Microsoft: expect more Xbox One exclusives at GamesCom, plus a "surprise" Xbox 360 game at E3

Microsoft's Phil Spencer is talking about Xbox One and Xbox 360 exclusives again. The man's incorrigible, isn't he? According to Spencer, Microsoft has an Xbox 360 game to announce at E3 that "no one has guessed", and the company will reveal additional Xbox exclusives after the show.

[Hellsvacancy]

A "surprise" sounds scary, could MS finally reveal Master Chef: Master Chief Edition? I joke (badly probably)

[Sandmano]

Im sure it wont be that much of a surprise.

[AngelicIceDiamond]

What if Sony said what this guy said? Then suddenly you and your PlayStation super friends start praising and throwing Kaz Hirai Gifs everywhere and you don't even know what the announcement is.

But your gonna assume its nothing because its not from your favorite company in the world.

All I'm saying is wait, If its nothing than feel free to shoot off at the mouth. But if its something, then we can at least congratulate them on whatever it is they did what the 360?

[S2Killinit]

AngeliclceDiamond
you mean him and his gamer friends? Yes we are more excited for Sony, is that a problem? In light of recent events forgive me if I don't care what microsoft is touting around. They can't buy me back with games.

PS: Also, let me tell you why some others may not be excited. Sometimes you need a translator to understand MS PR. What he means to say is: I know you might have been expecting 15 exclusives at E3 (but as Adam Sassler mentioned, they are over a period of 1 1/2 years) So don't be dissapointed if we don't show all 15, just wait for Gamescom when the rest will be ready for show. As for now, enjoy the number "15". end translation.

[silenius]

Actually, it's sad when you realise that you are more anxious for the Xbox 360 surprise, rather than any Xbox One reveal.

Shame...

[wagnus]

All the exclusives in the world won't get my money.

YA BLEWWWW IT! - Billy Madison

[RedHawkX]

I agree F gamescon e3 is all that matters and the only reason they talking about gamescon is beacuase there e3 will be crap with just kinect crap, tv crap, and multiplat games and maybe 1 or 2 timed dlc's

[sarcastoid]

AngelicIceDiamond, there is this thing called "track record" and when a company continuously makes poor decisions, it can lower expectations.

[bcrazy18]

Sandmano, this is not directed towards you... this is a general statement lol

Everyone needs to calm down for a minute. I'm not sold on any console yet. To be completely honest, Sony has hardly provided any information on the features available to their console. They could have fees for used games, they could have restrictions on internet access, they could block the play of used games totally. There are still so many question marks on both consoles that it's unfair to judge one and not the other. Wait until everything has been release on both consoles, wait until you see the games that are available, and then make your decision and stop whining like a bunch of cry babies. It's not the end of the world if these consoles don't have what YOU want in them so get over it and grow up.

[bcrazy18]

RedHawkX... They've already said there will be no tv and strictly games... You don't work at Microsoft do you? So, you don't know what they have planned. Sony could have just as "crappy" of a conference but you don't know that because you don't work for them and you don't know what they have planned.

[DOMination-]

They don't say the 360 game is an exclusive. I'm guessing its something like FFv13.

Off topic: On gaf they are saying you need to pay 30 a year for online gaming on ps4. 60 for ps+ discounts and 100 for gaikai.

[fermcr]

"Microsoft: expect more Xbox One exclusives at GamesCom, plus a "surprise" Xbox 360 game at E3"

I've already sold my X360 last week. Few months from now going to sell my PS3. I'm waiting for next gen.

[True_Samurai]

Well dude my beloved Microsoft is going along with the 24hr DRM. I'm still going to get it on day one but I just hope they know what they're doing

[Dmagic]

@trueninja you are a true fool

[Waller]

@Dmagic Or he/she has enough courage to brave the storm. Microsoft aren't idiots. If they were, they wouldn't have lasted half as long in any market as they already have.

[S2Killinit]

@Dmagic
I can understand your frustration with gamers who will support thme but lets not call people names, trueNinja has the right to do what he/she wants with his money.
@Waller
Oh believe me they are very smart. You have to be if you can implement such aggressive anti consumer policies and still have people buy your console. PS: it doesn't require courage, more like indifference.

[YNWA96]

Dmagic, seriously, MS has told you to your face what they are doing. Its what Sony has not said that would scare me. MS knows the infrastructure is there to do what they want, and when something like this happens, it does speed up getting areas covered by broadband. I heard people saying what if a tornado struck and I lost Internet, well.... That one is about priorities in life...

