Microsoft Studios |OT3| I thought they were supposed to be sold off by now

I'd fully expect Age of Empires to come to xbox via Play-Anywhere.
The current rumors on that and Warcraft make me wonder about Controller support though.
Would you really release RTS's on Xbox that have no form of controller support?

I think something Gears is a definite. I don't think it's Gears 5 anymore though, thinking we will get Tactics info or gameplay.
depends this is new blizzard. maybe it was Microsoft and relic that remade warcraft 3?
but, I could see it being a *console exclusive.
* meaning consoles that support keyboard and mouse
I feel like there'd have to be a way around it.
Like playing SP on Gamepad isn't an issue and if anything make it to where the user you're grouped up with in MP is by same control type unless you choose other wise.
That wouldn't be suprised for me if it'll be true.
Microsoft now have a chances to gain some games with exclusivity through M+K capability.

I mean, that's going to solely depend on the game.
Also a studio acquisition is nice, but given I know about obsidian it would really just be a like, oh well that's cool I guess. Glad we have confirmation.
Idk. I'm just having a hard time getting hyped about one game that may not even be for me.
At an E3 with multiple games, there's a good chance something will be exciting for me personally.
WELL THEN THAT'S A DIFFERENT STORY.
Truth be told, knowing Sunset Overdrive is coming to PC is enough that I feel like I can take something positive away from this. I'm just hoping for something hype worthy.
No. Blizzard Classic is doing the remaster. They have been working on it for one year now. It will have full compatibillity with the original. Hence it running on an engine from 2001. No way it's coming to Xbox.
Same team as SC:Remastered.
I think we are going to see a set of games getting announced along with the keyboard and mouse that will only work with the keyboard and mouse.
the controller will only be able to select the guide button
Titles on the Xbox Store with only M&KB support sounds like a nightmare if there isn't a obvious banner. Guitar Hero and Rock Band are the only titles I can think of with such a use and technically, you can still play those if you want to sing only.
Have not played it but I am interested.
I will certainly be interested to see what we see. Just not "hyped." .idk :/
Sunset will be nice IMO. Especially if it is a combo xbox enhancement announcement
Completely feel that. Very unnerved by the lack of hype surrounding the event.
While I'm not expecting E3-2, I'm hoping for a good output from MS that really shows things turning around for whatever someone feels they need to work on.
I personally, will be bummed over a show that is heavily focused on updates for already released games and the like. New reveals of any sort are what i'm most interested in.
They need to do a promotion with Burger King to let their twitter accounts work their magic.
They should hire same marketing team to advertise whole Xbox. They're doing great job!
Imagine Jerry with new "Jump In." ad series or Black Friday sales spots :D
Yeah, and given the amount of updates like, that's plenty they could stretch out over a lot of that hour or two the stream will go. Plus the way they talk about it. Idk. It just seems like, yes there will be new things, but ultimately as a way to spice up a show that just seems like an info dump of nice features and updates and some DLC.
Those games can be played with a controller.
I don't see why they wouldn't allow the use of a controller, even just through allowing players to remap buttons. Even from an accessibility point of view it makes sense. Limit it to offline modes maybe, but it works in Halo Wars or Aven Colony really well.
You can use a keyboard to navigate the dashboard right now. Windows key brings up the guide.
there is a reason traditional pc games don't come to console, its extremely hard and expensive to redesign your game around another control scheme, especially when the results are usually not too great.
Thats what am talking about.
Make the Xbox brand FUN again. Make it self aware. Go over the top like Burger King man or Philly Mascot.
A good Crackdown showing would make this show. And Klobrille has now promised on Twitter that we will be happy with the state of the game come this weekend. Just expect that and you won't be disappointed.
We know this will be an Inside Xbox special but we don't know if there will be changes to format or presentation. I would say to wait and see. With the amount of stuff they've announced they're going to show, I really don't see them doing the traditional 15 minute long developer interviews that we're used to in Inside Xbox.
I think it'll be mainly updates with maybe ninja theory announcing something.
Since the twitter seems to be teasing the contents of the show every day leading up to it.
Will be interesting to see what they list as being part of the show Thursday and Friday. I'm assuming the closer we get the bigger the tease of what might be there.
Like on friday
"World Premiere of an Upcoming Exclusive"

I still expect some of the other games they announced at E3 2018 like Gears Tactics.
Also they haven't shown Battletoads or Minecraft Dungeons gameplay yet and they're both out in 2019. We have Minecraft confirmed which would be a good segue into Dungeons.
Same here.
Right now, I'm mostly invested in their first party efforts thanks to their PC efforts.
Once I feel good about Xbox, I'll probably jump in on the platform.
Because Microsoft in the Mattrick era mismanaged just about all their studios.
They posted 3 bullet points on "7 Days Left", nothing the next day, 3 bullet points on "5 Days Left", nothing the next day and 3 bullet points today.
I think we will get 3 tomorrow and 3 on Friday. However, I do NOT think you will see "World Premiere of an Upcoming Exclusive", I think we will see that there but more than likely they will tease it as "REDACTED GAME" or a cop car emoji with "SPOILER ALERT". That seems like what Xbox marketing would do.
The Xbox Humble Bundle tease Klobrille posted I hope means a rad Xbox bundle revealed at X018
That makes sense. Would be a good way to do it too.

When did Klobrille post anything about an Xbox humble bundle? That would be unprecedented and I don't think Humble Bundle has ever offered Xbox games.
I hope not. I'm just worried that we will get a bunch of interviews that won't say a lot but will take a lot of time.
That 2 hours does not make me hopeful. It's too long for a focused show I feel like. Especially when we know it's going to involve a lot of feature announcements.
Idk. I'm just being pessimistic I guess. I'd like a good show but I think we're going to just get a longer Inside Xbox with a couple bigger announcements.
Oh.... Well then.
That is interesting.
Hopefully this is similar to the PS bundles (If it is that) and it has numerous third party throwing a game or 2 in.
Capcom, Sega, and THQ Nordic would jump in for sure.

Lmao damn you are fast. Well I'm glad you posted it as well. I'm curious as to what they will be announcing.
What if...
We haven't been looking where we should?
I think that has already been posted here but I'll post it for reference.
This exchange seemed a really nice thing but got me thinking at how they tended to buy (in Compulsion Games) or allegedly buy (in Obsidian's case) people that are about to release Gearbox published games.
I know it's bigger than what would be the average aquisition (though they have 2 teams, with 1 formed by AC people formed in 2015)
It's no secret Borderlands was great and sold great too, but that money only last so much and lately they passed through many problems and had unfortunately undersold, in some cases severely.
Randy Pitchford is a great game maker that lacks ressources and have 3D Realms and Bethesda people, he can do it if afforded to just care for making a great game. (+ they have another team!)
Bonus points if maybe Todd Howard might consider might feel like doing something new hahaha
The dream would be both Randy and Todd each with 200 devs and let them go crazy and release what they feel like in Game Pass for all of us to enjoy hahaha

Even if HB will be limited to USA, Xbox doesn't make problems with changing regions at least.
Would be arguably superior to the PS bundles because those were US only. Xbox game codes are region free on all accounts.
Yeah, I mean, if Spencer didn't think more time would make a difference then they would just cut their losses and release the game. It's a good sign that the leadership of Xbox believe in Crackdown 3's potential.
This is crazy talk. Gearbox publishes games and we already know (as it's been leaked extensively over and over again) that Borderlands 3 is in development.
