Xbox One on the way. DRM removed, more details to come.

Also, read a rumor that there is a Kinect family game with "pixar-like graphics" where you can use the Kinect to put a cartoony version of yourself in the game. The same rumor also mentions a zombie game, possibly Dead Rising 3.
 
I would say that Mirror's Edge 2 will not be exclusive to Xbox One. At least a time exclusive, but not a full Xbox One only game. EA would never do that and the game would make a profit if it did, lets be honest.

I say Mirror's Edge 2 is multiplatform. Maybe timed exclusive at best. Will MS count a timed exclusive as one of the 15 upcoming games, likely.


(took the liberty of taking your list 4thHorseman and expanding on it a bit)
So far:
1. Forza 5
2. Quantum Break (new IP)
3. Ryse (new IP)
4. Crimson Dragon (Kinect game, considered new IP)

Possible/Rumored (I didn't limit myself to the 7 sequels/8 new IP numbers, I just rumored away):

5. Killer Instinct (I hope)
6. Crackdown 3
7. Dance Central 4 (most definitely)
8. Perfect Dark 3
9. Banjo Kazooie 4
10. MechAssault X
11. Blinx: The Time Sweeper 3 (long shot, but I enjoyed these games)
12. Shadow Complex 2
13. Kinect Sports 3
14. Kinectimals 2
16. Halo 2 HD
17. Brute Force 2
18. Azurik 2 (I'm joking!)

I do think MS will just act like if they change the names of any of the above slightly, MS could consider it a new IP just to make it sound cool, when in fact its not. Example, Dark Souls is technically Demons Souls 2, not a new IP, but a new name makes it a new IP. Its debatable.

I do expect 8-10 of the 15 new games to be either Kinect centric or XBLA games only. So about 5-6 new Xbox One full disc based games is what I expect.
 
[quote name='Spybreak8']Hmm they did cancel plans on PDZ 2 because of the Kinect so there is a slight chance they gathered up the trash but I'd be shocked if they did. They were also working on a sequel for Kameo which also got nixed.[/QUOTE]

I didn't know they cancelled PDZ2 but if it was going to be for Kinect then I'm glad. I was just talking with a friend the other day about much I liked Kameo, sucks the sequel was cancelled.

I would also be excited for a Crackdown 3. I played the shit out of 1 but didn't like 2's zombie angle at all.
 
[quote name='4thHorseman']So what does everyone expect these 15 games to be?

Anything else I'm forgetting?[/QUOTE]

I'd imagine they'd at least mention/announce a new Gears of War game even if there's nothing to show given the series' popularity.

A new Fable game is probably likely as well.

I have a hard time getting excited for E3's as I don't really play much but the big first party games like Halo, Gears, Uncharted etc. and the big third party stuff like CoD, Bioshock, Skyrim. I love those types of games, but since I just want more of the same--and know we'll get it on both consoles--I don't really expect to be wowed by anything nor disappointed.

i heard that rare might be making a another game from a classic franchise for a launch title that would be pretty good if its a good classic title and not a kinect only title
 
Wasn't there a rumor about Alan Wake 2?

I'm going to also predict they show off the Pizza Hut app and have a celebrity deliver the food.

My guess: The reveal of the star of Dance Central 4: Justin Bieber :wall:

It's possible an Alan Wake sequel is being developed by another studio but Remedy is the one working on Quantum Conundrum which, by all indications, seems to be a pretty big project.

Remedy is working on Quantum Break. These 15 titles are for "the first year of Xbox One release window", so Alan Wake 2 is years off, unless another studio gets it.
 
You know a lot of people are talking about how now it will be like Steam and it'll be awesome cause there are sales and price drops all the time on Steam. Do we really believe a MS run digital store will be like Steam? I sure as hell don't just look at how games on demand works now. Even Nintendo is better than MS in that category.
 
Killer Instinct is an easy bet to make in regards to Rare. I'd much rather see them go back to Blast Corps or Jet Force Gemini though.

I dunno. The first was an abject failure. There's no reason to think a sequel would do any better. EA would stand to do better selling off the franchise, or at least give MS the exclusive for a big money hat. EA loses nothing while MS assumes all the risk and gets a cult hit for the launch.

My gut wants me to believe MS ponied up for Beyond Good & Evil 2 as well, since Ubi clearly isn't interested in putting it out.
 
Hah you know what would be awesome? If BG&E 2 was scored by Nintendo like Bayonetta 2 was. Ubi definitely supports the Wii U so it wouldn't be totally out of the question.

I hope you're joking. Exclusivity for once multi-platform games is horrible. It alienates the fanbase, and it is likely to dramatically decrease sales. Bayonetta is WiiU exclusive only because Nintendo's support was directly responsible for its release. Without Nintendo, there never would have been a Bayonetta 2.

Well MS said they had a billion for games. I could see them throwing some money at Ubisoft for it. It wouldn't be a huge seller, but the butthurt by fanboys would be amazing. The rage over Bayonetta 2 was fantastic, and actually makes the system worth owning.
 
[quote name='Monsta Mack']The rage over Bayonetta 2 was fantastic, and actually makes the system worth owning.[/QUOTE]

i honestly doubt you look at your WiiU and say to yourself "im so glad i own one because bayonetta 2 pissed off a lot of fans of the series". if you did, you most likely then proceeded to play a ps3/360 because you actually have games to play on those systems.
 
When you had people going 'Nintendo be stealing our games' when Bayonetta 2 was announced as an exclusive, you have to look at the people spouting their shit and realize that they are the problem, not Nintendo. If people who were fans of Bayonetta 1 do not support Bayonetta 2, then they really weren't fans to begin with, because they aren't supporting the franchise "they love" no matter where it goes, assuming the quality is maintained, which I have no doubt that it will.

