I'm really excited for the next Halo and the recently announced Fable 4. Wonder if we'll see more of them at their show?

Looking forward to this.

hope they make an industry shaking statement
from a software standpoint
now that there's no hardware left reveal.

Every year is "the biggest showing ever" for them.

watch out they're going to have the greatest lineup of games in Xbox history LOL

and i will be there in person :)

definitely Microsofts time to shine, now they got xbox x hardware there should be some really stunning games to show.

They're gonna shut down the city with this

So they got a bigger venue just to announce Halo, Gears, and Forza? ...

Yea well I'll believe it when i see it.

They say the same shit ever fucking year but yet have never backed it up. If so, where's all the xbone games ?? Fuck how long have micro been showing off crackdown ??

Well lets wait and see how it plays out. MS had a good E3 last year and the year before but with no release dates on alot of games they showed, im not hyped for new ones showed this year. Bring out what you showed or at least show release dates then show new ones off.

Cancel Later

I sure hope so because Microsoft E3 2017 was horrible.

Well they have had 4 years

Glad XBOX are at least giving some semblance of hope to its battered, broken and distraught tenacious fans. Now, do I think Microsoft will deliver? Absolutely not. Any games new and big enough to be game-changers this far into the eighth generation cycle is going to be another year or two to finish development. By that time the PlayStation 5 will either be dropping in a few more months or will have just dropped.

Best thing Microsoft could do at this E3 is start building hope for its ninth generation plans.

EDIT: Downvote me if it makes the sting less painful,—but you know deep down I've hit the nail on the head.

I sure hope they have a huge show.

Makes sense, more people can watch live in the Arena plus more showroom and lower costs for them.
Will they have more games? 100% Ms has less and less third Party Deals yet the floor room is getting bigger. Last year at gamescom it felt like Sony had 65% third Party on their booth.
Ms will probably show cyberpunk, Metro and a few others though. Its just crazy that we know nothing beyond the first half of 2018 in Terms of games. They will show a lot.
In the end we have to wait and see.

I'm not a XB person but I'm always curious to see what they're bringing so I'll be watching as I will be watching Nintendo's & all the other game developers showcasing what they're working on & soon releasing at this years E3. Not for nothing but hopefully MS/XBO bring it at this years E3 with AAA interesting compelling exclusives so the XBO-X will make those games shine knowing last years E3 was lackluster.If I saw at least 5 mind blowing never heard of XBO exclusives that I said to myself.."OMG I've got to play that!!" I will buy an X.

Not sure what Devs they could have to show fresh stuff we haven't already seen, can't see them having much given the status of their studios.

Maybe Rare's second project is ready to show, I suspect Crackdown will get a big showing, Ori WoTW, possibly a teaser for Halo 6.
FH4 is pretty much a given.
Unless MS had incubated teams from 343 to develop a new IP, Turn 10, etc, they had new studios working in secret since a few years ago I don't see much in the way of some megaton stuff, maybe smaller, interesting titles.

I'll be building a new PC soon, so I can play whatever interests me there, may get a 1S or X if I see a generous deal in the Autumn for stuff I've missed that isn't on PC, but it seems pretty pointless given how few games that is.
Spare money will be mainly going to the rig, my PS4 and Switch.

I'd love Microsoft to have a great show, packed with fresh new IPs, revealed with gameplay, along with some stuff that pulls me in, but it hasn't happened yet this gen and there isn't much of it left.

I just want what Sony and Nintendo are bringing to their systems too much.
There's not enough spare time to play everything I want to on the systems I have, let alone money to do everything I'd like.

Gotta pick what interests me the most.

Microsoft has to finally bring the games that the Xbox fans (key words) want to see! No more titles like Lucky and ReCore (solid games but not what we want to see), but what the fans want.

Conker
Kameo
Perfect Dark
Mech Assault
Crimson Skies
Battletoads
Splinter Cell
Banjo
Fable
Halo
Ninja Gaiden
Fusion Frenzy
Otogi

It's time to bring these back...AAA style. It's these franchise (among others) that would energize the base. It's time to show the games we only fantasize about getting, but haven't been getting.

I like how when someone looks at this title and calls bs based on ms's actions over the past 3-4 e3's they are called being negative or trolling. Ms know without a reason of doubt they have a problem hopefully this is the e3 they get it right.

I’m hoping for a Mechassault 3 reveal!!

Well let's wait and see, Sony and Nintendo will be steam rollering as well. If Nintendo show Metroid 4 they will practically win the show. So god knows what Sony have:)

Isn't that what they say every year.

they said that last year.

they need more room to show off all the new old games you can run on the One X. the backwards compatibility BOX.

MINECRAFT 2!!!!

They say the same every year and every year we are disappointed. Atleast on a positive it won't take much to make it a great E3.

they say that every year...... just show up and wow people for once.

