thats the way it should always be just game after game maybe some ecosystem announcements (although i think they'll announce more of that throughout the week after sonys show)
just keep it that way all the other stuff is fluff

Oh yeah, it's almost that time of the year again, bring it on!!!
Yeah, exactly my problem. It was good but unremarkable. It desperately needed a 'one more thing...' megaton.

Realistically, can MS even get major third-party exclusives of the scale that would be a megaton?
Last year's EA-MS exclusivity three-peat with TF,PvZ and P2 was quite unprecedented, and even then, 2 of said timed exclusives are nowhere close to the big EA titles and Titanfall was a unique case of an EA Partners title that had to be salvaged by a first-party.
Stuff like No Man's Sky, I can definitely see the possibility. If Capcom is willing to let MS fund games they wouldn't pay for otherwise, that as well.
But Mass Effect/Red Dead tier of titles? Even 3 months exclusivity sounds insane for titles of that scope, from the top publishers.
(I'm talking realistically. MS has the money to make it happen, but something like that is literally burning cash that's probably far, far more than the entire sum they paid for TF)

I think that and then the COD Gameplay reveal will be their usual two big multi-plat showings.
Sony will likely have Destiny and Assassin's Creed

Yeah, when I first saw phil spencer switch his display on twitter to the original xbox I figured it would be a return to the original . . . now what games they'll be bringing is the question we already know one is halo but how deep will they dig.
the show is pretty short as well so i also expect some new game info to come out this month and then some more even after the show..since im guessing some stuff wont fit in.
Well, frankly they had the most games to show last year as well, but that didn't really help them in the long run. Especially since they showed stuff like Sunset Overdrive, Quantum Break, new Halo and Project Spark, which were very far from release.
I'm eagerly awaiting to see what they cook up this year.

So they're making the first move again. Interesting, after last year
They've got balls.
Things didn't go poorly for them last year because they went first. Things went poorly for them because they announced their high price for no damn reason, and they had dumb policies in place which made them vulnerable to being embarrassingly mocked.
O God No. Not even Platinum can make that game good !

What's this in GMT?
Oh yeah, didn't think about that. It would be perfect for cloud integration. Especially with all the semi-multiplayer stuff they've been talking about.
If I was MS I would offer Azure for free for both X1 and PC as long as No Man's Sky is a console exclusive.

Okay good I am booked the evening of the 9th.
Red Dead is never going to happen but I could see No Man's Sky being exclusive.
TBH, I don't care. Just as long as I can play that game on my Xbox.

I loved their conference last year. I couldn't believe that they opened with The Phantom Pain. 
Hoping for a great show!

Mind blown. That would be cool. I kinda want that now.
Going first is cool. Not much Sony can do,other than with their own game announcements last year they got MS with the price but both consoles need games now.
That's whats going to turn heads as we head into autumn. Lets hope MS is not full of hot air in regards to having so many games some had to be cut.
I would also hope that we don't see lousy CG trailers.

I thought MS has always been the first to go anyway?
I called this in the predictions thread. Only problem is I'd want multiplayer for crimson skies!!!

Id bet it'll be around 6PM PDT on the same day. That's how it was last year.

They work this out beforehand.

Red Dead doesnt have to be exclusive, exclusive but some exclusive DLC and whatnot. Similar to the GTA4 deal
If we are talking big 3rd party exclusives I bet they will get another out of EA and some random Japanese pubs
No Mans Sky just kind of makes sense since the studio would get free / cheap servers out of it and MS needs indie games.
We haven't heard word on Sony and Nintendo yet, have we?

Im dreading it.
What third party multi plats have they tied up this year (AAA or indie).
How many of the exclusivity deals remain from the 360 days.

"drooling"
Even slightly updated with faster load times on Morrowind, RSC2, Crimson Skies, etc.... Sucks to dream sometimes because of the following disappointment.
I hope so.

Is that Quantum Break? If so, looks quite interesting. I'll probably pick it up on PC.
