“Microsoft needs to ignore mentioning Gears Of War at E3. 1) It’s a horrible series that doesn’t need to live on.”

I do not agree one bit with that part of the article. I enjoyed gears 1 to 3. Judgement was the blacksheep of the family but in new hands and with better direction i think the series can be even greater than it was in the past.

Oh yeah that's right MS is apparently showing off two new studios.

I hope they are 2 AAA core game studios.

E3 Team Xbox.

Lol, Halo means they have already won E3, case closed.

No franchise has better selling power, and a better fanbase than halo. Even if they showed 15 minutes of Halo, and nothing else, that is all anyone would talk about.

You can sweep all those other games under the rug - Uncharted, Mass Effect, GoW, God of War, Fallout, Last of Us, The Order, Deep Down - this June is about one game, and one game only.

@angelice

i can't wait..totally forgot about that.

TrollingKoala4286d ago

@alexkoepp you really just make Xbox gamers like myself look bad, Halo by itself will not win E3 this year what Microsoft needs at E3 is a showing of strong games like halo 5 and show a few other exclusives (crackdown 3?,Sunset Overdrive,Fable Legends, Quantum Break and others) while also proving that they can not make any of the mistakes they made last year and that will make it a good if not great E3 and dude sweep Fallout and Mass Effect under the rug? you are crazy.

Microsoft wins E# if they deliver on the hype they are building for it.

Godmars2904286d ago (Edited 4286d ago )

When has anyone delivered on the hype they've built to towards a given event or title? even GTA5 failed on some points.

Nvermind that Sony and even Nintendo aren't just going to be sitting on their hands.

asmith23064286d ago

But what hype are they building exactly? I fully expect a new Halo, Gears, or Forza, etc; basically what they do every E3 with one of their franchises, nothing new. The rest of the hype is all the reversals they have been doing and tech talk about cloud power, DX, etc. They need to actually show something (dare I say it) real, that will work on your X1 the day they announce it.

They also need a mega third party exclusive. MS studios just aren't up to making AAA games that will have our jaws dropping. With PS4s lead I can't see any publisher wanting to sign up to that though unless it is for a savage amount of money, or a timed exclusive; but again that would be nothing new for MS. The "Why We Shafted Kinect" segment should be fun too :)

I expect E3 to go how it usually goes. MS with a lot of hype, PR bull, and Sony with a simple yet effective conference without all the crap.

needs some Wonder Woman :P

I would prefer a "Starfield" one.

DefenderOfDoom214h ago(Edited 14h ago)

These are the same Bethesda tables from FX3 now upgraded for VR . I bought this Bethesda pack for Pinball FX3 around 5 years ago. But when the new Pinball FX came out a few years ago , they wanted me to buy the same tables again, which is ridiculous .

Analysts on Ubisoft cost-cutting and the myth of 'sustainable growth'

They should just make games. That sounds crazy, I know, but, hear me out.

No need for dev-times to.take 3+ years. Just stick to formula. Not every game needs to be bigger & better than everything else. Not every game needs to be GaaS. Not every game needs to completely re-invent the wheel.

They KNOW how to make a cool Splinter Cell game; Interesting story, 8-10 levels, just go and make it. Give the people want they know, want and love. It doesn't need to be a shared online experience. It doesn't need to be an epic big open world. It doesn't need celebrity voice-acting. Just make a cool new SC game, and the fans will be happy and pick it up. Easy. Done. Next one.

Same for Prince of Persia, Watch-Dogs, Assassin's Creed, Trials, Rayman, Brothers in Arms, etc.

Notsofast1d 20h ago (Edited 1d 20h ago )

might as well mention DOA7 also

Smellsforfree1d 12h ago

Was there any new content in that trailer? I didn't see anything new... maybe a few new costumes. I was hoping for at least a tag team mode.
