The game is not ready to show.  Its clear if the game was in a state to show or show beyound what they have previewed for the last couple years it probably would be on the show floor.  Hopfully it is shone at gamescon and playable.

That means the game is going to be pushed back because there is not much time left until November to be making these excuses for them. E3 was the time to impress he largest audience and if Microsoft don't move the date of crackdowns release that game is going to be irrelevant to people with the games coming out in its window. They better fix the destruction they showed so long ago and put the cloud power back in that game because with that false hype that's the last chance the franchise has.

Not really.  It could be the devs are head down in getting it ready for release so do not want to be wasting time doing E3 demo which does take away from them getting the game to the finish line.  It's evident they have the game to a certain point but sometimes E3 can just get in the way when you need that time for bug testing, polish and finishing touches on content.
