What to expect at this year's E3

This year is Microsoft's chance to show what the Xbox One is truly capable of. We've already seen the excellent Quantum Break from developer Remedy Entertainment this year, and, indeed, the company has a new focus on original, exclusive games. Cases in point: the cel-shaded pirate simulator Sea of Thieves, the robotic mystery of ReCore and a long-awaited return to Halo's strategy roots with Halo Wars 2. There's also the chance we could hear more about Inside, from Limbo developer Playdead, and maybe, just maybe, Crackdown 3 and the newly leaked and zombie-focused Dead Rising 4 and State of Decay 2. That's to say nothing of Below from Capybara Games or Tacoma from Fullbright -- both of which have been running under the radar in terms of media access. There are also rumors that Microsoft will have new hardware to show off, including a microconsole that accesses games and apps like Netflix from your Xbox One. Given the work that Microsoft has put into Xbox-to-PC streaming, this doesn't seem farfetched.