[GezForce]

@trueninja Educate yourself

[SegataSanshiro]

While i agree and despise MS, i don't think you should have sold your 360 man. Who knows in some years youre gonna feel like playing halo 3 or gears of war or whatever other xbox exclusive...thats why i have a bunch of old school consoles....you never know mate.

[syanara]

could this be a surprise already spoiled ... titanfall?

[Nafon]

hope not

[DeadlyFire]

I expect Surprise to be Halo 2 Anniversary edition.

I expect the E3 exclusive that noone has guessed = Homefront 2!!

Crytek is making Ryse for them anyway. Talk of EA partners might not last much longer. Crytek isn't a publisher. They have never announced finding a publisher for Homefront 2. Although most would just expect EA to publish it.

[UNGR]

Who would want to publish the turd that is Homefront? That game flopped hard for a reason. It was a bad FPS, hyped to hell and back to be the "Call of Duty killer". Absolute worst FPS game of that year. (minus Brink, I think they came out in the same year)

[memots]

At mcstorm.

I picked up Alan Wake entire collection on steam for 4$ and it wasn't worth it. Very disappointing.

The fact that you would have that on your list is laughable.

[extermin8or]

Well you must be playing a different game to me-I thought it was great... I can honestly say it's probably the only xbox exclusive I wish came to ps3... however its hardly the best game ever.

[memots]

How is this am Xbox exclusive when I am not playing on my 360?

Read the definition of exclusive.

[showtimefolks]

Yeh after all the crap you guys are trying to enforce on games you better show some games

[GribbleGrunger]

People better hope that they're not all like this Xbox One game: http://www.youtube.com/watc...

[maniacmayhem]

Why? That game looks boss.

[SegataSanshiro]

The surprise is 3 exclusive games for the xbox from SEGA: Segata Sanshiro's ultimate rocket ride, Judo throw simulator, and Baseball barefoot kicker 2013

[indysurfn]

Unless they have a FFVII remake, or FFXV exclusive I don't care! And if it had been for xboxone I still would not have cared!

[ALLWRONG]

I could care less what MS or even Sony have to show anymore. Expect some bad PS4 news soon. Time for console gamers to give PC a try.

[dirigiblebill]

Timesplitters 4! Fallout 4! Lost Odyssey 2! Milo & Kate!

/bubble bursts

It's a new Dance Central game, isn't it.

[Raccoon]

Nope it's Star Wars kenict 2

[gamertk421]

I'm hoping for Viva Pinata Dance Central!

[ShwankyShpanky]

>>Timesplitters 4!

If this were a 360/Xbone exclusive, I would be very disappointed. Not enough to elicit an Xbone purchase, but enough for a nice loud "Dammit!"

[pop-voxuli]

Timesplitters 4 for PS4!!!

[Eyesoffiction]

Probably banjo, rare isn't what it used to be, stop trying to ride on nintendo's glory days.

[NukaCola]

BK Gruntyland was leaked on that E3 listing. I doubt it'll be anything like a true original Banjo title.

[Eyesoffiction]

I doubt any banjo title microsoft puts out will be a true banjo title. It will never be the magic it once was.

[jjw4k]

Having a game no one has guessed yet isn't necessarily a good thing. It will be surprising if it's a game people will actually want. And even more surprising will be if Microsoft can win people over at E3 and get them to purchase a Xbox Juan once it's released.

[Why o why]

Crimson skies and a panza dragoon please....Not sure about the x1 but those 2 games have slept for a whole gen. People talk about how rich ms are....spend some more of that loot on game development. Give more back to the gamers instead of what you're doing now.

[Cherchez La Ghost]

Crimson Skies! Damn, you brought up a good one! I used to love that game.

[wellard]

Its probably another steel battalion. This time with twice the kinect irritation

[monkey602]

Expect this and expect that. Hey Microsoft put up or shut up! I'm getting sick of your games.

[CaEsAr-]

What games?

[jjw4k]

Oooooooooooh ZING! Take that Microsoft!

[TechOne]

Oh damn! Well played.

http://i.imgur.com/29fRIja....

[KimiRaikkonen]

1.quantam break
2.forza motorsport 5

[monkey602]

Exactly! Ha no I meant like mind games. This to me says their E3 will underwhelm but don't lose hope in us yet. The same dribble Microsoft has spit out for a long time now. Next week will truly make or break the new systems. There'll be no more chances after that

[Raccoon]

Pre-announcing surprises really? That really kills the wow factor...

