So I was wondering having witnessed the past few E3s, what exactly are people expecting from Microsoft this E3?

I will be very honest, I'm not expecting much in the name of core gaming. Last year Microsoft had the worst E3 out of the big 3 with all kinds of crazy antics like kids and even GROWN men jumping around the stage causing unbelievable amount of headaches and migranes. It was a pain to witness such an abomination. The year before was not much better with random stuff like video chat and children getting molested my tigers and all sorts of mindrape.

Now I'm not one to hate and I love the capabilities of that kinect has to offer and the general direction MS has been going with the Xbox to make it into an entertainment hub, but they really don't seem to have done anything that has excited the hardcore audience from a first party perspective. But if we were to summarise we will definitely see Halo 4, Fable Journeys and Forza Horizon as big exclusives. We might also see from the Kinect side of things Ryse (if it actually hasn't moved on to next gen as rumours suggest), Steel Batallion and Project Draco.

But besides these all I think we will see more multimedia features and maybe new kinect games for the young ones. And especially after MS has declared there will be no nextbox at E3, I'm not expecting much and I guess it makes sense for MS to use most of their resources on the nextbox and keep the 360 momentum going with big 3rd party titles like COD, Assasin's Creed, etc. To me next year is when the MS E3 will be huge.

So what do you guys think? Are there going to be anything new and crazy from MS or is it going to be along the same lines as last year's E3?
