Quantum Break to skip E3, new footage at Gamescom
- Thread starter Nibel
- Start date
Sounds preposterous to me.

What mess are you referring to?
We know that QB is scheduled for Spring 2016. We now know we will learn more at Gamescom. We know that Phil Spencer has mentioned how they are having difficulty accommodating time for all the games that they have.
So given a choice of seeing more new games, or an update of QB, I am going with the former option.

The mess part for me is the consequence of showing off a game way too early. I wish less developers would stopping doing that.

Good imo. Game isn't releasing this year, save it for Gamescom. I want them to spend E3 talking and showing this fall's games(Halo 5, Forza 6, Tomb Raider, Gears 1 Remaster ect, and announce some new stuff obviously. Don't really need a 7 minute QB demo...it worked well at Gamescom last year

Not wholly unexpected but that basically has removed any sort of desire for me to watch Microsoft's conference. Nothing else I'm remotely interested so far.

Because you know exactly what they'll show during their conference before it happens?
Yeah ditto, with the exception of Tomb Raider.
I'm sure Microsoft will not have any new games to announce.
Please stop. Xbox has games.
Quantum is looking to be a mid to late 2016 release at this point.

Fine with it and honestly glad it's not going to be at e3... we already seen it at e3 twice

The right thing to do since it will not be released this year.
And I'm pretty sure because of that we will be seeing Crackdown gameplay at e3.

Didn't you hear? The briefing will be 90 minutes of Phil Spencer doing workout sessions on Xbox Fitness.

I know what it is, but it's not a tie in. It's a part of the game.
Edit** ^^ same time...lol
LOL
There are still people that don't realize the "TV Show" and the Game are the same thing.

Don't worry, at least we now have a tutorial on how to do the Max Payne face, by the man himself.
You are mistaken if you think Gamescom is just some "rinky dink" small show.

I hope Rare joins them at Gameson. One game for e3 and another for Gamescon.
it's no E3 though is it. E3 is the daddy. gamecom is like the distant cousins. lol
Have they confirmed release year yet? Is it 2016 now?

Good. Plus it isn't that far from e3. Busy summer for MS and their 1st party games.
gimmie that 20 minute gameplay demo without a time constraint at e3!
gimmie that 20 minute gameplay demo without a time constraint at e3!I take it Spencer is feeling really good about E3, so he moved it out. If we still get to see Rare's new game, some of the Halo 5 campaign, Scalebound, Crackdown, Gears remaster, Gears 4 teaser, Forza 6, Rise of the Tomb Raider gameplay, et al then it's still a really strong show.
I hope Remedy shows us a brand new area in August.

Depends what you're measuring.

They're still doing the TV stuff... I doubt that has changed. But its a big game and they're not a huge studio (but bigger now)
Thanks!
Crazy talk.

I can understand not being on the previous E3 because of the required time to create substantial demos. But this makes zero sense on a marketing level, we're talking about the biggest games event of all time. Unless they're demo is not up to snuff till gamescom, I really have a hard time buying into that reasoning.

HOW ARE THEY GOING TO DO AN ENTIRECONFERENCE OF JUST HALO BECAUSE THATS ALL MS HAS? NOTHING ELSE INTERESTS ME
;p
Maybe before but Gamescom is almost as big as E3 now. Gamescom also draws in an attendence that is 7 times greater than E3.
I think it's crazy to miss any conference but that's just my e3 hype train mentality lol. Are you watching any ones conference this year? Your not interested in possible surprises?

They don't tend to make games I'm that interested in from a 1st party standpoint anymore. I've grown tired of many series over the years (not just Microsoft's) but their E3 probably won't do it for me. If you love their tried and tested series though, no doubt it'll be a great conference.
Each to their own. I'll just have to patiently wait until GC for Quantum Break. Needs a good showing to convince me.
I'm sure I'll watch all of them, I just aren't looking forward to a couple (Microsoft, Ubisoft, PC etc). I'm all up for surprises, I just don't see where any substantial ones will be coming from Microsoft on a 1st party level. 3rd parties would be nuts to make an exclusive for the Xbox One and at best they'll be timed. They need a load of killer new IP for me. Scalebound is a start, but even then I'm not really into Platinum Games and we don't know a lot about the game as a whole. If its good though, I'll be there.
