Soooo.... Gears, TR, Halo, Forza, Fable and EA games for 90 minutes?

Hololens, Windows 10 and OR too, if I could make a guess.

Play through the entirety of Rise of the Tomb Raider?

C'mon now, Rise of the Tomb Raider isn't made by Ready at Dawn.

 

[jem0208]

So what is at E3?

90 minutes of Halo 5?

Spoiler

I'd take that...

 

[JumPeRJumPzZ]

Really disappointed :/

So we can expect boring things like W10 and VR gimmicks... ugh

 

[DarthWalden]

Dam, was looking forward to see some game play, hype deflated... So what can we expect to see then?

Halo 5, Gears, Tomb Raider, Forza, Fable Legends and perhaps something new from Rare? Maybe that Joe Montana thing?

Actually that's quite a bit... If they showed off 10 minutes of each of those then that'd be like an hour right there.

 

[presagetogood]

Seeing as Windows 10 is also a relaunch of sorts for XB1, E3 still has to be viewed as a serious part of the effort of regaining gamers and non- core consumers. Since they're skipping what will surely be 3 of their most amazing titles, it makes the possibility of what they chose to keep in the show all the more interesting. They will want to stun...since Windows 10 incorporates features that are all about highlighting the best parts of XB1

 

[CaptNink]

Aww come on! No Crackdown?!

 

[jbug617]

There will probably a demo of the new Xbox update. Phil said he is going to give them stage time for that.

Plants VS Zombies 2.

 

[solis74]

GC is going to be AMAZING!!!!

and E3 has me even more hyped now! what new goodies will be there????

 

[Synth]

From who though? Who else do they got besides Rare? Thats all I can think of.

Why would this be an issue though?

Killer Instinct 2013 wasn't by any of their internal teams..
Ryse wasn't by any of their internal teams.
Crimson Dragon wasn't by any of their internal teams.
Dead Rising wasn't by any of their internal teams.
Forza Horizon 2 wasn't by any of their internal teams.
Dance Central wasn't by any of their internal teams.
Halo MCC was technically not by any of their internal teams lol.

then there's Quantum Break, Scalebound, Crackdown etc. It's never been an issue.

 

[Maintenance]

Plants VS Zombies 2.

Peggle 3.

 

[Rembrandt]

That sucks. Really curious to see how their conference is gonna be this year then. Must have some big things up their sleeves or have tons of demos. Hyped either way, especially for Gamescom.

 

[Obliterator]

Huh they must have some big nukes to unload if they aren't showing any of those 3

 

[Xando]

Must be the first crackdown that will actually release in germany if they show it at GC. Interesting.

 

[jett]

No Scalebound?

Well, one conference just became immensely less interesting.

 

[BananasWithGuns]

Guess they're going to have a pretty massive Gamescom.

I wonder what they have for E3 that forced them to push these games to Gamescom. Must have some reasonably big announcements to make.

 

[Beastdrowski]

Makes sense to me.

E3 to focus on their titles coming out in the fall plus maybe a few surprise announcements.

Gamescom for titles we know won't be coming until at least 2016 or later plus probably recap what's coming out in fall.

 

[-Horizon-]

Gamescom is in august right?
Aww man, I wanted to see some scalebound :/

 

[igordennis]

Well shit. I wanted to see Scalebound so badly.. Im kind of bummed now. Hope their conference has some interesting games still (Ori last year was the best game).

Also i wonder about Scalebound's release date since its real reveal (those CGs at E3 2014 were pathetic now that we have seen what they have produced so far: itsfuckingnothing.gif) will only be later this year. The original leak said early 2016 right? It probably will be summer at the earliest (hopefully Microsoft will give Platinum the time to deliver a great game) given how things are going. Oh well, early 2016 already has too many amazing games already anyway.

 

[Salty Hippo]

I find it hilarious how some people think this is reason not to watch the conference. E3 is and has always been about new announcements, that is why people get hyped and sit down to watch these long ass briefings.

 

[LastChance2Frag]

Good decision spreading them out. Can't wait to see what they announce. Looking forward to that new IP!

 

[silva1991]

I expect a 20 minute Rise demo to make up for this.

Followed by the fully exclusive announcement and cancellation of xboxe360 version

 

[LegalEagleMike]

See the GAF threads last year about Microsoft not respecting Gamescom and blowing their entire load at E3. Cant have both people.

 

[EatChildren]

God is dead.

 

[crazyprac]

Makes sense to me.

E3 to focus on their titles coming out in the fall plus maybe a few surprise announcements.

Gamescom for titles we know won't be coming until at least 2016 or later plus probably recap what's coming out in fall.

