So, no new games, huh?

Great thing with bundles, but i still can't find a good reason to buy an Xbox One. For me looks like they are pretty much fucked now, with no new nothing.

BTW need to rewatch the Quantim Break gameplay. Was kinda weird to me, lol.

Alright conference, but that's not enough now.

oh wow lol

So for the COD bundle you get for free the paintjob and the custom controller.

And a bigger HDD. Its an unusual bundle since the XBO was already not selling at that price. Maybe this one will sell better.

 

[DjRalford]

Just saw the price. 100 dollars for 500 GB MS? I guess that confirms Sunset Overdrive bundle is 500 GB. Guess I will wait until the holiday where it may get discounted.

A 1TB would cost about £10 more. So just showing 1TB on the box as an excuse for the COD price bump I guess.

 

[Tripp Daily]

Is anyone watching the post show? The sanctuary map looks really nice.

 

[TheSlySoul]

So COD is worth $100 and Sunset Overdrive is worth nothing?

If you look, the CoD bundle has a 1 TB drive instead of 500 GB, which is why they priced it $100 more. Granted, I think that is really dumb in this age where you can get 2 TB HDD for like 30 bucks. Then again, remember the outrageous prices MS charged for 360 HDDs? Seems like they never learned their lesson.

I will pick up the Sunset Bundle discounted to $350.

I thought this "best place to play" was sony's slogan.

We're taking it back?

Sanctuary looking pretty good. It'll be new to me.

Holy shit, really?

 

[Nightengale]

Well, I thought their e3 was great. One of their best in years. But they didn't really show anything this gamescom. Qb looked great but that was about it.

Considering MS's previous year track records with Gamescom, this was pretty good.

 

[zhao3gold]

So COD is worth $100 and Sunset Overdrive is worth nothing?

1TB console......

 

[Skele7on]

that was a better show than E3.


Cannot wait to see what Sony does later.

 

[Caayn]

Come one dual wield the needler, show dual wield.

Graphics look pretty good.

Sony's one is "Where the greatest play - Greatness awaits"

They used the "Best place to play" last year.

I thought I was the only one, but it looks really good, the water effects look awesome.

 

[Ubersnug]

Is anyone watching the post show? The sanctuary map looks really nice.

Especially the water and those vista's. Beautiful!

 

[Begaria]

That was a good show. That Tomb Raider announcement really caught everyone off guard. Lots of exclusive content to multiplatform games to. Microsoft is definitely flexing that money muscle.

 

[T.O.P]

it really is

 

[freefornow]

So many drive by posts. GAF never disappoints

 

[TheRealTalker]

Wow Tomb Raider became a XO exclusive

MS snatched a big game

 

[BruceLeeRoy]

I missed Quantum Break how was it!?

 

[VaizardNL]

Great conference tbh. But like some others have said; I was expecting one more big announcement at the end when Phil walked off quite slowly. I was furthermore expecting something different than pre-loading, but that is something that just isn't important to me but might be to others.

One more thing is that I don't think people should be worried about Tomb Raider being exclusive. If it is completely exclusive there is no point in saying "2015". Thus the game will come in 2016 to other systems.

Is anyone watching the post show? The sanctuary map looks really nice.

I agree, looks really great.

 

[JetSetRadio]

Nothing interesting announced for me there.
Might still grab a sunset overdrive bundle with forza horizon 2, although there aren't any exclusives I really want to play. Multiplats obviously on PS4. Should probably wait untill E3 next year.

 

[bedlamite]

Good conference overall. Horizon 2 hooked me at E3, that split-second footage of the night-time town driveby drove that hook deeper in. Sunset continues to look great. More bundles is always nice.

 

[Altima]

Halo 2 Anniversary Graphic look a lot worse than I expected.

No money for you this year, Microsoft.

 

[Ray Wonder]

And i didn't even blast QB for being a cover shooter.

Im the exact market MS are trying to impress, Big gamer with money to spend, MS have had 4 confs since Xbox One was a thing, not once have they made me think 'yeah i want a one now'. I came away from that even more repelled from the console.

What's wrong with a cover shooter? If it's a fun cover shooter there is nothing wrong with that.

I doubt anything MS shows ever will impress you.

 

[MCD]

I missed Quantum Break how was it!?

good graphics, boring gameplay.

it was like watching someone play on easy zzz.

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

Everything was 60fps.

 

[ekim]

I missed Quantum Break how was it!?

Graphically amazing. Gameplay consisted of your average third person cover shooter with the twist of manipulating time. I liked it.

 

[Nightengale]

I missed Quantum Break how was it!?

Looks pretty, but not that great.

Time-stop mechanics are nice, but they're not major mechanics leap. It's basically limited time-control powers which allows you stuff like dashing quickly, creating bubbles where bullets stop/release with concentration,etc.

Major time-stops ( aka the one we see at the reveal trailer )... are set-pieces. Not actual in-game mechanics.

Aka TPS with gimmicks.

Really? You can only do so much with texture and shader upgrades, even then I think it looks great.

Show me on the doll, where did MS touch you?

 

[Doctoglethorpe]

I'd be more interested in QB if you could drop the gun and just run around beating people up like The Flash.

 

[kevin1025]

I am super excited for Horizon 2. Played the hell out of the first one, this one looks even cooler.

 

[Sid]

Nice!

It looks a lot better than the original.

Not on the wallet thats for sure.

I feel bad for laughing at this.

But holy shit. Too soon man.

 

[Loxley]

Forza Horizon 2 looking great.

 

[GYNGA]

Oh wow it's actually trademarked. MS's lawyers better be ready

 

[ethomaz]

Well not speechless.

Zzzzz.
It was like Alan Wake - pretty but dull as shit.

I thought it looked interesting. Don't kill me though.

 

[KiDdYoNe]

Oh yeah, ScreamRide!

Looked interesting to watch, but what the fuck? Roller Coaster "PAIN" type game?

 

[Caayn]

Oh wow it's actually trademarked. MS's lawyers better be ready

Another pointless lawsuit in coming >.>

 

[aravuus]

So there was no one last announcement? Well that was boring

Did it look more like Max Payne with the time shift stuff? Was he really agile?

 

[TheRealTalker]

when will MS upload their presser?

 

[Shrewder]

FH2. The weather affects your vehicle, but slamming into an oncoming vehicle at over 100mph...not so much.
