I still can't get over this, Scalebound was BY FAR the Xbox One game i was anticipating the most.
It is not cancelled, just no show at E3. It still can be one of your most anticipated games.

What a fucking bummer Scalebound was the gameplay reveal I was the most excited for this year's E3. Crackdown would have been such a cool demo too.
I just hope that mystery Platinum game delivers. I would very much like to see what they can do with current gen hardware.
Pretty sure the at E3 was implied.

I needed either consoles to play Witcher 3 soon.

I'm gonna be pissed if they have time to do live stage demos of CoD or Assassins creed but not for these titles.

Totally agree. I hope that they have plenty of 1st and 2nd party instead of those two you just mentioned.

Nice! Covering Gamescom for work so looking forward to watching all these games live!

This wait is already killing me. Another two months ughh..
This what i love about CoD/Ass creed moving to Sony, we avoid these games taking up valuable conference time. Worst part of MS conferences for a long time, barely anyone speaks about it on gaming forums. Good riddance.
I would have liked Star Wars Battlefront demo though, but EA will take care of that later in the day

This could be indicative of Microsoft having a really good conference the way I see it. There are only six weeks between E3 and Gamescom this year, so it's not like the games simply aren't ready to show yet and they need more time. I mean, what real difference does a few weeks make when it comes to bundling together some gameplay footage? Nah, I think they've got a lot of new stuff to show come Monday.
Lucky bastid!
Wish i had the time/money to go to these things. Always wanted to go to E3, Gamescom and TGS. Funny in this thread going by many posts, one would think that Gamescom were some small gathering of like 200 guests in a random motel off the highway.Lucky bastid!
Haha. Gamescom is big. Too big. Scary big.
In terms of people at least.
Also wasn't Crackdown and Remedy always more of a Gamescom thing?
Dat Windows 10 priority
Seems like MS hopes to get some goodwill back in Europe. They bitterly needed.
Sony already killing it with all their Pre-E3 announcements and MS still has nothing showed except some PR statements and the Xbone controller with every OR unit. That´s pretty weak imo

I wonder, since both presentations are separate, the console and PC announcements will be independent of each other at E3. Games debuting footage for the first time that are also going to come out on PC would make sense to show at PC and Xbox conference.
Wouldn't be too surprised to see Crackdown end up being one of those cross-platform games.

Plus they have to show several unknown games.
We know Rare is working on 1 or 2 games.
Killer Instinct Season 3?
The JRPG from Toylogic.
The new game from Nero's developers.
Forza Motorsport 6.
Gears of War.
And this is just what we know right now, between leaks and confirmations.
If they are confident in moving that three games to GamesCom (maybe for sending a message to Europe?) i guess they are still quite confident in what they have in the oven for E3.

We're not gonna see lots of unannounced titels. MS doesn't have as many first parties as Sony. What we're gona see is a lot of Halo, Gears, Forza and Tomb Raider, as wel as a Rare reveal. Apart from that, not expecting much.

I'm still not sure these guys know what the fuck they are doing this generation.
Its such a big contrast to the first few years of the 360 its not even funny.
Maybe the fact that the market didn't give 2 shits about Kinect has scuppered whatever roadmap they had more than we realise.

Can't see why this is not possible.
Even Sony is announcing lots of externally-developed games and people is rooting for Mime, Street Fighter V and No Man's Sky, for instance.

This again? What makes you think this? I thought the last count was that MS had more first party developers and even sony mentioned they would be relying on 3RD parties this year.
you might not be expecting much, but I'm expecting a few surprises.and a quality first party lineup.

Microsoft must have a lot of big stuff for e3 moving these out then. Also it shows they plan on making gamescom big As well. Very well done msft. Can't wait for e3 xD
Sorry, but this comes off as PR spin. Yes, maybe they have so much content it simply wouldn't all fit into E3, BUT the content they push off is 3 of their bigger upcoming titles? Who knows, maybe M$ has atomic bombs to drop, but I will be surprised if it is not more related to not having enough polish ready to make sure people stay hyped for those three games.

It's more a comment on there being absolutely no update since it's reveal a year ago. Everyone and their mother was expecting it at E3 and now it's been pushed to GC, which is fair enough, MS needs some games to showcase at GC, but it's getting ridiculous.
CD, PD, SB. Three games that were revealed with CG trailers and one of which is already in trouble with the original going under because MS unceremoniously pulled the plug and refuse to say anything more than it's still in development.
You're better than this.

I take it you mean Rime? That's a Sony exclusive, MS doesn't really have equivalents of those (games like Journey, Unfinished Swan, and now Rime, Rapture, Tomorrow Children, Edith Finch etc.). At best they have some indie console exclusivity, like Ori last year.
But they said they would focus on first party titles, so I have no idea what else they're gonna show besides the games I mentioned.
I'd like to be surprised, I just can't really see it.
It's not a dig at MS, I can't wait for their GC presser as I'm really interested in Scalebound and Crackdown. But more Halo, Gears and Forza isn't exactly floating my boat. Which is why I hope Rare comes out guns blazing.

Of course it's PR, the point is whether that PR is backed up at E3 and Gamescom or not.
MS does have stuff like Kalimba (to name one already out), Below, Cuphead etc as well. These are not/presumably not titles to be sniffed at.

Microsoft said E3 was focusing on first party.
1. stop saying M$, please....
2. The only thing I don't like about it, is how they wrote this. "too much games" - it just leads up to disappointment in one way or another.

Rockefellers. Skull and Bones. Microsoft. Al Qaeda. A Cabal of Bankers. The melting point of steel. What do these things have in common? Wake up sheeple, the landfill wasn't even REAL!

I can't even tell anymore if people are slyly parodying the bizarre almost concern trolling tone that has infested MS centric threads. Or actually believe some of the ott silliness they write.
I highly doubt it's because of polish. Nothing big will happen in the 6-7 weeks between e3 and gamescom. I think it's purely strategy, and it actually kind of makes sense. I just hope they have plenty of new stuff to account for these three games.

According to my friend, it's speculated to be full of first-party exclusives.
Why does this come up so often?...
All three games being pushed to GC aren't internally developed either.
Sorry, the $ comes from being up way to early, let my ancient MS angst shade my tone.
MS has a history of PR spinning a lot of things, and I think it is simply more likely they want a little more time to make sure those important games look good when they do show them than they have so much they can't fit it all in.
If true, I would respect them a lot more if they simply stated it as such. "X, Y, and Z are important games for our fans, we want to make sure people see them the way we expect them to look and not in a less ideal state, so we are holding off a little longer to show them."

I'm so close to buying an Xbox One and Scalebound was something I was very excited to see more of at E3. Hopefully Tomb Raider and whatever Rare has been cooking up will push me to make my purchase.
6-7 weeks can be a huge amount of time when it comes to putting together a demo.

Somebody please give me some links for those Pre-E3 announcements. I just want to know how MS is killed again.
Thanks a lot~!
