Stupid question but is there anything going on right now or why do we get such high profile announcements?

Its always wierd when so many things get announced at once. You would think that companies would try to isolate their announcements from others (besides E3).

Reminds me when RDR2 and Switch were announced on the same day.



Bet with Intrinsic:

The Switch will outsell 3DS (based on VGchartz numbers), according to me, while Intrinsic thinks the opposite will hold true. One month avatar control for the loser's avatar.

I was wondering the same thing.

MS might be showing a Gears spinoff at E3.

In many cases they'd have no idea other companies are about to make similarly high-profile announcements. They'd have entire comms strategies and advertising budgets committed to their own announcements and timelines, and something pretty extraordinary would have to happen for them to back out of those plans last minute I'd imagine.

Sure looks like Shinobi just hinted at a Gears of War spinoff in the Microsoft Studios thread over on ResetEra, here is the exchange but he's since deleted his second comment.

Did I say Gears 5?

https://www.resetera.com/threads/microsoft-studios-partners-current-and-future-landscape.1061/page-212

I called it when I saw Splash Damage were hiring for story potions of Gears, I just couldn't see them working on the story portion for Gears of War 5.

So it sounds like spinoff from splash damage before gears 5. That would give coalition time to innovate and really push gears 5 while potentially helping on other projects(perfect dark?!). That being said I’d much rather have a halo spinoff than a gears one. 

 

This is is my hope for halo/ gears release schedule.

if Halo spinoff is real

Sep. 2018- halo spinoff 

april 2019 gears spinoff from splash damage

october 2020- gears 5(cross gen)

sep 2021 halo 6

i figure that if a halo spinoff is real that 6 would have to release after gears5 because 343 looks to be making theirs while splash damage is doing the gears one.



Halo MCC will sell 5+ million copies(including digital)

halo 5 will sell 10 million copies(including digital)

x1 will pass ps4 in USA, and UK.

Crash Bandicoot™ N. Sane Trilogy comes to new platforms on July 10!

Sweet :D I hope it gets Xbox One X support

If Amazon has final box art then yes, the game will get Xbox One X support as well as HDR and 4K. Which is interesting because it was only 1440p on PS4Pro



 

If we are getting a Gears spinoff I just hope that it's different than the main series i don't want Gears 4.5, would not be surprised if it has a battle royal mode.



Xbox getting Crash confirms that we are getting Spyro Trilogy and the New Crash game Activision is working, even if we don't get it at launch.



I hope that Halo gets a spinoff and they postpone both Halo 6 and Gears 5, want to see the Coalition and 343 work on other projects.

Just a few sale numbers for Forza in UK.

2017:

Forza Motorsport 7 - 267,981
Forza Horizon 3 - 400,118.

Which apparently brings Forza Horizon 3's LT sales in UK to 800k-ish.

Damn FH3 will be a 1 million in the UK soon. If FH4 is as good as 3 then it will be a 1 million seller in the UK in about six months :)
