I expect from MS
Forza 3 release date
MGS4
2 new IP's for release this year

 

Microsoft own the Gears IP. So no Gears will never be on the PS3.

 

 

 

No they don't - Epic Games own the IP, not Microsoft. They had a two game publishing deal with Epic Games, which is why Gears 3 could (in theory) appear on the PS3.

Of course, there's pretty much no chance of that happening. There's no way Microsoft would not buy the exclusive rights to the next game too, given how successful the franchise has been.

Nope. Microsoft owns the Gears IP, just like the Halo IP and the Infinte Undiscovery IP.

^ Wow if Age of Empires IV was announced!

That wont happen as Ensemble just closed

Well I hope that MS could foresee that Bruce Shelly and Co would start whining and drop from MS to form their own studios, and MS started a new team already one year ago to develop Age IV in paralell to Ensemble making Halo Wars.

I would bet that kingdom hearts would go for nintendo way before they jump ship to microsoft.

M$ has stated that they are looking to go forward with the series.  I doubt one will be announced this year though.

What about Elder Scrolls 5? Its been a long time since Oblivion. Even just saying its coming would be cool.

 

 I would be the happiest man on earth. But what does it have to do with MS at E3? (and what does Bioshock 2, Modern Warfare2 and other MP games have to do with MS?)

But the next Elder Scrolls won't be announced so soon. Fallout 3 will be just over ½ a year old when E3 takes place, and Bethesda is a lot slower than that with announcing new games.

 

NO....I would

I see the SDF is in full swing in this one.

Hopefully there will be some great MS related stuff at this years E3. With all the hullaballoo about PS3 exclusives, some counter-balance would be nice.

These 2 announcements would be BIG



I mostly play RTS and Moba style games now adays as well as ALOT of benchmarking. I do play other games however such as the witcher 3 and Crysis 3, and recently Ashes of the Singularity. I love gaming on the cutting edge and refuse to accept any compromises. Proud member of the Glorious PC Gaming Master Race. Long Live SHIO!!!!
