After the very busy week of news announcements from Microsoft last week, including the Halo 5: Guardians reveal and the Kinect-less Xbox One bundle coming in June, Xbox’s Phil Spencer promises even more. Microsoft has been suffering from some bad press lately due to many gamers favoring the PS4 and the lasting effects of Microsoft’s previous plans for the Xbox One. However, Spencer is attempting to turn things around by giving us nothing but good news. On Twitter, he outlined several details regarding the recent announcements:
This was a good week, we got a lot done and announced. More to come.
There are a few things coming prior to E3. Show is getting set so easier to see what we want to talk about prior.
Spencer also explains what he has planned for the E3 presentation itself:
Wanted to make the show entertaining. Some special things I want to show so needed to do some things early.
The lineup at E3 looks good. A couple of things we are still trying to land but it’s coming together.
I know we’ll never please everyone. Having some new partners on stage, some old friends and knowing XBOX gamers are watching is fun
Despite the new Kinect-less bundle, Spencer still emphasizes the continued support for the peripheral:
You will see new Kinect games and work from platform on Kinect.
Harmonix have been great supporters of XBOX and I want to make sure their games do very well.
All in all, Spencer is building up the hype for the E3 press conference which we likely be jam packed with gameplay showcases and unannounced new titles. It’s good to know that not everything that was revealed last week, or will be revealed before E3, is all we’ll see at E3. Microsoft perhaps wanted to get some news out of the way to both build hype for their presentations as well as leave room for other exciting reveals. We’ll see soon enough when E3 rolls around next month.
