Even thought a couple of your items won't happen, I think this is a fairly accurate "guess" as to what will likely go down. Probably sprinkle in more Wndows 10/Xbox fusion talk, as well as some back compat stuff and a bit of VR talk. But that's probably close.

I want to see what Recore is like. They are very secretive about it, is it a smaller digital title and they don't want to say.
Suppose they could tease Alan Wake and Halo 6 but that would be 2 years out for Halo and who knows for Wake.
Forza Horizon 3 maybe?
Something other than Pirates from Rare.
Undead Labs new game, big State of Decay or something else.
I don't think there will be much more than that on top of Gears, Halo Wars, Scalebound, first showing like Titanfall or something. Can't fit too much in 2 hours.

I think so as well. Microsoft's last few conferences have been pretty predictable and formulaic but not in a bad way. We usually can guess about 80% what they're going to do at their conferences.
I only threw the Mistwalker prediction in because I feel like we're overdue for an "Oh shit!!" game announcement from Microsoft.

...lacks reading comprehension.
Wasn't the Rare Replay team basically ten guys? It was a side project, I doubt there is a Rare Replay team capable of doing a full game.
Expecting:
Gears of War 4 campaign mission
Sea of Thieves gameplay
Forza PGR reveal
Halo Wars 2 gameplay reveal
Re-Core gameplay
New Rare 3rd person action adventure trailer
Halo 6 teaser
Xbox One Slim (same specs)

I think it had a delay though.
I remember switching between many streams and they were either horrible quality or delayed.
Their trend has been to contract third party to develop games using their 1st party IPs and/or 3rd party exclusives. They don't need to own a ton of studios to nail down exclusives. It's actually probably a lot less risky to do business this way.
Examples:
Forza Horizon: Playground Games
Killer Instict: Double Helix, Iron Galaxy
Quantum Break: Remedy
Halo Wars 2: creative assembly
Crackdown 3: Reagent Games
Scalebound: Platinum Games
Recore: Comcept
It goes without saying that the unannounced games they have for 2016 are likely being developed by 3rd parties... Since we already know what their first parties are up to.
I bet 2017 will be the same, a MS footing the bill, contracting out work for IPs they own.

This is a pretty comprehensive list. Should be close to what we see. Although, I expect a monkey wrench zinger in there somewhere.

Yeah exactly, they don't say a thing about it. And isn't it a rather small development team as well? Inafune and Armature right? And iirc they aren't very big. Plus Inafune is still busy on Mighty No 9? The fact that they haven't revealed a lot doesn't necessarily mean anything, because i believe Sony announced several new games as well and so far we haven't seen much on those as well? We'll find out when E3 happens.
Will it be 1.5 hours like always?

Even harder to do it 90 minutes.
I wonder if 343 could do a single player expansion pack for Halo 5, maybe a campaign from the arbiters perspective or even continuing the story from 5. I do expect real DLC for Halo 5 at some point, and I'm sure it won't be multiplayer related.
I'd also like to really see them go back and fix the MCC, along with porting it over to W10 and adding crossplay. I understand it's a Frankenstein of a project, but Halo is xbox, to alot of people. The MCC needs to be reflective of that, and the state it's in isn't terrible, but its not where your premier legacy titles should be.
I'd also hope they get another partnership oppertunity with capcom. Maybe Dead Rising 4, maybe something else. I could see Dino Crisis being a great choice, maybe reboot lost planet.
Otogi 3. That's the real dream.

They never said no more third party exclusives and to the rest of your post.. have you seen Microsoft lineup? Only gears and sea of thieves is being developed by first party.. clearly they aren't having issues making these deals so why should they all of a sudden only have first party studios on 2017 games?
As for 2017 possibilities, just off the top of my head:
Halo 3 Anniversary
Dead Rising 4
Forza 7
State of Decay 2
Crackdown
Scalebound
Ori and the Blind Forest 2
Minecraft 2? would be 3 years since the acquisition
Indies etc.

I really hope we see something from Undead Labs, I enjoyed the heck out of State of Decay. Hopefully it will be a State of Decay style MMO, I would be all over that.

Totally with you there, I hope they have a mega update for it. Shouldn't be left as is. Perfect it and even make substantial changes that are totally different not just a fix.
I could go another Otogi for sure.

I hope that 343i comes out and announces some SP DLC for H5. Maybe show what the hell Chief Blue Team was actually up to while we were stuck playing as Osiris... Give em a chance to redeem that story a bit.
Hell I'd even like to play as Arbiter during the Sanghelios. Allow us to fight against the infinitely more fun Covenant, instead of prometheans.

TitanFall1 was originally supposed to launch in the fall despite BF4, right?

That means absolutely nothing.
So uh what are you talking about, do you have anything on a new system?
Oh I'm pretty certain it wouldn't... No need to apologize.
i hate you
This would be so great.

I think Gears of War 4 needs a big showing. Last year's teaser didn't set the world alight and while the MP may have inspired confidence among fans, I don't think they've done anything to really bring new players in.
It needs a blockbuster demo.

I know I say this all the time, but they've never said it was a beta. I honestly think it's going to be F2P MP standalone with the story next year. When Microsoft purposely avoids using a word, you know they're doing it for a reason

Last year it was the Thursday before E3 (June 11th) where Phil Spencer put up the news post detailing a few of the games to expect at E3 and other games that would have their announcements pushed to Gamescom.
I wonder if they'll do a similar thing this year, splitting announcements between Gamesom and E3, and putting up a pre-E3 post giving some info on where we can expect to see more of already announced games (E3 or Gamescom).

Oh man, can't wait!
Crackdown and ReCore.
Really looking forward to seeing those games.
Also hope they have some spectacular surprises.

Nice. They have a great software lineup for this year and next, excited to see some actual game play from a lot of these games.
Interested to see whether or not there is any new hardware shown, as the Neo will surely be dominating the conversation at E3. I could see a Slim being announced this year, MS sticking to that model until 2018 and then launching the next iteration of the console.

The wording of it is strange and is the real red flag but I think it makes too much sense business wise to make it F2P too.
F2P means everyone can play it and check it out which helps their goal here, and also helps their Azure business. F2P most likely comes with loads of microtransactions and for a game using all these Azure servers, it's probably more cost effective to have F2P with MTX than try to charge $60 or whatever for it next year alongside the campaign. As sad as it is, F2P with MTX is probably going to bring in more $ than a full priced Crackdown game.

Who has the Mechwarrior license? What about Mechassault.
I would KILL for a AAA Battletech game.
