Why This PlayStation Fan Is More Excited For The Xbox E3 Than PS4

Coin Drop:

This is something I have been thinking a lot about lately. I don't hate Xbox, nor do I want it to fail, I just think the PS4 is an overall better machine. However, given Microsoft's recent silence, and the lack of new games being announced by them, I have a sneaking suspicion this years E3 could actually pan out.

[Elda]

Really? LOL!

[DarkVoyager]

I’m excited for E3 period. I can’t wait to see both their showings.

[thekhurg]

Hey looks it's yet ANOTHER "I'm so pumped for Microsoft at E3 this year" article.

These come up each and every year. It's paid advertisement from MS. We'll get several of these, then several more right after E3 about how amazing the MS show was. Followed by 11 months and near silence because nothing will release, then more hype articles this time next year.

[PUBG]

^^^

Yeah, because Sony and every other company in the gaming industry never has paid advertisements....

[UCForce]

@PUGB But who paid advertisement the most ? Is Sony, MS or Nintendo ? MS paid the most advertisement than others.

[DaDrunkenJester]

@UCForce

Do you have any sort of evidence to back that up? Like any at all?

Is it so impossible that game fans are interested to see what MS brings that it HAS to be a paid article? Come on.

Just think about it. They literally have nothing planned for 2019 after Crackdown 3 and Ori and a couple AA games coming there is literally nothing else announced. You're telling me that nobody, besides paid advertiser, are wondering wtf MS is going to announce?

[mcstorm]

DaDrunkenJester spot on. Microsoft have come out and said that they are now only going to announce games that are coming out closer to the time and even though its been quiet over the last few months over game releases this is the time to show what they have over the next 12 months. People see to forget the PS4 and 3 did not have to much in its 1st 12 to 18 teen months on the market but were showing games that were 2 to 3 years away but they have now seemed to of stopped this to.

Think it will be an interesting e3 but for Microsoft more than Sony and Nintendo they now need to focus on there own ips and hit the ground running with pushing the Xbox on. Sony for me need to be pushing the vr space and Nintendo just need to give us some bit 3rd party suppries.

[UCForce]

@DaDrunkenJester This generation, MS will anything to get what they want. Few years ago, MS pushed their advertisement on TV and Xbox One. Even the news confirmed MS advertisement have more than Sony and Nintendo. MS want to dominate the console gaming but not playing fair with others. I’m not talking about crossplay. I’m talking about the competition. MS ignoring the competition and they want to proud themselves without knowing their competitors are way ahead. Like I said, MS have more paid advertisement than other companies.

[mikeslemonade]

No exclusives vs exclusives simple as that. And most of you Xbox fans don’t have a Xbox X. Also the Xbox x still only does 4k at under 60 frames. So you still lose.

[Retroman]

@thekhurg below or above well said. each year N4G promote advertisement) for MS . all SONY need to say PS5 at E3 crowd will go nuts. whatever ms had planned died INSTANTLY!!

[DarXyde]

PUBG,

I think what sets apart Microsoft from other companies in the industry are results. Sony and Nintendo pretty consistently deliver quality titles. For Microsoft, none of their trifecta titles are "bad" and often receive a good amount of praise...but everything beyond that warrants skepticism, it seems.

UCForce,

It doesn't really matter who paid the most if you ask me. The way I see it, it's just an industry practice with different results. No need to point fingers.

[DaDrunkenJester]

@UCForce

Are you suggesting Sony doesn't pay for TV ad space? Or any other paid advertising?

I honestly don't understand your game here. Why are you acting like MS is the only one that does paid advertising?

[Theknightofnights]

@UCForce

Actually, I'm pretty sure Sony spends the most on advertisements now. Here is some information regarding ad spending for the holidays last year: http://n4g.com/news/2127717...

[BadElf]

No love for Nintendo? Cant wait for everyone!

[AspiringProGenji]

MS is being silent because they got no choice. Their last game has failed to meet critical reception, Crackdown 3 is taking forever to release, and Halo 5, Forza, gears are obviously being made (wow didn’t see that coming). Their previous E3s have been overhyped too

Sony is also being silent with new projects, while releasing new games and letting them do the talking. We have to see TloU2 gameplay and Ghost of Tsushima gameplay. TLoU2 gameplay alone will overshadown MS E3, Quote me on that. See you in June!

