What do you expect to see from MS's first party lineup?

So Phil Spencer and Don Mattrick have said they have 15 exclusives coming in the first year, from Microsoft Studios. What do you honestly expect them to be? I think they're including "second-party" games like Quantum Break from Remedy and Ryse from Crytek since those are published by Microsoft. It does not include possible rumored third-party exclusives like Respawn's Titan, and Dead Rising 3 from Capcom.

First of all, here are their current internal studios we know of.

343 Industries
Turn 10
Black Tusk
Rare
Lionhead
Soho Productions
Lift London
Big Park
Twisted Pixel
Press Play
Good Science
Microsoft Studios Victoria
Microsoft Studios Redmond
Microsoft Studios Osaka

They have other teams and stuff but we don't know anything about what they could be working on, so I'm going to leave them off.

Then we have the third-party devs who have worked with MS before and currently like Remedy, Ruffian, Epic, Crytek, and Certain Affinity.

So realistically, I think their lineup from those studios looks something like this.

Halo 2 HD - 343i/Certain Affinity
Forza Motorsport 5 -Turn 10
Ryse - Crytek
Quantum Break - Remedy
Killer Instinct 3 or Perfect Dark 2 - Rare
New IP - Rare
Crackdown 3 - Ruffian? Not really sure who could be making this but the orb in the conference was a obvious hint
Fable IV - Lionhead
Lift London - F2P game
Soho Productions - New Kinect IP
Press Play - XBLA game
Twisted Pixel - XBLA game
Big Park - New IP with enhanced Kinect controls
Black Tusk - new sci-fi FPS IP

I'm not sure about the others at this point.

Also, no "LOL 15 KINECT GAMES" posts. Those do not contribute in any way to the purpose of the thread.

The Verge's report also listed an open world zombie game. Might fit into one of the TBA titles of their internal studios.

Even if it were shown, I doubt it would be exclusive. The first one was exclusive because the 360 was all there was at the time. Dead Rising 2 was promptly multiplatform.

I read it, but I'm setting myself up for disappointment from MS. So other than outdated franchises I have no interest in, I'm expecting them to highlight the fuck out of Forza. Especially since GT6 is a PS3 game, it'd be stupid of them not to show the fuck out of their next-gen racer.

Forza 5
Halo 5
Kinect Sports 2
Kinect Adventures 2
Kinectimals 2
Dance Central 4
Crackdown 3

Probably some others I'm forgetting.

Killer Instinct 3 will not be there...just saying. It will be some other Rare title we down't give a shit about.

Crackdown 3 or some name other than 3
Probably tease a new Halo
We will see gameplay of COD
I am assuming we will see more Forza
Shadow Complex 2

Either it is the upcoming State of Decay (fucking day 1 for me), or maybe a retail next gen State of Decay?
I want State of Decay btw.



















State of Decay.

I was actually more or less serious. I wouldn't be surprised if there will a couple of Halo games/spin offs, it's obvious there will be multiple kinect games, I could see at least one sports related exclusive and well the call of doggy was just for fun.

The same as Sony's and Nintendo's.


Alot of mediocre to decent stuff that is both overhyped and overly hated due to it being first party.

MS will have one of everything.. but the focus will be on FPS and Kinect. There are at LEAST 3-4 FPS games coming out of MS themselves depending on what Rare does, and you will definitely see Kinect Sports, Kinect Fitness, and some sort of Kinectanimals

Add Forza, and a few third party shooters such as Crackdown and Quantum Break. The American crowd will eat it up

Famousmortimer also said the same thing.

He also mentioned Hawken, League of Legends, and a new Insomniac game coming to the X1 as exclusives.

Fable 4 from Lionhead

There will be more but I've no idea what.

Forza 5
Halo Wars 2
Lost Odyssey 2
Fable MMO

Black Tusk's new IP
New IP from Rare

That would be amazing. That said, I'm not going into the event with any preconceived notions. I will say that to the world and especially to me, they are on the clock when it comes to games but I think they are going to surprise. I hope and feel that they will make more of an investment for software for the XB1 than they did for the 360.

I think Bloodwake would be at the bottom of the list of MS IP's we could see revived.

I expect some good things from them. Obviously some kinect crap as well but they has plenty of new teams making new IP and big existing teams doing sequels to stuff. They will have a good show.

Halo, Gears of War, Kinect Sports Season 3, maybe one Rare IP revived (probably releases to poor reviews), Forza, Fable 4, Ryse (not really a "first party" game though, since MS doesn't own the studio), some more Kinect titles, some XBLA games (Splosion Man 2, Geometry Wars 3, etc), and hopefully Crackdown 3.

I'd also mention Quantom Break but that's obvious since it's already announced.

Make Rare relevant again, and THEN, MAYBE THEN, I might consider a purchase.

EDIT: Who the fuck am I kidding. I still don't think I'll buy this console after this weeks events.

I'm really hoping for Conker from Rare. Also curious about Black Tusk's game, what genre are they rumored to be making?

Sci-fi horror FPS.

Also, here is the map showing all of MS's studios in America.

Each dot is apparently a studio of theirs. I'm assuming this includes teams that make apps and tech teams since that would be a ton of game studios.

Sequels to franchises they've already run into the ground.
A bunch of Kinect crap.
Maybe the Black Tusk game.

I expect the same as X06 in that they announce everything they have in development for the next three years.