Lol yeah okay.

 

[Its Quite Toasty]

I really can't wait till we get past this "fable". The fact that it's something major for e3 again makes me so sad.

 

[Kane1345]

Dammit, really wanted to see Scalebound. Sigh

 

[Banjo-Kazooie]

what first party Studios are left to announce some new games at E3? (besides Rare)

Maybe that strategy game?

New Age of Empires for Windows 10 #believe

 

[De_Legend]

Yeah...

meh?

 

[derFeef]

I just hope it's more than "only" Q4 game demos.

 

[Baroquemantic]

But I wanted to see future goty Crackdown.

 

[JoshHood]

Weird that they even said this. Why not just show whatever you were going to show anyway, then follow up with 'oh that'll be at Gamescom' if people ask after about specific games. Just seems like a sure way to kill hype.

Anyway guys, don't panic - Gamescom is less than two months away, and these games aren't even out until next year!

 

[Boke1879]

Guess they're going to have a pretty massive Gamescom.

I wonder what they have for E3 that forced them to push these games to Gamescom. Must have some reasonably big announcements to make.

I'm gonna say we'll get Halo, Gears remaster plus the new Gears trailer, Forza, Tomb Raider demo and maybe 2 surprise announcements. Then add in windows 10 talk, indie sizzle reel, Future of xbox talk.

 

[Euron]

I didn't expect Crackdown so soon but no Scalebound?!?! That's a game of show caliber game. There better be a huge blowout on Rare's new title and something a little more substantial than a CGI teaser for Gears 4.

 

[_woLf]

I get a feeling we're going to be seeing a loooot of hololens stuff at Microsoft's presser :/

 

[SgtCobra]

Are you ready for third party deals, DLC exclusivity announcements and lots of and lots of CG trailers that may or may not actually become, well, games...

I'd also expect there to be a 10 minute Division demo up there too.

Miles pls.

 

[Ricky Ricardo]

See the GAF threads last year about Microsoft not respecting Gamescom and blowing their entire load at E3. Cant have both people.

It's MS though. No matter what, you know how it goes.

 

[Its Quite Toasty]

I get a feeling we're going to be seeing a loooot of hololens stuff at Microsoft's presser :/

Please stop feeling that you're going to kill my remaining hope.

 

[statham]

E3 = Games releasing this fall, Gamescom - Games releasing in 2016.

 

[Poodlestrike]

Well, then what the hell are they showing?

I really can't wait till we get past this "fable". The fact that it's something major for e3 again makes me so sad.

But... it's actually really good.

 

[LegalEagleMike]

It's MS though. No matter what, you know how it goes.

True words.

 

[BatDan]

I find it hilarious how some people think this is reason not to watch the conference. E3 is and has always been about new announcements, that is why people get hyped and sit down to watch these long ass briefings.

It's not just "new announcements", it's also revisiting stuff they already announced.
We know nothing of Scalebound and Crackdown outside of CG trailers and concept art. This would have been the perfect opportunity to show gameplay. NOPE! CAN'T HAVE THAT! HOW ABOUT MORE CGI TRAILERS?!

 

[jayu26]

"and that's why you don't have E3 and Gamescom so close together"

 

[derFeef]

E3 = Games releasing this fall, Gamescom - Games releasing in 2016.

Megatons though :/

 

[Twin Tails]

Dan Ayoub comes out
Gears Collection
Long Presentation on How It Is Awesome

 

[Ninja Scooter]

I always got the feeling some of that stuff (crackdown in particular) was announced way too early in the first place. It felt like MS just threw together a bunch of CG trailers of stuff that was either super early in development or just starting development. Maybe they need a couple extra months of cooking before being ready to show. Hopefully this doesn't mean that MS' answer ism just to show more CG trailers of stuff that is 2+ years away.

 

[Hellshingu]

30+ mins demo for Halo 5.

20+ mins demo for The Division.

20+ mins demo for Tomb Raider.

30 mins demo for VR.

20 mins of random CG announcement trailers/"gameplay" snippets.

Spoiler

This is all going to be totally wrong.

 

[TacticalFox88]

No Scalebound at MS conference? Welp. Once Halo 5 footage ends I'm turning it off.

What the absolute FUCK, Microsoft?

 

[Chris1]

Uhhh wow. I didn't see that coming.

No Scalebound? No Crackdown?

Those two were my most hyped games to see.

 

[solis74]

Makes sense to me.

E3 to focus on their titles coming out in the fall plus maybe a few surprise announcements.

Gamescom for titles we know won't be coming until at least 2016 or later plus probably recap what's coming out in fall.

Exactly.
