Have you seen what sells lately? Maybe Blast Corps would work in an open world, drive anything you see game, but those other two? No way do they sell.

For E3 I'm looking forward to seeing the newer franchises in action but as far as returning ones I'm looking forward to or would want to see are:
Crackdown 3 (or whatever the naming is)
Forza 5
Alan Wake 2
Banjo Kazooie
Perfect Dark
Killer Instinct
Halo
Lost Odyssey 2
And a new, more arcade style racing game or at least something different from Forza along the lines of a Burnout, PGR, or Forza Horizon. I of course would love to see other Rare franchises return like Battletoads, Blast Corps, and Jet Force Gemini but we all know of course that they're just going to sit on those and not make any money.

can't wake up
We're gonna get Forza every year from here on out. It will alternate between Horizon and the sim games.
"The Xbox Business head Don Mattrick told Wall Street Journal that only 5% of gamers play past-generation games on new machines, so it would not make sense to invest time and resource in backward compatibility on the Xbox One, he said 'If you're backwards compatible, you're really backwards'. Xbox One does not support Xbox 360 games and XBLA games."
I find this hard to believe, based on the number of customers I have who bitch about PS2 and XBox compatibility with the PS3 and 360.
Perhaps this late in the generation most people don't care, but at the beginning of a new generation? I don't buy it.
I think he's right from a physical media standpoint, but digital downloads make that a lot more hairy. I'm elated that stuff like D&D and Duck Tales are coming to Steam so that it's not an issue for me this late in the generation.

fak.
Since we know we're not seeing Alan Wake 2, that's exactly the list I want to see from Microsoft too.

Open world Blast Corps would be awesome just wreck stuff down as opposed to Sim City's building things up.
The other two depend on how they're handled, Battletoads would work probably as some sort of XBLA style of game with next gen graphics. Jet Force Gemini, while tricky, could be either done as a similar XBLA game or reworked into taking the 3rd person shooter niche Gears filled for years and so far I think that franchise has been milked pretty dry. Of course, I'd expect re-inventions to it to not make it seem as "kiddy" which they already did with the original but I think that franchise if properly handled and marketed well enough can work towards MS's favor, I just think it's a waste to let the IP just collect dust.
Microsoft should dust off fan favorites and at least try something with them, if they fail then fine but at least make an attempt since I think it would go a long way in courting gamers.
Yay!Since we know we're not seeing Alan Wake 2, that's exactly the list I want to see from Microsoft too.

That looks about right.
