Xbox E3 2019 predictions

A reader makes some educated guesses – and a few unlikely wishes – about what Microsoft is likely to unveil at E3 next month.

AngelicIceDiamond2555d ago

Hate to say it but Im not expecting much. First party just isn't ready yet its only been a year since the acquisitions. So I don't wanna hear after their E3 "Wheres the first party" save the ignorance. Halo and Gears release dates. Battletoads and Ori gameplay. Third party announcements and maybe even a third party excluisive. Like I said Im not expecting a whole lot. MS seems to have a better shot at next gen console Im afraid.

battlegrog2554d ago

I disagree, Xbox has to do as much as possible at E3 as its a do or die. Expect to see reveals of several new games from several new studios they bought. You will see details revealed for its next xbox, You will see the full on visual details of xcloud. That is a lot

Rude-ro2554d ago

Sorry.. gears, forza related, some indies with AAA prices ...
But most of it will be next year and beyond games.

denawayne2554d ago

Do or die? Yeah, no. Xbox isn't going anywhere no matter the outcome of E3

aconnellan2554d ago

Lol just because you say that they should do it doesn’t mean it’ll happen.

Do you know how long games take to make? There’s no way any of those studios have anything ready to show, and that’s ok. Why should they be expected to, just 12 months after being acquired?

And it’s not ‘do or die’. Xbox will be fine, like it always is

SyntheticForm2554d ago

I wish it were a do-or-die so Microsoft would get some motivation to compete with Sony, but it isn't, and they don't have to compete with Sony, and Xbox isn't going anywhere.

Well, they already confirmed we will see what Ninja Theory is working on. I have a feeling we will see Playground Games new game they have been teasing for the last couple years. But yeah unless Obsidian and InXile have had side teams working on another IP alongside their current 3rd party ones then I don't see anything from them. I think it's too early for Undead Labs to announce a new State of Decay, same with Compulsion, but maybe these two will announce new expansions or DLC for SoD2 and We Happy Few much like Rare will still be talking about upcoming Sea of Thieves content. The Initiative MIGHT have a teaser ready, but it still seems like they're busy building their team and may not have something solid to show. Phil did say he wants to not announce games too early anymore, but we will see.

But I think the main 2 big surprises with be Ninja Theories new IP and Playground Games either new IP or a big revival of Fable with a reboot. The rest will be Halo Infinite, Gears 5, Ori, battletoads, indies, and then 3rd party stuff showing off the power of the X, and then a tease spec reveal of the new consoles.

AngelicIceDiamond2554d ago

I was gonna say Phil doesn't want to show off things too early anymore. Not only that but CG trailers have been under scrtunity in the past several years especially 2017's "Anthem reveal trailer" If the teams arent ready then they should avoid mock up trailers that would do MS allot of harm. Ninja Theory and Playground Games has a good chance of showing something or at least the names of their games.

thexmanone2554d ago (Edited 2554d ago )

Those new studios where making games before they were bought out by MS. What makes you think they will have no new games ready to show?

gangsta_red2555d ago

Love these prediction articles, lets you know E3 is close!

AngelicIceDiamond2555d ago (Edited 2555d ago )

After doing some quick research it looks like NT is doing multiple projects. One of them code named "bleeding Edge" said to be announced this year. This is a rumor but I sure hope its true.

gangsta_red2555d ago

Yeah, NT and Playground I suspect will be the only acquisitions to have some type of game teaser to show off since they have been rumored to be working on something for several years now.

I definitely don't expect Inxile, Initiative or Obsidian to have anything new yet....but it would be cool to see Obsidian maybe tease a new Pillars of Eternity game for Xbox.

Also, there's been rumors that Rare had another team working on a separate game.

Going to be an exciting e3

Sciurus_vulgaris2554d ago

Lol, don’t think MS will have sumo digital develop anything for them ever again.

King_Noctis2554d ago (Edited 2554d ago )

I think MS is just glad they got CD3 out and end whatever development relationship with Sumo Digital.

Vasto2554d ago (Edited 2554d ago )

Next gen Xbox preview, Project X Cloud reveal, New IPs from Rare, Playground and Ninja Theory, New Xbox Game Studios, Gears 5, Halo Infinite, Ori And The Will Of Wisp, Battletoads, Tunic, Age Of Empires 4, Gears Tactics, Sessions and The Last Night.

Xbox gamers still have so much to look forward to in 2019!

gangsta_red2554d ago

I wouldn't count on The Last Night, I thought I read somewhere that it was in development trouble and even the original trailer was just a concept.

Vasto2554d ago (Edited 2554d ago )

I remember reading that but The Last Night is still in development and has not been cancelled and is still in development.

From March 2019

https://twitter.com/timsore...

If you read about 4 replies down you will see where a poster ask " Is this still happening " and he replies " Of course it is "

The original trailer shown at E3 was not concept. They were going to do a new trailer at GamesCon 2018 but it was canceled.

Vasto2554d ago

Yea, I am hoping we get that new trailer at E3 but I am not expected a release this year. Maybe 2020.

LOL, those downvotes.

vega2752554d ago

Forza 8 is launching on the next gen xbox.

PrinceOfAnger2554d ago

@vega
I mean we may see the game at E3.

battlegrog2554d ago

a lot will be revealed but its to lay its gameplan down for next gen ! they need to turn it around and wont happen for this gen of course.

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

dveio12d ago

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Jingsing12d ago

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Tanktopmaster9212d ago

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit12d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing12d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9212d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
