cross play games

- Minecraft story mode

- Rare big blowout( maybe an anniversary and whatever new game they're working on)

- Fallout 4 or Mass Effect 4

- Twisted Pixel & Press Play ( now that the other games were delayed to games com, I expect to at least see what they have. They're confirmed to be there)

- Gears remaster and gears 4 teaser

- 1 to 2 cgi trailers for later games
