So I found this post on reddit earlier today...
Which led to this Thurrott article.
Using the pc version in this context makes sense as the xbox 4 isnt finalized yet, this coudl be the first and closest we get to seeing what a next gen AAA title could look like.
So the main take-away so far are:
-halo infinite will be shown off on pc with an xbox controller to suggest next-gen potential.
-of the 14 studios at e3, atleast three will be new IP.
-xbox 4 will be discussed in lite details. Supposedly no direct specs however.
(I apologize if thsi has already been discussed, i searched and found nothing.)
Which led to this Thurrott article.
For the past few weeks, forums, Twitter, Reddit, and nearly every other gaming community has been filled with ‘leaks’. While I think most of them are simply logical guesses, after talking to many people in the industry and insiders at Microsoft, here are my expectations for Microsoft’s E3 event.
On the hardware side, I expect Microsoft to start to peel back the layers on the secrecy around their next generation consoles, Anaconda and Lockhart. For those who are hoping to see a list of raw specs, I don’t think that’s on the agenda quite yet. Instead, look for the company to provide performance multipliers for the hardware; I have heard that Lockhart and Anaconda are targeting at least a 4x performance gain for the high-end (Anaconda) and 2x for the lower end hardware(Lockhart).
On the games side, Microsoft will be showing off 14 titles from their own game studios, according to Phil Spencer. Of that, I expect titles like Gears of War 5 (codenamed Halifax) will have a strong presence, and we will also see items like new DLC for State of Decay 2, Forza Horizon 4 Expansion 2, Halo Infinite trailer and gameplay, Age of Empires info, Fable details may be tossed in as well; it looks like there will be at least 3 new IPs that we haven’t seen previously.
Microsoft’s Aimes to Set the Bar High at E3
For Halo Infinite, this will be the first real showing of the next generation game. Microsoft will be running the demos from a PC with an Xbox controller as they don’t want the first impression of the new game to be running on the now dated Xbox One hardware.
