I could totally see Indiana Jones in first-person. Sort of like Call of the Sea, mostly about solving puzzles, with a sprinkle of gunplay in there, and the whip mechanics from the last DLC of We Happy Few.
From Machine Games? IDK. I feel like Indiana Jones will be this huge, cinematic roller coaster ride, with set-pieces up the wazoo. Kinda like RE8, but less moldy.
My big question for the Indiana Jones game is do they try and get Harrison Fords likeness.
(No point getting him to voice act as he'll phone it in)
Or risk an Avengers type backlash on the characters look.
I almost feel like if you don't do Harrison you actually need to get another big name actor that would be believable as playing them in a film - rather then a fake generic Indy.

Microsoft and Sega have entered into an unprecedented partnership to publish and localize Japanese games for the west, including Xbox and PC. With Segas localization expertise and Microsofts funding and technical assistance.
The first team to benefit from this program will be Level5, with Inazuma Eleven Ares, Yokai Watch 4 and Megaton Musashi ports all announced for Xbox and Steam, launching on Game Pass day one. More to come! (I dug deep for this one, but you wanted craziest)
DmC. That's DmC, not DMC(real talk this is one of my favorite parts of the shows)
Shinji Mikami
I don't really care, but I'm going to say Beyond Good and Evil 2 here just because it'd increase the chances of the game ever coming out.
Mistwalker. Give them security and give Xbox JRPGs. Cherry on top would be the announcement that after part 2 of Fantasian releases on Apple Arcade "Fantasian Complete Edition" will be coming to Xbox, with general QOL improvements, voice acting, and "hand drawn" animated cut scenes.
You asked for dreams, I certainly went with dreams.
Hmm. Okay, let me ask a better question. Who's playing the main protagonist of IJ5, the one doing all the action stunts?
I wonder what the reason is (and if it could be easily fixed) that 360 games can't be streamed from console. There are so many 360 games that lend themselves to that.
Wow she is talented and the location was a good choice for the track, because the sound... I don't actually know the English word, but I guess you know what I mean...
1. Purchases Sega or Rockstar. Outside of that, New Viva Piñata or Reboot Too Human
2. A Japanese developer, Sega or Squenix maybe.
3. No one particularly from TV or Film, maybe Gabe Newell.
4. Realistically some EA game or Rockstar. But 3rd party exclusives are shitty, id rather hear acquisitions or 3rd party for everyone. Dont pussyfoot around.
5. Rockstar
A stunt double for Harrison Ford :D
Phoebe Waller-Bridge, Mads Mikkelsen, and Boyd Holbrook have also been cast.
So I was looking on Twitter, seems Bethesda hasn't tweeted something in 6 days.....
Prepare for Liftoff
(god I hope so)

Any place with exposed concrete will give you that type of reverberation, so a parking garage is one of the best places you could pick!
1. A new Banjo Kazooie
2. PGR
3. No one.
4. Splinter Cell
5. Remedy Entertainment
My guess would be something to do with the licensing, like maybe it counts as a distribution channel so they'd have to sign new contracts or something. I can't imagine it's anything technical that can't be overcome.
I'd like to think if someone approached Ford about being in a video game he'd tell them to fuck off and go back to smoking weed.
Unfortunately it's accurate for the time being. Thankfully in around 2 years they should have a constant stream of releases, and with enough studios producing games that quarterly 1st party releases may not be an unrealistic expectation.
With the amount of studios they have, they ought to be able produce top quality games in all genres. Ideally MP players will have fresh games, and primarily SP players will have a steady stream too.
1. MS acquires WB interactive
2. It's gotta be Halo
3. Kojima announcing a Xbox partnership
4. Elden Ring or GTA 6 for the meltdowns
5. If we're not talking about publishers then Remedy would be my top choice with IOI being a close second.
Since they already worked on a Star Wars game, I continue to think that a Star Wars Game by Ninja Theory featuring Asajj Ventress (dark apprentice of Count Dooku) using Unreal Engine 5 would be a perfect match.
Her story (tragedy, torments, redemption..) fits so well with their storytelling that we've seen in Hellblade. And with their huge focus on combat in Hellblade 2 (it seems), combats with light sabers and Force abilities (if done well as it's something challenging) would be epic.
Dream Star Wars Games We Want And Who Should Make Them
Here are the Star Wars games we most want to see made and the studios we want to handle development.

