![]() And I'm going to be conscious of putting things on-stage when I know I can make a commitment to my fans and customers that they're going to get to play those games." I thought we had a great lineup of games. So, I love the lineup of games we had on-stage. And then you set some kind of bar from gameplay, because people will take expectation that probably has very little to do, or might not have anything to do with what you actually land." But I also know, as we're working through the creative process of giving the team the time to go deliver the great game we want them to deliver, whether it's Halo or something brand new, the time it takes to just get ready for the screen is real time away from production on the game. Just to pick on Halo because people know there's Halo. And I'll tell you, as a platform holder there's tension because, if I had shown Master Chief running around in 4K on the screen, the place would have gone crazy. "We're not alone in putting games on-stage early that then have a second E3, a third E3 before they actually come out. He went on to talk about learning from the mistakes of not only Xbox but other companies as well (presumably Nintendo with Breath of the Wild and Sony with games like The Last Guardian). People know we have Gears and Halo in our portfolio, and we're working on other things that aren't on this list…"įrom the sounds of it, he just doesn't want to make the mistake of announcing games too soon and making people wait years and years leading to a situation where it may even get canceled *cough* Scalebound *cough*. We showed Forza."įrankly, I loved the fact I didn't have to bring out Gears and Halo just to say, hey. Now we're giving that game time to really hit what we want State of Decay to do, because that will be an important franchise for us. Some people played State of Decay 1, but a lot of people missed it. ![]() I thought State of Decay showed up really well. It's going to be there at launch day for Xbox One X, which will be a great showcase for the box. We showed Crackdown, which looks fantastic. We're focusing on Xbox One S and Xbox One X and the games you're going to play. "The focus I had on this show was games you're going to get to play in the next year. Speaking with Eurogamer, Phil Spencer addressed why we didn't see any brand new triple-A Xbox exclusives at E3 this year. Is it enough to tide fans over until 2018 when games like Sea of Thieves and State of Decay 2 will be released? Hard to say but you can't blame someone for being skeptical. ![]() ![]() Fans will be able to enjoy two new triple-A Xbox One exclusives when Xbox One X launches in November: Forza Motorsport 7 and Crackdown 3. No Halo, Gears of War, or a new IP to blow us away. Yeah, we'll be getting the annualized Forza game but other than that, there wasn't any major new Xbox exclusive announced. This is great and all but some were disappointed in the lack of triple-A first-party titles from Microsoft. They announced the Xbox One X, showed some great third-party games like Metro: Exodus and Anthem, and gave some updates on first-party games like Crackdown 3, Sea of Thieves, and State of Decay 2. Microsoft had a really solid conference at E3 this year. ![]()
