Potentially Big Leaks - Big grain of salt - Discuss with Spoiler Tags

Post 1 - Post 2 - Post 3 - Post 4 - Post 5

Some of this isn't surprising and as he says, It could just be prototypes which never got any further than that also he isn't verified, his only word is that he's leaked stuff in the past but that is believable considering multiple similar leaks have happened because of Microsoft uploading stuff to their API on websites, such as when they leaked their entire E3 and how ReCore/Dead Rising 4 were leaked.

Fable - This isn't surprising, It's been as good as leaked already with all the rumours around Playground's RPG and the comment that the Lightbulb Games employee made, It will obviously be years away though so I can't see them revealing it as this E3.

Perfect Dark - Hmm, I would say this isn't surprising considering we have already heard from former Darkside employees that Microsoft was pitching Perfect Dark years ago, what would be surprising is The Coalition helping out on it, since that would be a change from how Microsoft's main studios operate.

Crackdown - Easy prediction.

Forza Horizon 4: Japan - I'd say this is an easy prediction considering Japan is highly demanded for Horizon, I imagine Playground would be fine with doing it.

AoE - Easy prediction.

Halo 6 - This must be either Warzone 2.0 or a PUBG style mode? Reasonable bets.

MechAssault? - This is the only surprising one Imo.

??? - I don't have a clue what that one means? I guess it could be a new IP?

I think most of them are easy bets and rumored before. Only Perfect Dark is new to me (Cant wait if true)

If Playground is really making Fable then we probably see it 2020 at the earliest unless they use all fable legends assets.

He says Phil likes Mechs, can it just be Mechwarriors 5 on PC?

Europe --> Africa --> Asia --> NA --> SA

But I'm fine with all of them. I'm sure Japan will be a nice setting.

Sea of Thieves, State of Decay and Crackdown would make a tasty 1st half imo.

Only game I've doubted coming in the 1st half is Crackdown, nice to see SoD2 still on track tho

Why is Crackdown gone full-on stealth mode now? Just before their supposed Spring 2018 release, they should be totally advertising their game... I mean we have barely seen any gameplay for Crackdown 3, they've gone silent on their destructible environment claims and the release is 4 months away from what we know.

The same can be said about State of Decay 2, no gameplay was shown at all.

The only game shown front and center right now is Sea of Thieves and has a set date.

Forza Horizon 4 should be set in Asia, we've seen Europe, America, and Australia, so Asia seems like the logical choice, an exotic location.

Also, is there going to be some sort of games event where there could be some possible gameplay showcases? Because when else can Spring games be shown?

Because it looks very average. Imo, they don't have much more to show than what they already showed with all the gameplay videos at E3. But hey, maybe they pull something out of the bag.

Really? I've been pretty confident that Crackdown would either release or be cancelled

SoD2 though.....only a single gameplay video which looked early and rumours that MS forced them to show that gameplay early (But that they've came a long way since then)

Yeah....Idk, Microsoft marketing sucks, don't be surprised if they just release them both randomly  

Undead Labs seems to prefer doing things on their own terms but it still doesn't make sense and I really think that the Cloud destruction will be scaled back in Crackdown 3, I just have a feeling that it didn't work out...

There's no event that Microsoft has announced, sure there's events between now and E3 but they are smaller events which don't gather anywhere near as much attention, they could go full marketing mode on Sea of Thieves which releases in March then have a event in April to showcase Crackdown and State of Decay 2 but they won't

Microsoft's marketing can be good if they really try, Xbox One X's marketing was quite strong, it did work and generated a good amount of hype.

Crackdown 3's, on the other hand, was abysmal, who thought going to comic con and making celebrities, who never have even touched a controller, play a game would be a good publicity stunt, it was terrible and totally backfired. 

State of Decay 2 is totally silent, I mean their twitter still works but nothing game related. 

The release date is too close to start some kind of marketing campaign for the 2 games right now, I kinda think Crackdown 3 will be delayed again or just canceled. They said nothing about the destruction, so it's bound to be an average game since that's all it had going for it. 

And if Microsoft does not have an event for its spring games, they'll sell bad unless the games are like really good, which I highly doubt for Crackdown 3 at least.

State of Decay 2 has the biggest chance of success out of the 3. MS spent way to much time and Money on Crackdown 3s Multiplayer and Cloud tech instead of focusing on the single player and making the game look good, the graphics looks very dated and the animations are weak they should have hired a better studio Insomniac Games would have been great.



smroadkill15 on 04 January 2018

I'm sure once MS has a for sure date for both Crackdown 3 and State of Decay 2, we'll be getting a ton of info. my money is on late January or early February.



TheSting on 04 January 2018

I'm in the minority who didn't think there was anything wrong with the game play I saw from Crackdown.
Each and every one of Microsofts 1st party games have been shat on before they've even released. From my recollection.
