Not really - they've been way less anal about sticking close to 90 minutes for a few years now. 2017 was 101 minutes, and 2018 was 98. Xcloud, Gamepass, next-gen, and a surplus of 3rd parties could easily stretch this show longer than normal.

Two weeks, fourteen days, a fortnight.
We're in the endgame now so I think it is only right that this lady makes an appearance again. Buckle up folks :)

If they do go the distance, I hope they balance the timings out a little. The Division 2, Fallout 76 and Forza Horizon 4 took over 20 minutes combined.
Xbox One 's Backwards Compatibility announcement in 2015 was the best E3 moment of this decade.
Change my mind.
Change my mind.
Man, I wish MS/Xbox to improve their online store presence and discoverability. I was searching for "the division 2" and the PlayStation store is first suggested and they even run ads for it. Xbox store is on the 5th page of Google results (at least in my region). And there are many more examples where PSN version of the game is first or sponsored link. In the digital age, they should be much much better with store promotion.
What i wanted to say is that we shouldn't look to much into this timetable because it is not the first year when we see this kind of schedule with 120 mins mentioned
So are we expecting new MS studio announcements for E3? It seems like a lot of that chatter has died down.
Have they announced the timing of the show? Maybe I missed it.
It blew my fucking mind. I remember thinking while Phil was about to drop the bomb "oh cool, background music".
Probably same time as the conference but on Monday. Believe it was like that last year.
Of course. This and the previous thread are chock full of those discussions, it's something that's already been dissected from almost every angle. At this point we can only make guesses, more will be revealed in a couple of weeks. I'm expecting them to match their X018 announcements at the very least, although I'm hoping for big surprises (like studios from regions other than NA and UK).
I imagine they'll punt some DLC stuff (SoD2, We Happy Few) to that show, as well as some of the inXile stuff like Bards Tale IV, maybe deep dive the PC stuff also.

All aboard the Hype Infinity?

ehi the dude is still a Jez 's writer on windows central.
We had to remember that this will be the first halo released concurrently on a new console, on pc and on whatever device via xCloud, so they had to balance it for a new audience who never played the 5 main games before(9 including reach, odst and wars saga), not including the books and the comics.
Ancient human are just so weird, it's almost a return to the pulp fiction scifi where the main character had to fight other humans, among aliens, which have an inferior society but a superior war technology, like John Carter. I'm intrigued because it will be a post modern triumph of the scifi pop tropes, but the general public will appreciate that?
No one read the GB trilogy before halo 4, because the third book was published in 2013
Remember that will be written for the new pubblic like I said above, so this could be a both benefit for having more freedom since the audience will approach it with a blank slate approach and an hazzard
They never cut the expanded universe, it still affects main character, simply they are building mistery around the nature of the next game, comics and books were extremely useful to guess what the direction would have been
I've never found halo 4 confusing and I've found only two terminals in my first run, it was easy to understand. IMHO it's a peculiar game because you had to dig to find hidden connections and details, like the asoiaf books, it's understandable on a simple level but to connect everything you had to read/play it again.
I was confused by halo 3 and how it dumbed down everything from 3
right now it looks a game engineered for be appreciated by the casual crowd, so I agree.
Fuck anxiety, now I'm escited and hyped
So like the spiderman demo for ps5's ssd?
Makes sense.
I definitely feel confident in XGS bringing back the MS Flight Sim franchise in the upcoming two/three years. It would make sense with them focusing on more than just console players. It's also one of their most succesful pc franchises, so with renewed investment it seems like a no-brainer.
I'm not. You're right, it has died down some, no rumors or anything over the past few months. Leads me to believe that the recent prospects haven't panned out.
do people think another surprises could be newly acquired studios also announcing games?..that would be incredible
I'm two levels deep into Guardians and while the 4k update helps, it's not much of a looker. The game running at 60 FPS certainly gives it leeway.
Edit:
The number of enemies on screen at a time including your squad members is impressive, especially in larger environments apposed to a linear corridor. The game certainly doesn't look bad.

Really hope we get a live gameplay demo of Gears 4/Halo 5 at E3. Really enjoyed those games and would rather get gameplay for an old game that I do like than a new game that I won't
Just back away slowly. Don't make eye contact. And for god's sake, don't quote it!
I'm... pretty skeptical. Setting aside the question of who'd be calling themselves the Lord of Admirals with what's left of Forthencho stuck in 343 Guilty Spark/Chakas, they're already juggling a lot of stuff with the enemies in Infinite with Cortana's Created/Covenant/Whatever. If we get another enemy type, I'd bet on Flood before ancient humanity.
Another reason to be skeptical is the lack of Mendicant Bias in the leaks - they're going to have to bring them in at some point, dammit. Only way you beat a metastable super-AI is with another metastable super-AI!

where did you found the picture?
It has its flaws, but its haters brought it to a next level
Bonnie Ross (or was chris lee?) talked about a slipsace demonstration on stage, so it could happen
I mean we know for a fact anchient humans are GOING to be in infinite. So I kinda believe these hobbit and neanderthals rumors. Somewhat, I remember a terminal in halo 4 showed the humans after they go dna bombed to square one, and they were all just regular vanilla humans. I'm 50/50 on this one.
I 100% believe the sprint, slide, and clamber (I'm thinking there gonna make it sekiro esq as in you can only clamber on certain obvious objects, that one lil change would put skill based jumping back in halo again) only rumor. Halo 5 shot right back into the esports scene with its updated halo gameplay, I know the super hardcore (which I consider myself) want classic halo (FYI I think halo 5 was the perfect mix of new and old. Besides spartan charge, I actually do like ground pound, it's useless but fun) gameplay but I love playing MCC and and I know my COD/Destiny era friends from this generation wouldn't touch classic halo with a 9 yard stick sadly.
Kids today really will not play a game if they can't easily (with the only exception being from software games, god bless them) be good at it lol, it's sad. Enhanced mobility doesn't make the game easier per say but it sure as hell makes it more familiar to what casuals are accustomed to today, so leaving those abilities was a (well if it's true) wise choice.

Why going with Mendicant when they have Guilty Spark and Abbadon?
Well the game is set on installation 07 apparently, where Primordium took place. I'm sure there will be some connections with the Greg Bear books.
But with regards to the Admiral, I thought he was totally out of the picture, can't remember what happened to him now.
Also I have a feeling Chakas/ 343 will return.
Add me to the ship, pls. M$ is easily the most interesting conference this year with Sony skipping E3. Hope to see Halo Infinite, Fable Cyberpunk and at least a teaser for what Obsidian is working on (might be too early, I know). Add in some resurrected franchise like Shadowrun, Crimons Skies and Mechassault and of course all the third-party-stuff that will be shown because Sony isn't there.Xbox Hype Infinity
Refresh #1
Guilty Spark spent too much time as a joke character (and monitors in general have that flavor - just look at Exuberant) and Abaddon is dead or... something, but regardless, it's exceptionally unfriendly. Also too powerful for this.
Chakas is what happened to him. He's stuck in the back of whatever monitors have that passes for a brain.
But they are still alive? there were human expeditions on 07 and they reported to the unsc about alien deers and the fauna. So the ring wasn't hit by a major catastrophe that extinct everything, and maybe monitors had to preserve the fauna(07 was a human farm that forerunners used as guinea pigs), but why the unsc expeditions didn't found them?
All that the trailer showed were relics, so those could be old structures from the forerunner era
humanity is the enemy. i posted something similar in the halo community thread but how factual a halo leak turns out to be inversely proportional to how absurd it sounds and what the community would want. so, this is 100% legit
