Must be running scared of that movie-game backlash we are (supposedly) hitting this gen.

Yes. They are running scared for 2 whole months.

 

[Cyborg]

They revealed the game to soon. To bad for all the fans...keep in there guys.

 

[Steverulez]

Expected. Always seemed like something MS would hold back as a headliner for Gamescom. But does anybody else think it'll get pushed even further? Like June to September 2016?

No. They already said it was delayed for positioning/marketing more than development.

 

[WooHooAlex]

Do we know for sure that Scalebound and Crackdown are both going to be at E3?

I kind of figured QB, Scalebound and Crackdown are three of their bigger 2016 titles and they would hold one back for Gamescom. But I definitely expect the other two at their presser on the 16th.

 

[SEGAvangelist]

Making Room For an Alan Wake 2 announcement........Believe!!!!!

I like the way you think.

 

[Bsigg12]

Well hopefully that holds true!

 

[maquiladora]

Sometimes things just aren't ready. It happens.

 

[Dreamgazer]

That and Halo (barely) are all I care about in terms of Microsoft exclusives, outside of a bomb at E3.

Huge bummer.

Well, that is the only thing I care about in terms of the MS conference (sorry halo fans.)

But don't we watch E3 in anticipation of new announcements?

 

[Miles Quaritch]

Well, hopefully. If it's making room for something like Kinect, TV or HoloLens... Meh...

Yes, this is the conference where Kinect will make its roaring return to the MS E3 presser.

I predict 45 minute demos where you use it in conjunction with their cloud powere VR headset and they interact a scene of what Don Mattrick's version of a Xbox One future looked like for the customer.

 

[Boke1879]

Didn't they do this last year as well?

 

[TM94]

Clearing the way for the resurrection of RARE

 

[Rocketz]

That's fine. It's not out till 2016 so it's not a big deal to me.

 

[Jb]

Didn't they do this last year as well?

Yeah... This is so weird.

 

[FordGTGuy]

Didn't they do this last year as well?

Yep, it makes more sense to show off their European studios at Gamescom anyway.

 

[SoapNickTavish]

No Quantum Break at E3, but instead he'll finally be announcing the release date for the highly acclaimed Sam Lake Simulator. Can't wait!

 

[jbug617]

Didn't they do this last year as well?

yep. Gamescom was the debut of gameplay for Quantum Break.

 

[Pooya]

I'm not sure what Remedy is going to do after they ship this, nobody wants to invest in stuff that takes 6+ years to come out and sell middling at best. With recent departures I suspect they're looking for a sale or something not unlike R.A.D. situation, Maybe this will be their hit but doubtful.

 

[VinFTW]

I had completely forgotten about this...

Very nice to hear.

 

[MrCunningham]

Freaks me out knowing that Remedy is now 20 years old. It does'nt feel like it was that long ago when i first played Death Rally.

 

[BluenoseGames]

Talk about the tv tie in ? Doesn't necessarily mean real Quantum Break will be there.

 

[Magic Mushroom]

Do we know for sure that Scalebound and Crackdown are both going to be at E3?

I kind of figured QB, Scalebound and Crackdown are three of their bigger 2016 titles and they would hold one back for Gamescom. But I definitely expect the other two at their presser on the 16th.

Scalebound will probably be there, along with Rare.
Crackdown will probably be at GC as well.

I say probably, but it's just my guesses.

 

[prag16]

What a mess and a shame.

Why's it a "mess"? The game never had a firm release date really, and lots of games get delayed. "Mess" would indicate some kind of development hell, which we haven't heard anything about. They're just taking their sweet time. Cue Miyamoto quote.

 

[The Inventor]

Agghh, right through my little gamer heart

:looks at the sky:

Why?

 

[sam777]

I don't get all the disappointed posts in here, MS said they were saving some stuff for Gamescom, which is only 2 months after E3, so not that long.

 

[Akai__]

I wonder how many titles will be shown and if they are showing some titles twice.

Yes, this is the conference where Kinect will make its roaring return to the MS E3 presser.

I predict 45 minute demos where you use it in conjunction with their cloud powere VR headset and they interact a scene of what Don Mattrick's version of a Xbox One future looked like for the customer.

I know it won't happen, but just the thought of it is killing me. Really don't want them to talk about those on the stage, but that's just my opinion.

 

[FordGTGuy]

Not to mention Quantum Break is dropping in 2016 and they probably want to show off more stuff coming out this year at E3.

 

[Prine]

I hope this is because ms have a lot of games to announce. Man I'm so sad at this piece of news

 

[dancrane212]

No Quantum Break at E3, but instead he'll finally be announcing the release date for the highly acclaimed Sam Lake Simulator. Can't wait!

 

[Wishmaster92]

Not this shit again. I wanted to see it at e3

 

[Son Of D]

Okay it only applies to Quantum Break and FFXV but I just wanted to make that.

 

[RespectThySole]

Damn I was hoping it would be at E3.

 

[FordGTGuy]

I know it won't happen, but just the though of it is killing me. Really don't want them to talk about those on the stage, but that's just my opinion.

People might hate it but if they at the least announced a large update for Kinect with new voice commands at E3... well I would be very happy.

 

[AllIsOneIsNone]

Just put Crackdown gameplay in it's place and I'll be a happy man.

 

[Xaero Gravity]

Talk about the tv tie in ? Doesn't necessarily mean real Quantum Break will be there.

What?

 

[JAYSIMPLE]

So people think it's weird that the European company is showing their game at the European show? Why are people looking too much into this? Did they say it was going to be at E3 and they've cancelled? Just wondering if I've missed something, because there's a few extreme posts in this thread

 

[jelly]

It's only one guy working on Quantum Break, give him time.

 

[etta]

Hell yea. The Kinect has changed the way I use my consoles lol. Sometimes I yell at my PS4 to go to Netflix, the damn thing doesn't obey me.

 

[Pachimari]

I'm happy about that. The last showing completely turned me off the game, so more time for other stuff.

 

[SgtCobra]

That was actually pretty unexpected...

 

[FordGTGuy]

What?

I didn't know how to respond to that one either.

 

[BluenoseGames]

What?

Yeah there's a TV show tie in to Quantum Break, which could be talked about @ E3

I read that tweet wrong, I read it as Phil saying QB would both be @ E3 and Gamescom.

Probably because half of the industry now makes the trek from Europe and Asia to L.A. and it's pretty much expected of them plus it is actually an MS first-party published title.

 

[_Ryo_]

Hopefully they didn't move it just for Halo 5.

Let's see that new Rare IP, Microsoft.

 

[SlipperyMoose]

They skipped last E3 for Gamescom I believe. As much as I want to see footage st E3 at least their lineup isn't so E3 top heavy.

 

[BeforeU]

Cool, they did the same last year. MS had full 90min of games. Expecting the same.

Nothing interests me in Microsoft's conference then.

Ok.gif

 

[Akai__]

I don't know. I see it as something, that could just be announced in the next preview update. Don't see the need for it on E3.

 

[Guri]

Remedy is from Finland and Gamescom is in Germany. I think that's why they keep choosing it instead of E3.

 

[Servbot24]

Up to Scalebound now.

 

[SuperInuit]

NOOOOOO...kay, I can wait. The last footage released was incredible.

 

[BloodR0se]

Yeah there's a TV show tie in to Quantum Break, which could be talked about @ E3

Oh fuck no. The last thing we need is another Powers-like announcement hogging up stage time that could actually be used to demo or announce games.