But to each their own I guess. MS isn’t having their best time in a while to be excited about their silence imo

[Minute Man 721]

Day one for LoU2 Collector's Edition for me but please the gameplay isn't why people love the game. It's the superb story telling

[AspiringProGenji]

That’s BS. The gameplay in TLoU was solid as reviewers pointed out and the fans liked it as well. Not sure about you but I did! The MP also proved it had good gameplay.

Just because people talk more about the story doesn’t mean the gameplay was non existent.

[Minute Man 721]

So you only played LoU for the gameplay?

[Godmars290]

its not so much about what's announced, rather its what gets over-hyped, over-promised, walked back and/or canceled.

[AspiringProGenji]

I play games to play them, not for a particular reason or department. What a game does best or doesn’t is another thing. I believe TLoU did both really good despite some issues with the gameplay like not-so great platforming and some resource imbalances. Having to save shivs for the fear or not being able to open locked was poor balance in harder difficulties.

[rainslacker]

I predict MS is going to break with their new ethos of not announcing games too early. If they really do have new games in the works, like Spencer claims, then they'd be better off showing them, than worrying about the people who complain that they're showing them off too early. Just looking at Sony, or heck, most other publishers, they're announcing 2-3 years from release with absolutely no repercussions except some fan boy taunting. In the meantime, MS....assuming they really are not announcing too early because they feel it's right and it's not because they don't have anything to announce, are taking a beating in the market because the image that they have no new games is being beaten to death, and that is having a lasting impression.

[Godmars290]

@rainslacker:
Want to ask when did they announce that, but I'm guessing that it was recent. Cause all they've ever done is announce games and concepts way too early.

Pretty sure they've done the tactic of naming a popular at the time studio doing an "untitled" game that never comes out every E3.

[Scissorman82]

dont forget death stranding!

[UnHoly_One]

Well I'm only one guy but TLOU's gameplay was not cup of tea.

I thought the story was superbly presented but I would not have finished the game otherwise. I only suffered through playing that game to see how it ended. So yeah, TLOU2 can suck it, unless they drastically change it, which I wouldn't expect them to.

[MarineLineman]

The reaction that TLoU2 got during its PSX reveal says it all: millions upon millions of people are excited for that game. The gameplay reveal is likely going to break the internet lol

[SuperSaiyanGod41]

I hope he's right. I'd love to see Microsoft come back swinging just so they can push Sony to keep delivering great triple a games like they always have. Nintendo is a different crowd base, because they are hybrid but competition is great for a healthy industry.

[Christopher]

Essentially boils down to "hope."

[rainslacker]

MS is about as silent as they always have been. Last year, they weren't talking about all their games apparently, and we still got a lackluster show. The year before that, I think they only announced one new game. I'm not sure why people think this year will be any different, especially if MS holds true to their word that they don't want to announce games too early because apparently no one likes that....although that's a pretty new advent which seem to come from the fact they didn't have much to show for a few years down the road, and two of the three games we know about this year were announced about 3 years ago too.

E3 is an exciting time regardless, and I understand wanting to be excited. But getting too hyped up means more of a chance of being disappointed later.

[trooper_]

That's exactly what I thought.

[Ceaser9857361]

I am always excited about E3 specially SONY but i watch MS too and see what they bring to the table apart from Services... Sony has shown whats coming on PS4 .. So i am excited to watch LOU 2 first gameplay reveal, Spiderman Release date reveal, Ghost of tsushima first gameplay reveal.. Days gone new gameplay and DS 1st gameplay reveal.. Sony has everything setup.... Got to see how MS does with Xbox at E3...

[Cyborgg]

Lmao 😁

[Eonjay]

So over the years I have expected hype from them. At this point that's it. There is nothing to look forward to. I don't even own an Xbox there is no way I'm gonna be more excited for it until they give us a reason. What would it take? An exciting new game. Many of them.

[mark_parch]

it's took me 4 years but i've started to learn that if you get hyped for microsoft e3 your just going to be disappointed. last year they showed some great games like the last night, ashen, anthem, assassins creed origins and metro but they are all multiplats the only console exclusives they showed that looked good were state of decay 2 and ori the will of the wisps. i'm sick of all this world premier console launch exclusive bollocks

[Chevalier]

Oh god I forgot about the 'exclusive worldwide reveal' trailers. You know its bad when all you got is exclusive reveals. Lol. That wording then the rabbid group suggesting they're all exclusives never to hit other platforms.

