We’re knocking on the door of yet another E3 but without EA and Sony attending a lot of us were worried it could be a bit of a fizzer. Thankfully, the way things are shaping up, that couldn’t be further from the truth. With rumours flying thick and fast E3 2019 seems just as jam-packed as ever, and with just two weeks to go before jumping on a plane to LA here\u00a0are my top reasons that I think you should get excited about E3 too!\u00a0<\/p>\n
Microsoft certainly haven’t been shy when it comes to showing off their cloud prowess with Project xCloud but when it comes to their next console details have been tight lipped.<\/p>\n
What we do know is that they’re working on two models that live under the “Scarlett” code name. One of them is said to be a low budget, disc-less successor to the Xbox S, while the other codenamed “Anaconda” is the company’s high-end successor to the Xbox One X and competitor to Sony’s impending PS5.<\/p>\n
Expect details on exactly what the upcoming consoles will contain along with more about Microsoft’s GameCore OS, which is said to bring Xbox One and PC development even closer together.<\/p>\n
Microsoft are also bringing a little of the E3 experience to Australia and running their fantastic GrE3n Carpet<\/em> event again at select Hoyts cinemas. Attendees get to watch the Xbox Briefing direct from E3 as well as receive a goodie bag upon arrival. There are a bunch of prizes to be won and after that lovely 6am (AEST) start time you can wind down with an included showing of\u00a0X-MEN: Dark Phoenix. Not bad for $20 a ticket, with all proceeds going to the CREATE Foundation<\/a>.<\/p>\n More info: Xbox Rumors at E3 2019 – GameSpot<\/a> People are super excited about this game and look for Ubisoft to dish out just enough to keep that buzz going for another year because we’re certainly not seeing it released soon.<\/p>\n With their big hitter “Skull & Bones” reportedly scratched from the E3 table at the last minute Ubi will be hoping BG&E2 can wow just as big as it did last year.<\/p>\n
