E3 2013: Microsoft Studios Roundup - Minecraft, D4, Project Spark

Phil Harrison has showcased a number of exclusive games from Microsoft Studios that will hope to energise interest into the platform. Minecraft, Quantum Break, D4 and Project Spark.

To begin, Minecraft: Xbox One Edition promises bigger maps, more multiplayer options and greater opportunities to pack your worlds full of pixelly things. This was followed by a 'gameplay scene' from Quantum Break, which seemed more like a cutscene, impressive as it was. It involved the protagonists investigating an office block in stasis.

Swery65, of Dead Premonition game, is working on an episodic murder mystery game called D4. Rare showed a trailer for a new Killer Instinct game, and Microsoft Studios introduced a game that will aim to compete with Sony's LittleBigPlanet - Project Spark. Using Kinect, Smartglass and traditional controller inputs, you can easily build a game world, characters and gameplay rules to easily create content.
