The tile with the Rare logo was that looked like Wizards & Warriors.
Haven't anyone came up with this game?
I can do an account bet on this over who doubt it.
I called it too:
Except Rare confirmed he's not a knight etc already.

We didn't know about Quantum Break at all.
What's more interesting is that 8.1 is going to support Miracast.
It's not just rumored, Microsoft have confirmed Rare are preparing a historic revival of a cherished franchise.
They didn't quite say that, it was taken out of context. They just said Rare's "classic IP" will be important to Xbox One moving forward - doesn't necessarily mean they're working on anything right now.
No they've actually vocally said 'Historic' I've heard two MS peeps say it now.

Where Hix? Could you post me a link? Curious
Rare Ltd. ‏@RareLtd 23 May
@Cube1701 The first thing I said myself was "that picture makes it look like it's something to do with knights".

Rare Ltd is poised to return to one of its cherished franchises in what Microsoft Studios boss Phil Spencer bills a "historic" revival.
Knights into Dreams.
Phil Spencer said:fans of Rare and Rare IP I think will be pleased with what we're going to show at E3. We had a limited amount of time today and a lot of story to tell. But Rare remains an incredibly important part of our development capability. That historic IP that they've built I think can play a real important role on Xbox One."
From Twitter, can't get a screenshot at the minute.
Actually OXM interviewed Phil Spencer and got this;
Wicked, thanks buddy. Just hope it's not KI3, from my point of view. That's probably the franchise I'm least interested in.

Thankfully, a glance at the bigger picture reveals that this is more a question of presentation than strategy. Microsoft will invest no less than $1 billion into games next gen - an unprecedented sum for the firm - and Xbox One will see 15 exclusive titles in its first year at retail, including eight new IPs. All that's on top of a two-year period of bulking up, which has seen Microsoft Studios open new games studios in London, Washington and Victoria, British Columbia while snapping up talent for its existing operations.
Core gaming powerhouses 343 Studios, Lionhead and Turn 10 have all seen significant appointments - Lionhead, for instance, now runs under the supervision of MMO expert John Needham, in further evidence that the rumoured Fable 4 will be a cloud-centric affair. Microsoft has hired former Sony executive Phil Harrison - the man who oversaw the gestation of such noted PlayStation IPs as LittleBigPlanet - to manage internal projects and developer relations in Europe. Rare Ltd is poised to return to one of its cherished franchises in what Microsoft Studios boss Phil Spencer bills a "historic" revival.
Black Tusk Studios is working on a mysterious action title that's designed to compete with Halo and Gears of War. Microsoft has opened Lift London to create and incubate smaller scale cloud-based games. New projects are underway at Microsoft Studios Osaka, reflecting IEB president Don Mattrick's assertion that the company remains "committed" to Japan. Perhaps most hearteningly, Microsoft has acquired Press Play and Twisted Pixel to work on "weird, unique" titles for Xbox Live. In short, there's a lot more bubbling away under the surface than the Xbox One event suggests.
Pushed to discuss Microsoft's attitude to first-party exclusives during a roundtable conversation with journalists, he offers a regrettably detail-free yet promising account of Xbox One's core release slate. "I think they're always important. We just ran through our script and counted the number of exclusives, and looked at the amount of money that we're spending and the deals that we have, exclusive windows and [things to create differentiation]. I think, candidly, people are way, way under-indexing how hard we're punching."
"We're going to come out with detail on things and people are going to go, 'oh my god'. Like, 'they were focused, they made this a core goal, core activity'. There are great hits, there's innovation, and there are world class creators plugged in. You know, I keep track of it all, and I hope everyone here does - we kind of look back at all the different years and at what we shipped, how many units have sold. There's a lot of hyperbole about things, but I think we're going to deliver."
Naturally, Mattrick's immensely heartened by the feedback on all this from third parties. "What I've heard other people say, without breaking any of their non-disclosure agreements, is that we've got something pretty good, and they're excited to work with us and to see what the capabilities are, and what it could mean for their business. As creators and particularly as consumers, people are like 'how do I get one early?'"

So yeah, it sounds like they have at least one historic IP planned to show off at E3.
It won't be KI3 if it's "important" to Xbone. Not that KI3 wouldn't be awesome, but I have to assume it's more of a niche title than a 3D platformer like Banjo would be.

I hope Twisted Pixel do a retail Blinx game, I think they'd do it justice.
Why would people care if it's...that 'historic' of a franchise ?
A sequel to a game that old would basically be a new IP.
Yeah, I can't see Perfect Dark being important either, they need to diversify and Halo, Gears and Black Tusk along with possibly Respawn ... I fail to see how a Rare shooter would be important.
Out of all their franchises, Conker and Banjo are the most prolific and important to MS.

It would be Spartan assault not urban. Ms has domains fit spartan assault.SuperÑ;60954449 said:Banjo Kazooie Grunty Land

The canned PD game was said to be more like Deus Ex then yet another shooter. They could turn the series into a Spy RPG where shooting is just one of the ways to solve a mission.
Spartan Assault. Microsoft recently obtained domain names for it.What is that Halo ___ Assault game?
You really think (not being facetious, honestly asking) think a 3D platformer (even with the BK name) is less of a niche product than a fighting game?
I want to play that so much...
And don't forget a player movement system similar to Mirrors Edge!The canned PD game was said to be more like Deus Ex then yet another shooter. They could turn the series into a Spy RPG where shooting is just one of the ways to solve a mission.
