Good line-up for me, although I don't really expect the games to live up to their reveal trailers (mostly talking about Scalebound and Crackdown). I hope I'll be pleasantly surprised.
 
Hyped for Quantum Break. Interested to see Scalebound and Crackdown. Hopefully they'll show more ReCore and Sea of Thieves as well as some surprise announcements.
 
Will be interesting to see crackdown. Is it confirmed to be using the cloud for destruction or was that just a rumor perpetrated by that gaffer who claimed to be working on it? As far as I know ms hasn't said squat about it.

the company is literally called cloudgine

but yeah, they talked about it at last year's e3, on and off-stage
 
MMMMMMMMMMMMMM


Scalebound


Will probably black out Tuesday till I get home from work to watch the conference with buddies. Since its at like 9 in the morning for USA
 
I wonder how multiplayer is going work on Scalebound

wait
wat? multiplayer?

I think we'll see more on Forza 6, Tomb Raider, Fable Legends and Halo 5, but also ReCore as that's suppose to be spring 2016.

Whether Gears 4 or Sea of Thieves turns up is anyones guess, they're much further out.

Oh, and Killer Instince Season 3.
 
Odd that the press release didn't mention Recore. It's not like it's a surprise or anything. It's already been announced for spring 2016, so now would be a good chance to show some gameplay at a big event. Unless they are waiting for Pax or the video game awards.
 
Hopefully we see more of Quantum Break than a generic cover shooting demo. I want to see what makes this game unique and special!

Some gameplay of Crackdown 3 would be awesome as well. Hope it's not another cinematic hype trailer.

The trailer last year somewhat hinted at co-op. Nearly every Microsoft published AAA game has some sort of multiplayer, whether its co-op or adversarial, it should be expected more often than not.

They already announced the "big 3" just before E3: QB/SB/CD, I don't think they felt it necessary to list everything that would be there, so I don't think its omission means much. Given what they've said about it being playable, Phil saying he was playing it the Friday before E3 in his office and its release date, I think it would be a crazy/bizarre decision not to show it
 
I want to see Sea of Thieves, Scalebound, and Recore. Also give me a Killer Instinct Season 3 announcement and Ill be happy.

With that said, I wouldn't mind seeing Rare's other game :D
 
Scalebound is the biggest mystery...and hopefully it is the last thing they show (meaning it's supposed to be the biggest game, and that's something deserving for Kamiya-san).

At least Crackdown we already had several games. Quantum Break, we've had gameplay footage...but Scalebound is the mystery and we're just excited because that trailer is like...CMON what is this, I WANT TO KNOW.

In Kamiya We Trust.
 
I was excited for Crackdown 3 until I realized it might be multiplayer only and use the cloud. I guess I'm excited for Quantum Break only.
 
I think the section of gameplay they showed from Gears 4 was maybe a little dry, but graphically I think what they showed looked very good. I think they were trying to appeal to the appeal to the Gears 1 crowd.

Why would you care about coop and online stuff in Crackdown when it will be fully playable single player like the first game?
 
Can't wait to see this. I'll be on holiday in the south of France, and at 4pm my kids are having their nap.. I'll get to this with an ice cold desparados in my hand.

People are saying it might be multiplayer focused due to utilizing the cloud. If that's that case then I'm less hyped to see it. If there's a single player campaign then I'll be hyped for it. We'll see in August.
 
This is some great news. Microsoft traditionally doesn't have the most mind blowing Gamescom shows. Last year it was literally just a retread of E3 and the only thing anyone actually remembered was the news about timed Tomb Raider exclusivity.

This year it seems they learned from Sony. Split the game announcements between the shows. Smart move. Can't wait. My excitement for Scalebound is strong. So far my X1 has just been a Sunset Overdrive machine.
 
I know people hate CG trailers, but I wouldn't mind getting one for Lionhead's new IP - just to get a peak at what they're working on outside of the Fable universe.
 
Looking forward to Crackdown to see how the cloud MS once spoke of is being used.

Scalebound to know what the game exactly is.