[DigitalRaptor]

They've been quiet so it's gonna be killer? That's an odd take away.

Here's what to expect:
- Halo 6
- a new Forza Horizon game
- some feature announcements
- release dates
- and a whole bunch of timed-exclusives.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[cell989]

There’s also those awkward actors they hire to do their presentations. You know, the ones that don’t know much about gaming. Also their classic “in game footage” only to later reveal it was running on PC lol.

[The_Jackel]

like the ones for sea of theives that they said were randoms they picked for the.demo of it

[Sharky231]

I loved when they had the play by play guy come out last year! It was so bad!!

[rainslacker]

Its funny, because of all the console makers, MS is the one that seems to talk the most.

[rainslacker]

Only if you're not doing well.

[badz149]

The weakest bark the loudest

[Dragonscale]

Theres an old saying, the emptiest tin is the loudest.

[Yohshida]

oh you will be surprised

[UCForce]

Know MS track record, I don’t think so.

[Yohshida]

We will have to wait till E3 to see who is right

[Dragonscale]

Judging by the last few e3's we already know.

[DigitalRaptor]

Well that was more or less the extent of their E3 presentation last year, aside from demonstrations of third-party multiplatform games and details of new hardware (which they won't have this year). I don't think a new Halo game being announced is a small affair. My list adds up.

It's funny, there's always at least one Xbox fan on N4G that pretends to be in the know about Microsoft's E3.

You seem to be this year's candidate.

[Yohshida]

in the know < basic working brain

[DigitalRaptor]

"in the know < basic working brain"

Care to elaborate?

[Yohshida]

They showed crackdown, sot, state of decay etc off for like 2000 E3 shows. Now they cant, so they have to show new stuff.

Sony will show Spiderman, Last of us, Days gone, Death Stranding, Dreams and many more... again.

[Lime123]

I hope that Microsoft has something to compete with:

1. Yakuza 6 - 17.4.2018.
2. God of War - 20.4.2018.
3. Detroit: Become Human - 25.5.2018.
4. Yakuza Kiwami 2 - 28.8.2018.
5. Dragon Quest XI - 4.9.2018.
6. Spider-Man - 2018.
7. Dreams -- 2018.
8. MediEvil - 2018.
9. Concrete Genie - 2018.
10. Days Gone - 2019.
11. Shenmue III - 2019.
12. Final Fantasy VII Remake - 2019.
13. Death Stranding - 2019.
14. The Last of Us Part II - 2019.
15. Ghost of Tsushima - 2019.

[Dragonscale]

Don't forget crackdown lol.

[corroios]

because this E3 they gonna show trailer of halo, Forza and Gears....

[DreadGara]

Lol perhaps.....

Nah, it's all about click's.

[chaos-emeralds]

I guess they will bring vr and many of their long stagnant franchises back. Put money on it.

[FinalFantasyFanatic]

I'm surprised they haven't come up with their own vr solution at this point.

[ocelot07]

They do it's called Windows Mixed Reality. Available on PC and are pretty damn good. But they all.have 1440p screens. I think the og Xbox one is not powerful enough for it.

[ShadowWolf712]

We get one of these every year in the months leading up to E3 from an alleged "PlayStation Fan". We'll get another after declaring "why this PlayStation fan thinks Microsoft won E3"

[343_Guilty_Spark]

As an Xbox fan I have no faith MS will deliver anything worthwhile aside from the games from the Holy Trinity

[Minute Man 721]

It could be the fact that the OG Xbox exclusives didn't really sell except Halo but that shouldn't be the reason for mot investing in exclusive IPs

[NXFather]

Life has it's surprises. New things do come eventually even if it takes several years and this is word from a Playstation prefered person.

[Urzusix]

To be honest Microsoft and Xbox haven't earned this kinda trust. Most of their 1st part studios have been slowly falling apart losing staff after years of producing the same content. All they seem to be able to do is buy content for a set amount of time. Sony is doing the same but at least that have a massive portfolio of 1st party games

[Tross]

Because that's where they'll announce a good portion of the multiplats we can enjoy on our PS4s? That's probably the main reason why I follow their E3 announcements. I don't generally tune into their conference though.

