After? Hope this means the gameplay segment in the actual conference isn't too long.

They said they'd be giving things away digitally via mixer. If anyone wants a beta code for Sea of thieves, you might just get it here. I planned on watching it on YouTube or twitch. Those plans have now been changed!

Ah the infamous day before E3. Lets see what leaks.



So no SoT gameplay on the E3 stage. So maybe a story trailer and them announcing open beta/release date.

MS sure has cleared up alot of time for this E3, and the show has still gone over by 7 minutes.

-Scorpio specs and backwards compatibility info released beforehand
-No VR stuff
-Sea of Thieves demo after the show instead of during it
-Seemingly only a few 3rd party deals this year (though if all leaks/rumors end up being true, they have at least 5)

Trying to keep my expectations low this year, but it seems more and more like MS might just come out swinging with a bunch of new exclusives.

We know for sure they have Assassins Creed and Shadow of War right, so what are the other 3 "rumors" ?

Technically AC Origins is still a rumor, though it's basically guaranteed at this point. The other 3 are Dead Island 2 (rumored in December last year, with the game getting cloud tech from Crackdown 3 supposedly, as both games have Sumo working on them), Project Dylan (Bioware's new Destiny-like IP), and Borderlands 3 (possibly a timed exclusive, though most likely just a marketing deal). 

Yeah they seem like a bit of a far-shot but its deffinitely possible we see some extra third party stuff, Assassins creed not being revealed as well as other info about games LIKE crackdown and forza 7 not being revealed it does seem like Microsoft is aiming for E3 to be the show to reveal everything game wise, exciting stuff.

I'm sure sea of thieves will take place during the conference. They've cleverly worded it to say, "stream premiere". I just think this means that the showing during the conference will be reduced.

Perhaps they'll be showing new features and gameplay we haven't seen before during said screening though. Will be worth tuning in either way.

Well EA's conference just leaked and....

Madden will be shown on Scorpio so I assume that's another marketing deal (Hopefully it isn't in MS Briefing though) and Project Dylan will get a 45 Second Teaser and then be shown tomorrow (Which pretty much confirms MS E3)

Well suprise about the stuff for tomorow and Madden is a big deal in the US so they prefered that over fifa well it looks like in terms of marketing deals Sony still has the edge but Microsoft does have enough stuff that should impress on scorpio.

My body is ready for all the shows it looks to be one of the better years with the switch just released, Scorpio coming and being shown on E3 unlike last years ps4 pro's ackward silence :P

I'm guessing they will have like a 2-3 minute story trailer that advertises the gameplay stream at the end, as opposed to a 6+ minute long on-stage gameplay demo. 

Proberbly better I didn't like their last years showing during e3 of sea of thieves, keep it short, we know what it is we know its coming leave room for the other stuff.

I just hope the extra time this year doesn't just mean showing a game longer as normal to explain the differences between normal XBO, Scorpio in 4k and maybe Scorpio in 1080p versions.

Smart move by MS IMO.
