If true, it's the beginning of a strong line up for holiday 2014. I'm sure there are other exclusive surprises coming at E3, but who knows if they'll be ready in time for holiday. I don't see how any of this is worrisome. How is adding content to a portfolio worrisome?

To those saying the leaks are hurting MS in some fashion, saying/talking is one thing and actual visuals are another. One can Talk Halo2 for weeks, but when actual screen shots, video or in depth details are released, interest spikes accordingly.
Like a movie. Say studio has rights to make "Justice League" for example, buzz. Months later, writer/casting/director/etc announced or "leaked", more buzz. Month after that, set shots leaked, more buzz. Teaser? even more buzz. And so on.

Exactly. It's amazing how some still think MS will bring that back and drop disc support. With that said who here would buy a $399 XBox One that came without a optical disc drive but with 1TB hard drive a one year of Live?
Don't know about "of all time", but absolutely nothing other than maybe what Black Tusk might have been working on before here is exciting to me.
I guess my idea of what a megaton refers to is completely different to that shared by many users. Not to diminish the impact of the announced games, but most, if not all of them we've been anticipating for some time now.
Still, MS 2014 line up is fantastic : Sunset Overdrive, Quantum Break and Forza Horizon 2 in the upcoming months is a huge incentive...WOW!

I need Shangheist to resurface one day simply due to the name.

Yep. And never mind the fact that the only plausible reason for 24hr checks in the first place was to account for physical discs being authorized/deauthorized.
A system with no disc drive has less of a need for "always online" DRM, not more.
16 maps in Titanfall supposedly. However this info was coupled with stuff which was flat out denied by Respawn so take it with a grain of salt.
Ergo, I said "from MS" given Quantum Break and Titanfall are both exclusive to xbone.

Agreed. Those people knew more of those were inevitable.
According to CBOAT. Titanfall will have 16 maps out the gate (with DLC already being worked on). Also according to CBOAT - final game uses the textures from the alpha that's already out. The thread was locked after a dev specifically denied the latter.
lol, they still have to actually announce this stuff.
Maybe not no much at once but leaks have happened before such as Ps4/X1 specs, launch titles, and info about other games. This is nothing too strange on NeoGaf.
The boatman continues to sink. Haha

this is a better approach than paying youtubers to drum up interest in the bone.

$399 optical drive less console. Cheaper, but you cannot play or sell used games.
hmmm.
hmmm.
I doubt it's intentional. This damages their marketing rollout plan. There will be people who will wait till October, now that they know there will be a white SKU or November if they want the 1 TB SKU. Most of the game related leaks, except Halo 2 are not exciting enough to hype people up since they were mostly expected. Knowing Crackdown comes in 2016 or Halo 5 in 2015 won't do anything for MS in 2014. This leak, if true, will do more harm for MS than good. It's all exciting for us, but doesn't really translate to $$$ for them.
Are you surprised?

If you don't care for Halo or Forza there isn't much new or exciting here. Quantum Break and Sunset Overdrive were previously revealed, so it is conceivable some are not interested in those as well. Personally I am only interested in QB, but their messaging on that game has been pretty awful in my opinion.
You really think that they are just going to screw the folks that have one with a drive and stop releasing physical copies? Come on, man. They can easily release a separate SKU a year after launch. It's not a replacement, it's merely another option.
I certainly don t doubt this, unfortunately. I guess 5 is the threshold for the number of unchanged sequels from where gamers consider new things might be mandatory.

Ahh, thanks. I'm not expecting a lot of features, modes or maps for Titanfall, but hopefully that's not the case.

Sigh at the wasted potential of the Black Tusk game however, this year seems surprisingly good for XB1. Better than PS4 outlook thus far.
Hope this leak is solid but I'm skeptical about all leaks now considering the track records in the past year and basically have to take their word for it. Apart from specs, some of the leaks have been pretty damn negative and some turning out to be completely false.

That was kinda my reaction. Don't get me wrong, it's still cool to read in advance. But it's an HD remaster, Fable, Halo, Gears, and Crackdown. I guess I'm not going to miss much not having an Xbox through 2016. I'm not a fan of those series.

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
Also can't get games on the cheap.
Games on live tend to be generally over priced compared to the market.
I'm not saying it's the most exciting leak of all time however saying that it's worrying for MS is just silly.

I totally agree with you. Only Quantum Break sparks some interest. I couldn't care less about more Gears of Wars, Halo or Forza.
I'm SO tired of Hollywood-ish shooters...

I just have a strong feeling something Class 4 related will be announced at E3. Maybe even a Jrpg... Just a feeling, but of course I could be wrong. I hope not though...
Respawn specifically denied the texture stuff.
Doubt that.

respawn denied the texture thing on twitter
That's exactly what they wanted to do with the Xbox One when it was first announced. The Xbox One clearly wasn't intended to be a physical disc centric device as evidenced by the insane DRM on it. The Xbox One as Microsoft originally announced it should've been drive-less in the first place to match their "vision".

Pretty much.
The news itself is good. Great games are coming, new SKUs, blahblahblah.
But the dates are kinda of a killer. Halo 5 next year? Crackdown in 2016? Gears in 2016? Those clinches it as the big reveals for E3 this year, which takes away the hype and mystique going into E3.
I'm kinda nervous for CBoaT, I hope it wasn't a trap like someone suggested to out Cboats real identity...
Link?
