The old "MS leaves everything to the last minute" myth again. I hope we get Alan Wake 2.

Myths usually aren't proven every year. I would have thought after the last 5 years people know M$ dont upset their fans.

But where are these games going to come from? Sony are easy to predict as we know their studios, but that is not the same for M$. They have few first party studios, so you are just hoping rather than anything else

Last year I bought Alan Wake and Fable III and none of those two games came out of nowhere

Many of their fans seemed upset after 2010's Kinect centric E3.

Um what?

2010 saw Alan Wake, Metro 2033, Mass Effect 2, Fable 3 and Halo Reach. Before you even get to Kinects launch.

The only ones so called disappointed were those who wanted to use E3 2010 as a clause as to M$ no longer caring for the hardcore.

I cant wait for this E3. It's gonna be a laugh when people for the 6th year running realise M$ again have a feine exclusive lineup as they do every year.

It'll be the same as before. More than likely I predict the following:

Epic - Gears 3 & Shadow Complex 2 Both out this year.

343 - Will show Halo 4 although wont be out this year.

Crytek - Codename Kingdoms - Definately out this year.

Lionhead - Completely new franchise shown - Not out this year

Turn 10 - Forza 4 fully playable definately out this year.

Rare - Killer Instinct will be here this year. Other 2d fighting games have made it the right time for Rare to do. Not sure on release date.

I also predict 2 more exclusives to be shown and out for christmas this year. Personally I think M$ will bring back Banjo to compete with Mario in the Kinect Wii wars for family at some point. Hopefully they have learnt from the last Banjo sucking. And stick to platforming.

-Upset with E3 not the whole year.

-Or 360 fans with no interest in Kinect were simply let down with Microsoft's offerings. God forbid...

-Right now it looks like 2009 where they saved nearly everything for the end and had nearly nothing for the first 9 months. Bad lineup- no, just a damn lot of waiting for anything good.

I will bet Kingdoms is not coming out this year. If its a graphical beast then it will take time, Forza 3 on the other hand was a racing game.

And 2009 sucked for MS and 2010 E3 was bad so I don't get your "we got great exclusives every year from MS".

My bet is that they will announce 3 core games(non kinect) out of which one will be Halo and will be released this year(because they have a Halo every year), a couple of timed exclusive games and they will show off xbox live and kinect, and new kinect games. Also games like Forza 4, Gears of war 3 and Star wars kinect.

Shadow Complex on E3 is doubtful because I thought it was an XBLA title?

Gears of War 3 is obviously the biggest game, and Shadow Complex will be XBL if Chair haven't been too busy working on Infinity Blade

Crytek - No way is that game out this year, when they announced it, they said they hadn't really done anything, and so it is very unlikely that they can finish it this year

Turn 10 - Yes, though I am not very interested in it anyway

Lionhead - I hope so, I am bored of Fable

Rare - Probably

But that is still not that much

haha Kinect starwars the game million of starwars fans have been waiting for? What a joke... You can't even controll where to go,it will be like the harry potter game where you just swing and swing and swing.The starwars game millions of fan have been waiting for is the the mmo game.

Oh and you think rare are doing 3games? Kinect Sports 2(obviously),Killer instict(maybe but think MS have made them casual studio) and of top of that and banjo game?
