Instant buy for me if it happens, would be cool to get Ni-Oh as well but I doubt it.

In terms of exclusives announced at E3 this year, Microsoft schedule will be like this:

- Forza Horizon 4, third party games and two small projects, Cuphead size games.
- Ori, Gears spin-off and Age of Empire 2 & 3 for the first half of 2019. In addition to few small games.
- Age of Empire 4 for the second half of 2019. I'm expecting two more games that won't be announced on this year E3, Halo 6 and the Cart racer. With the reveal of AoE games, Microsoft will announce that you can use Mouse and Keyboard.


In summary:-
2018 Line-up:
Sea of Thieves
State of Decay
Crackdown
Forza Horizon
Third party game
Two indie games

2019 Line-up:
Ori (February)
Gears (March)
Age of Empires 2 & 3 remaster (May)
Cart Racer (July)
Halo (September)
Age of Empires 4 (October)
3-4 Indie games scattered across the year

2020 where we'll start seeing the effect of Microsoft investment on 1st party studios and hopefully new generation console.

This thread is dead nowadays.

I always enjoy the most anticipated game polls we do, It's also a good activity booster for the Empire as people post their thoughts on their votes each day :)

Who here is getting or downloading State of Decay 2?
Did you play the 1st?

So I got myself Gamepass again to try some games.

Just played a round of PES 2018 and wow the game looks terribly blurry. Konami still can't make this on par with the PS4 version. Only 1360x1080p again (like 2016 and 2017). At least it's X compatible, so once I get one it should look decent in 4k....

I would get SoD II, but I am confident it's just going to sit there gathering bytes... I have a humongous backlog and I haven't even started clearing it up. This is as awful and retarded as it sounds...

New job posting by Microsoft.

- AAAA LOL
- multiplayer experience perfered
- new ip

It’s out of Santa Monica which is very close to where the new Gallagher guy is from. He is almost certainly the head of a new studio now. From this job posting sounds big time. Hopefully will wnd up being a powerhouse team with 400-600 devs. Expect to hear more about it and other investments into gaming at e3... exciting times.

Anyone played Just Cause 3? It's $9 and I feel like pulling the trigger. I believe all the DLC is included. I've never played a JC

It's not awful. I have the same problem and I'm sitting here wondering if I should add to my backlog. I swore off buying games till State of Decay last May. Or whenever Injustice came out. I've beaten 3 or 4 games since then 😢
