Pretty disappointed they won't be at e3

I read crackdowns being saved for gamescom also. MS must have some big surprises if they're moving 3 of the biggest games out of e3

christocolus3989d ago (Edited 3989d ago )

Quantum Break too. I was also disappointed but then i realized these 3 ips are MS's AAA titles and Fans have been looking forward to them so moving them entirely from E3 means they've got some sort of replacement in place.You don't take out your most anticipated titles if you don't have something even better to announce and their focus on 1st party exclusives at E3 means they've got stuff to announce.

Also,moving their major upcoming AAA titles to Gamescom also kind of makes E3 a lot more interesting now cos besides Halo5, Tomb Raider,Gears &Forza 6 we have no idea what will be shown at MS conference. i reckon rares new game will be unveiled at Gamescom too.

We will know in a few days though.

Gazondaily3988d ago

Wtf? No Scalebound at E3? Wow. They must have a lot of content to show.

My days, if they pad out their show with another 10 minute segment of Call of Duty gameplay I will be livid!

StrayaKNT3989d ago

I'm so dirty it won't be at e3 its one of my most anticipated games

lelo2play3989d ago (Edited 3989d ago )

Microsoft keeping games like Scalebound, Quantum Break, among others, for Gamescom, they better have a one hell of a show for E3... otherwise they are going to get bashed.

I would like a sequel to Lost Odyssey. Make it happen Microsoft! ... please.

Fin_The_Human3988d ago

Lost odessy 2 would make run to the neasrt best buy and buy an Xbox 1.

This games was an unexpected gen for me and enjoyed way more that current final fantasy games.

If it does happen I hope MS contracts MistWalker becuae those guys are the heart and soul of that game.

marlinfan103988d ago

I'm sure theyve got some surprises. They wouldn't move them out of e3 for no reason.

guyman3989d ago

This just tells me the game was announced far too early. Disappointed, but i'll wait for gamescom

Mikefizzled3988d ago

I maintain that the final segment of Microsoft's E3 2014 conference was announce it for the sake of positive momentum. Crackdoon, Scalebound and Phantom Dust were all announced with CG trailers and we haven't seen anything, excluding the leaked build of Phantom Dust, since they were announced.

hello123988d ago (Edited 3988d ago )

I disagree i think its a strategic move.

Sony has confirmed they will not have a Gamescom conference this year that means Microsoft will have all the gaming headlines around August time. With Halo 5 coming around October momentum for the xbox one brand in Europe and elsewhere is more likely.

Microsoft probably looked at it people know those games are coming why not just keep them for Gamescom it only 7 weeks later.

Microsoft conference likely will be about their 2015 games holiday line up and whats coming in the future. I think new games are likely.

Mikefizzled3988d ago

Whilst my heart is disappointed that they picked my 3 most anticipated games to push into Gamescom it does make sense. Without Sony announcing anything its open season for positive Microsoft press.

Fin_The_Human3988d ago

I seriously think Halo 5 will surpass Halo 3 in every aspect including sales.

Fin_The_Human3988d ago

Guyman i guess u are a glass half empty person.

This good news for reasons people explained above also games con is proven to be a show where more gameplay is shown while e3 is noramlly about cg trailers.

SaveFerris3988d ago

Probably a combination of the games not being ready to show off and not wanting to show everything at once.

jay23988d ago

Ms have serously fed up all halo 5. Cod. Gow remaster etc and the decent games this. Qb. Crackdown etc at ganescom ummmmm

Hideki Kamiya wants to revive Scalebound: 'Let's do it, Phil'

Hideki Kamiya is still interested in developing Scalebound, after the PlatinumGames and Microsoft action game was cancelled back in 2017.

ZwVw435d ago

He's been begging for the past three years. That ship has long sailed. Besides, Phil's a fake. When's the last time he delivered on a game the fans asked for? Still waiting on him to greenlight KI4.

InUrFoxHole434d ago

@8bit
Yeah I mentioned that below. Although in comparison concord was a bigger failure.

MetroidFREAK21435d ago

I mean I'm all for it... I'd buy it for PS5 since Xbox is doing these multiplatform releases now

MetroidFREAK21435d ago

Well, I vastly prefer physical versions of games, and I can't do that with my Series S... sooooooo assume what you will

Lexreborn2435d ago

Scalebound was my reasoning for buying and Xbox one. Legit my biggest let down last gen

raWfodog435d ago

Same here. That was going to be the game I'd buy a Xbox One for back in the day. It'd be good if they did revive it and improve on what they had at the time.

Chocoburger435d ago

Seems odd to be asking for it now that he left Platinum Games. He'll be busy with Okami 2 for a number of years, does he expect to develop the game at Clovers studio now? Would they be picking up where they left off, or starting over again? Any of the previous team members, or just him?

