Microsoft Studios / Xbox:

- The Division (gameplay demo. Release: November 2015)

Great list, but i just can't see The Division releasing this year. Not with Rainbow Six Siege and Assassins Creed already releasing this year.

And what was the last time we had any info update on the game?

Ubi and MS have both been pretty adamant that it is this year. It of course could suffer a last minute delay (and by this I mean they know it is delayed already but just haven't publically said it), but we will see soon enough :p

Yeah, i think at E3 we will have a final (until the next delay wave) release date to the games that we saw previously.

I just think it would be more intelligent to release the game Q2 next year, like they did with Watch Dogs.

This year is already stacked with releases, but you never know what the publishers think is best.

The only thing I know about this E3, is that I will finally be able to actually post on GAF during it. After years of lurking!

On topic, I will be extremely happy or sad depending on if Bethesda shows the next Fallout or Elder Scrolls.

The Division could easily be released late September or early to mid October.

He's clearly playing the insider card here, hope he gets the full treatment (vetting process) from bish.

Last thing we need are more insider-posers.

Yeah, i know. But doing this Ubi would have:

Set-Out: The Division
Nov: Ass. Creed Victory
Dec: Rainbow Six

I know that last year they launched Unity, The Crew And Far Cry 4 in the last 3 months of the year, but i see The Division as a much bigger game than The Crew. And as i said i think that launching Watch Dogs outside of the holidays gave the game a big spotlight.

And knowing Ubisoft i think that if the game were launching in 5, 6 months we would had been buried by lots of marketing by now.

R6 will probably be early Oct, or delayed into early spring TBH. It's not releasing December (because who does that?), and I don't see Ubi sending it to die against Halo/Battlefront/Blops3.

I'm sure they will delay Division into Q1 2016
Victory = November/October
R6 Siege = October

Only SCE Japan Studio has multiple teams I think.

Sure, among most studios there's probably always one smaller group prototyping next games when production of the studio's game ramps up, but that isn't really a 100% independent full size production team with artists, designers, programmers, writers, modelers etc.
Click to expand...

It's been confirmed many times that nearly all the studios have more than one team

I guess I should have been more specific then. We "know" what most of them ate working on but I want to SEE it. I need to KNOW know. You know?

I agree with Turkoop that The Divion is the game that will be delayed to 2016. Between it and Siege, the former didn't had an update for some time now.

And Siege had the closed beta (or was it an alpha) some months ago.

Dont makes Sense for me to release 3 Big AAA Titles within 45 days or so, competition is also big

I could see if it was EA or 2k( any game besides GTA) but Ubi strikes me as the kind of company that would say f it and release the division and assassins creed a week apart in November

Granted that's assuming the division is ready. If the game is ready I can't see them delaying due to other games releasing

If anything Rainbow Six should be delayed, it's quite a crowded FPS season.

Bethesda is definitely showing Fallout. They aren't holding an E3 press conference to show off DOOM or whatever Arkane has been wroking on. That's obviously for Fallout since Todd Howard's RPG's are big enough now to be able to justify a conference. Of course their other studios are going to show stuff and the FO reveal will likely be the last thing they show, but it's absolutely the reason why there is a conference in the first place.

Sure, genre fatigue is something that should be considered when setting the game release, but at least Siege is a different take on the formula compared to the other 3 heavy hitters (smaller player count, squad focused, tactical gameplay).

And if the game releases in Oct it will be before the blockbuster month, and the game can enjoy a period without rough competition.

It's different, but it can and likely easily will drown in the hype that the other three shooters will generate. CoD is the biggest shooter around, HALO is the most important IP from MP, and Battlefront is a new Star Wars gaming releasing a month before a new movie. It's best to just get the fuck out of the way of all of those.

UBI has a history of launching games in November and having them just get swallowed up by the major titles released the. They did that with BG&E and Rayman Origins. No reason to add Siege to that list.

Yeah, that's a good point. And another reason why i don't see them releasing The Division this year. The game is from other genre, but you have 3 monster games releasing latter this year and you have a game that only the most hardcore fans remember.

I don't think Ubi can ramp up marketing for the game in the following months to match the hype that will be generated by COD, Halo, Battlefront. And they still need to run Assassins Creed marketing (i don't think MS will do that for them this year too)

I didn't even think of AC. If that releases in November along with Siege, then it's obviously which one is going to get the majority of the attention from them.

This November in general just seems like a bad time to release a game unless it's in a really huge franchise that can withstand that storm. Better to try to move a game up to October, or into December or 2016. Give a game a chance that it likely won't have if it has to face all those major games.

yup
1. it was a mess, Crew & Unity launched bad
2. Competition of this year are incredible - Just Cause 3, MGSV, Mad Max, Star Wars, CoD & more !

Which is why I don't understand why you think the Division will be the one delayed. It seems the most unique genre wise this fall. Nothing else releasing is close to it.

R6 on the other hand will get slaughtered in direct competition with the Fall shooters. It either needs to lead, or be far enough away that everyone's bored.

Division was in pre-Alpha testing over 2 months ago. It's most likely hit Alpha by now.

I was really hyped for Division, i like the idea and always wanted a Game like this, but they released no infos in the last months, it's really quiet around the game.
I cannot imagine that they will release the Game this year.
If Ubisoft plans to release The Division with a downgrade + massive server issues, they gonna be destroyed !
The division built in a very short period a huge fanbase, Ubisoft is dead when they fuck up Division.
If I remember right, there was a closed Beta several weeks ago, thats a good sign.

I am the most excited for this E3 than most, simply because of Bethesda.

Fallout 4
Elder Scrolls 6
Dishonored 2

Any of those will make me jump for joy and/or wet my pants. Elder Scrolls 6 would be a potential heart attack.

With Witcher 3 releasing pre-E3, it would be nice to see at least a tease of Cyber Punk 2033 for CD Project.
