Rumor: Xbox E3 info (Zombie game, Battletoads, Forza Horizon, AoE, more)
- Thread starter AAMARMO
- Start date
Cuphead and Tacoma were announced in 2014. Ion and Ashen aren't published by Microsoft.
I think what is being discussed is the number of new Microsoft-published games at E3 2015 and comparing that with this list.
Last year was 5: Gears 4, Gears Ultimate, Recore, Sea of Thieves and Rare Replay
Assuming this list is true, that would mean 4 new Microsoft-published announcements at E3 2016. So I think this list is very plausible and pretty in-line with what they've done previously.

Could the zombie game be Left 4 Dead 3? Thought there were some rumors floating around. Not sure how reliable they are though.

Sounds like people are assuming Dead Rising. Seeing as L4D is a Valve property, it seems unlikely there would be a direct line to MS in that equation.

It would be fantastic if they have some more surprises!
All I'm saying is this list is extremely plausible and wouldn't be thin on the sheer number and type of games getting announced based on their recent E3 showings
That's very unlikely then. Battletoads is probably not going to be an AAA title and it's a revival, as is AoE. Only FH3 and the zombies game (assuming it's an AAA game) are "big/blockbuster/mass appeal" types of games.
There's no way they have only two of those.
Why am I even arguing this, that list is clearly incomplete and probably even made up by someone instead of it actually being part of the conference.
it'll probably be like every other DR.
I remember the reactions to DR3 revealing. I hope that doesn't happen again, lol.

So... Two AAA games... Exactly like last year? (Gears 4 and Sea of Thieves)

Only thing that really interests me here is the potential for FH3 and it being set in Australia. That, alone, would make E3 great for me.
I haven't been paying close enough attention to Sea of Thieves. I didn't know it was MMO-related, and that kind of shits on my interest. Battletoads' potential unveiling is also good for fans, but I've never been big into it. Too hard.

Wait, what? Jade Empire? Sorry, I have not read the entire thread. That would be incredible.

MS needs to give people that don't have a Xbox One yet a reason to get one, and also to get people on board for a possible Scorpio reveal if those reports from Kotaku and Polygon are true. So no way that's going to be it, i'm not expecting any groundbreaking announcements but definitely more new IP's in there.
Recore is very likely AAA as well.
What is this about Jade Empire?

I was telling someone over the weekend that I could play a new L4D. I had a lot of fun playing those.

I just assumed since Left 4 Dead was only on Xbox 360 when it came to home consoles.

Halo Wars 2 was also announced. That would be 3 AAA games.

None of that sounds particularly exciting, to be honest. Still looking forward to Microsoft presser more than anyone else's though.
Halo Wars 2 was Gamescom
That was Gamescom but he's missing Recore anyways
Was that not Gamescom? RTS games tend to be PC oriented, so that venue would have made more sense.

Always amuses me how quickly this place goes from exhalting , to wanting to see a crucifixion, and then back.

I really want to believe it's Left 4 Dead 3. Timing seems right, but this is Valve we are talking about.
Also, it makes some sense being that it was a Microsoft console exclusive.

Thanks for correcting me guys. I thought about it being at Gamescom but couldn't remember.
I thought ReCore was gamescom...I got them mixed up. lol.
I had the same doubt. It's just that E3 and Gamescom were so close last year that i feels like all games were announced at the same event.
Recore is AAA, so 3 I guess.
I don't know, it sure felt like there were a load more surprises in 2015, there's no way they don't have more than the four in this list.
Source?
I forgot who said it but it is a AAA game.

You fuckers got me hyped for Dead Rising 4 now. If I don't get it, you're all fucked. I'm not sure what I'll do yet. I'll figure something out. Brb.

That's the thing though, Sony is very likely to talk or even show that Neo, it would really surprise me if it's silent on Sony's side after all those leaks from a while ago. And if those reports are true, it's planned for holidays, isn't it? MS however is said to be planning their Scorpio for 2017 and unveiling soon. It just doesn't make sense to me to unveil a new system when it's more than a year from release. Has that ever happened before?
Shinobi saying it's not a smallgame specifically, doesn't mean it's not AAA but yea. Plus it's $60 which pretty much confirms AAA from MS otherwise it'd be priced $20-$40 or thereabouts.

Halo 5 June update

I couldn't find the tweet/post but I'm pretty sure Shinobi said it "wasn't a small game", don't think he specifically said AAA, just that it wasn't small.
nah something they couldn't talk about yet, I doubt it would just be the Firefight update. Maybe a bigger add-on

Age of Empires? Bill Gates must've made the call after that Reddit AMA.
Halo RPG plz I mean they have one of the creators of Mass Effect and original writer of Halo. Just do it MS!
Probably a dumb question, but there's no way the "zombie game" mentioned here could be Resident Evil 7, right? I mean, Capcom would have to be crazy to make RE7 an Xbox exclusive, wouldn't they? I only ask because I remember hearing rumors awhile ago about 7 being an X1 exclusive, and because all of Capcom's AAA releases have been exclusives on Consoles so far this gen (DR3 for X1, SFV for PS4).
if RE7 is exclusive i'd expect it to be a PS4 exclusive.
I really doubt it'll be exclusive though
It's possible, but I doubt MS would pay for that when they can get DR4 or what UnDead Labs is working on.

Please have some big name megatons please.
At least 1, like Red Dead being exclusive or some ish.

Yeah, I kinda doubt it too. RE has always been multiplatform, and the PS4 userbase is twice the size of X1.

i dont know i can put it as a rumours.
