"I believe Microsoft and Phil Spencer need to show a slew of Xbox & Windows exclusives during its E3 Showcase to futureproof the Xbox brand. I also think we need to see at least one heavy-hitting new IP that pushes the Xbox One X hardware to its fullest capability. Lastly, I'd love to see a return of IP like Perfect Dark and Alan Wake.
In today's video, I go over my 'dream' Microsoft E3 2018 conference." -- Xbox Enthusiast
We review the AYN Thor, sharing how it handles emulation, PC games, and Wii support, and why it’s become our go-to handheld.
The PlayStation Store "Dealmania" sale is live, bringing with it over 4,00 items.

Sounds like new Gears, Forza, and Sunset 2. Forza is a yearly release, we knew it was coming. Most expected a new Gears, but a Sunset Overdrive 2 would be nice. It remains to be seen if it'll be exclusive, but in my opinion that isn't even close to enough for MS. People want new IPs, new AAA games. Where is Xbox's Horizon this gen? Ghost of Tsushima? Days Gone? Dreams? People want new first party IPs. Even Bloodborne was a first/3rd party collaboration.
MS needs to bloster their first party infrastructure, they really don't have enough studios to experiment on huge new IPs. They are too concerned with churning out Halo, Gears, Forza to let those studios build something new. If a new IP does come it'll be 3rd party. It's a shame how they manage their studios, all that money yet they are so afraid to spend it.
Announce 1vs100 for Xbox One and they will win E3
Present a potential new flagship series
We all know that there's no catching Sony from wherever Microsoft is sitting this Gen. And the fact that I like Sony's strategy of "gamer first" for their platform that not only includes single player games, but makes it mandatory as an option for gamers to play. Because not everyone plays online. But, let's dream. Let's dream for Microsoft...
*Forza Horizon World-race on tracks from around the world from UK, Japan, France, Germany, etc from cities to the countryside in some of the newest rides.
*Fable 2 remake/remaster
*Alan Wake remake/remaster
*Crimson Skies remake/remaster or sequel
*Blue Dragon or Lost Odyssey remake/remaster
*Various 3rd party game releases.
*Windows MR compatible with Xbox one x that plays all MR games on the windows store. Also plays the top *selected games* from Steam and Oculus stores. Like top 50 or something. Not jumping in like kinect, but just allowing those who have Xbox one the option for vr. Because they're going to keep selling MR headsets on pc anyway. Why not sell more headsets.
Dreaming and high as a kite predictions...
*New IP- Xbox battle royal game consisting of characters from halo, gears, perfect dark, battle toads,etc where you battle it out,mix and match weapons, abilities until the last man is standing. With funny moves like the battle toads kick.
*Gets with Epic and finally announces The Samaritan or The Infiltrator game.(how come these aren't games?)
Megaton-super-deluxe-bigly-al pha-turbo-announcement
*Merger with EA that will allow EA to make games for Xbox as their leading 1st party developer, PC and mobile(not like they're making games for switch anyway), with long term strategy to own next Gen over Sony.
Likely hood of this happening? Anything is possible. But with PS4, I don't have to dream. I'm wide awake waiting for Spiderman,TLofU2 and Ghost.
Introduce a entire brand new team running the XBO division including some never heard of compelling/interesting AAA exclusives.
