The wait is killing me too but I don't want anything to leak. I've already waited over 350 days.
Lol... Are you surprised?

Yeah it'll probably be something ordinary like a brief cutscene and then Rod Fergusson twerking on stage for 15 minutes
have a demo play while having a small camera in the corner but its just him back stage twerking
Do you know anything about the game? Is it multiplayer or single player?
Aside from Ryan everyone else is a filler in that they cover as much Xbox as any other brand most of the time, so when they sit at a table to discuss very specific content, they are unprepared. I don't know how they could solve it, honestly, unless they hired three of us lol
Yes. But it's not really my place anymore. Just saying it's fairly far off.
I haven't watched a full E3 keynote for years, but I'm looking forward to this one. Sadly I won't be able to watch it live as I got a job interview a few hours later (it will be Monday morning in my timezone)
Man i feel people expecting new acquisitions will be really disappointed, don't think MS is looking for more studios in the near future
i do hope to see some new partnerships, though! Can't wait for next sunday so much hypeeeeeeeee

They're definitely looking for more studios. Whether or not any get announced at E3 is another question though.
First interview question:
"What was your opinion of Microsoft's E3 2019 conference?"
In the long term, sure, in the near future though (1-2 years), i'm not so sure
I'd disagree with that assessment given Phil's statements, but we shall see!
If any of you signed up for FanFest, keep an eye on your emails. A friend of mine received an email earlier with an invite to the briefing. It's briefing only though, so don't expect all of the FanFest stuff like E3 tickets and the like.
To go big as they ever have will include some type of studio language.
Bet on it. The talk about new studios has died down mainly because klob has been away imo. He helped drive that conversation due to his detective skill.
Like others have said prior, we had about 4*? Studios we had no clue about last year. Not even on our radar. Anything can still happen, and it will.
LO2 trailer for 2021 launch. Believe lol

"As big as they ever have" is code for "calm your expectations."
They are definitely looking for them in the near-term much more than after 2 years from now. They are doing this out of necessity. All the companies are about to be buying up these studios (imo), including Google and Tencent. If Sony is about to expand, MS really must expand as well. It's an arms race.
It's pretty safe to say that they are still looking, I am just not confident that they have closed any deals recently. It isn't like you just press a button and an acquisition is done, it's more complex then that.
Expecting multiple acquisitions is setting yourself up for disappointment.

They're definitely working on something else but I doubt it's ready to be announced yet, unless you really want to be blue-balled for the next 3 years.
I expect one. If it doesn't happen, I still won't be disappointed because at the end of the day this is just for entertainment and there are plenty of games still on the way . It's just fun to put out ideas and see where they go.
I'll just slap my knee, yell crickey and move the fuck on lol.

Yikes I got an email with a briefing ticket in it. I could go and 3-day E3 pass for $2k including lodging and airfare from Minneapolis. I'm trying to save money for a big move (to Oahu). I'm old and employed and can swing it. But I have to get away from these winters or I might die. Literally. Severe Seasonal Affect Disorder.
Talk me out of it. Or talk me into it. Decisions are not my forte, but it's soooooo tempting. Helllllpppppp!!

If it's just the briefing and a normal E3 badge with no FanFest, I would pass and try to get into FanFest next year. Especially to go play next gen games.
If you have the time, the money why not? I have been to a ton of E3's and Press Conferences and it is a lot of fun. If you never have been to one, I urge you to go for it.
Lol First two answers - - 1 on each side. UNHELPFUL!
I tried to get a FanFest ticket and didn't win the lottery. If I had both the briefing and FanFest I would do it. I'm a total fanboy.
Already going to Halo Outpost, but that's in Chicago 15 minutes from my childhood home, so cheap and knocks out a visit to the parents as well.

I'm pleased for you, but as you know...this year is shaping up to be one of the worst this generation for me...without question the worst second half.
I'm just curious. How do you know what "other" developers in other companies are doing? Friend chatter, back door access to the main server, espionage? If I work at Rare how could I possibly go on Resetera and say "Age of Empires" isn't coming out until next year. How do you guys know each other's info?
Second half (July-December) thus far for me is Wolfenstein: Youngblood, Remnant: From The Ashes, Astral Chain (Switch), Control, Ghost Recon Breakpoint and Jedi Fallen Order. None of these games interest you at all?
Then, expected games like The Outer Worlds, Biomutant, Gears 5 (which is guaranteed at this point), Doom Eternal, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, Link's Awakening (Switch) and Watch Dogs 3 will most likely have a release date after E3. None of these interest you either?
You should try out more games. Do what I do if need be. Rent via GameFly. And just try out some games. For example, I tried out 2017's Battle Chasers Nightwar before Days Gone which is a turn based RPG with dungeons, crafting, etc. after watching YouTube Gameumentary's on Airship Syndicate which is the independent developer behind the game as well as watching Gunfire Games gameumentary. Not only did I find a damn good turn based RPG with a beautiful art style and graphics but also found Remnant from Gunfire Games which is basically what their original idea was for HUNT: Horrors of the Gilded Age before Crytek shutdown Crytek USA and turned HUNT into an online FPS battle royale or whatever it is. Crytek USA was basically ex-Vigil Games employees and once Crytek USA was shutdown, everyone went their separate ways into two studios - Gunfire Games and Airship Syndicate. The lead artist at Airship Syndicate did a comic series called Battle Chasers like a decade ago and was able to turn it into a game which thus far is pretty good. He also did the art for Fury in Darksiders 3 which I thought was a great game.
Anyway, point being is that you should look into other games, developers, publishers, etc. and see if you come across other games that interest you. Another example is Yakuza. If I didn't look into that series and give a few of them a chance, I wouldn't even bother with Judgment but because I did, I have another game now for 2019.
There's simply so many games that there has to be other games for you to play this year. And in some cases, you may stumble across years past games that interest you. Either way, you can't lose.
For Gears 5, all I want is the release date which is 99.9% certain. I could care less about another gameplay demo. The Gears 4 2016 demo killed my interest for the game for it oddly enough, but I loved my playthrough of the game. I know how Gears plays, I just want it in my hands.
Thats the point, you shouldnt know how Gears 5 plays, Gears 5 wouldn't make sense without changes, this not a sports game or COD, we are talking about a franchise that has shown franchise fattigue for a while now.
We might need a gameplay demo. Rob said that this New one will be doing New things, so I wanna see those New things in action.
The demo from last year looked great to me. It showcased new features and sold me on the game. I wasn't saying that it shouldn't get a demo this year as it will, but I was going to buy the game anyways.
I've always wondered this. I think info gets out through contract workers personally.
Well, maybe i will be proven wrong but i don't really think MS is buying anyone in the near term after these insanely quick acquisitions that happened. We'll see on the 9th!
You clearly want to go but are getting trigger shy. Let me sway you. Pull the trigger friend.
Probably multiplayer in some way. What's the last single player exclusive we've gotten from Xbox? Ori maybe.
Could be, but I don't think so. I have a feeling it will be something else. Can't think of much that they could do with Game Pass that he would consider cool services news.
