About E3 I definitely expect new IPs that we haven't heard of yet... Cause so far nothing has filtered we didn't expect or had seen last E3 already.... Pretty sure people are underestimating the secrecy MS and associates are capable of... Those leakers are either controlled or don't have access to the tasty ones...

So endimion you mean to say retailers like gamefly pay hundred's of dollars for it but why then can simply buy a 60dollar game and give it for renting this happens in my country
Can u explain why will they pay 100dollar for one game or more than that. Please explain me your point..


simply because it is completely illegal to use retail copies for rental.... it is illegal internationally, but some countries (the rising ones) don't enforce those kind of laws yet.... but if you pay attention when you launch the game you usually have a user notice that says this game is for private use and copy or distribution to the public is illegal.... so yeah a company like gamefly doesn't have the choice really....


Ohh i got my answer but then why do developers keep saying used games keep hurting the market(renting games does not count in used games?).

But what studio can or is in a position to be able to do that, Turn 10 will be always on Forza lol, 343 will be way too busy with Halo 5, Lionhead are making a new Ip but have only just started, Black Tusk have been given Gears, Rare are just finishing on KSR and will probably make old Ip's before a new one because everybody wants a Banjo xD Unless the new Ip's come from other studios that aren't owned by Microsoft but MS owns the Ip

Yeah, Microsoft's 1st party seems to be booked solid, except for the smaller studios like Big Park and Soho Productions who aren't likely to make AAA games. I'm sure we'll see new smaller IP's from some of them, but nothing AAA. If Microsoft has any unannounced AAA exclusives they're 3rd party. It's likely that they have at least one unnanounced AAA Japanese IP. Other than that it's hard to tell. Maybe the AAA new IP that Certain Affinity has been making since 2006 between other projects, but that seems unlikely since Certain Affinity is believed to be busy with Halo 2 Anniversary multiplayer right now. Hopefully Microsoft will have at least one other AAA exclusive surprise at E3. I'd love to see them partner with EA for one of those upcoming Star Wars games exclusively, particularly Bioware's Star Wars RPG (since KOTOR was a console exclusive on Xbox).  

Yes he is right but might be some studio working on a new ip or a 2nd party or 3rd party. But I want to see a new ip which is pretty big scale. Rare could be one of them I know phil spencer said rare is not working on any older ips but that might be just pr stuff.

I am even excited for lift london I mean they are working on three titles and said they are free to play and do qualify as aaa titles in their eyes So we need to have watch them.

well because this is just pure conjecture from us.... we have no clue of the size of each studios and the plan MS has for them.... for all we know smaller studios might have been geared up for AAA development.... AAA studios might be bigger or more advanced on projects than we anticipated.... and MS is huge on great 2nd party partnerships.... some of their best IPs came out this way....

for example I don't think 343 is the studio that will do halo 2 anniversary and at that point they probably don't need 400 employes working on Halo 5... rare is pretty much done with KSR, is probably well advanced in their other project and more than likely already in preproduction for a second game if not a third...

Black tusk has gears... but I'm pretty sure MS has plans to grow the studio into a multi team one.... and then you have the smaller ones that  might not be as small as we expect... or are working on more ambitious titles than we think... especially if they have been at work for 2+ years on their projects...

and like I said 2nd party deals with 3rd party studios is where MS excels.... I personnaly have faith.... because if it is just what most of you have named so far... there is no way you could call that a great E3... if it's been shown the past E3 it doesn't count for me.... I ain't a sony fan LOL (jk)

well renting game doesn't count when it is done like gamefly with renting licence sold.... what "hurts" them is second hand from stores like Game stop, GAME or what ever place you can get used games.... amzaon/ebay/craig's list etc....

I understand their position though you can pretty much get a used game cheaper within days of launch which is rather unusual compared to most businesses.... so yeah it would be a first that second hand market gives money back to the producer/devlopper of a product but then again this market is not working like most other markets....

I still dont trust thuway, or really any of those gaf leakers but i really do hope The Last Guardian is coming. Tired of waiting for that game personally. If it turns out bad then im fine, at least i will get the chance to play it.

And hmm, Persona 4 Arena is on sale. Is the story good enough to purchase? MSFT needs to try and get Persona 5 on X360 if they have a chance. Of course this is a long shot lol Honestly though i assume most people who have a X360 prob have a ps3 by this point as well, so id just prefer atlus to announce an english version.

Well they finally put Fable Anniversary up

PosGameWeeklyTotalWeek #
1
Fable Anniversary (X360)
Microsoft Game Studios, Role-Playing
13,610 13,610

1

Only sold 13k in Uk, Week ending 8th Feb, Need to see U.S now

Nevermind U.S is already up xD Didn't even notice on Saturday

2
Fable Anniversary (X360)
Microsoft Game Studios, Role-Playing
79,679 79,679 1

So that's 93k for 8th Feb

Not a bad first week, but not great either. I'm shocked by how low UK is though, with Lionhead being an award winning UK-based studio you'd think that it would have done better in the UK. The game's humor is entirely British afterall. I think they're asking a bit too much for it at $40, once it drops to $20 it should see a big sales boost. Might even hit 2 million copies sold eventually. 


2million is too much for a remastered game. The point is people are shifting to xbox one all those who are fans of fable have played it on original xbox and they don't feel like spending money once again on same game with better graphics and poor frame rate though control scheme was better but frame rate was horrible. The game is going to struggle to reach 1m nobody except few people want to play this game.



My hopes for e3 are show gameplay of yge games coming out this year and show trailers for games coming next year. Rinse and repeate

Yeah I think smaller studios will have allot of stuff going on, if 343 are working on a new Ip it would be around 150 on each game Halo 5 and new Ip which I probably don't think they would do because they would want all resources on Halo 5 (It is after all the most important exclusive for the XB1) 

Phil said Rare aren't working on anything yet untill KSR launches but he could just be lying/keeping things secret, Rare could easily pump out 2 games a year probably =P

Black Tusk still aren't that big though but other 2nd party could be good, Undead Labs is probably working on the new State Of Decay sequel (Probably have been for months =D) Would love a new State Of Decay, Epic Games could do another exclusive lol, would love if Mistwalker was working on something for MS aswell, Need another Lost Odyssey!! but I think E3 could still be great without allot of new Ip's since we know nothing about Sunset, Barely saw anything from Fable Legends, Quantum Break, Halo 2 hasn't been officially announced, Halo 5 - Nothing shown, Forza Horizon 2 hasn't been officially announced ;) Maybe we will see something from Ruffian games new Ip that is being made along with Lift London etc. E3 should be packed this year

343 said they are working on something they we have no clue I cannot find that article because I am lazy. but i remember but that they said they are working on halo tv series,halo on xbox one and something we don't have a clue so might be a new aaa ip .

"Rayman Legends" for Xbox One is now available for download

Sold my Wii U version to play it on the One with (IMO... the better sontroller and cheevos :D)

I think I have a serious problem though, I buy tons of game, but play them MONTHS after I bought them. My backlog keeps growing...

Are you getting Rayman?
