Will it, I mean we already have a big blow out for it. All they really need to do is show the price and new ui elements.
And of course what it looks like
They're gonna have to show what games look like on it
Then there's the VR compatibility we haven't heard much about, and whatever secret features we haven't heard about
The dev kit looks slick enough and in line with the S, I think it will be that without the front LED display.
With this E3 and fall being a soft reboot for the Xbox Brand he hope when it comes to first party software we can go back to a variety of things.
- Having your big ticket games like your Forza, Halo, Gears, and new Ip that fit that.
- Smaller and AA games like Ori, Recore, and Phatom Dust
- Single Player games as well as Games as as a service.
- stuff that hits a variety of ages.
Like somehow taking the DNA from the three Xbox gens to get a mix of all three.

I think all games there will be running on Scorpio. You don't need a section like that specifically for Scorpio.
If you clicked the Win key to do a search, you may have used Cortana.
We can dream. If only just one of those came true...,
wait, Futatsugi is rumored to be working on something?
I never understood why he wasnt involved in the new PD in the first place
No, there is no rumor he is working on anything, it's just speculation on my part:
Edit: Its also worth pointing out that last we heard he was interested in making Crimson Dragon a full fledged RPG and also discussing HD ports of the Panzer Dragoon Saga. That was 3+ years ago. Just around the time it takes to make a larger scale game...

I think Crimson Dragon or Panzer Dragoon follow up is more likely because releasing OG Phantom Dust just to have it be overshadowed by a sequel wouldn't be the best timing. Unless we don't see new Phantom Dust until next E3, which would fit, build up the hype and fanbase a bit more.

If they announce an ODST 2 I would be delighted.

Thinking of adding E-Home Entertainment under other studios for MS. It's a joint venture Between MS and besTV in China falling under Xbox China which helps publish games in China and in the west. They have been picking it up lately with games such as Candleman, Mr Pumpkin Adventure, Monkey King Saga, and now just announced Goliath for June 29

I expect they'll have a sizzle reel of games that are getting a Scorpio boost like Halo 5, Gears 4, Forza Horizon 3, Recore, and then a lot of effort will be put on how Scorpio improves third party software by showing Shadow of Wardor, Assassin's Creed Origins, Madden 2018, maybe a couple of older titles like Battlefield 1 and The Division.
Then they'll obviously show Crackdown 3, Ori 2, State of Decay 2, Forza 6, Sea of Thieves, maybe something Halo or Gears related (in the case of the latter, maybe SP DLC?). Have I forgotten anything they've previously announced? Most interesting of all will be what new IPs or franchise reboots they have ready to show.
Hey, I posted this on the E3 thread but I'll repost it here:
Not sure this has been reported already but Mark Lawrence, one of my favourite Fantasy authors, tweeted today that an Xbox game based in one of his short stories could be a possibility.

tweet deleted. Guess either its happening or it isnt a finalized deal yet
Is it? I can still see it. I'll paste it below.

Looks like it's been deleted to me as well. I'd guess he's not supposed to say that until MS are ready to announce the deal, assuming it goes ahead.

You can read what seems to be the full story on his site. But if the game is based on that I'm not gonna read that. That would be a shame if the game turns out to be worth my time.

IGN First this month is a tour of Japanese studios, starting with Platinum.
It's a good read and would say folk should check it out. I felt this was a good thread to put this excerpt
http://m.uk.ign.com/articles/2017/06/06/the-future-of-platinumgames-ign-first
There doesn't seem to be a lot of bad blood or animosity, which is both surprising and reassuring.

Good stuff I'll update it later. Gona distinguish that it's a paid early access though. $15 gets you the Founders Pack to download the game. It will launch for free later in the year

Haha! Good shout, I made the thread about the article but splitting it would probably have been a better idea.
In the current climate it could be a warzone of a thread though, lol.

Definitely!
Great to hear that they aren't enemies or whatsoever. Also not too surprised. I never did think anyone was fully to blame here.
It's still a shame though.

Hey y'all. I know that GAF isn't really our audience, but since OP took the time to actually include the Casual Games Studio, I figured I'd pop in for a little self promo.
Today we just released Microsoft Ultimate Word Games! If you like word games, give it a shot! You can find it on the Windows 10 Store.

Been streaming a bit o' Wordament on Mixer; WIN+G lets you broadcast pretty much anything on a Windows 10 device.
The two main sets of advertising boxes are fairly unobtrusive (side and below) - but man oh man, those full-screen advert videos that pop out from nowhere are terrible. (Makes you wait a while before the X to Close appears).
Very fun casual word game overall, though.

Since Gamescom (so in 2016 and 2017)
Microsoft have announced:
Forza Horizon 3
Forza Motorsport 7
State of Decay 2
Dead Rising 4
Ori 2
Excited for Ori 2 and SOD2, forza is nice, but that is simply not good enough. 2 racers and 2 zombie games? No new ips since recore and sea of thieves in 2015
And to top it all off they cancelled Fable Legends, Scalebound and Knoxville since then
Phil said he wanted to rework first party, all he did was put an axe to it
There are a couple of ports you could probably mention too but I don't think it helps them so I'm not going to bother

People about lack of new big exclusive games from MS, but i think that's just their new strategy, MS showed only games that going to release during this year and first half of 2018. Look at their current first party line-up, most of those games were announced 2+ years ago, obviously they don't want to get in the same trap again. Of course it's not a good image for their line-up overall, but announcing games too early can backfire if team will fail to put all things together and game will be canceled (like Scalebound) or doesn't look as hot as expected (Crackdown 3).
which year?

Think they'll be announcing anything during the daily streams? Not anything big obviously, but I'm still holding out hope for ReCore Definitive Edition. The DLC is long overdue.

Halo Wars 2 DLC is today, and yeah I think we can expect Recore at some point this week. Maybe some Halo 5 DLC for Halo 3's anniversary? Don't think there'll be much else though.

All we saw was CD single player, hoping multiplayer brings it
Also Microsoft is publishing Super Lucky's Tale
