I hope that won't all announcements though, cause there should be more. All these mentioned games except for Forza Horizon 2 and Crackdown 3 were officially announced already. Rare can't be sitting still and what other new IP they got planned.

I hope there are no new IPs leaked to be honest. I liked being surprised at E3. Leaking stuff we already figured was coming is fine by me though.
If this person is legit, i think they work for MS. I'd go as far as saying controlled leaks maybe to counteract CBOT.
/tinfoil hat theory.

You know I really would like if Criterion made another Burnout but actually put back the old style of "Crash Course" where you launch the car into the traffic trying to get crtain score, that was sooo fun.
Microsoft needs another futuristic/space type of a game to replace Halo and Gears. I love Halo but I feel like there won't be as many Flagship games as before. Halo, Mass Effect, Gears, Fable, Forza: now all of those games have been taken over by other teams who don't have exactly the same vision as original creators.
Would it not be massive if they created new exclusive Age of Empires for xbox and pc.
Then create another game in future lets say year 4000 and Earth is on brink of destruction so they evacuate the planet. In search of a new home they face different alien races when trying to teraform planets (not strategy game style but actually Halo /ME style futuristic with exploring the gallaxy/universe in process also installing teleporting gates so they can go back into sectors they visited as they are very tech advanced) call the game The Founders or Founders Uniting Milkiway
They should hire me for ideas LOL
I am with you on that man. Did much of last year's E3 leak before it all happened? Did we know about Project Spark and D4 for example? It would suck if we get to find out about all the announcements way before the show happens. Maybe it's a good idea to start a new thread around that time solely meant for posting rumours and leaks on what will happen at E3? And thus leave the Xbox One thread empty of that info?
Not last years with the exception of World of tanks by CBOT.( all his other predictions were wrong. No Prince of Persia, no MS bribing 3rd parties to not show PS4 versions of games etc) the year before though their were a lot of leaks if i remember correctly. I remember one year MS's entire E3 program leaked. On xbox . com no less...
I loved h2, but I want H5 dammit! The only way I'd take 2 is to have everything from dialog to gameplay be overhauled. You know, keep the story and such, but add that more realistic layer that H4 had. Retell to solidify canon.
Maybe not H4s MP though

Neogaf is pretty hilarious. The thread was full of people getting a bit too excited over the leaks. A few of the usual suspects come in with the usual" oh it's nothing special, Forza/Halo/Gear, list wars, nonsense" as well as annoyingly telling anyone who says they are excited about the rumor, that they shouldn't be and PS4 is better.
CBOT posts a negative rumor about Titanfall, the thread is locked when someone from Respawn refutes it( even going as far to invoke a "ban bet" and the thread is closed.) CBOT takes it to twitter where it's corroborated by none other than Thruway. Now all of those tweets are being posted in the xbox rumor thread now. Gotta offset that positivity! What's hilarious is that the last rumor from these guys( X1 launch UI being a complete disaster that wouldn't be fixed for months) turned out to be complete bulls***. UI is far from perfect but not the unusable disaster it was made out to be. Some people never learn.

I think you mean these

It ships with 16 maps he claims, but the textures from the alpha are final. So that would make Respawn liars, cause they said it was like 25% of the 100% textures? This is the stuff that Thuway claims. These guys don't stop eh, haha.
They meant 25% of the PC texture size.
I kid, I kid.
So is now that positive Xbox rumors=true, negative=false over on Gaf? You guys can't have it both ways.

Talking about how Titanfall will be updated :-)

