Usually, now’s about the time that E3 starts kicking off. It’s usually Microsoft starting the pre-show press conferences, but in recent years that’s changed. It means the usual one-day long gauntlet of press conferences takes place over two, even three days.
It still feels like it really only takes off with Microsoft’s showcase though, which will be kicking off soon. At 18:30 local (That’s 12:30pm ET/9:30am PT/16:30 GMT/17:30 BST) Microsoft’s Phil Spencer will take the stage, and tell you stuff.
What are we expecting to see? Thanks to leaks, we know we’re likely to see a new, slimmer and importantly cheaper Xbox OneS, and we’ll see some Dead Rising 4 and a dash of ReCore. We’re also likely to have a gander at Gears of War 4, Scalebound, Sea of Thieves and hopefully, Crackdown 3 and Forza Horizon 3. We’ll probably see a little more Killer Instinct, and a glimpse of Halo Wars 2.
What else is there to cram in to an hour? Hopefully a few surprises. Watch the whole thing with us, right here.

Still putting bets on the table for an “upgrade attachment” to the existing console base…but I might be hoping for too much.

If I was Sony and Microsoft that is exactly what I would have done. Hey loyal customer thank you for purchasing our system that is not yet 3 years old. We would like to give you better gameplay and better looking games but we know that you paid hard earned cash for the not 3 year old system so we have decided to build a standalone system that will just power you right up to where our new consoles power will be. That is what I want to hear, not oh thank you idiots for buying our not yet 3 year old system, but screw you we have a newer, better on the way for the same price you morons paid. That would make me infinitely mad and also switch over to PC for good.
Nice little rant before MS even says a word, but then again all their shit has leaked already. They might as well just confirm every leak in the first 10 minutes and give us gameplay for the rest of the time. Hahaha
