Like I said already, the article is irrelevant to what I was saying. If you want to spend time arguing that the article is accurate (even though the authors themselves disagree), well, okay then, you go for it. The article is irrelevant to what I was talking about.
People complain when E3 conferences are filled with too many indie titles. How do you think people are going to react if they "spotlight" (your word not mine) a feature they already revealed at a prior E3? People went nuts last year when Sony ended their show with a sizzle real of God of War, The Last of Us II, Days Gone, Spiderman etc. Can you imagine what would happen if MS spent time on XBox and XBox 360 games?
Sony fans collectively s*** their tits out a few E3s back when it was annoucned they could buy FF7 again, episodically. If people will cream their Levis because they can buy games they already owned and enjoyed, you'd think they'd drench their trenchpants even more if they got those games upscaled to 4K for the low, low price of free.
Added a poll. You can change your vote until just prior to E3.
My vote goes to Microsoft. Already said why, but in a nutshell: They've got a lot to brag about, a lot to prove, and their calendar is clear. Sony will coast, with more details about games we already know are coming, plus some small announcements. Nintendo won't be much of a factor.

(Admittedly, that wouldn't do diddlycrap for people who sell their games back because they don't want to own them, but that's beside the point).
So is there a conspiracy?
You saw the reaction to FF7 Remake being announced a few years ago.
You see the reaction to XBox BC.
Why do you think the reactions are so different?
I voted Sony only because they'll likely have some gameplay of TLOU2 and Ghosts of Tsushima as well as another look at Spider-Man and some 3rd party stuff.
Honestly I wouldn't be shocked if Ubisoft takes it though, they arguably had the best show last year and they almost always have a solid line up.
I don't have much hope for EA, Battlefield going back to WW2 after the last one being in WW1 won't look all that different unless they change the locations a bit, Anthem probably isn't where it needs to be yet it's hard to think of them really going the extra mile. Something that would win me over for them would be a remaster of all of the bad company 1 and 2 maps in one package at 60fps, I know it won't happen but that'd be far more interesting to me than another WW2 shooter.
I'm hoping MS shows a few new IP's that aren't MP focused, a new Halo, Gears and Forza won't do a thing for me personally although I'm sure others here will find those interesting.
I couldn't care less about Nintendo.

BF 5 will look massively different and feel different.
I agree about Ubi. I think they have been the best 3rd party company this gen. Division, while flawed, was good. For Honour is one of my favourite games this gen. Wild lands was a big hit. Far Cry 5 seems to be a big hit. That Mario RTS hybrid game switch looke good and unique. Just good game after good game.
Not sure how massively different a WW2 game will look compared to a WW1 game unless they start finally including some of the pacific areas in it but we'll see, you could be right.

Yup, throw in AC: Origins as well. Ubisoft is definitely on a roll.
I don't follow Ubisoft carefully, but it seems like they've released most of what we knew was coming, and so the stage could be set for some interesting new announcements.
The original announcement was about making the old game playable with little to no upgrades and most people complained about that, that's why they later announced a full remake. I've never played it so I didn't care one way or the other but if you give me the choice of playing a game from 1997 with nothing but a resolution boost for free or a fully upgraded one that I have to pay for I'll take the upgraded one every time. It's awesome that MS can upgrade some older games with BC but it's not really a very big group of games that are getting that 4K treatment, most BC games don't look all that good and that's just what happens when you play older games, especially if you are playing something that was sub 720p originally on a 4K set.
So you think Sony will do exactly what they did last year? If no new hardware news is coming...Added a poll. You can change your vote until just prior to E3.

Yeah ww2 theme has zzzz written all over it but being a fan i am looking forward to it i just hope it plays better this time.Not sure how massively different a WW2 game will look compared to a WW1 game unless they start finally including some of the pacific areas in it but we'll see, you could be right.
I don't this ww2 will look much different.BF 5 will look massively different and feel different.

With that being said, the darkorse is Epic games with Fortnite specifically.