[ILostMyMind]

That's what I said after MS's E3 last year: Thanks MS, for showing me what I'm going to play on my PS4.

[sazselesbon]

Heresy!! Bring the torches!!

[MorpheusX]

@sazselesbon

Lmao. too funny.

[InKnight7s]

How can I be exciting about some console that didn't show any official numbers of sales, since ever?

[bolimekurac]

how does the sale of any product change your enjoyment of your video games, do you care how many of your tv's have been sold, do you need to know how many refrigirators that you own where sold by the company. do you check to see how many models of the pc setup you have , have been sold.??

[InKnight7s]

At least knowing something other than there is no exclusives :)

[ILostMyMind]

If your TV sells more, you won't get more TV shows because of that. If your refrigerator sells more, you won't receive any more ice cubes from it. If your PC setup sells more, you won't get better results in benchmark. But if your console sells more, you'll enjoy more and better games. You pay for it by buying a console promoted by the corporate ads. I don't like being cheated and I don't think you like it either. So if I'm going to invest in a console, I'd like to know how it's going and what I can expect from it in the future.

[KickSpinFilter]

It's a little different with a TV or refrigerator compared to a console.
Selling more consoles over another helps with developers perhaps choosing one system over another to develop for, or making DLC deals first to console continue or include. Plus taking risks in smaller genres etc.
One TV over another TV is not going to get you anymore programs than the other. That's the difference.

[Kavorklestein]

Good to see that you only care about sales.
You should care more about the lack of exclusives... but alas, here we are.

I bet your shares in Xbox division are doing horribly.

[BlackTar187]

Sales of a console are very important though.

[bolimekurac]

yeah i believe ms will have some mind blowing stuff but sony will have their games as well . its going to be a great e3, nintendo should have some big hitters obviously so every one wins

[Skuletor]

Except our wallets.

[NXFather]

I actually believe so also. I think it will feel kind of miraculous to see them do well.

[rainslacker]

It's kind of sad that Sony admitted to holding back their show last year. I suspect that was due to the utterly pitiful showing that MS had. I base this on the fact that Sony reinforced it's own 1st party support and how they define exclusives. If they held back last year, and haven't shown anything since, but to talk about the already known stuff, I can't imagine what they'll have this year after some of their bigger games will be out of the way. Things like GOW and Detroit will already be released, so that clears up about 10-15 minutes of time to show other stuff. I suspect some more of TLOU2 and Ghosts, hopefully Dreams and FF7R. Other than that, I look forward to a new game announcement.

OTOH, We PS fans can truly hope for MS to knock it out of the park, because then maybe Sony won't hold back again. I want them to top the one they had two years ago.

[bolimekurac]

exactly, while we bicker like idiots back and fourth the reality is they both need to do well so they both continue to push each other to do more and we benefit. i relly think sony will have some big gems this year and i think ms has some big guns planned as well and you cant count nintendo out, they have a lineup of games they can drop on people all year

[mark_parch]

sony's should be epic. i'm predicting final fantasy 7 gameplay, the last of us 2 gameplay, ghosts of tsushima gameplay, death stranding gameplay, dreams gameplay, spiderman gameplay, days gone gameplay, one new exclusive ip and an old remaster
xbox i'm predicting crackdown 3 multiplayer, forza horizon 4, halo 6 teaser and loads of multiplats

[AnubisG]

Because you are not a Playstation fan. That is why.

[OffRoadKing]

Aww man you saw through the propaganda.

[AnubisG]

It wasn't easy. This journalist is very cunning. He claims to be a PS fan throwing most people off from thinking he is not in reality. A true double agent. 😁

[UCForce]

Well done. That will show him.

[Nyxus]

Can't say I feel the same way.

[TheOttomatic91]

I'm always excited for E3 but MS always has me sceptical even if they have a great presser (like last year) due ti their reliance on GaaS and Microtransactions.

[OffRoadKing]

lol, sure.