[abzdine]

and make expectations very high for nothing. they better shut up and try to correct the disaster they have already created

[project_pat36]

probably diablo 3. its been announced on battle.net already. so long ps3/4 exclusivity.

chances are it wont be a exclusive game anyway. MS are full of shit, so take anything they say with a grain of salt..

[CSLJames]

Blizzard already announced Diablo 3 on Xbox360/PS3.

[project_pat36]

miss something?

"its been announced on battle.net already"

[Biggest]

Which is why you pointing it out as some sort of surprise is extremely bizzare.

Also. . . Project Pat couldn't rap.

[wellard]

sorry did you say grain of salt? Thats being overly kind to MS :P

Edit
@Project_pat36. LOL much better

[project_pat36]

My mistake :)

Take anything MS says with the scent of a fart.

better? probably not.

[UNGR]

Not like it was a hot title anyway, completely flopped on the PC in terms of quality. It was Diablo 2 with less everything, and dumbed down everything else. With 10000% more hackers.

[Myze]

The game certainly failed in a lot of places, but to claim any game anywhere ever made has more hackers than Diablo 2 is naive.

[Fat-Milkers]

Oh a 360 exclusive! Yey, one more 360 game to buy, then its goodbye to Microsoft. I will cherish the game and the time I have left with Xbox.

On a positive note, I just registered my new gamer tag on the PlayStation website! :DD

[gamertk421]

Good luck with that terrible controller, lol. J/K. Sorta...

[Rusty515]

Don't know why people hate playstation controllers. They're actually pretty comfortable when you get used to it.

[Supermax]

If they put showing big games and new ips off at e3 it's a wrap,I'm expecting GameStop to start taking preorders of new consoles the week after e3.people will turn heavily to ps4

[Hoffmann]

I will care if its Killer Instinct 3

[TechOne]

*Killer Kinect 3

[shadowwizard]

Metal Gear Solid IV for X360 on 7DVDs. Mark my words. Kojima was in opening video for XOne presentation and since MGSV is coming to X360 I can see him announcing this game for X360.

[Astargatis]

What about offering exclusives without DRM,without spying cameras and all that bull****?

[mmccarthy4]

come on, let's be realistic here.

[OrangePowerz]

Now it's wait for GamesCom?

[Minato-Namikaze]

" wait till launch is next", lol

[sags79]

They are learning from Square-Enix! "Please wait for [insert next game event here].

[coolvibu93]

They never said they would announce all 15 games at E3. What, they're not allowed to keep some surprises as the year passes by? If they revealed all 15 games anyway, they would all compete for the same attention anyway.

[OrangePowerz]

No, but they didn`t even do their E3 conference yet so there is no point in talking about showing more exclusives at the GamesCon. They can say that at the end of the presentation that people should look forward to gamesCon for more announcements and not start to talk about it before E3.

[S2Killinit]

only reason they are mentioning GamesCom is because when they announced the 15 exclusives, they implied that they were going to be at E3. they know what they are doing. Otherwise, why even mention exclusives at Gamescom? I think we already assumed there would be exclusives at Gamescom. right?

[SegataSanshiro]

I like this guy.....

[Bathyj]

Please tell me its Crimson Skies and finally make me interested in something.

[Hayabusa 117]

Oh good, one more reason for me not buy an Xbox One :)

[from the beach]

At this point I'd say just focus on Xbox One.. honestly can't see myself finding time to play Fable Anniversary or whatever this game is amid the next gen blitz.

[patsrule316]

Since I have 2 360s, I am hoping for something really cool at E3 now. But I have to say, when you tell someone there will be a big surprise at a certain time, it invites wild speculation, some of which is always bigger than the surprise that is delivered. That leads to disappointment, that might not have been there if people hadn't been expecting a surprise. Think the ending to the show Lost, people had built up the ending into mythic proportions, expecting a big surprise, then the vast majority felt let down. On the other hand, look at Game of Thrones this week...no expectations, but a huge surprise. If people were warned to expect a huge surprise, it would have destroyed the impact.

[jazzking2001]

E3 has yet to come and you are thinking bout GamesCom?

do E3 first...do it right..IF YOU CAN (based on what bad work you have done thus far)

then worry about GamesCom

[sway_z]

I seriously believe MS are under estimating their fan base by expecting them to 'hang on a string' with this wait and see approach.

XBox One Reveal "Wait 'til E3"
XBox One E3 "Wait 'til Gamescom"
XBox One Gamescom "? ?"

Most of the dreaded rumours have been officially announced as true, nobody wants this policy, and yet MS still persist with this strategy.

