Scalebound was the only MS game that i was curious to see,now i can skip their conference with no regrets.

 

[Hatty]

" Transported to a distant, hostile world, you'll come face to face with fearsome creatures, including a formidable dragon. The bond you forge with this awesome predator will prove crucial to the survival of this world, and your own."

That says nothing about the gameplay which is the most important part

 

[nib95]

A new bunch of CGs?

Hope not. Hope this isn't also just a strategy to make them look better at Gamescom as they know Sony won't be there. Still want a kick ass E3...

 

[GoldenCrow]

FFS! The only game I want to know about from Microsoft is Scalebound at the moment. Sure FM6 is cool but it isn't like I don't know what that will be.

With all the early announcements and postponements this E3 has been really unusual so far.

 

[Banjo-Kazooie]

That says nothing about the gameplay which is the most important part

Ya just saying that's literally the only thing we have so far unfortunately

 

[Remark]

How about we wait until Microsoft's E3 before going out of control, okay

 

[RoboPlato]

Bummed about both QB and SB missing E3. Those were the things I was most excited to see from them outside of Halo.

 

[shanew21]

Gears Remastered + Fable + Halo + Tomb Raider + Plants vs Zombies + Forza + Hololens.

Remove Hololens, add Rare and something out of left field.

Hololens won't be a conference thing. It's too far out and too tech demo-y.

 

[Mushroomer25]

You must be new here.

We lost control weeks ago.

 

[SEGAvangelist]

Hope not. Hope this isn't also just a strategy to make them look better at Gamescom as they know Sony won't be there. Still want a kick ass E3...

I believe Phil Spencer already said the conference would be more gameplay focused.

 

[RdN]

I see this as good news.

These 3 titles are 2016 games, so there are other chances to show them.

Also, it probably means more space for new titles at E3, which would be very good.

 

[Revven]

Woopee more CG trailers from Microsoft then. Well, except for something like Gears of War (the remaster), Halo 5, and Tomb Raider, probably. Anything that's new is likely to be a CG trailer... :/

I was looking forward to seeing Scalebound, too. Even if I'm never getting an Xbone, Platinum Games titles always interest me.

 

[igordennis]

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

I highly doubt Microsoft will restrain themselves like that this E3. In 2014 they "showed" Phantom Dust which may as well be canceled now going by the studio comments, Crackdown and Scalebound both of which we have seen nothing since then (unless i missed something?). I expect they will show some stuff pretty far out.

And anyway dont you expect megatons and surprises for this E3 (your post on the 1st page)? Its pretty unlikely that Microsoft would have a game to announce of that caliber ready for this fall. And even if they have it would be foolish to release it this fall, since they already have Forza, Tomb Raider and Halo, which is already arguably overkill. Anymore would be stupid.

 

[RowdyReverb]

Glad there will be at least something to look forward to at Gamescom

 

[Lucreto]

PC and Windows 10 might play a bigger part than what I thought during the conference.

 

[Darksol]

The three games I'm interested in seeing. Bah

 

[pswii60]

So no Scalebound at E3? Fuck.

Just 2 more months.

 

[Xpliskin]

I wonder what they have in store instead.


Well a Last Guardian re-reveal would overshadow everything else, that's the problem.

 

[orochi91]

Dark Souls 3 will probably be at the MS conference.

Windows (PC) + Xbox will have a greater combined market share than PS, so it would make sense to appear there.

 

[bigboss370]

Gears of War trailer at E3 then?

 

[Benzychenz]

So E3 is going to be Halo, Gears and Forza?

It's like a metaphor

Spoiler

(I don't think that's the right word but it's still early here)

for why I find it hard to like their consoles.

 

[RoboPlato]

Gears Remastered + Fable + Halo + Tomb Raider + Plants vs Zombies + Forza + Hololens.

I imagine Ubi will have a large presence as well. MS has comarketing for The Division and I expect the AC deal to continue.

 

[Ramenman]

what ? "so much to show" that not even Crackdown or Scalebound ? Wtf, i'd like to see that D:

this was the principal reason I was looking forward to MS's conference.