[neutralgamer1992]

if you like more online focused GAAS type console than its xbox one but if you like more story driven/RPG/open world type games than ps4 or switch. It's gamers like this author who have messed up MS so much by praising the BS. This is gaming and your console has to offer exclusives otherwise what's stopping someone from buying the same game on ps4,switch or pc?

it's astonishing that after more than 14 years being in this business MS still doesn't understand the very basic concept of success

https://www.youtube.com/wat...

it's truly sad that a console leader last en will finish a distant 3rd and have no hope moving forward. Gaming trends come and go what alway has matter and will matter are the exclusives that make your platform must own. Xbox defense force can say and give any excuse but numbers don't lie

xbox one is so far behind ps4 that they are ashamed to release sale numbers
halo as an IP is no longer the IT must have game
gears IP isn't what it use to be
SOT has been below average to say the least
crackdown looks so average that they are scared to show it
state of decay 2 is one game with potential but it's getting that budget game look/treatment
Fable is dead
no hope for perfect dark

seriously MS has all the money yet doesn't own many talented development studios that can produce on consistent bases

This is coming from someone who bought a xbox over ps2 and we are talking about a time MS actually wanted to establish itself and compete. On average original xbox had over 10 exclusives per year. It had the western games but it had Japanese RPG's like bluedragon. My comment isn't to hate on xbox brand, i want the old xbox brand to be brought back which knew games matter and were more than willing to take risks. It's coming to an point where switch will pass xbox one in sales

phil:

go to japan make some deals with smaller studios
acquire a publisher with decent list of Ip's
invest in smaller studios around the world and provide them with freedom

these things won't benefit xbox one but by the time next xbox is gonna be release ms will have countless games ready to launch and others which will be launching within first 18-24 months of new console

it's not rocket science, don't make it complicated and don't listen to the dudebro xbox gamers who know nothing better than to think halo is the bestest and destiny is GOTY. Listen to those who have been gamers for long logn time and have seen companies come and go

games matter

backward compatibility is nice
EA access is nice
gamepass is nice

all these things should add up to make an amazing console but they can't be the IT features or must have features. Games are 1st priority everything else is nice to ave but not must have

and rest some IP's too way too many forza games

i know nothing will change on this trend xbox brand will keep being the small part of huge gaming community while sony,nintendo and pc gamers will demand more and get more

no man sky sucked at launch and anyone who was defending it was a fanboy and now SOT sucks just as bad and was just as over hyped admit it. Admitting is the 1st step in demanding more for our money

best thing about SOT are the water physics

GAAS

gamers
are
astonishingly
stupid

[rainslacker]

I agree with a lot of what you say, but I will say that I don't think that gamers are stupid. I think they become complacent though, particularly when it comes to console preference. But I also believe that some of them actually don't have a problem with what's being offered. There are lots of different tastes out there, and most of the money comes from those that aren't as vocal as we may be. We may spend more than average than the average gamer, but we aren't the end all be all of gaming. Sadly though, for us at least, the things we tend to dislike, aren't as problematic for the average gamer. It's just people have different wants from their gaming.

[ILostMyMind]

Good speech, except for MS not be the leader in the last generation. To be correct, they were in the last position ... again.

[neutralgamer1992]

yeah but they were the first HD console out and led ps3 in overall sales throughout the gen(before ps3 catching/surpassing the xbox360) You can't go from there to be now too ashamed of releasing sales numbers

[Bobafret]

I go into e3 with expectations set to low.

[FinalFantasyFanatic]

I expect nothing, unlike the 360, the Xone has had very little to excite me, although they have hired alot of floor space this year. So maybe it'll be different for once.

[Youngindy21]

Wish they'd announce a Xbox One X price cut. 500 bucks is expensive and is one of the reasons I went with a PS4 Pro over the One X.

[Pantz]

It's going to be HUGE this year.

[LordCheezus]

I am not excited for more sequels, I would hate to see another gears of war or a halo or forza for that matter, saying that it would be nice if they revealed a load of new games, whether that happens remains to be seen. They definately need to sort their shit out quickly because the memories of this generation will effect how people purchase next generation, so to future proof themselves they really do need to get that cheque book out and start buying up studios and pumping out games.

[mark_parch]

that's what i'm worried about. i think microsoft have gave up on this generation and are just preparing for the next but they have to start to turn things around before that or nobody will buy the next xbox no matter how good it is

[firelogic]

We're approaching year 5 for the xbox. Anything big they announce now won't be out for another 2 years. Sony's first party studios have revealed their last games for this generation. God of War, Last of Us 2, Ghost of Tsushima, and Horizon/Gran Turismo (last year). Those studios won't be making any more PS4 games. They'll be working on PS5 titles.