I've been a gamer well over 25 years, I can honestly say I have never seen anything so contrived and convoluted....

As a gamer I absolutely feel sad for the Xbox faithful, those who helped MS build the foundation with XBL etc.

Sony really better 'Do the right thing by gamers'.

[JeffGUNZ]

What are you talking about. They have 15 exclusives to show, maybe they are saving some for gamescon. Either way, they better deliver some new and exciting IPs. Same goes for Sony, I don't want another infamous or killzone. I need that like I need another Gears and Halo.

[fourOeightshark]

Really bro? you say you don't want another inFamous like there's been 4 already.

[OrangePowerz]

Whats wrong with another inFamous? Both games are very good so why not continue making them as long as they are good.

I`m sure the Sony 1st and 2nd Party studios are working on plenty of new IP`s.

[JeffGUNZ]

Yeah, I don't want a new generation console launch featuring two last gen series. I want to see some new IP's. Infamous was a good game, don't get me wrong, but it's not a blockbuster title which moved consoles. Killzone is good, but I would love to see Sony come out with a Last of Us type game for next gen. Sure, maybe they have that up their sleeves and will show something great this E3, but too be content with infamous, which is the third in the series and another killzone just doesn't really make me super pumped.

[S2Killinit]

Adam Sassler already informed us that the 15 exclusives are for a period of 1 1/2 years. From launch until not this christmas but the next christmas. This announce is just so people wouldn't be disappointed when there is less than 15 exclusives at E3, since that was the implication of what they said, otherwise we already know there has to be exclusives at GamesCom.

[Biggest]

"but it's not a blockbuster title which moved consoles."

What does that matter? You don't want a new game because, though you enjoyed it, people you don't know didn't buy it? Learn to enjoy your life without depending on confirmation by the world. You'll be a happier person for it. You're welcome.

[DigitalRaptor]

Jeff, Jeff, Jeff

Take Biggest's lesson in life and run with it.

You're touting Microsoft's 15 exclusives within the first year, but thinking that Killone, inFamous, DriveClub and Knack are the only exclusives that PS4 will have in its first year on market too. Expect a new Final Fantasy... and that dude, is just the start.

The reliability of what Microsoft says about their 15 exclusives is about as reliable as this: http://www.gamesradar.com/s...

[xxLuckyStrike]

The 24hr drm check is bullshit. Too many variables. It should be random every few weeks at worst. For MS to disable my ability to play online/offline purchased games. Just don't try an charge 400-500 dollars for something I clearly LEASE. If you want consumers on board Xbox One had better be cheap!!! Based on this DRM/PC format crap XB1 should retail@ $250-300 tops!!! No way I pay 400-500 for a Bluray/cable box!!!! and invest hundereds in games/XBL/cloud and shut off my gaming section for no drm scan. Underscan THIS MS!!! I have DirectTV!! I have Netflix via PC/TV, ect!!!! I have Music and dozens of social aps skype, twitch,ect via laptop. I don't need/care Kinect!!! I don't need 24 hr drm hastle!!! YOU MS are flippin every person the BIRD cause they don't have wifi at all is soooo sooooo unthoughtful and poorly devised. Whats next FINES?111

[patsrule316]

By my thought process, the surprise must be a franchise that has never been on the Xbox 360 before. A new IP could not be guessed, and wouldn't be a surprise. Every franchise from the 360 has already been guessed, and again wouldn't be a surprise. A true surprise would be a Zelda or Mario game, although that won't happen. If I had to guess a single game, I'd guess I would speculate Star Craft. We already know Diablo is coming, but if they could have somehow translated star craft to 360 controls, that would be a huge surprise that no guessed, but seems within the realm of possibility.

[NeloAnjelo]

After ignoring Gamescom and Europe you show up now to sell us your entertainment box?

Sorry but Not enough detail on how your console would work here, and your "conference" only seemed to focus on one continent. In other words stay where you are!

[Morgue]

A surprise 360 game that no one has guessed?

Blinx the Cat?

[Karpetburnz]

Sony will yet again tend to my gaming needs, Sony is always thriving to be the best in the industry and us gamers are rewarded with world class gaming and a loving community, thank you Sony.

[Godlovesgamers]

I think you're comment is a bit convoluted with fanboyism but I am also in the Sony camp. I will say that if Sony does anything remotely similar to what M$ is proposing then I'm out and real gamer should be as well. Trampling consumer rights, trusts and privacy is not optional.

