    Microsoft E3 2011 Discussion Thread (Press - 6/6)

    Conference details, Monday, June 6 at 10AM PST/12PM CT/1 PM ET.

    Mark your calendars -- do people still do that? -- for Monday, June 6 at 10AM PST, which is when Microsoft will kick off its E3 2011 press conference. Or should we say "tip off?" Like Sony, Microsoft is moving its Xbox 360 event to a sports arena this year. In this case it's the Galen Center, home of the USC Trojans.
    I have a feeling that a price drop might be coming with a host of Kinect titles for the fall.

        MS has a "weaker" traditional 1st party effort than Sony and Nintendo, but that's been true for years. It's likely that everyone except 343 Industries, Turn 10, and Lionhead have been working on kinect and XBLA development.

        The 360 is where it is today because of the 3rd party multiplatform support anyways, so maybe there's some surprises there. MS will be all about the Kinect this year though, no way around it.

          Hopefully it is just a tease and not an unveiling of anything new.

          Hoping we see quite a bit of Forza 4 and Gears 3 SP should be interesting stuff.

            Looking forward to this. I assume we'll see Gears 3 SP demo, MW3 demo, Forza 4 demo for sure. Maybe we'll see an announcement from 343i. Maybe an announcement from Respawn. I'm sure there will be an AC Revelations demo at E3, but I'm not sure if that will be shown at the MS conference.

            I would assume we will see a host of Kinect titles as well as something new for the Dashboard in the "entertainment" department.

            I don't think we will see anything on new Xbox hardware as the earliest release for it looks to be 2014.

              Was there any word of Ubisoft having a press conference? Hopefully it's going to be better than just having James Cameron talk for an hour.

                Some Halo news. I thought they were working on an HD remake of the first Halo game.

                  Not sure but I'd rather just see their games at MS or Sony's conferences because Ubisofts have been brutal to watch in the past.

                  There has been a rumor that there will be a Halo CE HD remake released for the 10th aniversary of the game this year, but nothing has been confirmed.

                    And so the MS rumor train begins...

                    Rumor: Xbox 360 to get full stereoscopic 3D support

                      A nice round-up of Microsoft trademarks and rumors. Unsurprisingly, Kinect is mentioned a lot.

                        A look at highlights from last year’s press conferences and recent headlines to try and uncover what the companies may have to offer this year.

                          I expect to see Gears 3, something Fable related, the new 343 project which seems to point towards an Halo CE game, bungies new game and some new 1st party games. Its been awhile since they have gotten new ones.

                          I also expect to see "plans" of a new system to try to counter Nintendo as well as the "Hardcore" kinect titles that there were rumors about.

                            Bungie has already confirmed that they will not be at E3.

                            As for hardcore Kinect games, you are right I think, a cover of the new Ghost Recon was spotted with a "better with Kinect" on the cover. Combo controller and Kinect games could be really cool if done right, which I assume Ghost Recon is.

                              Well that sucks, I was hoping to see Bungie at E3.