I'd have to imagine that Microsoft's studios are looking ahead too now after forfeiting this gen. It wouldn't make sense for MS to announce anything "big" for current gen that no one will buy. Generating goodwill? People have short memories. If MS makes the right moves next go-round, people will flock to it just like they did with the 360.

This E3 won't be big for MS. That said, it won't be big for Sony either. We know what's coming down the pipe. They don't have anything significant to announce either. Well, outside of showing off FFVII:Remake and Shenmue 3.

[DigitalRaptor]

I wouldn't be so confident of Sony or Microsoft having nothing big to show.

Halo 6 reveal will be talk of the town, and they'll certainly announce Forza Horizon 4 which always gets positive reception. Halo 6 can be announced in June and released in 2019. Horizon 4 will be announced and released THIS YEAR. The rest of the big stuff they could announce won't arrive until next-gen though.

Sony will have at least one more exclusive to announce even given they've announced most of their lineup for the rest of this generation. Even gameplay of The Last of Us Part II will be absolutely huge. Devil May Cry V being announced as exclusive to PS4 would be a monstrous announcement.

[Godmars290]

Yeah, you got me.

Got a thing for watching train-wrecks...

[Xenophon_York]

Because the "PlayStation Fan" wanted to write a seemingly unlikely article for it's 'click appeal.'

Never ceases to amaze me how many individuals resort to being disingenuous just to get attention.

[ImportGamer3004]

Microsoft has yet to prove any worthwhile results, just another year of E3 and supposed "Console Exclusives" that're confirmed as multiplatform games.

[knickstr]

Dang, I lost my own bet. I was predicting a gaming bolt article.

[Muigi]

When I said this needs to be big E3 for xbox( which ive said multiple times) I get disagrees when im literally stating facts.

[bluefox755]

Lol, must be really gullible. I can't imagine that even Xbox fans have very high expectations at this point.

[mark_parch]

i'm an xbox fan and i'm not expecting much there's no way they will announce more than one new AAA console exclusive other than halo and forza

[sampsonon]

because they always deliver? lol

[ThePenetrator]

I'm not

[Yohshida]

If you think about it. They havent announced anything besides Ori 2 that is coming beyond the first half of 2018. Yep they will show games. A lot of studios they recently made exclusives with are silent aswell. Could be fun

[mark_parch]

that could mean they have loads of unannounced games to show or it could be they don't have anything to show. i remember last year thinking all we know about is sot, crackdown 3 and sod2 and those games have been in development for ages so they must have loads of new games to show. i was obviously disappointed and my most anticipated game crackdown 3 looked shit

[Exvalos]

We really doing the wait till e3 thing again?

[shuvam09]

Yeah me too!!!
A lot of them gonna be multiplat...
I don't ever miss a conference just bcoz I'm a PS fan...
Great games are always great...
Besides, I also own a PC :P

[Vanfernal]

I'm actually really excited for this year too! I think the ColecoVision is making a massive comeback! Those guys have been silent for about 35 years!

[Razzer]

"However, given Microsoft's recent silence, and the lack of new games being announced by them, I have a sneaking suspicion this years E3 could actually pan out."

That is what I thought last year.

[Markusb33]

Wow ok what ever floats your boat but don't get your hopes up after SOT. Seems like the writing is on the wall

[Dlaw76]

Yo These guys are hilarious 😂😂😂 since the PlayStation 1 they kept me entertained and when I found n4g.com about 6yrs ago a place where they hang out at

[cooperdnizzle]

Worst article known to man. Man this thing was bad

[BlaqMagiq1]

So you're excited for nothing? That's sad.

[Auron]

Love all the press conferences and nins direct.

[angelusbrz]

nice joke.

[Grimwood]

Couldn't care less for Xbox E3, because there aren't any exclusives. There are a ton of exclusives on PS4. So what the f is this about?

[Kosic]

Tbh we all kinda know what Sony has planned for this year and parts of the next. While Xbox is in the unknown.

I'd be more curious to see what Microsoft pull for the Xbox one. While the ps4. We already know has a solid log of games too come.

