E3 Predictions and Prayers (Microsoft Edition)

Ok! I finished the Sony predictions now its time for my Microsoft predictions! Truth is that they can't miss after what happened at last years E3. But this E3 will swing things in their favor. Here's what I think will happen.

1. Microsoft will open with some big theme music and Phil Harrison will walk to the stage. A grateful MS fanbase will cheer. He'll talk about how things may have gotten off to a bit of a shaky start but with a successful launch and that the X1 is ahead of the sales rate of the 360, that its the fastest selling console in MS history. But they won't be resting on their laurels.

2. He'll go over their 360 sales and talk about how the 360 has sold X number of games, including ports of Titanfall and the like. He'll also mention that the games with gold promotion is going strong a year later and are giving games away on 360.

3. Then he will talk about the GWG for X1 promotion and announce that a big game for the next month for GWG on X1. I'm thinking it will be something like Forza 5.

4. Here is where the TV stuff will happen. Halo TV and the like will be brought up. They will talk about the TV features and how many hours of TV that has been displayed etc. It will be the one big lull in the presentation.

5. He'll then announce 3rd party games. All will be very nice and include stuff from Ubisoft, EA, and the like. There will be a sports section where they will showcase the newest Madden and NBA stuff. This stuff is the standard stuff you see from them every year. Expect some sports personality or professional athlete. You'll get announcements for the next CoD, BF, etc. But the big shocker will be when he announces that Fallout 4 will be exclusive to Xbox.

6. He will then announce the new exclusives. Here is where things get muddled. I'm thinking that they will announce Lost Odyssey 2, Conker's Bad Fur Day 2, Battletoads and Perfect Dark. Also the Platinum game. Black Tusk working on Gears and the like. This is on top of games that are already in the works like Sunset Overdrive, D4, Project Spark, Forza Horizon etc. It will be pretty exciting.

7. But it won't be the end without showing what fans are hoping for. You'll see a big trailer for the Master Chief collection. Halo 1-4 all in HD and remastered for Xbox one. All as a gear up for the big reveal of Halo 5 gameplay footage. Then they will shock everyone and announce that Halo 5 will be launching this holiday season.

I know I missed a lot of stuff. But to be honest the MS press conference will be massive. I know I'm looking forward to it. Next time I'll bring up Nintendo's Digital event!