And still they will wind up 3rd in 2018 and beyond. Lol!

LITERALLY yesterday in the comment section for a story about 'Sea of thieves negates the PS4 exclusives dominance' someone commented about how he always see these ridiculous hyperbolic articles when MS launch stuff then went on to joke about he expects to sooner or later see articles about MS' E3 and how they're gonna be bringing the heat and how it's gonna be the biggest and baddest one ever... LITERALLY 24 HOURS LATER HERE WE ARE!!!!!!!!!! looooooooool... the man called it like confucius loooool

Lol they are like the empty droning of our bought and sold politicians

“ and we’re gonna fix the schools and create more jobs and take care of the middle class and...”

And people line up to be spoon fed that sh!7

I wish they would shut up with this type of PR. It makes them look worse when what they show is mediocre. Best lineup in history a few years back was the PR they gave , but looking back not as one of those games is a must have

Same was said for last year nothing happened. Exclusive console only game releases since last E3 haven't been good. What's going to be different now?

Well as their show last year wasn't anything too great honestly, really I hope they step it up. Hopefully Crack down 3 gets released like the first day of the show or something and actually uses "the cloud" to some degree.

So this bring exotic car like Mclaren or so and bring one of these popular actors to annouce indie games + COD lllllllllll trailer.

More Indies than ever!

Heard this all before .... moving along to next article

New KOTOR maybe?

Here we go again. Biggest, best, most amazing, super duper, awesome, mind blowing show....in the future. Don't look at empty release schedule....look at the hype train we are riding.

Ja that's what they says every year

They went from TV, TV, TV; then Cloud, cloud, cloud power; then Holo lens; then power, power, power; then LLLLLLLLLaunch exclusive. Wonder what's this year?

It is extremely telling that the same people who said that the "leaked" floor plans a couple of months ago meant ms had nothing to show, are now saying this means nothing.

Hopefully first party stuff and not simply making multiplatform games suddenly exclusives. ALAN WAKE 2 PLEASE MICROSOFT

They keep saying stuff like this but never deliver..

I am only concerned with there not being enough in the "immediate" pipeline regarding actual IP's to truly satiate the masses.....

Hahhaha

Its amazing how somthing so simple as this post, gets sooo many upset fanboys commenting.

The older I get or wiser lol I like to refer to new games as, new experiences. I feel The term game is simple , old school term. Today it's about deep game play, complex stories and interactions. Aka new experiences in form of a video game persu.

Hoping for a good E3 for everyone.

The last time MS 'wowed me' at E3 Inended up buying an XB1, it then transpired that they were, for the most part, full of shit with everything except Ori proving to be mediocre, cancelled or lies.

I am still waiting for the power of my XB1 to be quadrupled by cloud implementation, still no Hololense and all the games they touted came to the PC which I already owned at the time.

My point is, you cannot trust MS no matter how exciting there show might appear, I fell for it last time, I will wait to see proof next time around.

Not falling for E3 hype this year. Last year's was absolute crap, doesn't matter which console you like.

I’m looking forward to it. Also heard Jurassic Park Evolution is coming out that week *rings hands together*

Guess i'll plan to spend most of a single day at the microsoft building & check it all out instead of going back & forth between it & lacc ..

Will Usher be there?

We've heard this how many times now?

My guess would be:
- Another Minecraft shit.
- New Forza
- Xbox one X commercial
- New Elite Controller
- Xbox Game Pass
- Mr. white gloves Larry Hryb
- Some indie shit that no one cares
- Crackdown 3 (if it is not there, i'm pretty sure it's gonna be cancelled)
- PUBG desert map
- Some "exclusive" trailers, but it's actually multiplatform or timed.
- And maybe, 1 or 2 new real exclusive trailers.

That's what they say every year

Tell me again how the multiplatform strategy was supposed to fix everything. Look at your results and compare them to Nintendo, which keeps thriving with exclusives. Your loyal fans are gone. And let’s not forget the pile of IPs you purchased only to let them rot.

The worst thing is this is down from last years numbers/expectations which was down from the previous years numbers/expectations. You think about how long “down” has been a consistent part of the communication and you realize those subscriptions are what’s holding that boat together. The price cut of gamespass is still a price raise in a string of price raises. They are trying to use players to offset the missing revenue. Now call of duty is out of gamespass, which is literally WHY they bought the company. To draw people to the subscription. They realized they missed a boatload of money and that wasn’t sustainable. Now you pay for it like you would have if they never bought the company… so why buy the company? Mind you those billions still need to be paid back. Yeah it gives you a chance to say we make the biggest FPS… but the internal conversations must be brutal at high level on topics that really matter. Like revenue. Profitability. And ROI for the shopping spree.

Is this like the 10th quarter in a row they're down 33% on hardware how is that even mathematically possible. You would think their mediocrity would Plateau
