I think we'll see two things from Rare at E3, maybe 3. A new IP and Battletoads are pretty much a given, though I'm not sure if Battletoads will be outsourced or not. Banjo 3 is also a possibility, though MS could save it for Gamescom. That might be a mistake though, if the Sony rumors are true MS will need every heavy hitter they can get at E3.

Sony rumors?

There's an insider saying they have several money hats this year. Not sure if he's reliable or not since I've never heard of him before, but he was cleared on GAF. The same insider also said that MS has realized that 2nd place doesn't please investors though, so it sounds like MS might be bringing the big guns as well.

So now moneyhats are a good thing? Didn't last year people give a ton of credit to Nintendo for having mainly first party games? I think based off the most likely rumors alone, MSFT has the best chance of showcasing the best games.

Money hats aren't a bad thing, Nintendo example is great... See where they are.

What exactly constitutes "moneyhatting?"

paying third-parties to show up on the stage or paying for exclusive third-party games?

Man...
I feel so left out.
Haven't got into the fable legends beta or into smite alpha.

Once upon a time I had 3 SMITE codes in hand but no one wanted them, ended up giving them on Twitter.

yup, 3...

We already know that Microsoft E3 is 1 party focused so whats the point again ? I dont fucking care for sony.



TiagoCosta on 06 May 2015

Thinking about it.. Did people like Nintendo showing last year? I found it pretty underwhelming, being a direct didn't help.

It was probably the worse Nintendo E3 I ever saw from them.
