They still have more than a year of development time.
Bold statement given that we haven't seen anything other than a CGI trailer.

As an owner of PS4 and XB1, soon to be 2000 PC and Wii U if it hits a nice price, 2016 is going to cause a massacre to my wallet 
Kind of ridiculous to say considering we know little about it, but then again, I haven't really been overly impressed with anything Comcept has been attached to thus far.

Of those listed, I'm most excited about Quantum Break, Crackdown, and Scalebound. Those are all locks for me.

KI and Recore are all I'm getting. The rest look meh. Maybe the Rare Sea game but that's a wait and see.

Scalebound - I need to see more. I was expecting to be more impressed. I get a Too Human vibe from this game... I had high hopes for that game and was ultimately disappointed.
Crackdown - Enjoyed the first one, will keep my eyes on this one.
Quantum Break - This one looks amazing. Solid gameplay with Hollywood worthy story.
Gears of War 4 - Will likely pick this up. Enjoyed Coop over LIVE.
Recore - This one I am the most excited about... but also very little is known about the title. I love story driven games and this one gives me the feeling that it will have a strong narrative.
Sea of Thieves - Interested because of Rare's reputation, but will likely wait and see on reviews and if friends pick it up.

Yea it's gonna be an expensive year if you own both consoles. im glad to see Xbox invest in 1st party games. I just worry about Recore & it's short dev cycle. Crackdown 2 was made in 2 years so anytime I hear a dev time under 3 my eyebrow raised faster than the Rock's.
What was 2015 that turned into 2016? Quantum Break only.
What was 2014 that turned into 2015? Quantum Break only!
There have hardly been any XB1 delayed games, I really don't get why people think this is a thing for Xbox.
A lot of exclusives, yes. It's not like all of them are going to be hits though. Most of them will probably be good games, but not console selling (other than Gears of War 4), which is what I'm sure the Xbox team would like.
If QB ends up being awesome then maybe that will be system seller too

Shinobi said it's been in a development for a long time.
Didn't Spencer wear a Crackdown shirt back at the first Xbox One E3 in addition to having a Crackdown orb as one of the icons on the dashboard. I want to believe that suggests it was more than just an idea as far back as the first half of 2013.
David Jones co-founded Cloudgine in January 2012 according to his LinkedIn.
I think this will amount to more than 2 years of development time by mid 2016. It's probably closer to 3.

Ah cheers. I really dont see how a game that has been sight unseen outside of a CG trailer is gonna wrap development by the end of 2016 though. Going by the crackdown reveal at Gamescom it looks really early as well. It is lso telling that it is only the Multiplayer that is announced as 2016. What an odd thing to do. Personally, I would be very surprised if either actually drops in 2016 regardless of their announced targets. They both seem more like 2017 titles to me.
isn't Quantum break the only game releasing in the first half of the year though next year? Everything else said Holiday of 2016 or just 2016 in general....usually meaning the fall or holiday season.
EDIT: nvm just saw record and crackdown 3.....bout time they started spreading it out
edit: recore spring of 2016? LOL, yes....something tells me that is getting delayed to later in the year or 2017. Have we even seen any gameplay footage on it yet?
Its coming Spring 2016 into 2017 would be a long delay!

Yeah..Well I am interested in how they are gonna deal with 2017...Seems like they really need a third big franchise to fill the gap between the Gears & Halo years...
I think that a 3rd person action/exploration game could do well...personally I am hoping for SSO2 for 2017
Also, I was watching their E3 presser again recently, and they referred to Recore and a new exclusive "Franchise"...So it makes me wonder if they plan to make it into a series...
A lot of people thought Sunset Overdrive wasn't ready for a 2014 release because they had only shown a CG trailer.
Crackdown and probably Sea of Thieves will be games as a service with more updates and content throughout their lifetime.

ReCore didn't have game play at E3 - I'm guessing it'll get pushed to 2017.
Sea of Thieves also looked like it was a bit further out than next year.
The rest of the list is solid - 2016 is shaping up to be great.

Cuphead is all that I'm excited about. I hope it does well and then comes to other platforms (Vita).
Well they have Halo Wars 2 coming in what I would assume to be 2017. A lot of people seem to be excited about that.
Has there been any talk of Crackdown as a games as service game? I've not gotten that impression from what I've seen at all. Sea of Thieves definitely gives off that vibe though.
While you have a fair point about Sunset Overdrive Insomniac is a known quantity and we know what to expect from them (for the most part) quality wise. The same cannot be said of the Recore dev studio. I would imagine the marketing department would want to show actual gaemplay to assuage any doubts or fears prior to release. Thus the fact we have yet to see any is more of a red flag in this instance.
it's only on PC and XB1
I'm guessing they will have the next halo, Undead labs game,another forza, maybe Sunset overdrive 2

Welcome to the family! Sunset OD & Ori say hello ;D
Forza 7, H3 anniversary is possible even though there's BC I think they'll do it just to carry on tradition and pad out the year, Lionhead's new IP, Undead labs new game
Wild guesses could be Minecraft 2 or Minecraft spinoff game like Minecraft Kart, Sunset Overdrive 2, Ori and the Blind Forest 2.

Crackdown 3 won't get more than a beta next year.
I wonder if Lionhead's new IP will fit the bill. It was summer 2014 when their studio head said they were working on prototypes and we should hear about their new IP by now. I guess it's being kept in the shadows until after Fable Legends is out, and possibly as long as next E3. In any case, if they were targeting late 2017 then that would be about 3 years of work.
I'm sure there will be more Forza and Halo since they're both annual franchises now. Another Rare game is probably in the cards since they have all 4 development barns with "equally secret amounts of stuff." Twisted Pixel supposedly has an AAA IP in the works. It's also quite clear by now that MS is working with third-party devs to work on new or existing IP, so no telling what else could be in store.

I was using Crackdown 2's short dev cycle as to why I'm skeptical about Recore. I recall during e3 Inafune said its only been in development 18 months. Crackdown 3 you're right about. I think they learned their lesson with how they handled 2.

Crackdown 2 had 13 months in its entirety and was just Microsoft being cheap, ReCore had 14 months up to E3 and is going full steam ahead at this point. If the game isnt done they'll delay it, Aaron Greenberg said it something to that effect.
Microsoft dun goofed with MCC but I think they're doing a good job of getting behind their titles, theres 3 teams on ReCore (Armature, Comcept and MS). I have little in the way of concerns over how they'll treat it, they wont fuck it up to be cheap or stupid.

What are they going to talk about at next years E3. Not sure what they are working on for 2017, whatever it is it should be currently in development, so maybe Phantom Dust. Hope it's not Halo 6 and Forza 7...
