Thanks to GarthVaderUK, InaudibleWhispa, Kafel, jagowar, Kifimbo, siyrobbo, Jtyettis, Brotkasten and Father_Brain for additional rumors!

Update:

Frankie says these are just from an ad agency, but in case he's stretching the truth, we'll keep this here.

I'm really worried about what else Microsoft has to show, because if it's all Kinect related I'm out.

E3 is going to be disappointing.

[Grisby]

Well on one hand I like the Kinect stuff since there really hasn't been anything for the system to play. However, I hope that maybe they'll still get a core game or two in there this year.

[Vorg]

I just want them to announce shadow complex 2 at e3...

[cuyahoga]

Does the Aussie board rate DLC stuff? Wouldn't be surprised if the Certain Affinity stuff was some codenamed Halo thing.

[Princess Skittles]

Let's be friends.

[InaudibleWhispa]

Lionhead Working on Unannounced Kinect Project (likely E3 unveil -- Possibly Fable Kinect Game, as mentioned)
Big Park (Kinect Joy Ride) working on new story-driven IP
Alan Wake: Night Springs XBLA title (possible Kinect Support)
Frontier Developments will be there (probably the "veteran Kinect developer" working on 2 new games) working on new rollercoaster game
Good Science Studio will be there (Shannon Loftis is the lead dev -- twitter)

[omimasum]

normally its sony's e3 plans that are always leaked, but this seems interesting

[Sn4ke_911]

Why is there nothing that makes me really excited about MS press conference? :(

except for MGS: RISING

I'm really worried about what else Microsoft has to show, because if it's all Kinect related I'm out.

they sold a shitload of kinects with no games, so of course they're going in heavy this year. They punted the ball on doing anything interesting with "core" first party titles, so eat up more Halo, Forza, and Fable. It's really a 3rd party console anyways. So hopefully there's surprises there. I couldn't give less of a shit about more Gears or CoD.

At least they have XBLA, and they've been doing great with that platform.

[TheOddOne]

There seem to be two Family Studios, one located in Redmond and one in Vancouver. They are co-producing something with maby a thirdparty developer.

[DMeisterJ]

Only Halo CE Make for me... Halo 1 with online would get bought soo fast.

Dance Central 2 should be fun though. DC is a really fun game.

[Rygar 8 Bit]

Can we sit down to watch the MS press conference? Or do we have to stand 6 feet away from our screens and wave our arms wildly?

[SimpleDesign]

I'm really worried about what else Microsoft has to show, because if it's all Kinect related I'm out.

It's going to be fun to watch demonstrators flailing around trying to play an FPS.

[UnluckyKate]

I definitely dig Microsoft conference this year.

[jagowar]

This does not directly affect the 360 much but it might be talked about at e3....

http://wmpoweruser.com/zune-services...-re-organized/
possible xbox portable
also re-branding of the zune stuff on xbox

[Nirolak]

By god, how many are there.

This list is almost 30 long.

[InaudibleWhispa]

Haunt, Project Draco, Codename D, Steel Battalion 2 and Rise of Nightmares are all possible 2011 titles. I'm sure at least one or two of them will show, though they could be saved for TGS.

[Raide]

By god, how many are there. This list is almost 30 long.

Indeed! At least they have some rumours!

[Neuromancer]

Some real interesting stuff in here I must have missed from before.

Crimson Alliance?
Fusion: Genesis?
Kinect Fun Lab?

I know it's mostly going to be Kinect stuff, that's fine with me personally.

[TheOddOne]

Temporary exclusivity on MW3 map packs!

That is a lock, since they signed a three years timed-exlcusive mappack contract for all future COD's.

[Kafel]

Kinect rumor : Microsoft creates community site to connect developers to users?

A new team in IEB is developing innovative technology and services that will be used by Kinect enabled titles. Help create a new community site centered around Kinect developers and users.

[lockload]

I find it depressing that MS is opening new studios but its all kinect games

Kinect. Kinect. Kinect. KECINT. Oh god I'm drowning in them.

[Woffls]

Shadow Complex 2 is what I want to see more than anything from MS this year... well, aside from Banjo Threeie, but I'm trying to be realistic. I'm just not interested in Microsoft's IP at the moment.

I'm not expecting much after last year, and I'm concerned that they've put too much focus on Kinect. Frontier's game could be interesting, but I really can't see it working without M+KB.

Oh, and Lionhead's game had better damn well be Black & White 3.

[The Lamonster]

Cool thread. We should have Sony and Nintendo equivalents!

Cannot wait for E3 this year.

[GarthVaderUK]

Project Orapa/IPTV rumour:
http://www.engadget.com/2011/03/11/x...project-orapa/

"Project Orapa" that reportedly combines Xbox Live, Kinect and IPTV service all in one.

[Dynoro]

Interesting mix of possible games there; definitely enough to keep me busy

[KAL2006]

Will the OP be doing a Nintendo and Sony thread?

If so I can help out with the Sony thread.

Like so many other rumours, we may find out in less than 2 days.

What do they mean, in less than 2 days?

I would make them, but unfortunately, I know very few rumors for either Sony or Nintendo.

[InaudibleWhispa]

Thanks to a NeoGAF poster, Kinect Object recognition/scanning, auto-character creation from a body scan and interactive story books were rumoured, and then somewhat given credence in a Microsoft patent recently made public. Though perhaps the evidence is too weak to be worth mentioning.

[Angry Fork]

Wow @ how much Kinect stuff is in there. I knew it would be a lot of the conference but it seems like it'll be at least 75% of it. That really sucks.

[Hey You]

I'm happy we are getting some new Kinect stuff, so I'll finally be able to use it but I want some core titles as well.

Hopefully we get a mix of both.

[Kafel]

MS just acquired Skype. They talked about features with Live and Kinect in the PR.


GAF post about stuff made possible with Kinect recently

object scanning, Avatar making software (Kinect Me I'd guess), Interactive books and learning software

[Effect]

I'm really worried about what else Microsoft has to show, because if it's all Kinect related I'm out.

It's what they have to do in order to get the adoption rate up. They are serious it seems about pushing it. I'm still somewhat surprise they are going all the way. It's what Sony (wish they had) should have done with Move and what Nintendo should have done with Motion Plus.

[-ImaginaryInsider]

I have nothing against Kinect, but I find it disconcerting that 95% of these rumors are Kinect-related.

[KAL2006]

Ruffian are rumored to be making multiple games and one of them is rumored to be Crackdown 3

[REV 09]

Im interested to see if any of this hardcore Kinect talk actually hits its mark.

[V_Ben]

Adding. Thank you! I would make them, but unfortunately, I know very few rumors for either Sony or Nintendo.

For Sony, there's that dance game. Check the superannuation twitter, probably thread worthy, but I'm on my phone :)

[Father_Brain]

Via superannuation: Petz Horzez and Imagine: Fashion Model developer Virtual Toys apparently working on Kinect title for MS.

[Kafel]

I have nothing against Kinect, but I find it disconcerting that 95% of these rumors are Kinect-related.

Because it's what's new and exciting (and shows up in patents/job listings). You'll get your traditional retail and XBLA games as well.

[TheOddOne]

From supererogatory:
Spanish developer Virtual Toys (Petz: Horsez 2) working on first-party Kinect game for Microsoft (source 2)

Lawl.

Edit: Beaten lawl.
