Lol stop making up bullshit.
My main concern about this year is - what do they show that they haven't already last year? From your list there are 8 games still not released on Xbox one (7 if you remove black tusk now). Do they retread and show the latest footage from quantum break etc, or start dipping into the 2016 portfolio to try and show is something new?

One thing I'd REALLY love is: you show a game at e3? At the same time, a short demo appears on Xbox LIVE Marketplace.
They did this some time ago with Too Human and it was nice. I know, i know, it is resource-consuming. Yet, that would be a perfect way to "make people feel like they're there".

Great post after it's been proven that microsoft saved Titanfall, and sony passed on it.
I wonder what EA and Microsoft say to that savior theory though.

They'll show some 2015 games, I wouldn't go as far as 2016, unless some are delayed at a later date. Out of the games announced last year, Sunset Overdrive, Quantum Break, and Halo (although not necessarily Halo 5 that was teased in that video) are a lock for returning this year. Maybe we'll see another Project Spark trailer, but I'm not so sure, and Killer Instinct will probably get its 2nd season revealed (which is a new announcement in my book). Below and D4 will be at E3, but I don't think we'll see them at the conference.

There will be a stage demo, too big an opportunity to pass up I think.
Seems like it's just the EDGE preview this week (along with screenshots, of course).
The first real gameplay being at E3 wouldn't be surprising.

I can't remember him saying anything about the kinect in his recent interviews and one on ones. I want to believe that means something

Really like this new image Spencer is creating for the brand. That being said its good he knows its time for MS to make drastic moves this line in particular:
Makes me think they are rolling out as many presentable titles as feasibly possible and not holding anything back.
Great news if they have some impressive stuff.

Hmm, maybe. I am not a big fan of stage(ed) demos at E3 of games we have seen previously.
Could mean it's playable at E3 and they just show a new trailer
Does it?

I really hope MS can bring it around. I remember when I bought the original Xbox. It was awesome. I loved that thing. I loved my PlayStation too, but the Xbox just had something about it. Then the 360 which was my main last gen console. They got so much right, (and a lot wrong) with that. For most of the last gen, my PS3 was barely used except for the exclusives.
I still cannot believe how badly MS screwed up the Xbox One. Before the reveal it was a sure bet that I would be buying one. No doubts. No questions. The 360 was awesome, the One would be too. Welp, I have never felt so deflated as I was after watching that reveal. Pissed off too. I mean, I was super pissed off that that was what MS came out with. That they actually believed that thing, that horrible horrible thing was what their customers wanted. It was a miserable betrayal.
So now I have a PS4 and I really like it so far. It's a good, capable machine that does what a console should do. In my heart though, I want the old MS back. The MS that made awesome games and awesome gaming machines.

The bigger news at this point would be MS persuading Sega to make Yakuza multi-platform and them helping to localise it in the US/EU/UK...
Shenmue's time has passed, but that doesn't mean I wouldn't jump if they announce a third entry with HD remasters of 1 & 2 available digitally....
Theory? The developers said so themselves.

I agree, although the length of the conference will probably be the main limiting factor. He already said previously that they'll be spreading their announcements out over the big conferences, so I expect some reveals left for Gamescom, TGS, and possibly some other events.
They have to justify its existence somehow, since they forced it on over 4 million people so far.

Sorry but blaming only Mattrick is really unfair. He followed company policy on taking over the living room. It has been MS policy since the inception of Xbox. Spencer would have done the same thing. He has to follow his own company guidelines.
They said that Titanfall would have bombed if it wasn't for an exclusive deal?

I like Spencer's image, but he's never been any different than he was as Head of MS Studios. Even back then, he's always been super chatty, portrays a heavy game-focused image, and tweets a lot of things that are highly positive, and games-focused.
The difference is well, we easily attribute all blame to Mattrick, and then elevate Spencer's image now.
I hope so. Last year's Gamescom and TGS were pretty disappointing from MS's side.

Well if time is factor they shouldnt do stupid stuff then. I believe in phil already but just in case, no cars on stage, no dancing, no kinect fluff, no 360, and mainly NO TV.
you are missing the point completely. amazing.
I can see them doing reasonably well, as far as a GAF-pleaser conference goes. Project Nagano, Crack 3, H2A, Quantum Breaker, Gears TNG tease(?) Halo 5, Horizon 2, new IP and whatever multis get unveiled or have trailers shown exclusively that year (Phanton Pain's trailer was absolutely the best thing they did last year)
Honestly I can't see them having a "bad" or even "average" show at this point.

Their messaging has been pretty good and on point since Spencer took the helm. Got a feeling they are going to back it up at this rate.
E3 hype - GO!

Seems like my prediction of FF XV appearing at MS conference and not Sony's is closer to reality now. It really makes sense if you think about it, they want to show some Japanese games for people that are interested in them. Metal Gear already appeared last year so next big Japanese game to show is FFXV.
This post is simply amazing.
i just hope they show a bunch of new IP. this generation fucking sucks so far, 95% of it is ports of old indie games and sequels to mediocre or tired franchises from last gen. sonys line up is crap right now and Microsoft has an opportunity to impress. those billions of dollars they claim to be putting towards new IP better show its worth this E3. if they pull the same halo, fable, gears, forza cards out it will be an extremely boring showing.

Every company employee hypes their own product more than it deserves.
Pretty much why it's best to keep expectations tempered. If it weren't for the trademark reveals and Project Beast leak, Sony's E3 hype would had been average at best.
Go buy 'The Final Hours of Titanfall' and see for yourself.
Respawn spoke to Sony - they decided to pass on the game but they wanted them to make a Vita game. They passed.
EA stopped giving them money for development and the game was about to be cancelled (mostly due to a few reboots, tech changes, and internal issues). Microsoft stepped in and funded the rest of Titanfall's development in exchange for 13-month exclusivity which eventually extended to the game's life.

They do lots of work with developers they don't own (see Epic Games for Gears, Insomniac, Crytek, Remedy, Playground, Undead Labs), theres plenty of games they can get.

That's nonsense...Mattrick was the driving force behind Xbox turning into a multi media set top box, it was his vision he sold to the MS board, that's why he got the job, no doubt ptiching how MS will double,treble revenues..etc,etc.
The people who sit on the board, for the most part, wouldn't have had a clue about the console games business, and would have been guided by those running the Xbox division.
This miserable gimped excuse for a console is Mattricks fault..end of story.

Will MS be stronger than last year? I think so....They screwed up last year, I think MS will put a great conference togheter.
Im more afraid that Sony will fck up after a great year. How can the top next year, I think a lot of us will be dissapointed in Sony's conference cause last years was amazing.
