- Better year for keeping secrets "secret"
- Recore is playable at their offices, he played it the Friday before E3
- Halo 5 free maps was a 343 decision, so doesn't seem like a blanket decision over all MS first party games
- Twisted Pixel will show when ready basically, doesn't really commit to Gamescom either, said the same about Inside (from Playdead) too
- Backwards compatibility was something he commissioned the team to do when he took over the head of Xbox job, wasn't sure if it would even work and hit a break through in January. First party are all in with their games, they need to lead the way. Mentions 360 GwG as back compat titles
- Doesn't sound like a 3rd Forza franchise is coming "not right now", he said Horizon does "incredibly well" for them. Team might have ideas but they're busy right now
- Asked about the sort of games missing from the line-up that they're looking at and he mentioned Moba-likes and F2P MMOs, said Neverwinter is doing very well, also referred to Sea of Thieves a "large scale co-op" game rather than an MMO
- Fable Legends doesn't stop LH doing a more "traditional" Fable game
- Xbox 360 is the biggest market base to upgrade and BC/big exclusives are to try and get those people to upgrade
- BC doesn't stop them doing remasters (was asked about Halo Reach specifically) but nothing to announce/planned with HR
- More Kinect games coming unannounced from 3rd parties etc, making sure they're investing in the technology to make it better

Yup, sometimes it's slow as all hell. Like sometimes the achievements page will just crash and i'll have to quit out of it and reload it. Get it running flawlessly and we're good.
Awesome. I would like to see a new traditional Fable game and see some of its story / support characters showing up in Fable Legends.
I would like to see a proper RPG Fable.
Same world, same art, same humour, just with a more fleshed out combat system and Good RPG trees that make a difference.
I would bet that Fable IV will be in development and Fable Legends is laying the ground work and tech for this,
I'd like to see the fable they talked about before the first one even came out.
Cool to know that Recore is playable there in the offices, but what good does that do for us? 
Tell us if it will be at GC. Nah, we'll find out then.

Had a scare today. My Xbox One wouldn't turn. Just had to unplug the power brick and plug it back in though. I would have cried.
So my X1 left North Wales on Monday morning via the UPS depot. It has travelled to Germany been repaired/replaced and is on the way back to me. Probably get it Monday. Very much pleased with this. I think it must have been replaced as it was in the facility less than a day....... Roll on Monday as I am missing my box..
Even if it meant upgrading to the 1TB and getting some free games?
So for anyone who has Splash TV. I found out how to improve performance and playback for the service. Now its much better. I was going to end the service once my free month was up but I think I'll keep it.
Anyhow: Setting >Bandwidth Limiting> High Quality setting 2.5. Works like a charm....

Same here. Though i wouldn't mind if it took this gen off altogether while Lionhead concentrates on the new IP they are working on and Fable Legends. One thing i notice with the Fable sequels is as it becomes more modern ( with 3 being full on Steampunk) there are noticeably less magical creatures etc in Albion, yet it's never really acknowledged in the game's story. Assuming a Fable 4 game isn't a prequel and keeps with the Steampunk thing, i think it would be cool if the story centered around the rise of technology and it's effect on the more fantasy/magical aspects of the world. Maybe there is some sort of conflict between humans and the more magical races and creatures of Albion who feel threatened by this as their numbers are dropping. Give the main character the option to pick a side in the conflict . I dunno just an idea...
I havn't seen any USB powered eternal drives with a capacity of 4TB. Where did you buy this? The most I've seen are 2TB.
I got a 4 TB USB powered external drive
The Seagate® Backup Plus Fast Portable Drive performs at up to 2× the speed of other portable hard drives, delivering some of the fastest data transfer speeds - up to 220MB/s.
- The highest capacity 2.5-inch portable hard drive on the market

Works like a charm, and it's nearly as fast as my SSD drive .
I got the Seagate 4TB and a 1 TB SSD drive connected to the One
Even if it meant upgrading to the 1TB and getting some free games?
Yeah, lol. Well when you start a game like The Witcher 3 then you think your console is broken.. I hate that. My 360 got the RROD like 3 days after i started playing GTA IV.
I finally got around to watching Microsofts gameplay trailers in MP4 format on Gamersyde. I have to say that watching on my TV as opposed to my phone really made the games look so much better.
Halo 5 looks awesome. But I did notice aliasing that I hope gets fixed or minimized.
Gears 4 looks damn good. Probably the most visually striking game from Microsoft imo. I loved the atmosphere, textures and lighting in the context of what the area was. This is what Resident Evil should look like.
Gears U looks great.
And Sea of Thieves looks amazing to me. Pure Rare. Simple, but clean and charming.
Forza 6 looks insane at 1080p/60 in video form.
A lot of people say that Forza5/6 looks cartoony because of the colors. I think that's the wrong term to describe the visuals. I think it's more arcadey. Like I could imagine Forza 6 in a big arcade cabinet somewhere. It's awesome. Not every game needs to be photorealistic to be beautiful.

That's probably the one thing i did not take into account to be honest. I was far from impressed with the footage myself, but then i had high expectations and to be blown away. Like i was with the first Gears back then, like i was with two PS4 games this E3. Gears 4 just did not wow me, but i have to realize it's almost more than 1.5 years away from release.
Call me crazy, but I'd prefer Fable to maintain being a casual experience. There's enough hardcore RPGs out there.
Yup! For me put into context i was impressed by it going by just how early it was. Especially the intro. E3 2016 will be the true showing.
One thing I've noticed about the Witcher 3 is when I'm playing that game the amount of heat coming off of the top of the Xbox it is warm enough to set a napkin on fire literally. Lol. I have never noticed my xbox running that warm for any other game. I'm 45 hours into the Witcher 3 so if something were to overheat it would have done it by now.
I've found watching the vids on X1's dashboard better than any internet stream. You'd think a PC stream would be better as opposed to a console stream, but the colours, and speed seem better on X1.
I haven't done a Gamersyde 60 fps download in a while, but they are top notch. Good to see that site finally getting some attention. They've been doing various quality streams/downloads for years, but only in the past year or two finally getting people talking about them.
Yeah, I've been a member at Gamersyde for almost Ten years now, I think (back when it was xboxyde). I used to post there a lot, then the atmosphere got too sour when this gen started. Just too much negativity on the xbox related threads. There are still some good guys over there though.
Any one having trouble launching games on x1 .I've done the 10 sec restart but none of my games will launch
25 sec for a hard reset bro. The light on your power brick should turn orange first.
