More Thoughts From Me #121: Microsoft Will Shock Us At E3 2018

Microsoft has been playing it safe lately. Too safe. They just keep letting third parties take the lead and keep releasing revisions of the Xbox One. And they are lagging behind Playstation and the Switch. Microsoft needs to shake things up. And so, here are my wild and most likely completely wrong predictions of what they’ll do at E3 to shock us all.

There will be no new Xbox hardware at E3 2018. Instead, Microsoft will pummel us with reasons why we should have an Xbox One X already gosh darn it.

The first game to be shown will be Bioware’s upcoming game Anthem. New footage, new gameplay, and a release date. Then we’ll see the brand new Forza game with footage. After that, things just go off the rails!

Gears of War will get a reboot with colorful graphics and huge battlefields to explore. This game will shock you with how different it is from previous games. You’ll still be able to hide behind stuff though.

After that, Fable will make a return with a massive world to explore and beautiful graphics. Gamers have never seen a game like this. It might be a 2019 or beyond title.

Splinter Cell will get a big spotlight. There’s been a rumor that Sam Fisher will return and it will turn out to be true! This game is a reboot too. There will be actual gameplay. No date though.

Two new titles will be shown, in a row, that will shock and cause Xbox fans to question Microsoft’s sanity. One of them will look a lot like a Mario game and the other will be slightly Pokemon like. But the gameplay for both will be nuts. Nintendo will wonder if they should sue or just be jealous.

Rare has a new game that will surprise everyone. It has no pirates.

And finally, a new Halo game that’ll just freak everyone out. Part horror, part sci-fi, and a giant dragon at the end. Master Chief is ready to rock.

People will start buying Xbox One X after this E3. I think it’ll be a big one for Microsoft. Even if all my predications are wrong (and they probably are), there is no doubt in my mind that Microsoft will give Sony and Nintendo a run for their money this E3.

Oh and I didn’t even tell you my prediction for the presentation of this E3 for Microsoft. Opps. I’m out of time! Sorry.

What do you think? Will any of my predictions come true? What do you think Microsoft will show this E3??

Next week: My predictions for Nintendo’s E3. Absolutely bonkers and totally wrong. Can’t wait to share them with you!

More Thoughts From Me is an opinion column. The thoughts expressed here are mine and mine alone. I do think Halo will totally be there. Not sure about the rest!