[BDSE]

Finally someone with some sense! Bubbles up for that.

[Godlovesgamers]

@ArronC07

and bubbles to you as well sir!

Let's ban together and show these companies that WE GAME ON OUR TERMS, not theirs!

[quenomamen]

Thought everybody already knew, they get that new Respawn game.

http://m.neogaf.com/showthr...

[Godlovesgamers]

Looks like the apple (Jason West and Vince Zampella/ex infinity ward employees) doesn't fall to from from the tree (EA) after all.

Well that's one less dev I will be supporting.

[etownone]

Killer Instant

[brianunfried]

At this point my Xboner is gone and it ain't comin' back.

[reko]

whats next?

[shawn505]

Microsoft announces an exclusive for xbox 360 and everyone hates on it.....I think at this point people will hate xbox no matter what and that's pretty unfair.

[BDSE]

People "hate" xbox for a good reason. I just can't believe that people are on here defending them and planning on buying the console.

Same goes for PS if they pull the same kind of stuff.

[DivineAssault]

"Expect more at gamescom"? Are they setting up excuses for a weak E3 showing already?

[mydyingparadiselost]

Your games don't really matter anymore M$, your business practices have assured that.

[Livecustoms]

First at your 'Reveal' event you told us to wait till e3, now your telling us to wait till fucking Gamescom !? MAKE UP YOUR MINDS !

[swerve121]

Its probably gonna be the arcade versions of Killer Instinct. At least im hoping lol

[Arietos]

I'm about to make a Salto. Should I clap hands? I know, I already know... you will Show me big elephantshit.

[TBONEJF]

The only surprise i can think of is another boring COD exclusive content. METAL GEAR SOLID 5 announcement which been done already.

[isyourhouseonfire]

WOOWOO!! The XBOX ONE strikes back!

[cell989]

all iM LEARNING TO EXPECT FROM Microsoft is DRM BS

[LuditPRIME]

Fps and driving games play consistently better on xbox then any other console in history! All i want is good games if they can prove it on monday then. Day one purchess for me.

[Themba76]

it's probably Dance Central 4 Usher Edition.

[MRMagoo123]

So its gonna be "wait for gamescom"next ?

[Krosis]

The comments are sadly predictable on this site.

[2v1]

is 15 dlc time exclusives
I know this I already talk to my psychic

[SaffronCurse]

Can't wait to see these times exclusives.

[Run_bare]

they negotiating exclusives with their bank book, it's always about money in the end not about the games and gamers. it's important but not as important as a good enjoyable game.

[MatriXcian]

To be honest MS could blow my mind at E3 and due to their DRACONIAN console I still wouldn't be interested.

[IIJOSEPHXII]

There hasn't been a game made or ever will be that would make me interested in xbox one.

GTA VI
Fallout 4
Dark Souls III

You could make them all exclusive to xbox one and I still wouldn't go near the thing.

[SpinalRemains]

Wow. Just fucking wow!

E3 will be all about the games but wait till GamesCon. Holy Jesus are they serious?

Well this confirms that XBox One will mostly Kinect games just like last Gen and E3 will be dancing C3PO, baby tigers, Call of Duty hair and wait till GamesCon.

I'm retiring from these articles now. Its just sad. The new policies have driven me away and I have tried to help others see the evil, bit this is just sad now.

GL everybody.
Happy E3 and enjoy TLoU.

[POR_QUEEEEEEEEEEEEEE]

No "surprise" or "exclusive" game is going to make me buy a Xbox One.

[airgangstarr]

there ahead of the curve an down the road if the games drop in price then maybe we both win but the online thing is bs the kinect is bs even if the kinect works perfect i dont wanna use it unless im on skype .. they dont have the wrong ideas its jus the way the force it on u.. if they instead said were gonna cut out the middle man an give u games at 30 bucks bein were doin the used game thing i think everyone would be happy theres no comprimise its jus take take take... im sure if u have solid internet an dont lend games out an can turn kinect off like they say then its gonna be a solid system for as long as they support new games an not die towards the end like 360...

but i think if all goes well u will see a price drop in games like they cost on pc casue basically whats the difference now nobody likes change esp[ecially when its not ur choice an they gambling pretty heavy that this will work i dunno i was dead set on buyin the new xbox till all of this now i dunno ima see at e3 what games they have if its kinect heavy then im done but if they drop some good games i still dont know if i wanna support there dictatorship

the industry needs help i get that but cant we meet in the middle instead of its ur way or the highway

[gazgriff2k12]

who cares about the games
