We will have to agree to disagree. Destiny was quite enjoyable in my opinion, and I was interested from the beginning. SoT hasn't piqued my interest much at all outside of the coop nature and art style. In my eyes they have far more differences than similarities.
Just because you aren't interested doesn't change the fact that they appear to have structural similarities.
Open world, instanced, first person games with a heavy focus on co-op.
I mean, I'd like both those things, but honestly that's because it would mean they'd get PC releases as well.

Wow, I just went back and skimmed through last years E3 briefing for Microsoft and realized that the only 3rd party games they really showed that aren't independent games was:
BF1
Gwent
Tekken 7
FFXV
I mean I guess they had a plenty of first party stuff to show with (gears 4, FH3, KI, Recore, DR4, HW2, SoT, Scalebound, and Minecraft).
But still, 5 of of those games mentioned above are already out and one got canceled so it will be interesting to see how they fill the time if they don't have a lot of new 1st party that we just don't know about.
One thing they may do is spend time going through and showing footage from a list of games receiving a Scorpio patch, or going over new Scorpio software features
....not very inspiring, but that is one option.
I also I think it will be interesting to see how much they show of Sea of Thieves since they have already showed it at the past 2 E3 shows now.

Other "insiders" have said that and here we have you revealing that MS are pulling out all the stops. Hype level increasing!

I didn't reveal MS is pulling out all the stops. I was expressing surprise at another potential deal. I personally think its gonna be a subdued E3, unless you're excited for HW & services. But thats just my take.

It is partially a gut feeling but no way MS only shows up with two third party titles and one of them is Shadow of War.
Even when Sony or MS say they have a focus on first party stuff, they still have a good amount of third party to accompany it.
I'm expecting a big third party title to go along with the two I mentioned.

Shooting + Open World elements =/= Destiny clone. The setting, inbuilt pvp, drastically different gear systems, world design and progression systems are just some of the things that make them similar only at skin depth. That's like saying that Bioshock and Halo are chasing the same audience because their perspective is the same and they contain guns.
Wolfenstein is big now?
No one is arguing it's a destiny clone though... or even that they are chasing the same audience...
Just that they the are similar in structure. Destiny, The Division, and Sea of Theives are different takes on a similar idea- open world instanced co-op. I disagree with the "skin deep" line- it's the opposite. The similarities are at the foundation, but the setting, mechanics, and progressions systems are where they diverge.

My guess was BioWare's Project Dylan, though it did just get a delay. Not sure if it's going to be at E3, but my guess is that MS will co-market it.
I'll also continue to say CyberPunk 2077, just because eventually it will be at E3. I hope.

In his article Jez says they have an EA unannounced game for the show. Only thing I can think of is Project Dylan?
It's really not when compared to the other third party games in question. I don't think The New Order sold nearly as well as shadow of mordor, and MS getting shadow of war's marketing wasn't even considered all that big in the grand scheme of things. Certainly not when put up against the likes of Assassins Creed, Fifa, Destiny, COD etc.

Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic spiritual successor? I mean they had that with KOTOR on the Original Xbox with Bioware

Btw is The Movies IP own by MS? would like to see this series come back.
Kinda.
Splinter Cell would be lovely as well.
Exactly what I was thinking. Dylan makes sense, especially with its online MMO focus.
Personally I just hope there is a top RPG in there somewhere.

We know the Star Wars pipeline over the next few years. There is no new KOTOR for the foreseeable future.
Also, SW deals are with Sony.

Corden keeps insisting Battlefront II will be 4K 60fps. I can't comprehend that yet.. I actually can't even imagine how mind blowing that will look.

I'd rather have them work with sumo digital to make a carbon copy of Sega all stars but with Ms characters.
Then they would already start with a game that puts mk8 to shame and has a incredible potential to be a service as well.
If they took inspiration from games like MK8 and Diddy Kong Racing (in terms of challenge, content and battle modes) from Rare back in the day and included characters like Banjo, Blinx and Conker, that could really be something! Good call!
Please no. Those are an embarrassment.
He'll be wearing OG Xbox tee at least once, I'm positive.

Hype trains have basically been nipped in the bud. Mods feel they take away from the thread itself with people constantly asking to be put on.

A (presumingly) $400 box that plays a large scale and very high fidelity game such as Battlefront 2 at 4k/60 in 2017 is pretty awesome.

This sorts great, and it'd a good fit for the setting to boot. New TR is Gears-Adjacent anyway, making a game that takes that up a notch would be fantastic.
Sea of Thieves isn't a loot game, though. Or at least they've said it's not. We'll see how/if that changes.
God, yes. I haven't played a good combat arcade shooter in FOREVER and it'd be super easy to GaaS it up without destroying the cool parts.
You're an embarrassment!

Maybe assets will be on high vs ultra to get it to 4k60

I'm so damn excited for this I can't even wait.
Will enjoy being at the conference for a 3rd straight year!

Understandable.
I think as long as people take it a specific thread it should be OK. But I don't need to be scrolling through 30 posts of the same picture when trying to discuss things.
I agree on Cyberpunk. I'm not convinced it will be there this year, but I'm half expecting it and wouldn't be surprised at all if it showed up. It's still likely a a late 2018 game at Best, but I think they will show more sooner than later.

Shinobi and Jez mentioned it, I can only guess it's something more mid-tier like Wolfenstein
I'm guessing Madden, Shadow of War, Assassins Creed, Wolfenstein
Maybe it's weird that all their partners are SP games while Sony is gunning for the MP ones but I guess you take what you can get heh

I keep hearing Armored Core being thrown around lately. Is something new coming there from From?
DriftingSpirit

From is working on three games and Armored Core is one of them.

PC exclusive or KB/M exclusive if they want put it on console.
Controller friendly RTS is a joke.

What they can't deliver in software this year they will have to make up with service and value.
If they don't come out guns blazing, they won't gain the momentum they need to increase their MAU.

Heavily disagree. They've already done a great job in terms of services/value. Really the only thing lacking right now is OG Xbox BC and... bringing said services to PC. ( which doesn't matter if you're an Xbox owner )
They. must. deliver. on. software.
