Microsoft promises its E3 conference will focus heavily on games

4.7
The big hullaboo of E3 draws ever nearer and as everyone eagerly awaits another year's worth of announcements for the big event, we're starting to get some idea of Microsoft's presence at the annual expo.

Good ol' Phil Spencer has been chatting on Twitter (as spotted by CVG), and he answered a question directed to him about the conference by confirming that this year's MS showing will be more game focused with "very few execs". Phil also mentions how they already have so much stuff that MS are having to move stuff out of their 90-minute slot during the show.

Phil's also been speaking a little bit more at GDC after his comments earlier in the week about ID@Xbox

On the recent trend in VR headsets in the wake of the Oculus Rift and Sony announcing their own Project Morpheus Eurogamer reports he said:
"One of the things we have is this huge Microsoft research organisation that is important to us as platform holders in helping us think what might came next. That's where Kinect came from, it's where voice recognition came from, it's where Drivatar came from."


"Looking at things like Oculus, Morpheus - they haven't sent me one yet, but maybe they will - when I think about VR and the uses of it in gaming, I think there's a real "there" there"

Do you want to see a VR headset at the Xbox E3 event this year? If not, what else would you like to see? Let us know in the comments.

ODST Maybe now I can have a reason to buy a Xbone again rather than selling it with the first week of having it.


If you don't like Titanfall there isn't much to play right now. I would wait until Destiny launches (and hopefully The Division this year)


unfortunately I thnk ubisoft said they will most likely be pushing back Division to 2015 or early 2016 cant remember exactly when because of watch dogs and the new Assassins creed, I cannot wait for destiny and division but im hoping for more games this year

Yeah i heard that too, they didn't specifically mention The Division, but all signs point to it.

I've already got a PC (decent) and a PS4 so most current-gen games I can play with already but thanks for the responses.


You bought an Xbox One and then sold it within the first week.. what kind of logic is that..?
