Everyone is busy playing games, so it's been a little slow around these parts.
Because of that, and because rumors have been light lately, I figured these rumors deserved their own thread.

BTW they are from some random dude with no source, so big grain o' here:

The first DX12 game that blow your mind is ReCore. (Sand Storms, VFXs ...)

Killer Instinct Season 3 will receive a visual upgrade to DX12. Other games ever released not receive.

Lionhead Studios next step is to continue the project Eden Falls.

Age Of Empires, Deadrising 4, Conker, Battletoads and Ryse 2 is coming.

Crackdown 3, Age of Empires, Halo Wars 2, Halo FPS RPG, New Lost Odyssey, State Of Decay 2, Sea Of Thieves and Sunset Overdrive 2 are full DX12 and Cloud games. (Microsoft is investing heavily in rich and massive online worlds.)

Quantum Break is a DX11.3 game ported to DX12.

Scalebound will use the cloud to the coop mode.

Microsoft is negotiating with Kojima to produce Perfect Dark TPS.

Microsoft in talks to bring Cyberpunk 2077 to use the cloud and havok processed in the cloud.

The Division has been delayed to be developed in DX12.

Mass Effect Andromeda is full DX12 and Tiled Resources game.

Doom is full DX12 game.

Microsoft tried to revive CONTRA ip.

EA, UBISOFT and TakeTwo are studying the implementation of processing in the cloud.

Playground Games is developing a hybrid between Horizon, PGR and Midtown Madness, using full DX12 latest ForzaTech engine with async, multi threading and cloud.

Backward compatibility with the Xbox OG is coming before E3.

A new trailer and a new game will be announced on December 3.
 
We shall see.

Dead Rising 4 seems kind of unwarranted to me, but who knows? Insomniac owns Sunset Overdrive, so it seems a bit odd to be thrown into the bunch as a title that MS is heavily investing in, but again who knows?

Are they trying to say the Division has been delayed again, or that the previous delay was to move to DX12?

I'd be all for a KI upgrade as long as it doesn't cause any issues. I need my KI to stay silky smooth and blistering fast.

I actually do think that ReCore is going to surprise people, and they've already mentioned that the landscape is changed by sandstorms.

The bit about Playground Games is oddly specific, so in my mind, that adds a bit of weight to that particular one. We'll have to wait and see.

Regardless, I'm excited about where gaming is right now. It's been a good holiday season so far, next year seems to be getting off to a pretty solid start with KI Season 3, Quantum Break, and possibly ReCore. I'd like to know when we're getting our hands on Inside and Below. E3 2016 will be here before we know it.
 
I'm actually pretty excited for ReCore, if the DX12 rumor holds any weight that'd be fine by me :) I'd also love a DR4 even sans DX12 would float my boat. For what it was and all the sh!t going on onscreen DR3 looked awesome to me.

Honestly, the whole list seems like an Xbox fan's wet dream.

I see no real point in investing heavily in Lost Odyssey. It was a game meant to crack the Japanese market, which it failed at, and MS is doing terrible there still. It also wasn't a huge seller.

The playground games game mash up seems odd.

I can buy the online cloud stuff and MS's focus on it, though. It makes sense, and is something MS needs to do if the cloud is to become relevant.

The Division being delayed because of DX12 makes no sense, but this is Ubisoft, so who knows.
 
TITANFALL 2 Will release on all platforms maps first on xbox one .

A new strike game from dice .

EA access 360 games will start in January two at a time .

NVIDIA streaming coming july 2016
 
Just a hunch, but I think some of Rare's franchises are coming back with most of them developed by somebody else. That was the general vibe of Rare Replay videos. Conker especially - Original developers were saying that they aren't going to make Conker games again but the focus was on the fact that they let it go, so someone else could jump in instead. On the other hand, I've been curious how many of Rare's staffs are working on Sea of Thieves, because from the sound of it, they did want to bring Battletoads back. Add in Phil Spenser's T-shirt and it makes a lot of sense. I will not be surprised to see some Battletoads reboot announcement in the next E3.

DR3 sold around 2M on Xbox so wouldn't be surprised if 4 is coming.

Mistwalker are done with big games so LO2 is a real long shot.
 
Lol, misterxmedia

Oh wow, that guy has deleted all of his 'insider' posts.

It's like when an embassy gets stormed and all the documents have to be burned. Except there is no intelligence in this scenario, in both senses of the word.
 
Another rumor just added....really a stretch...but there is a possibility (not until next year at least) of Dreamcast games on the X1.

Again, don't put too much stock in this, but I've always wanted Powerstone on XBL!

The original Hydro Thunder.
 
I don't doubt that they're making The Division a DX12 game, but that certainly wasn't the reason for the delay.

I put negative stock in this. But I do want Powerstone!!!!!!
 
Making up rumors is easy as hell if you study patterns, you can even pretend you're an insider and tell the most auspicious lies.

Some of you might remember this from 2014

It was totally me. Sheet I made up half of it and the other was based on conjecture and I still had a better batting average than CBOAT. Posted it on gamefaqs and in hours it had several dozen articles.
 
I heard from my bothers' cousins' roommate's step sister that Bleem was making a comeback and PSX games would be playable on the X1 by this New Years.
 
I thought DeadRising 4, would a no brainer, still haven't played that much of Sunset overdrive, KI3 is in march. This list does show some new games im interested in.

Bleem was the s*** back in the day, it made Tekken look so much better.
 
You mean the Sony awards? Yeah, not holding my breath for an MS game announcement there. When not licking Kojima's balls GK is all up in that Sony brown.
When did 'The Game Awards' on Dec 3 become Sony exclusive? Is Kieghley that desperate? I know he was shilling for Ubi and MCing that horrible Rainbow6 Twitch cast the other night but I never would have thought he'd sell out his own creation..