And assuming Bayonetta 2 was made, it wouldn't be released on PS4/XBone anyway, it would've been PS3/360 because Sega can barely afford to make games at the moment, let alone Next Gen Behemoths. So those "fans" probably wouldn't have shown up anyway, since they would've already moved onto PS4/XBone and those aren't backwards compatible. And no, porting would've cost them a lot more money, which Sega doesn't have.

Half of that money probably went to Activision for timed Call of Doggy dlc.

Well given that BG&E was a pretty big financial flop it could be the same circumstances.

That's a bit extreme. No matter how much someone loves one game/series, it's not worth buying a console just for it.

And that's what a lot of people who loved Bayonetta would have done as there's little chance of the Wii U having many violent, action games like that as exclusives given how few M-rated exclusives Nintendo consoles have had from the N64 on. There's really no reason to buy a Nintendo console other than their first party games, and I would imagine most diehard Bayonetta fans aren't big into Mario et al.

i found that hard to believe about sega, seeing as they just publish alien colonial marines, LOL
 
Bayonetta 2 being wii u is not a issue with most gamers. bayonetta one was decent game but not that great to cry over bayonetta 2 being wii u only game.
 
the thing we should be worried about is that seems like sega might be at end of their spot in gaming. you can tell they are having money issues when they need nintendo to publish their games. i can see nintendo buying out sega sooner or later
 
I could see Microsoft passing on Beyond Good and Evil 2. But I don't think Sony would. They were quite willing to have the High-Definition re-release featured on PSN.

The only way that Beyond Good and Evil 2 would go Wii-U exclusive is if Nintendo agreed to publish it themselves. And Ubisoft is not in the same position as Sega. They can easily afford to push the game themselves.

Well your worth buying is subjective but they've had plenty of games over the years with the old ones being ported or remade for this gen like Jet Set Radio, Streets of Rage, etc.

Sega is the wrong company to hold up as an example for possible XBox One games. This is the same publisher who willingly signed up for Wii-U exclusivity for one of their most promising new franchises. (Bayonetta 2) Also, lets not forget that they were partially responsible for the Colonial Marines debacle.

The sad fact is that Microsoft has not been doing a good job with their first-party exclusive development for the past few years. They let Bungie escape, and are now over-mining some of their best franchises. Halo is near saturation, Alan Wake fell a little flat, and they were foolish enough to close Ensemble. Their best first-party franchise at the moment is Forza. Everything else will be coming to every other platform. (or won't show up on the XBox One at all)

Sony and Nintendo have been doing a much better job of grooming their first-party exclusive studios and maintaining their IP. They are going to have the better exclusive titles for at least the first few years of this console cycle. Microsoft is in a position where they are going to be playing catch-up.

Games are still the most important aspect of these console platforms, and Microsoft is ill-suited for delivering the necessary content.
 
[quote name='Viva Las Vegas']If MS shows a new Mechassault, I'll forgive 50% of all their bullshit.[/QUOTE]

Admittedly a Jade Empire sequel would at least pique my interest, I thought it was a great premise that was just a tad undercooked.

Well that or Mirrors Edge 2, EA should throw a exclusive title the XBox One way. Niche games like Beyond Good and Evil 2 or Mirrors Edge 2 would probably just as well on a single platform.

I think it would help them. During a launch window gamers are looking for anything to play. It's easier to get a modest hit during that first year drought. Look at Dead Rising and Lost Planet(both 360 exclusive). Both are now multi-sequel, multi-platform franchises when both would have been passed over if released later in the life cycle because of all the flaws. Launch window seems like a perfect time to reboot a series like Mirrors Edge or BG&E.

It also makes it more baffling that Nintendo held Pikmin until a crowded fall schedule. It's never going to be a AAA franchise, but WiiU gamers are starved for content and Pikmin probably would have done better during this down time than heading into fall.

I'll agree on the first part of that overall but its because they didn't follow Sony's example and let the genre offerings freely flow. MS seems to have a stick up their ass about offering limited genre offerings when do offer 1st and 2nd party titles. Alan Wake, Mistwalker and Rare titles were a comparative breath of fresh air. Much as sales weren't terrific for some it helps build credibility to MS Studios for people who aren't Haloheads or Gears fanatics. Oh and Forza.
I admit I like Forza. I don't hate Halo but I'd like to see more offered. As far as Gears I might give it a shot one day but the characters don't look endearing. I'm sure if I was like Cliffy B. and liked muscly straight men who talk like idiots I might be more into the characters.

Over-mining Halo? Over-mining God of War? Alan Wake fell flat? Infamous fell flat? Bungie escapes? Insomniac escapes? Closed Ensemble? Where is Last Guardian? Point is it goes both ways.

Just because Xbox doesn't have much first party doesn't mean they don't have exclusives. Dance Central is way better than Just Dance ever was. Rock Band is still alive for Xbox where it is dead on any other system; thanks to RBN support. Timed exclusives gave Xbox owners time to enjoy games/map packs months/years in advance before PS3 users got them. By that time, the hype was dead.

As to the next generation discussion, we should find more about Sony's direction at E3. Just like Microsoft will most likely be showing games this time around. My gut tells me that Sony's vision will align with Microsoft's vision. It is just the nature of the game.

P.S. Most PS3 exclusives don't hold a candle anywhere near Nintendo exclusives.
 
Don't worry - it's just the cool thing to do to bash Microsoft. It will be back to EA bashing soon enough I am sure. ;)
