Forums - Microsoft Discussion - What will Microsoft's "E3 Megaton" be?

Any guesses?

Every year, Microsoft tries to pull out that one homerun announcement that sets the internet on fire.  You know the drill:  The show is almost over and the host starts to walk away and then.....he pauses.  He turns around and announces Halo 3 or Final Fantasy or Metal Gear or something.  What could they possibly announce this year that would have an impact?  Is there anything left to announce?  In a few days we'll know but in the meantime, it might be fun to try to guess.

My guesses:

  • They bought WCW and ECW (signifying the "Invasion" storyline)
  • Half Life 3 exclusively for Xbox 360
  • Next gen Xbox is coming
  • They purchased Sega, Square, or some other respected third party whose name may not even start with "S"

Then again, I wonder if there's anything that could get us excited in this day and age.  Maybe an Xbox portable (AKA Suicide!)!?



WCW ECW? 



Sig thanks to Saber! :D 

Half life 3 exclusivity?

Hahahahahahahahaha. Gabe will be killed on stage.

I think it will be Halo 4 with master chief. Or FF v 13. Or Nextbox.



What was the megaton last year?  The Crytek deal is the only thing I can think of that might come close.

xbox slim.

 

i dunno, hopefully game related.  MS has quite a few new studios doing who know what - here's hoping something grand!

...or diablo.

Doh!  I totally forgot that was announced at the conference.  Probably because of all the pre-E3 rumors.



microsoft will announce that Final Fantasy Versus 13 will be multiplatform

 

everyone will be blown away and will also act like they had no clue that it was going to happen



Halo 4 on X360 slated for fall 2012 release would be one.

 

Most people think that it will be launch title for NextBox.



Halo 1 remake :P

FFv13 still won't get a release date at E3, but it will be multiplatform.

 

The real Megaton will be Kinect Sports Resort.......