I would give up the blue ray drive for $100 discount, and a bigger harddrive

Interesting. I haven't even used my disc drive. I would get another one for another room. Not too sure on the white though.
Nice bit of info in there. Glad they're not rushing a new Gears game.
Stupid job is stupid! I need more time to post crazy rumors.
In fact they should have their own thread and....oh wait (sigh). *kicks rock*
I saw somewhere Phil said GoW has only been in development for a very short time, and then someone else said it has been 9 months..? Either way it'll be awhile before we see it....although a teaser at E3 would be nice.
He said on GAF that he didn't say they got him, but he seems to think there is some conspiracy and that some notable games journalists are in on it. (See his twitter)
As a matter of fact, famousmortimer is also spouting conspiracy theories, saying he thinks that the Xbox leaker is an MS plant. The leaker also mocked CBOAT saying something along the lines of "you got played like a fiddle" (referring to his texture prediction refuted by Respawn).
Nevertheless, it was hilarious seeing that thread explode. And that supposed Xbox leaker freaking them all out.
Some are saying MS plant but I don't buy it. Why would they ever announce a cheaper version of their console so far in advance? That's not how you move current units. Everything else is pretty much just common sense stuff that we all knew was coming.
Famous first said it wasn't real as of 2 weeks ago, but had to check sources to confirm. Now he just posted this on Twitter confirming.
This has been a wild night.
If all this is true than Microsoft has an amazing few years ahead for the gaming industry.
Quantum Break, Sunset Overdrive, and Halo 2 Anniversary all in 2014.
Wow. That really gives me some hope that these rumors are true. I would really love to see Halo 2 Anniversary and Crackdown 3.
Verge is confirming some of this now (or perhaps is part of the whole charade), guess it was an MS plant after all since they seem to be confirming everything without complaint. They must be really hurting in the PR department to have to blow their load for the next 2 years just to distract people. I kinda feel like this whole thing is grimy and makes me sad for the future of the industry.

They really didn't blow their load. Nothing was announced that we didn't already have an idea was coming. Most of the stuff he broke was confirming release windows/dates for games already announced.
- Forza Horizon: "Fall 2014, probably September. Super sexy weather system and... s*** tons of co-op/social stuff. 1080P and open-world, so you can road trip with your bros."
- White Xbone incoming.
- Why all the leaks? Scared you might get caught? "I am incapable of fear. Plus, this is such exciting stuff, and me talking about it ahead of time isn't going to hurt anything, truthfully. We're all chomping at the bit for it to come out. This is not bad. "
- Halo Anniversary 2 will be 1080p, iffy on the 60fps, maybe not.
- Quantum Break is Holiday 2014
- Multiplayer confirmed for HA2, same devs as Halo Anniversary.
- Sunset Overdrive is Fall 2014
- Is not Phil Spencer
- Black Tusk cancelled project was called "Shangheist." May have involved stealing stuff from the Chinese (though I think that may have been a reference to the name and maybe not the gameplay? Not sure...)
- Fable Legends is Summer 2015
- Halo 2 Anniversary includes beta for Halo 5
- Gears of War will probably need a 2.5 year dev time.
- First Titanfall DLC is 45 days from release, then another one 120 days from release.
- No Crackdown 3 news this year most likely, since it's a 2016 title.
- A list w/dates of the rest of the Tier 2 and Tier 3 countries that Xbone will release in this year.
- No info/idea on what Rare's up to, sadly.
- $399 XB1 this year? "Maybe one without an Optical Disc Drive."
2. They have made white xbox ones already and teased we may seem them a few months ago.
3. Halo 2's resolution is not big news at all
4. Quantum Break in 2014. We knew the game was coming. All he did was confirm this year.
5. Halo 2 has multiplayer. No shocker at all.
6. Sunset Overdrive in Fall 2014. We knew it was coming this year.
7. Name of Black Tusk game
8. Fable legends next year. We knew about the game. Now we have a date.
Everything else is just whatever type of stuff. Spencer has teased Crackdown 3 so many times that people already knew the game was coming at some point.
If you really look at everything this was the perfect controlled leak. We got so much information on things we already knew, but it seemed like fresh things because it was being added to the thing we knew.
From a negative stand point, I agree with you. Seems to me that Microsoft is freaked out about the future. Mattrick's outlook for the xbox brand seems to have f***ed s*** up for them this gen. They are trying all they can to get a positive news out there. I personally think it's great, if the dude is a MS plant. I would love to see a god damn gaming company be way more transparent.
From a positive stand point, if they are willing to give up this much info, their secret s*** hopefully is HUGE.
Well I'd rather have a Kinect-less SKU instead of a drive-less one, hope they come around on that because I want to play Sunset Overdrive, but I'm not interested in all the other stuff the box does. Releasing a unit at price parity with the PS4 would be smart, but not sure why they would leak all these new versions when they have to want to sell off their current inventory first. Something still not jiving with me on this.
Yeah but is leaking stuff on Neogaf anonymously really being transparent?