[RosweeSon]

I’m excited for Nintendo and Sony interested by Xbox but to think they gonna have a good one this year is probably a bit ambitious they need it but will they do it. Doubtful

[Jayszen]

Microsoft has never been shy about shouting from every rooftop any time they have something to shout about. I remember how the company could not wait to let everyone know what was going on with the 360 last gen. I suspect there is no news because there is no news. They will cobble together an over-hyped presentation at E3 using none in-game scenes running on PC and maybe even show games that either never appear or will arrive 4 odd years after they are announced by which time we should be in the next gen so they will be probably cancelled by then. Can anyone name any new IP this gen or a new game from an existing IP from Microsoft that really wowed the majority of gamers and really pushed gaming forward? I don't think so.

[Dragonscale]

Think someone is gonna be disappointed lol.

[glenn1979]

Im so pump for E3 regardlesssss, i want to see good games overall and no fucking microtransaction and freaking lootboxes is that to much to ask?

[PCgamer98]

If you're a playstation fan then shouldn't you be excited with sony's e3?

[PS3_Noob]

I lol'ed

e3 should be great, I'm more excited for Microsoft conference because they are on their heels and really need to bounce back with new IP's. Sony we know most of their lineup which already looks amazing

[happy2b]

I hav an xbox an honestly I doubt they will hav much to show cause if they had something they would've teased it by now.

[Admiral-Saudi]

They get bored of winning 😂

[Elda]

Right!! LOL!

[Cajun Chicken]

It'd be nice to see some exclusives. Actual IPs. Like Sunset Overdrive, but we know how THAT worked out.

[jznrpg]

Every year we get these fake articles paid by MS to try and sway PS gamers too even think about Xbox. Same old wait for E3 blah blah bleh

[SixFragz]

Lol, sure it's a PlayStation fan that's excited. We all believe that. Completely believable. Not doubted for a second.

[ClanPsi1]

I can't understand this. No Xbox press conference has ever been good. Why would anyone expect this year to be any different? o_O

[DELTABOY04]

when was the last good xbox e3? last gen?

[MarineLineman]

Meh. I’ll watch the Xbox E3 to see what they got, but after their last few E3’s, I’m not holding my breath. With games like GT, God of War, SotC, and Detroit our in the wild by the time E3 happens, the ball will basically be in Sony’s court to announce some serious megatons. Honestly, just being able to see games like Ghost, TLoU2, and Death Stranding in action has already won me over. It’s gonna be good.

I’m much more excited for Xbox’s E3. We already know what’s going to be at Sony’s for the most part which is kinda boring.

[Xavi4K]

Well E3 is like Wrestlemania of Gaming. I'm excited for this one and I beleive that Micorsoft will have a lot to show beside Gears Forza and halo. my bet is on Splintercell with exclusive content for Xbox, Perfect Dark, The new fable ,new Ip and VR for X1X probably support of oculus rift since they have deal with Microsoft while ago.

[Silly gameAr]

That's nice.

[Thomaticus]

I bet they already have a Microsoft has won E3 article ready to go... just need to fill in the names of the games shown.

[Ryuujinjakka]

Cool story, bro.

[BenRC01]

Bought a one X recently after years of PlayStation only gaming and wow. Other than a few PS exclusives the one x is never off.
Halo 6 and Forza H4/8 Will be enough for me.

[Mister_Wolf]

We have been wanting this elusive "Xbox will own E3 this year" for years, it hasn't happened, if anything, they've looked less and less likely to achieve that.

[Nitropants]

Put it this way if Microsoft don't pull it out of the bag this year they may as well give up. The PS4 has had a hell of a year, even if some of the games shown have ended up being years away, they keep the hype train chugging along. In honesty my xbox gets more use due to the sky TV being routed through it so it's much easier to sneak a quick go in here and there and my friends notifications letting the missus know play time is imminent lol.

But this is all wasted if there is nothing to play! I want some first party multiplayer to look forward to. Having played hours of monster hunter I can probably understand the cancellation of certain games, but without titles to replace these it seems Microsoft are far to reliant in third party titles. I for one hope the recent quiet in the Microsoft camp is for good reason!

[AmUnRa]

Yeah shure🙄 , but no, not really, and i am not kidding.

[KillZallthebeast]

To laugh at their games that never release? Or because you got paid to?

[Einhander1971]

Excited to see what Nintendo brings to E3, hopefully Sony will bring more surprises and more PSVR stuff.

[Kumakai]

im excited for both. im really excited for xbox tho because i already know some of what they are announcing and its gonna be a good return to form for them.
