New Battletoads? Gamestop about to shatter preorder records.

Pretty safe list of rumors. Nothing that you'd think of as unexpected, but also nothing that would be disappointing if fake.

This is just a compilation of existing rumours. Some of it is likely true but I don't trust this leak as far as I can throw it.
If we're talking strictly new software from Microsoft (so not including debut games from third parties, that aren't published by Microsoft), that's pretty par for an Xbox E3.
Last year had:
- Gears 4
- Sea of Thieves
- Recore
- Rare Replay
2014 had:
- Scalebound
- Crackdown
- Phantom Dust
- Ori and the Blind Forest
- Master Chief Collection
If this rumor is true,then a new Age of Empires, Battletoads, Forza Horizon, and Zombie MMO would fit their pattern pretty well.

I agree. I don't understand these comments. Also the ones that say if the price of so and so console drops to $X I would buy it. You weren't going to buy it anyway even if it drops to that price.

Crackdown 3 where at though :O

As far as the rumors go, I'm kind of disappointed Sea of Thieves being more of a Destiny/Division-like multiplayer game. There's not really a lot to go by from that short description, I'm just hoping its more than just a co-op focused game. I want ship battles (not just 1-on-1s either, but with 4-5 ships at a time) a-la Assasin's Creed 4, where you go onto the seas, at least in certain areas, and are at threat of being attacked by other players.
And I'm never going to get my New Zealand Forza Horizon game, am I? Well, Australia isn't a bad choice. I wonder if we will be able to drive through Sydney? I hope so.
Of course, this is assuming that these rumors are even accurate.
oh okay. I was going to clarify but I think you got what I meant.

People should stop referencing data that makes me feel uncomfortable because games get ported to platforms I don't like
If Microsoft can make a new Age of Empires that doesn't suck it would be glorious for me because I been playing a lot of Empire Earth and Age of Empires II recently and I want to see a modern take on the genre that doesn't involve an always online connection or micro transactions.

New AoE could possibly be the best thing to come out of this E3, or any recent E3 for that matter.
Now I'm going to end up disappointed.

I thought DR3 was a solid launch game but the location it was set in lacked the character that the other two had it just felt a bit uninspired. Not sure how I feel about it being online especially when Capcom can't even get the zenny shop open on SFV.
I'm kind of hoping it's actually L4D3 I'd love to play another one of those.

I think YCG could do a Battletoads game well. Would be cool to see a 3D Battletoads game as well.
Speaking of which I'd love to do the OT for this if it gets announced. Been pumped at the possibility of a new Battletoads for a while so I think I can do it justice.

Even though I will never play it, Forza Horizon 3 being set in Australia sounds awesome. Especially if it's not just the outback.

Hopefully the battletoads rumor is true
A new Age of Empires is pretty much confirmed at this point.
We already know that Microsoft was hiring for a new RTS studio that was going to be reviving a beloved strategy franchise, and considering Halo Wars was outsourced - it's safe to say that the game in question is Age of Empires.

What if it's a new Mech Commander game?
That's got to be getting near to 20 years since the first one... I think.

Made another post stating I was taking the list seriously...well aware there will be much more...
More concerned about more leaks (if this is true or holds any weight) would like surprises.

Nice try, but it doesnt work since it was never really popular.

I so want a new dead rising, but not a strictly online one.
Probably Class4, which was what the state of decay devs were planning

Class 4 is supposed to be a full MMO?
I would be happier if it was a MMO lite like the Division with zombies, open world and with a well writen story.
From what little they spoke of it a long time ago, it just sounded like day z

These lists are always depressing.
So many games. So little materialisation years on.

I'm fine with this as long as it actually works, unlike DayZ.

Fear not, it won't be an MMO, think of it more as a coop based State of Decay. MMO would ruin what made State of Decay incredible, and it would fade into irrelevance just like Day Z and all the other crappy zombie MMOs. Sounds like the devs realised this and switched directions to make it more like a multiplayer enabled SoD.
Let's see if they can make it work..
Not expecting too much of it anyway, between this and Dead Rising 4, I'm sticking with DR4.

Do you really think a new Battletoads will be a "AAA" title? I doubt that very seriously...
AcademicSaucer

Yeah, Age of Empires would be the Megaton of the generation for me.
Hopefully they changed their minds indeed, a MMO lite like The Division would work so much better, IMO.

No Rare.
Banjo first.
Viva Pinata second.
Conker third.
You can do Battletoads after all those are done.
Pls.

Yikes. I hope they've got a lot more than that and they're holding it close to the chest. Not a one of those games interests me in the least. (No, Battletoads doesn't sound interesting.) I really hope they've got more to say than this, but honestly, if they announce new games, I'm not even sure I should be exited about those either, because god knows when/if we'll see them come to pass.
Hardware talk is about the only thing I'm genuinely interested in at this point, and more from a curiosity standpoint, as the existing rumors either sound boring, or too far off to get excited about. I just want to see the big picture plan for Xbox going forward.
So unless there's something really wild waiting in the wings... Microsoft and Nintendo are looking to have a very boring E3. Still don't know about Sony, but that's more because I just haven't heard a lot in the way of rumors from their direction. I don't have high hopes though. This is sounding more and more like it will be a snoozer.
At least the Giant Bomb folks have their industry gatherings on their night shows. Some interesting banter about the games business in general typically comes out of that, so at least there's something to look forward to.
