3 teams... that's a lot. The scenario running through my head..

So the banjo AAA team will be working on returning 3D platformers, like Banjo, Conker or Kameo. In terms of who is working on these, I suppose they are the old rare guys.

Then we have the smaller scale unity games, like Battletoads or jetpac. Here it could be the some old rare guy supervising with interns doing most work.

Finally the last AAA one working on new stuff, makes sense. On this one I would put the kinect sports team with some recently added talent from elsewhere.

That seems like a good analysis of it really.

I agree with those analysis. Seems like they are going to dedicate a major part of conference to Rare I would love them to do that.

I like the Forza series a lot but I think MS needs to advertise the features of Forza a little better. You can paint and tune your car like no other and the Drivatar system is a welcomed feature that they should expand to other genres.

I still like the idea of 3 year cycle. Forza Motorsport, Forza Horizon, Kart Racer. But that is just me. I love Forza though so i dont mind though. I can genuinely say i think Forza is the best Racing franchise right now

This year's E3 for MS will be great again. I hope they do reveal games before E3 just like they did in 2014 but I would give more spotlight to smaller games than revealing AAA titles.

So this E3 we can expect

Halo 5 campaign reveal
Maybe more Quantum Break
Rare games
Forza 6
Scalebound
Crack Down
Gears of War trailer
Tomb Raider

Well, if we look at what they announced/showed E32013 that was yet to come

Tomb Raider
Halo 5
Scalebound
Phantom Dust
Crackdown
Sunset Overdrive
Quantum Break
Forza Horizons 2
Halo MCC
Ori
Inside
Below
Few indies

Should mean we see a lot of new reveals.

I really REALLY want to hear about Scalebound and Phantom Dust at E3 this year. Other than that im hoping we get 1 or two Rare game announcements. And PLEASE show some of these new Microsoft studios like LXP and Platform Next. I still think one of them are working on Phantom Dust. I think if it was Grounding Inc then it would have been announced by now.

I'm sure we will get new announcements, hopefully some nice surprise.

My bet is.

Halo 5 -  Blow out, release in September so will be few months away
Gears 4 - Trailer, 2016
Crackdown - Trailer and some gameplay, early 2016
Phantom Dust - Trailer, 2016
Scalebound - Trailer, maybe gameplay, early 2016
Forza 6 - Gameplay, October 2015
Quantum Break - Blowout, 2015
Tomb Raider - Will open the show, late 2015
Fable Legends - Gameplay, looks a lot better, releasing in 1/2 months so we'll already have seen a fair amount

Rare - Banjo Threeie trailer AND gameplay, 2015! Battletoads trailer and gameplay
Splinter Cell - Reboot, proper stealth, 2016
LXP - New IP teased
Lift London - Trailer for their game and some gameplay, 2015!
Twisted Pixel - Trailer for new game, 2016

BIG third party bought game, Fallout 4 or something on that scale

New IP from unexpected partnership

If they showed all that it would be huge, but remember theyll also save stuff for Gamescom and youll also have third party games on the showfloor at e3 like Cal of Duty
