Xbox E3 Briefing 2019 will be approximately 2 hour/120 minutes long (via Xbox’s YouTube channel schedule)

Nah, the pseudointellectual "woke" non-gaming side is the Embarrassing section
I think you are overreac...
Nevermind.
I am hoping we will get a glimpse of next generation games towards the end. But perhaps Microsoft has decided of another venue to annouce their future plans...
I've always enjoyed their shows. Excited to learn more about MCC on PC, the next step for Gears (and Halo), backwards compatibility, and hopefully, an expanded support from third-party publishers.
I honestly think they'll go all in at E3, but we'll see. They need to atleast show XCloud, Google is aggressive and will launch Stadia in 2019 so waiting to unveil the next step will only get more people to choose Stadia instead.

My hype cannot be contained. I'm eager to see what they do with this franchise after so many years without it.

NT has a number of small but very efficient teams all handling various projects within the studio, the project Litebrite was referring to could be the one which has been in development for about 5 years or so and since NT joined Xbox 1P they have been on a hiring spree so their dev numbers should be much higher than 100 now.
What would you want? Old-Schoolish beat'em up? Or a fighting game? Or something else?
I'd love to see the beat'em up genre become big again, not highres remasters, I want AAA beat'em ups, awesome graphics, snappy controls but with that new context based animation system as in RDR2, tons of interactivity, etc.
I don't think it will be AAA, but something worthy of what Battletoads was, which is a fun, enjoyable co-op beat-em up. That's at its core, something like what Castle Crashers provided us with back in the XBLA days.
As a baseline start there, expectations in check. We definitely need Xbox LIVE co-op, and it'd be cool to have co-op modes added in, like Horde where players fight against waves of increasingly difficult enemies, or other pve modes. At the very least XBL co-op is a must in 2019. I'm not expecting anything more than a small, enjoyable beat-em up as a first game to bring the franchise back. It'd be cool to have impressive animations as you suggested, but if it's just several frames per attack, then I'll be cool with that too. Environmental attacks would be awesome and context-sensitive attacks would be icing on the cake, especially if they throw weapons in the mix. Also, making each Battletoad feel unique would go a long way imo.
- Rash is like Mario in that he's balanced all around.
- Pimple is the tank who's slower but deals out massive damage. Great for close range.
- Zitz is like Donatello in that he's great with tools and has improved stats with weapons.
- And as an unlockable add a 4th female Battletoad who's completely overpowered and smack-talks the other Toads in-game, providing incentive to replay the game lol.
And so much more. I'd love a variety of weapons and transforming animations. I just want to punch, punch, MEGA FIST PUNCH combo and punch, punch, MEGA KICK WITH SPIKED SHOES combo again. More attacks with their tongues as well, like grab animations or eating -> spitting out enemies, using their tongues for throws, body slams, etc. So much potential, I hope they capitalize on the weirdness that Battletoads was.
2+ hours is pretty long. Sadly I have a feeling there will be a lot of filler to pad that time.
I don't think their thinking was "our show needs to be 2 hours long in order to top last year, so what filler stuff can we add to reach that length", but rather "we have all these exciting things to show, so how long will it take? -- Shiiiit, it might take up to two hours, so we better plan for that".
I think thats exactly what they will do and say, "Here's PG's Fable reboot to showcase next gen and we will see a 2 minute teaser" to close the show.
I so hyped for this, haven't cared about E3 in probably 10+ years.
I would like to see news about Sea Of Thieves and Halo.
Also a surprise like Ryse 2 or Alan Wake 2 would melt me.

Wtf? Joke post?
I doubt it, Microsoft have a impressive studio lineup.
Expect news on services, Halo, Gears & FH dlc plus lots of Xcloud and indy stuff with a clip touching on new console.
What I want is maybe Ryse 2,Hellblade style story games and hints at what games will launch in the first year of Xbox Two.

Control, Resident Evil 2, Black Ops 4, Kingdom Hearts 3, Destiny 2 Forsaken, Nioh 2. So not everything.
Still no Age of Empires...
Last years show was great. So let's hope they get close to that again.

I think the real question is why would we expect the new studios to show anything at all? I think most of us recognize that it's too early for them to show anything. And I don't mind if none of them do (However, there certainly could be things to show - FH4 DLC, Outer Worlds, Bard's Tale/Wasteland, Ninja Theory). My point was merely that MS HASN'T been the publisher blowing reveals early since 2015, when Sony took that crown firmly back. Gameplay or not, if we see it years before release.. it's just a vertical slice demo with no relation to reality. See: Days Gone, Crackdown 3, Scalebound, the infamous KillZone 2. I doubt they would start reaching now when they have more things to show than ever.
This is strange, you'd think gamers would want people to be excited about games. I also always get confused when people accuse MS of paying people to fill their conference. Such ridiculous toxic thinking, and obviously untrue. Look, people get more excited when they hear OTHER people get excited. So no, I want people who are happy to be there and hyped for what's coming. It's freaking awesome to hear the roar when Halo gets announced or DMC 5 pops up or Cyberpunk takes over, for the same reason watching people react on YouTube can be awesome. Either way, it's WAY better than a silent or unenthused conference. I think Sony erred too far in that direction last year, when they had been doing fantastic conferences that were fan-oriented and designed to get cheers and reactions before that.
Hell this is worth it for the stuff we already know about. New stuff is just icing on the cake.
Those people pay for tickets. And their ticket money goes to charity. People can be excited. Cheer up.
Was selfishly hoping it was shorter than last year. After a while of reveals and trailers, all the Inception horns, Indie sizzle reels and demos where they pan to show the pretty environment merge into one for me.
Hoping they pack the first 20 minutes of first party stuff so I can peace out and watch another time lol.

Ultimi anni View era grande. Quindi speriamo ottengono vicino a quello nuovo.

They will def give general specs unless Sony took them by surprise and they hold off to make changes.
Hopefully they do have a ton of great stuff to show but knowing how these things normally go, there could be a lot of filler for that amount of time.
Phil alone has probably a lot of genuine fans. I am one of them. (He also has a lot of haters _because_ he usually delivers on his promises. Naturally that makes a lot of rivaling fanboys upset and uncomfortable which often manifests itself in hateful Twitter slurs.)
I think its more likely to be lots of 3rd party games as well, since they don't have many options now for showing them off.
I mean, do you think there won't be a lot of 3rd party content? Even if you look at conferences over the years, a bulk of it has always been non-first party content. It makes sense when you consider how important 3rd party content is for MS/Sony, and how difficult it would be for all of the big 3 to have a compelling show with only their first party content and the show is ~2 hours long.
That was at Playstation Experience. I want to say PSX 2017.
Honestly, MS conference time is always at a better time for me than Sony's, so having most third party there suits me and keeps it all in one place.
Any Playstation news will still be exciting whenever/wherever it lands.
