Well was not expecting anything extraordinary but at least the announcement of TR exclusivity made me laugh a bit.

I hope Sony brings something surprising later .

Why are you reading my tag instead of the title of my post?
QB, Holiday 2015?
Anyway, mehhhhhhh. I'm going back to sleep. For another 3 hours so I can watch yet another conference. Seems like we really do know MS's entire lineup for the next 2 years.
 
Pretty bad conference for me personally, don't really care for racing games so Forza Horizon did nothing for me. What I did like was Quantum Break, and Ori. Tomb Raider exclusive to Xbox One is a weird thing to see nowadays. Won't take much for Sony to top this conference.

Not a bad conference in terms of content and flow..

but nothing really for me.

Sony will probably do the same too tho.

I am wondering what is there rage induce moment tho
 
That was a good conference to be honest, It was boring abit at the start but then things got great. Didn't expect such a long conference for a gamescom briefing lol.

Edit: Next up Sony, Can't wait.
 
1) Square Enix continues to be fucking shit
2) Quantum Break still looks good but that probably wasn't a good stage demo
3) ID@Xbox (and also PC)
4) Sunset Overdrive blue-orange contrast is too good and I'll probably get the bundle
5) I can't believe the thing I'm looking forward to the most is a remake of 4 games, and I only care about Halo 1-3. Trilogy +1?

+1 because that is exactly how I felt. A 4/10 conference for me though. Glad I skipped 30 minutes of it (apparently).

I do think their exclusive 2014 holiday line-up is better than PS4 overall, though.

That's a tough one for me. Probably depends somewhat on whether you count LBP3 as exclusive or not, since it's on PS3 and PS4 (but is, of course, only on Playstation platforms)
 
Still angry about Tomb Raider. :/

The rest of the show was good.
People have way too high expectations nowadays.
It´s almost impossible to have an "amazing" show.

Man surely that's not the final announcement!

Pretty disappointing tbh, Sunset Overdrive looks like fun, Halo looks like Halo and the Tomb Raider exclusive just seems bizarre.

MS historically aren't strong at Gamescom. TR was probably the biggest thing they've announced in a long time.

Dissapointed that they've still not really given much use for the HDMI-in port in Europe.
 
Indies were great. I love that MS is footing some bills on those smaller dudes and giving them time.

The TR fiasco is what it is, but remember, it happens in this form of media. Nobody escapes blame here. That being said, an odd choice, considering it's TR.

Where the fuck was Scalebound?

SO looks like it's missing something. That human isn't catching me like it should.

BUNDLES YOU GUISE LIKE BUNDLES?

If you are a Halo fan, enjoy. If not, fuck you.
 
Well now, that was really underwhelming.

The games that looked good before still looked good, but Screamride being the only new game announcement in a 90 minute conference is just pitiful.

TR exclusive was megaton though, so can't really complain too much, but it will be easy for Sony to top this.

outside of the Tomb Raider WTF, a fairly quiet briefing

- Quantum Break isn't breaking any moulds, but it is a style of game I enjoy and it is a day one for me.
- Forza Horizon 2 is also a must-buy, but they didn't really show anything that made me want it more or less - they had me at E3
- Tomb Raider is still insane. Played and finished the game on both PC and PS4, so to not have the next game on either of those platforms just seems odd

Alongside the media player announcement from Major Nelson/Albert, it looks like a pretty solid end of year for MS. Personally I'm not that bothered about Sunset Overdrive or Halo but I realise I'm probably in the minority for that.
