I think they showed enough Fable Legends already, I don't expect to see it at their press even again.  Tomb Raider is a given though, and probably the others on that list.  Much more interested in what surprises they have, they've been hinting at quite a lot of exclusives this time around.

Not showing a game the year it launches? Only if they've gone completely mad and want to give away easy press.

After playing Fable Legends this weekend, I would say don't bother dedicating much if any time to this F2P game. It looks great, plays fine, but it aint nothing to write home about. It's a rinse and repeat game sadly.

You don't have to give it any real time on stage, everyone knows about it, they've shown it off this year, at least twice, maybe 3 times, to date.  I think fans get the idea already, besides if you have other new things to show off that'd be better time spent.  Toss it up on some video with a list of other things and be done with it.

I'm sure Fable Legends will get a few minutes air time, but any more than that would be a waste of time.

Gears of War 4 is certain enough to make it to the list? I know MS has re-secured the rights and a "project is being worked on" but could that not be a HD remake?

 

I just don't want to get my hopes up

I thought they they were doing both (an HD remake of the first three and a separate fourth).

I am interested in seeing Microsoft Solitaire Collection as a universal app running on Xbox One. They can pretty much drop the mic after they demo that.

I didn't know anything was official, I'm happy with a remake of one-three and then a fourth game

There was that whole story about leaked videos of a HD remake for the first game on XB1 and then people getting banned for breaking the NDA.   But that wasn't done by Black Tusk, it was reported through some other studio was handling it, like how they did the Halo HD, it wasn't done through 343i, other studios did HD updates to Halo 1 and 2.

 

I think they're going to do the same thing to Gears they did with Halo, a HD remake for 1-3 and then a new 4th game coming after that.

 

As much as I'm a fan of Gears though, I'd like new titles to, new IP or bringing back other/older IP we haven't seen in years.  Hell, I'd be down for a new Perfect Dark game, I'm a fan of stealth based games, it'd be perfect for some stealthy first person fun.

I know what you mean yeah, I suspect this will end up like Halo MCC. Bought it, played a bit but nowhere near as much as I expected.

Crackdown

please don't suck...I know MS claims to love this franchise but after the second game I can't claim to have faith

Two more Xbox One exclusives skipping E3 2015 for gamescom

If you have enough stuff to show that things have to be moved to Gamescom then I'm down, at least they're going.

With Sony moving to E3 and PSX (Playstation Experience in December), it's a decent move for MS to bulk up Gamescom. It's very close to E3 this year, the reason Sony peddled that they won't be attending. If MS blow their load at E3, it's a long wait till GDC with PSX right in the middle to keep the focus on Sony.

Rumour mill believes Titanfall will be added to EA Access today, which EA / MS / RE said would not happen (per T&Cs).

 

Apparently it can be accessed via Xbox Bing, but has yet to show up via the EA Access app.

[dipsylalapo Supervisor]

I do remember seeing a Tweet from EA Access saying there's something special during E3 for EA Access users so would expect a new game, Titanfall would be another good addition. ##

 

Can't access the link at work but why does adding Titanfall go against the T&Cs?

No idea, they never gave a reason why it was excluded. Probably because it was supposed to be their flagship seller last year and they didn't want to cannibalize sales.

[George P Global Moderator]

Any effect adding titanfall to EA Access now, sales wise, has long sense passed, it makes no sense not to add it after all this time.
