Last week,we askedyou delicious Dtoiders to predict what you think will happen at each of the major press conferences going into E3. Here are your predictions forMicrosoft’s big show!
Hdawger:
I think it’ll be pretty good, definitely at least on par with last years. They kind of blew their load a little too early with all these huge announcements and turnarounds the past few weeks.
Side note: I will once again bring up the fact that most people in this comments section […] are confusing last year’s E3 with the reveal conference. [Good point! -Andy]
Kusabi:
I am honestly very excited to see newHaloand I hope to god there is newGearsnews. [Me too! -Andy]
Sniper BoB 13:
I’m hoping for a little less reliance on theHaloIP (and I say this as aHUGE fan of theHaloseries) and some new information aboutSunsetOverdrive. Also interested in any possible new IPs they may ofobtained. I feel they’ve probably learned their lesson and it’s lookinglike Stephen Elop is trying to make a good impression on his newaudience. (No longer requiring Xbox Live Gold for Netflix).
Ninezero:
Halo Halo Halo Halo Halo HaloHalopartnership with Pepsi and Cheetos.GOW GOW GOW GOW GOWCoDexclusive content.Doritos.Pizza Hut and Papa John’s app.
THE END. [There were a lot of answers similar to this, BTW. -Andy]
Barry Csonka:
I predict dozens of games about a generic soldier shooting his way through mindless armies, while following a big arrow saying GO HERE IDIOT, viewed from a first person perspective.
KyninBinel:
Star Wars Battlefrontexclusive content.Sunset Overdrive, ride the hype train to the station.Halo.Partnership with the History Channel.CoDexclusive content.Fable.Lost Odyssey 2.Announce exclusive rights toFFXXin 2025
tylerstravis:
I think they will announce the Xbox 4. It’ll be exactly the same as the Xbox One, but will now more closely resemble the PS4.
fire lion:
No PC games from the biggest PC software maker, that’s for sure.
There will be next genGearsannoncement. [Nuff sayd! -Andy]
GoofierBrute:
I think Microsoft has learned its lesson that an event like E3 is not the place to talk about SPORTS (unless it’s a sports game) and TV shows. It’s smart that they got the announcements like removing Kinect and changes to Games for Gold before E3 so that they can focus on the games, though right now there really isn’t anything that we know about right now that excites me personally. However, we didn’t know thatKiller Instinctwas a thing prior to E3, so maybe they’ll surprise us like that this year.
Guy Gamer:
Phil Spencer promises Xbox Live Arcade Backwards compatibility. I think Phil knows what we really want. And getting back a huge backlog of arcade games would be a huge selling point to invest in a Xbone. [Oh man that’d be awesome. -Andy]
shouryuuken:
Microsoft teams up with Sega to get some exclusive sequels to Genesis era classics. Open worldStreets of Ragein the vein ofSleeping Dogsminus guns and more arcadey, less racing gamey.Shinobireturns in an open world platformer/third person shooter with a bit of aninFamousvibe to it. Lastly,Golden Axewill reappear in a 3D hack and slash with light RPG elements. The game will controversially include a portal to import action figures into the game. Each copy comes with either Gilius, Ax Battler or Tyris Flare.
ctg867:
Crackdown 3, newBanjoorConker, and other things that will make Andy happy. [Check out his full predictions bloghere!]
Noir Trilby:
Ok, so here’s my safe predictions: Microsoft will showHalo 2 HDandSunset Overdrive, probably moreQuantum Break. They’ll have a speech about how they’ve received a clear message from the “core gamer”, they’ll show some 3rd party stuff likeWitcher 3, and maybe have a surprise announcement like a newPerfect DarkorBanjo. After everything that’s happened to them they’ll be doing everything they can to get back in gamers good graces.
AlucardsQuest:
My prediction is thatHalo 5needs to blow people away in order for it to be a huge hit. A lot of people were disappointed byHalo 4and without the prestige of Bungie, they’ll have an uphill battle on their hands. Otherwise they’ve been making good decisions but if they want to be back on top, they need to make like 5 more great decisions in a row… one of which has to be a mindblowing new IP! A Rare reworking of an old classic (even if by another studio) wouldn’t hurt either.
TerryBroadway:
My hope isL4D3,Crackdown3, andViva Pinata 3. I need more good reasons to grab that $399 XBO. Right now I literally have no reason to get it. I want it, but there’s just nothing at the moment.
Occams Electric Toothbrush:
A newShadow Heartsgame.A sequel to the classicBiker Mice from Marsracing game.A brand new fuckingBloody Roargame.An HD remake ofClive Barker’s Undying.The Warhammer 40K action RPG where we finally get to play as the Space Wolves.L.A. Noiretype game but based onHellblazerand written by Jason Aaron.Corn Dog Divas: The Wrestling Game.Remember that CG sex scene inLawnmower Man? That but a game.A Fresca dispenser. Fresca fucking rocks.Finally, my dad to stop flicking his cigarette ash into my contact lens solution.
Andrew:
Microsoft CEO comes on stage, transforms into some sort of terrible reptile creature, and devours the audience before going on to write a hit broadway musical. [Sounds like E3 all right! -Andy]
