Yea, scumbags.
Microsoft is equally dumb for not designing a way to prevent this from happening, it's been done 2-3 E3s in a row now.
It's a compliment if anything. The multiplayer for these games being so engaging that it's easy to overlook that they're among the most feature and content rich games in the industry.
Fuck man, the only thing I can think of is that this is coming from internally which would be awful.
I think ill be going dark as well, to the point where i think i'll Avoid the EZA stream reaction, cos if Bosmans presenting he'll straight up blab about any leaks.
I think someone must have just been recording a rehearsal run or something.
GAAS is about continous content delivery, not if the game has single player or not. A lot of people treat "GAAS" as a derogatory term, but it really doesn't have to be.
Reminds me of how a lot of people used to be against the mere idea of DLC back in the day.
GaaS is not limited to MP. Hitman, The Witcher 3, Skyrim, Rage 2, Hitman 2, etc are all GaaS games in their own way as well, despite being SP. They all featured a stream of free content (of varying sizes) and bigger expansions to pay for, released over a significant amount of time to help foster an audience.
Thanks to brad Sams I'll have to bow out. I didn't mind BE being leaked but if the whole conference is gonna be shown, I'll have to go on blackout
OK that's good to know. It's just that I'm a little picky, hahaha. I am a huge singleplayer gamer and not all that much of a MP fan. Sure I like a match of BF here and there but I'm mostly gaming for the solo experience.
They were against AAA traditional model, I'm sure they still having that philosophy.
Oh, most people know they weren't forced into making an MP game. It's largely subtle console warring.
Listen too hard to the hecklers and you'd think MP games are deeply unpopular.
MP games have been among the biggest drivers of console sales this gen.
I don't think so. Brad Sams is claiming that the leaker is "ripping videos from the keynote".
Videos is plural and from the keynote implies that this is what's actually going to be shown at the conference, so it can't just be some Ninja Theory insider or something.
Let the haters think whatever they want. MS acquired them and gave them creative freedom.. It hurts them so bad that NT isn't making games for their preferred platform anymore.

I think their their studio's design is more a byproduct of necessity and survival, than one developed out of an organically developed philosophy. They were a mid sized studio living contracted AAA project to contracted AAA project, who was one misstep away from potential ruin if continuing on that trajectory. Now that they Microsoft pumping money into the studio to build up personnel, and have access to a consistent big budget - should they want it - I imagine they'll slowly transition back into AAA development as their current smaller projects release.
I think they would prefer to create more games and release more games than spend half of a generation on one big AAA game.
It's probably an influencer or some non-industry person that's part of the presentation and was recording the rehearsal. I don't there's any easy way for Microsoft to figure out who it is, unless someone flat out saw them recording. Al though, if this person leaks the entire conference piece by piece, except for the part that they're on stage during, they'll probably be easier to pick out of a crowd.
This just feels like the Splatoon in many ways for Xbox. Not one particular element, but the overall feel to it being something that is a genre that hasn't been really delved into yet the individual parts like "arena mp" or hack and slash have been explored in many ways.
It has crazy potential and i definitely see it doing well. That's me basing stuff off from what we saw, the potential of a game's success on game pass and just the overall push for mp games that ms has done ever since they entered console gaming.
That's it. Now i'm gonna go to my Sims 4 underground bunker. See ya guys four hours before the conference :D

I wish it was that simple but you know people are gonna say "well that's a multiplayer game no one cares about that Microsoft forced Ninja Theory against their will to make, let them make single player cinematic narrative new IPs not Overwatch clones" and that BS.
Nope now the goal post Will moved. Lol
I probably am bowing out as well even though I am really tempted to stay. I like suprises and I have feeling that we will hear from the leaker again. Have a great E3 everyone.
Definitely get Splatoon/ARMS vibes from what can be seen. I'm into it and I'm all for more games in genres we don't see a lot of.
Days since MS have unveiled a new IP: -3
Days since MS released a new point and click adventure game: infinity
I didn't write this, but I feel the same way
"Imagine Microsoft buys Ninja Theory, sees their passion project & says we're canceling this game. People would destroy MS, Instead they allowed them to finish Bleeding Edge & hiring 100+ more people to work on another IP. Everyone cries for creative freedom but not really, smh."
Feel really bad for Ninja Theory, they make a game they been making for years.....something they actually want to make!! (MS didn't force them) and people crap all over it and spoil it.

I'm more curious why Klobrille cares about leaks. I'm pretty sure the people who worked on the strategy documents he claimed to leak (albeit partially redacted) felt similarly unhappy about it when he put that out. Don't mean to have a go, but that comes off a bit funny.
I don't think I've ever really seen this much empathy for developers when it comes to leaks. Usually it's just other platform warriors gloating about how the enemy's press conference was spoiled as if that matters at all in comparison to the hard work people are doing to put on a show.
Still time for them to cancel it and shut Ninja Theory down before the conference.
I just read the post people are referring to about AOE 2 DE being at the show, and it only specifies that they will be on the show floor, not guarantees that they will be on stage for the conference. So the updated list becomes
- Guaranteed -
- Halo Infinite
- Gears 5
- Ori 2
- Bleeding Edge
- Forza Horizon 4
- Battletoads
- The Outer Worlds
- Wasteland III
- UNKNOWN
- UNKNOWN
- UNKNOWN
- UNKNOWN
- UNKNOWN
- UNKNOWN
- Age of Empires 4
- Age of Empires 2 DE
- Gears Tactics
- Gears POP
- Bards Tale IV
They tweeted from Age of Empires's Twitter account to watch the keynote thought.
Also
I think something for Age of Empires must be on the stage.
