[Regret Upon Approval]

I missed a bunch of it. Any highlights? Any upcoming BC titles confirmed?

Still crazy to see the difference in xbox attitudes between Phil and his predecessor

He is good at his job, knows what to say. Like actually talk about playing games and how to PR.
Which is significant because his predecessor was really was bad at it. Like those several foot-in-mouth remarks E3 2013. Remember Mattrick's backwards compatibility remark?

 

[Brashnir]

My main worry is publishers who don't give a damn. Like will Capcom bother to allow Dragon's Dogma to be played? What about games who were owned by defunct companies/publishers and whose rights didn't get picked up? A publisher needing to approve could hold back a lot of games.

"that shit totally works and is awesome, but fuck you we have a HD remaster coming out next year."

 

[JJDubz]

343 ughhhhhhhhhhhh

 

[Megasoum]

Again, that only says it's free. You still need a account (even if its a fancy new win10 xbox account) of some kind, so the game's will be tied to said account, so it's gfwl2.

GFWL was also free by the way

You need an account to run Windows since Windows 8... It's all the same account, it's all linked together.

 

[Dizzy-4U]

woah the fuck is this? Heavy Metal?

Cool World

I just don't want to deal with any framework Microsoft has created whether it's free or you need an account or whatever. Just like I don't want to deal with u play or Rockstar social whatever. Pull your crap out of the game and just put it on steam.

[TharpDaddy]

I'm more worried about all the publishers (including MS apparently, because if it's so seemless why are almost all Microsoft titles missing from the list) saying no because they want to reserve the right to release an HD remaster later.

That's also a big worry. A publisher might hold off giving the green light even if they have no plans to do a remaster just because they want the option in the future. I really hope it turns out well, I still have no idea how games with no right holders will work. An example is Kingdoms of Amalur. No one bought the ip iirc so will it never be approved for backwards compatibility?

[justjim89]

Ugh... 343 is always a terrible segment,

 

[ryan299]

That guy is just throwing the drinks back. lmao

 

[daydream]

 

[Eraser_Arcade]

All this Windows 10 talk reminds me that I still need to make a disk image of my c drive, & perhaps look into purchasing either Win 7 or 8 Professional.

 

[Mister Negative]

I remember when I used to look forward to 343 segments.

Then they burned me.

 

[Megasoum]

I hope Jeff ask 343 MCC questions lol.

 

[Rhaknar]

I'm on win7 actually, didn't know you needed a account on 8

 

[Karak]

Wait they are on. I just have Star Wars replaying

 

[Jintor]

Cool World maybe?

Cool World

Cool World I think?

cool, i'll look it up, thanks all

/edit oh apparently it's terrible

Isn't that kind of stuff already expected for newer versions of Windows? I dunno much about Windows 10, but I'm currently running Windows 7, because after I bought Windows 8.1, I hated it. Beyond the glitchyness that I got in games that I never have in W7, I remember it always demanded that I log in with my microsoft account, which is the same thing I use for xbox live.

 

[petethepanda]

(Do doo, do do do)

 

[Wunder]

hey a lady1

 

[m_shortpants]

I wonder if Jeff is gonna roast them for MCC

 

[valeo]

And his reasons were valid as a gamer it wasn't his thing exactly. Many of us felt that way or liked one game but not the other. It seems like if you don't shit yourself your a killjoy.

The strange thing to me is that I think he's been positive about quite a lot of games - Just Cause 3, Horizon, he got excited about Hololens etc.; people ignore that, though.

 

[TheAbsolution]

Last segment.

 

[Etnos]

can you truly ever know what firewatch is?

yes

you gonna walk around, you gonna dialogue tree, you gonna solve puzzles

also mystery and emotion

 

[ReturnOfTheRAT]

Good thing this is a classy set this year.

 

[Hyrule Warrior]

cool, i'll look it up, thanks all

Eh, I don't think you should bother, it really ended up being terrible I remember.

 

[BreezyLimbo]

cool, i'll look it up, thanks all

/edit oh apparently it's terrible

I think it's Cool World

 

[Wingfan19]

cool, i'll look it up, thanks all

/edit oh apparently it's terrible

All I remember of it was the ad for the video game version in my old issues of GamePro magazine when I was a kid.

 

[Bsigg12]

Good thing this is a classy set this year.

That squarespace money

 

[SteveWinwood]

cool, i'll look it up, thanks all

it's awful

has a really young Brad Pitt though

It's just one more layer of shit that breaks and they'll never fix and it'll all be fucked up in 2 years.

 

[Gnome]

Ropes.

 

[Karak]

Whats going on? I have a long line of commercials but it sounds lik you guys are seeing a segament?

 

[Chuck]

i haven't watched any of this til now, just three guest segments???

 

[Rhaknar]

Steve knows what's up

 

[demidar]

The guy in the middle looks like he's gonna stab a dude.

 

[daydream]

wattam is fun to say

wattaahhhm

 

[Brashnir]

Giant Bomb #15 | Tiny and Joyful

 

[BTM]

The guy in the middle looks like he's gonna stab a dude.

That's our resident Stinkles

 

[Gnome]

i haven't watched any of this til now, just three guest segments???

Seems that way. One segment was able to squeeze 4 people on the couch.

 

[petethepanda]

Halo and Wattam, such an awesomely dissonant combo.

 

[Brashnir]

The guy in the middle looks like he's gonna stab a dude.

Frankles don't fuck around.

 

[valeo]

There is a Flash villain at e3?

 

[cb1115]

Well right now it's more like it's convienant enough for them that they can get away with it. Cross-platform play between fighting games isn't really an issue. Hell, SFV is doing it. Racing games also shouldn't be an issue. I'd expect Sunset Overdrive and an original Forza game to make it over next. Gears of War Ultimate on PC is seriously a remastered port of a Vista exclusive port. Where it gets irky is with Halo, they're probably gonna wanna keep that on XBOne

But these consoles definitely aren't going away for a while. The competition between PS4 and XBOne is definitely alive and well and the consoles are still selling.

yup, both consoles are doing well and it seems like the big exclusives are finally in sight. shit, the PS4 is still selling stupid numbers even without big exclusives. consoles aren't going anywhere anytime soon.

 

[Megasoum]

That's actually Phil Harrisson's American cousin.

 

[demidar]

That's our resident Stinkles

Had an inkling it was him.

So someone's gonna get stabbed on set.

 

[HotHamWater]

Someone should ask Frankie how much IO Interactive pays him for his likeness.

 

[DrBaalzamon]

Frankie is awesome. I met him at the Seattle meetup a few years ago - he bought abunch of neogaf people shots. Total class dude.

 

[adamantypants]

MOBA influence? I'm out

 

[Mister Negative]

Whoa, that's really cool. AI programmer to game developer.