I doubt Phil would fund it again, but if so, then that would be good news, also fund a new Banjo as well as Conker games while you're at it. I miss Conker!

Michiel1989435d ago

doesn't seem odd at all, he'd want work and that game even though it suffered some bad press with the cancellation and stuff is still something that people want to see (i think)

Cancelled Games That Still Upsetti My Spaghetti

As a wise man once said: what be will, be will, and sometimes games just get canceled, whether it’s due to publisher meddling, a lack of funds or the creative vision simply not panning out.

Eight Days for me

Really would have enjoyed a buddy cop game with a Lethal Weapon like tone.

helicoptergirl485d ago

The only one that really bothered me was when Sony wouldn't fund Days Gone 2. That announcement made me literally feel nauseous. I felt sick in the guts. That's the first time Sony had done something that actually physically hurt me lol. I'm still bummed that there won't be a Days Gone 2.

lucasnooker435d ago

I would have loved the getaway 3! The original is still one of my favourite PS2 titles

Canceled Video Games That Still Hurt The Most

The cancellation of Rainbow Six Patriots, Alice Asylum, and Scalebound, among others, have hit players and fans like a truck over time.

Chocoburger661d ago

Advent Rising was planned to be a trilogy, and we never got parts 2 and 3.

Also wish THPS 10 was never canceled back in 2008. They were releasing the games at too fast a pace and just needed to slow it down instead of abandon the series entirely to make endless Guitar Hero games.

Stupid Activision executives.

RaidenBlack659d ago

My biggest "disappointment" for me, will always be Kojima's original MGS Rising from E3 2010.
The reveal trailer will always top my Gaming Expo highlights list, followed by MGS5 Ground Zeroes reveal at PAX 2013 and God of War reveal at E3 2016.
It looked soo good and cool. My heart sank when the whole Platinum's Revengeance thing got announced.
My 2nd disappointment is another Kojima, the Silent Hills.
3rd is tie b/w Rainbow 6: Patriots and the original Ghost Recon Future Soldier 2010 version.
4th is Unreal Tournament 4/2014
5th is Half Life Return to Ravenholm
(Dis)Honorable mentions: Delta Force Angel Falls, Brothers in Arms: Furious 4, Fallout Van Buren, Capcom's Deep Down, Original Duke Nukem Forever 2001 version, Prey 2, Command & Conquer: Generals 2, Timesplitters 4, Alice: Asylum, Mercenaries 3, KOTOR3, Star Wars 1313, StarCraft: Ghost, Legacy of Kain: Dead Sun, Whore of the Orient, Fable Legends, Star Wars Project Ragtag and maybe Agent?
Half Life 2 Episode 3 should top my list, but I still believe it'll happen. You know what might break the gaming internet and steal some of GTA 6's thunder? If Valve just posts '3' in any of their social account.

Chocoburger659d ago

I love Rising Revengeance, but I would have loved to see MGS: Rising, where we got to see Raiden's body destroyed at Area 51, and play some portions of MGS 4 from Raiden's perspective.

Good pick.

rlow1659d ago

Did you see play Advent Rising? If so, what did you think of it?

Chocoburger659d ago

Yes I played it long ago. Its kind of like Mass Effect, years before Mass Effect. You have to make choices which permanently affects the story.

Near the end of the game you have a bunch of super power abilities, I remember a shockwave stomp attack which wrecked enemies.

It was rushed out unpolished, so it had a lot of framerate issues, but I did end up having fun with it. Been over 15 years since I played it, so my memory is fuzzy, but I do remember I was looking forward to a sequel which never came.

XiNatsuDragnel660d ago

We need scalebound, Alice asylum, rainbow 6 patriots, battlefront 3, and half life episode 3 plz 🙏 if not official devs, fans make those games a reality do what cd project red dev said I have to look up the article but if something can't happen themselves then it's up to the fans to make it ourselves.

Relientk77659d ago

I played Alice: Madness Returns a couple years ago and it blew me away. What an amazing game and it still holds up. When EA said no to Alice Asylum I was so mad. EA also said something like "Alice is an important IP to us" Yeah, right an important IP that you do nothing with. License it out so we can get that 3rd game from American McGee.

INMATEofARKHAM659d ago

Interesting and pretty solid list but I would day it's Star Wars 1313 that hurts the most in terms of Star War games.

DaReapa659d ago

Honorable mentions go to Eight Days, Agent, and Whore of the Orient to name a few.

Deeeeznuuuts659d ago

All of them! But none more than Agent for me, how good a rockstar espionage game could have been! 😭
The getaway too!
