And all the surprises we don't know about, cos you know they're gonna have some third party exclusives.

Honestly I'm amazed anything in the VG industry remains a secret in the first place xD

Right? Well a lot does leak xD MS is going to have a great E3 this year like last year, glad they stepped it up. Their older E3s  have been cringe worthy lol.

You guys are such spammers xD

12 hours elapsed since my last time on this thread with around 150 posts, nice!

@Poll For me it's Quantum Break. Really hope this doesn't flop in execution and i hope it sells decently.

I think it's unfair to pit other titles against Halo. Almost everybody here loves Chief. That's a given.

Quantum Break is doing pretty darn well against Halo so far, I have to say I'm surprised, it looks good but not Halo good imo. Microsoft may just have a hit on their hands with Quantum Break. I really hope it gets a 90+ metacritic and pulls off at least 3 million in sales, and hopefully Remedy will stay on as a 2nd party dev instead of going 3rd party after QB comes out. 


I'm hoping around 3 million lifetime as well. How much full price though? 600k?

 

If there's a special edition for it, I'll probably pick it up unless it's $300 like Titanfall. Same with Halo.

600k full price sounds about right. I hope it does even better than we're predicting though, I'd love to see Microsoft have another 4m+ seller, especially if Remedy decides to turn it into a series. 


Remedy do a series?

 

Not sure if serious!  They'll sell the Ip off to someone again!!!

Quantum Break is my most hyped exclusive on Xbox.



Goatseye on 27 March 2014

If Quantum Break succeeds it will be a pivotal point in the game development at Xbox, specially at LA Studios.
Coping game development with live action is a very enticing project and it got me curious to experience it.
To me a great game has little to do with CG cinematic. I never got into MGS, Uncharted and TLOU because of little focus on gameplay compared to other blockbusters. If I want a great story mostly I'll read a book (Prayers for the Assassins), great CG animation I'll watch CG movies (Appleseed, Vexille).

Big games on Xbox on the other hand usually set bars for gameplay/ max interactiveness. For example, Halo held the FPS vanguard for a while, Gears innovated the cover shooting mechanic, State of Decay brought zombie games out of the apathy with some action/rpg elements, Shadow Complex side scroll shooter etc...

^Well they do want to do another Alan Wake, so turning Quantum Break into a series is a possibility. I'd love to see Alan Wake 2 followed by Quantum Break 2, both only on Xbox One.


Hopefully they do. Just need the sales. It's looking like the Xbox One's next biggest new IP. I don't think Sunset Overdrive will sell as well, sorry Iceland.

i went with halo i just cant deny my love for that series