Now all I'm left with is sadness and the hope that Rare's new game will be shown and cool.

All of that to show us demos of call of duty and assasin's creed. booyah.


Meh.

 

[sam777]

Remove Hololens, add Rare and something out of left field.

Hololens won't be a conference thing. It's too far out and too tech demo-y.

Lionheads new ip possibly?

 

[Einbroch]

Assuming they've got some cool stuff up their sleeve, I'm excited to see what they offer.

If it's "well, these aren't ready, sooo..." then it's gonna be one sad, sad conference.

 

[MatrixMan.EXE]

I imagine Ubi will have a large presence as well. MS has comarketing for The Division and I expect the AC deal to continue.

I think Sony is back on the AC train this year.

 

[Demon Lizardman]

Fuck, I was really looking forward to Scalebound. Crackdown I understand but man, they better not focus too much on Hololens and the Rare title better be Banjo Threeie or something as awesome as that.

 

[Salty Hippo]

I can see another reason if you really believe that's all they'll show.

 

[Emperor_EL]

Damn Microsoft, can we at least get some confirmation on what kind of game Scalebound is? Starting to feel like the game wasn't ready to be announced like Phantom Dust.

 

[Rembrandt]

Or it could be like their last E3 where we see unannounced games and shit, you know.

 

[wild wild rice]

Was really hoping to see some Scalebound. Guess my wallet is safe for now.

 

[ZeroGravity]

This almost guarantees amazing stuff at E3...this is awesome.

It doesn't guarantee anything. Especially for Microsoft, who are no strangers to bad E3 conferences.

 

[Kaako]

Uhhh...Scalebound gameplay was the only thing I was looking forward to from the MS press conference. That shit better be there in at least gameplay trailer form cause fuck this.

 

[Magic Mushroom]

This makes me very hype for GC, which I'll be attending.

Not all that interested in their E3 presser anymore though. It's basically up to Rare for me now.

 

[mdubs]

So no Scalebound at E3? Fuck.

.

Massive hype deflation

 

[derFeef]

It doesn't guarantee anything. Especially for Microsoft, who are no strangers to bad E3 conferences.

No company is.

 

[Synth]

I can see another reason if you really believe that's all they'll show.

It's like a metaphor for people's ignorance on any Xbox games outside of those three.

 

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

Uhhh...Scalebound gameplay was the only thing I was looking forward to from the MS press conference. That shit better be there in at least gameplay trailer form cause fuck this.

Dude what did he just say?

 

[RespectThySole]

Extremely disappointing.

 

[Maintenance]

RIP Black Tusk's spy (?) game.

 

[Jigorath]

Sigh.

Really wanted to see Crackdown too.

 

[Hyperfludd]

Boo..really wanted to see Scalebound and Crackdown. Ah well...hopefully they'll have something in store to replace them on stage.

 

[allan-bh]

Good, could be a sign for more unannounced titles.

 

[El_Chino]

E3 2015 is for 2015 and early 2016 titles.

Gamescom is for Spring 2016 titles and beyond.

 

[Grisby]

Hope they bring it then.

 

[Gestault]

well you lose microsoft.. screw that. I like gears and stuff but dont bombard us with those things. Damnit

Wouldn't this be a sign they'll be showing more unknowns?

 

[abadguy]

Keep pushing that Crackdown reveal...not exactly reassuring.

"Keep pushing it", when was the last time they "pushed" a Crackdown reveal?

 

[Lichter]

Microsoft... They've already lost E3.

 

[Lakitu]

That's a huge shame :/ I let Quantum Break slide, even though I really want to see it but now Scalebound and Crackdown too? They better have some good stuff and not just some CG trailers.

 

[Sydle]

Ugh, I was really looking forward to Scalebound.

God I hope the E3 show is not Rare game, Gears remaster, Gears 4 teaser, Tomb Raider, Halo 5 campaign, Forza 6, and the rest HoloLens. There needs to be like at least 2-3 more big reveals and several smaller ones to accompany that lineup.
