I wonder if they are waiting to see Sony reveal Neo before saying more with Scorpio.
Recore
Forza Horizon 3
Gears 4
Dead Rising 4
No big November release but a first time December release
No GC and no TGS surely means X16 is coming, right?
Record setting, in their own words, because it was their most watched/talked conference ever.Ah. I hate when they trot that stuff around and use it as their PR line. Saying 'record-setting' all over the place just sounds corny as fuck. It seems like they will make up any old adjective, irrespective of how things go.

For a few years they used to have their own show where they'd make some announcements.X16?
I stand correctedFixed for you
Gamescom as a press event is done.
Makes sense for them to skip. They don't seem to have anything new to show; it would be pointless. The lack of any new IP announcements this year from Microsoft is troubling.
Yep.
Gamescom as a press event is done.
What does 'record-setting E3' mean? Was Guinness there taking entries?
So edgy...
People still surprised by PR-speak...
Here's hoping for PGW presence.

Considering how terrible their E3 was in terms of new game annoucements, this surprises me a little bit. But then again it's Microsoft, making baffling decisions is their specialty
I'd appreciate the return of "X", something for later in the year (or early in the year) where you are as far away from E3 where there are new stuff to be shown.
And Microsoft in particular should be interested in showing they are still relevant enough to pull off their own event.
What I actually like is that they don't seem to announce too many games years and years ahead of when they actually come out (with some exceptions like Quantum Break and Scalebound).

The disappointing thing for me is not even the quantity. It's the lack of variety and risk. Two fucking zombie game sequels and a Forza that is already perpetually announced as a yearly franchise. That was their E3. In an event that people hype to see new games or long awaited sequels, that's a terrible showing.
And Crack down, Phatom dust, Fable legends.
I head first party game publishing for Xbox One or Windows 10 or any of our platforms. We right now have, i think, 14 games in development. We talked about four of those this morning – Killer Instinct, Scalebound, State of Decay 2, and ReCore. We also have Crackdown 3, which we announced has now been moved into 2017, and there are a few other ones that aren’t quite ready to be talked about yet.
From a Shannon Loftis interview at E3
So 17 games in production and we know of - Killer Instinct, Scalebound, State of Decay 2, and ReCore and I would then imaigine that Gears 4, Horizon 3, Sea of Thieves, Halo Wars 2.
Mind is a blank right now, what else is out there that we know of?

Microsoft generally has, what, two press conferences a year?
Is Microsoft really in a position to be taking risks on software?
Here.
Translates into : We asked PS France about it and they confirmed there wouldn't be a press conference at Gamescom 2016.
More than ever? Unless they want to continue to milk their tentpole franchises dry until there's nothing left that sells.
Yep. E3 and Gamescom is it.Microsoft generally has, what, two press conferences a year?
That is exactly what they'll have to do. Even their largest IP dropped off dramatically from the previous iterations. MS is just trying to leverage as much as they can right now. Investing in a big new AAA IP only for it to perform poorly would be a large hit.More than ever? Unless they want to continue to milk their tentpole franchises dry until there's nothing left that sells.
Well, their new IP certainly hasn't sold well (Quantum Break/Sunset Overdrive) while games like Forza and Halo continue to do well.
Have they been given a reason to make new IP that will probably sell poorly?

For first party, sales should take a backseat, diversify your library is more import as a platform holder.
