They really didnt show alot yet really. We saw some tech demo's of how the destruction worked and abit of a wip footage. But thats it. Dont think we really saw any specific game modes yet.
It's gonna leak like hours before hand. Luckily I'll be asleep then!

Same here. Will be awake at 5am to catch the press E3 shows then settling down with a pack of smokes, pot of coffee and let the shows unveil.
Thinking about it, E3 is my annual holiday. Relaxing and watching then getting to see the reactions online. Big thing is to not let the online reaction change what I think about a game or feature. Every year since this generation begin, it has been strange to watch the popularity swing to Sony but better to see it being earned. Now this year I think will be MS try to bring it back their way. How, I am not sure but I look forward to seeing it.
Also, biggest pet peeve is that Australian cost is never mentioned. We love our consoles but we have to wait hours for the Australian offices to wake up and post the prices online at EB Games or on Kotaku.
I'm taking about the trailers and commentary.
Yes. But that didnt show alot. And we havent see alot also.

I think even this is too optimistic. Halo 5 forge maps, no DLC. Maybe a Halo 3 BR REQ that's complete garbage.
Right, but it all gives an impression. And the impression I got is that in MP players will be tasked with taking out a network of criminals.
This happened with Rare Replay lol, something like 30 min before the conference started it leaked
Although what people didn't know it was gonna be BC games

As in name, price and release date?
Yeah I remember that. Most of E3 2016 leaked like a few hours before hand too. But didn't people have API access last year too?
Yea MS fucked up and put all their E3 conference essentially public. Since then they have locked everything down I believe so it shouldn't happen again thsi year
The console itself. I can't remember a recent product that wasn't leaked.
Perhaps Surface Studio?

Mention this every year, but really hoping that one day Microsoft will lean on mod-support to bolster their games. With the new ground Bethesda's made in bringing mod-support to consoles, and MS merging their Xbox and PC stores through 'Play Anywhere', an "Xbox Mod Workshop" would be incredible, and something that unlike their other two big competitors, they'd be well-equipped to pull-off.
It would also ameliorate many concerns people have with both the Windows Store, and the Xbox-PC unification. Mod-support would have people actively engaging with the store, and on a recurring basis too. And it would be a huge feather in the cap from Xbox owners -would really embolden the idea that Scorpio is a PC lite.
Just think of the possibilities:
Sea of Thieves with effectively infinite custom quests, new areas, weapons, etc.
Crackdown 4 with a constant influx of bizarre weapons, vehicles, playspaces and playspaces.
Hell, these all run on Unreal Engine 4 too, as do most of MS games now that it's raised like Gears, DR4 (and Fable Legends + Scalebound lol). Implement it into your UE4 Xbox dev tools.
Would be so good.

It would be, but mod support for online games is quite a bit different to mod support for single player offline games, right? Probably need some strong regulation.

Hmmm well, that wouldn't be as bad as any real game leaks but still I'd rather have that all during the show. I think mid next week I'll take a break from here. And Reddit.
I know one of the ways this was done has been adjusted so you can't do it anymore. It was how the 1S was leaked before last year.
When was it adjusted. The Surface Pro and Surface Laptop were both leaked and that was recent.
It was around like last July/August time I think. It was how a lot of the games got leaked early as well.
This was for Xbox related leaks, not for surface etc. They were probably internal?
Cool. We shall see.
Halo: subtitle is not technically halo 6. They said when they added guardians to 5 they wanted to remove the numbers from the series. I'm still hopeful we see halo "6".

Possible.
I am really just curious about Scorpio. The rest i will see.

I don't trust 343 when it comes to denying Halo announcements prior to E3.

Path of Exile 3.0 beta starts next week, too
Could see some (more) footage of that game also
Pretty much in the "xbox is not only bringing console games to pc, but also pc games to console" segment

Utterly forgot about PoE appearing on Xbox.

The news has said no Halo 6, but the original source said "next major entry in the franchise."

I'm sure someone will jump the gun and put up a store listing with all the info before it a all officially announced. My (Monopoly) money is on Amazon or Microsoft Store.
Well, they didn't say Halo 6 either.
The full quote is, "we'll have a little something at E3 but it's not related to the next major entry in the franchise".

343 has been as direct as they can be.
They have absolutely no need or merit to spin their grammatically just so they can do a "gotcha, we lied!" at E3. They have no reason to say anything at all if they legitimately plan to announce the next big Halo there.
All this shows is that Phil wants to live up to the claims he said of shortening the announce-to-release lead-up time. Forza, Halo, Gears are established franchises that can do that short of a cycle and Forza already is, so this is imo, Halo's turn to become a short-cycle franchise instead of the previous 18 month approach.

No Halo at E3 is fine with me. I am still expecting a new Halo mainline game next year though.

Same.
I'm expecting Halo (6) to be announced in March or something with a big TV ad, first gameplay at E3, then release in Oct/Nov.

Not having Halo 6 just reeks of confidence. People say Xbox won't have anything but if that were the case they would announce Halo 6. I bet they have so many new games they simply don't have time for Halo 6
That seems unlikely to me. They'll probably just take more time per game because they don't have a lotta new to show IMO. I hope to be proven wrong off course but my guess is headlines for Crackdown 3, State of Decay 2, Forza 7, Sea of Thieves and a bunch of third-party games and indie games.

They'll have a beta as well I think following the game's reveal.
We're going in hot
It get's realz!
I'd agree, however having a beta really early for Halo 5 was a great thing, and I'm sure they'll do something like that again. They won't announce the game at E3, but certainly will before the end of the year.

Possible, but if they are going to do a beta and still release the final game October or November of next year, that doesn't leave much time to actually make any meaningful changes. Of course, there has been no mention of a beta and no actual release date info teased.
That's my thinking too. If Halo 6 is coming out Q4 next year, there's almost no way they don't announce it before the end of this year imo, and especially if there is going to be a beta.

They will have a Halo 6 CGI trailer. 343 won't be involved in showing that.
343 people will show off something else.