A bummer, but that sounds about right. I somehow fell into Sonic Adventure 2 and would like to raise my Chao and n the go haha.
1. Partnership with sega on panzer dragoon orta sequel.
2. Killer Instinct
3. Kojima or Hideki Kamiya
4. Something from square
5. Moon Studios
1. Xbox Live Gold is dropped, MP is now free
2. It's probably going to be Halo
3. Danny Devito or Paul Rudd
4. I hate money-hats, but provided the circumstances behind it are tasteful, I'd love a Kotor Remake
5. Platinum by a mile
1. Same as it has been for a long time now: Banjo-Kazooie. It's time for the bear and bird duo to return.
2. He'll be wearing a special shirt to commemorate the 20th anniversary of Xbox.
3. Craig Duncan and/or Gregg Mayles to briefly speak of Rare's legacy and how they are dedicated to keeping their old IP in players' mindsets just as much as they are about creating new IP. Then #1 (Banjo) is shown.
4. This one is tough, but I guess the new Timesplitters.
5. Iron Galaxy so Killer Instinct would more than likely come back again.
Without Drew Murray, it feels The Initiative is extremely silent. Is there anyone apart of that studio that has a consistent social media presence? Would be nice to get a tidbit from them every now and then.
1. 5+ 1st party AAA gameplay presentations at the conference.
2. Banjo-Kazooie
3. Sven Vincke announcing Larian is going to work on KOTOR3 after Baldur's Gate 3
4. Jet Set Radio 3 and Splinter Cell. OG Xbox throwback
5. Not many studios left out there many after Embracer and Tencent scooped up everything in sight. Probably Asobo.
Alright crazy hopes and dreams for MS time:
- Nintendo/MS colab on Banjo Three. Developed by Nintendo comes to switch and Xbox Gamepass. MS gets the rights and Ninja theories second team starts to develop a Dr. Strange game.
- Phil comes out and under the blazer is a shadow run shirt
- Koji Igarashi shows up to talk Bloodstained 2 and...
- Announce the next sequel to Castlevania symphony of the night as an Xbox exclusive.
- Phil announces Capcom is now a part of the Xbox family.
What a cool-looking picture.
My man vicious696 is going to spoil the entire E3 Showcase on the next Xcast.
He certainly has this smile on his face like "I visited Spencer hotel room and seen everything on Spencer's shelf" 😲
1. What is your craziest desires from Microsoft at this E3?
New AAAAA (that's 5 A's !) IP revealed.
"THE FIRST OF THEM": 3rd person story driven action game.
Somewhat reminescent of another popular IP but Sci fi/cyberpunk.
Shooting, stealth, action, psychic powers (think GITS + AKIRA, both in themes and aesthetics). A surrogate brother/sister relationship going on between the main characters, travelling across Neo Japan.
It's an entirely original concept, i swear.
2. What game or logo will be on Phil's t-shirt?
The old Konami logo
3. Who do you want to see at the show that make you super excited? (Director, actor, ...)
Kojima
4. What 3rd party game you want to see as Xbox exclusive?
None, why would I. Ok GTAVI just for the meltdowns.
5. Your dream studio to be acquired?
Some small but talented team that could use MS funding their next project. Can't think of anyone specifically right now.

I would still say there's a 90% chance is was a casual, social dinner because he was in town. I mean, I'm sure they talked games somewhat, but Parris, Aaron and, Phil seem friendly, so I don't think it it's outlandish that they'd get together without an "event".
Jeff Grubb is live on Twitch with the Game Mess show talking about Halo. Kind of spicy stuff.
- Microsoft seems interested in catering to "Halo-ass Halo fans". He thinks non-fans will just see it as "more Halo" and thus he's worried the reception might be bad.
- He expects E3 to be multiplayer-focused.
- If they do new multiplayer modes like Battle Royal, that'll probably be down the road, this will probably be things Halo fans know and love like Capture the Flag at launch.
- Doesn't expect a huge, long deep dive into Halo at E3. They're busy finishing the game, not E3 assets, which take a lot of time away from development.
What I expect personally as well.
We've had 3/4 glimpses and peeks at SP now, they may as well let the other stuff campaign offers go undiscovered until launch.
Let's see some improvements/changes to MP, maybe how the co-op campaign and F2P element functions etc.
He also said Battlefield will be at the Xbox E3 show (but also will probably get its own thing).
Took them two mainline games to realize this is the best way to approach Halo, but yep, this is exactly what Halo Infinite should be (and will be) to begin with.
I had thought E3 would be the campaign re-reveal and not multi-player focused though, your thoughts?
I think the days of Halo being in the position it was in 2004 is just impossible these days. Nothing is in that spot except GTA, Minecraft, Animal Crossing, CoD, and Fortnite. It's a different market now. And that's ok.
Good. Established games should worry about galvanising their fanbase rather than watering down the product. Especially if this is a long tail release which needs engagement constantly
