Loving the new Hitman

OH WAIT

 

[CassidyIzABeast]

Lookin good.

 

[BumblebeeCody]

I hope we get Tress FX puddles.

 

[Simply Sami]

Exactly, it's been mostly games so far. Sometimes I don't know what people are expecting out of a Gamescom conference.

Half life 3.

 

[Rolodzeo]

conference has sucked major ass

They had a few good bits, nothing jaw dropping though, everything else was beyond terrible.

 

[deoee]

This is more like Lara Fisher in Tomb Splinter.

 

[Patapwn]

Lol in a room and the guy didnt see here wtf

 

[VanWinkle]

Man, Tomb Raider looks great graphically.

 

[The 8-Bit Raider]

I mean isn't that worse for Microsoft? I do not own one but was thinking about it. This shit isn't helping at all.

Exactly, I'm looking for a good reason to to get an Xbox One but it just doesn't seperate itself enough from the compition for me to justify buying one...oh well, 12 minutes to go...surprise MS, I am willing.

 

[loaf of bread]

This isn't the place to announce new games or drop bombs. Most of the lineup for 2015 and 2016 has been announced already.

Then why is Phil Spencer bullshitting on twitter saying they'll have a bunch of new announcements and such.

 

[JetBlackPanda]

A hind D?

 

[oti]

What thing was supposed to blow all our minds according to that tweet?

DVR

 

[Arkham]

so is xbox elite going to close the show?

1TB Bundle with Elite controller and 1yr XBL for 499?

 

[p3n]

So far this looks EXACTLY like the reboot - from UI to gameplay to stupid AI.

 

[RedAssedApe]

lol...blind ai

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

It seemed pretty light on PS4 games, tbh

 

[Garrett 2U]

they're gonna end on banjo 3, i can feel it

Dude stop.
Don't get my hopes up

 

[ChaosZeroX]

Looks like the Tomb Raider of Us.

 

[Dinda]

What?

 

[Skele7on]

Is that E3 Halo 5 campaign gameplay demo really going to be the only one they showcase before the launch of the game?

Of course there is going to be more, we got Vidocs and a bunch of other cool previews coming soon I would bet.

 

[nib95]

How dynamic is that rain? They said they calculated where every puddle would be on the track. Wha?

It's not dynamic at all. It's pre canned. It's just they worked out where the puddles would have formed accurately, and locked the conditions in based on those. But the actual weather is not dynamic.

Of course there is going to be more, we got Vidocs and a bunch of other cool previews coming soon I would bet.

I don't mean vidoc or trailer snippets, but an actual full gameplay demo. Uninterrupted, from a particular level.

 

[Cheat Code]

You could tell me this was a remaster of the first game and I wouldn't question you.

 

[Frog-fu]

Actually, one of the best Gamescom conferences ever.

Quantum Break and Scalebound seem great, Homefront 2 is a nice surprise, Crackdown 3's all round destruction is interesting, Forza 6 is a powerhouse, lots of indies...

Exactly what-are-you-talking-about?

MS hyped this up to be their E3 Part Deux. A lot of us expected more because of it. Started out fantastic, but they screwed themselves with shit like Halo 5 shoutcasting.

 

[MatrixMan.EXE]

What the fuck? She threw that right in front of his face and he didn't see her do it?

 

[HigherLevel]

The more they show Halo 5 the more set for disappointment I become. Player outlines all over the map? Really? That and a new map were basically all we really got.

The player outlines are only for spectator mode.

 

[Dredd97]

Still looking good though

Exactly what-are-you-talking-about?

I'll give you that on Homefront 2, and I like the reveal of a new cast for Quantum Break but none of the rest of the show is mindblowing, it was pretty much a yawn fest actually. Sorry to have a different opinion.

 

[ssgoku_iu]

this is remastered tomb raider ?

 

[Sydle]

And then she takes on a T-Rex!

That would make this so much more interesting.

I'm looking forward to this game a lot, but I didn't need to see this.

This better not be the end of the conference.

 

[Skeff]

And then she takes on a T-Rex!

I remember killing a dragon with a dagger... Tomb raider changed.

 

[TimeEffect]

The more they show Halo 5 the more set for disappointment I become. Player outlines all over the map? Really? That and a new map were basically all we really got.

Wait, is that a new feature? Seeing teammates through walls? They added that in since last time we saw MP footage?

Edit: Oh just for spectator mode. DOnt scare me like that

 

[DNAbro]

Did Lara just shoot two arrows at the same time?

 

[Pez]

I was on the fence about Tomb Raider, but it's cross-gen roots definitely show in this demo. It looks like it was designed for last gen consoles.

Lame, disappointing. =(

 

[Frozenprince]

Oh wow that audio toggle synch.

Seriously I hate audio overlay.

 

[AgentP]

Lots of TLoU nods, throwing cans to distract.

 

[Easy_D]

Tomb Raider looks like more of the same in nearly every single way. Disappointing

 

[mocoworm]

Then why is Phil Spencer bullshitting on twitter saying they'll have a bunch of new announcements and such.

Chatpad, DVR, Scalebound co-op ...

 

[Pie and Beans]

Thats not how arrows work.

 

[Ricky Ricardo]

So when did this modern Lara turn into a superhe-

Oh yeah.

What does this even mean?

 

[Scientist Supreme!]

Is this a tomb raider game? Like what is this?

 

[BlazingDarkness]

But where is the tomb raiding, she's just killing dudes...

 

[KarmaCow]

So far this looks EXACTLY like the reboot - from UI to gameplay to stupid AI.

Not sure what you were expecting.

 

[kevin1025]

A hind D?

We think alike.

 

[ironcreed]

So much hate, but all I see are a bunch of great games and features.

 

[Bitch Pudding]

Two-arrow strike. Legolas would be impressed.

 

[LordBaztion]

I hope that double headshot is a late game skill.

 

[Journey]

Not really changing the opinion that Xbox is the "shootbang console" here.

Opinions are like assholes.

 

[Lemonte]

damn Lara is brutal killing machine.

 

[glaringradio]

This isn't exactly inspiring. When a stealth section has AI this dumb, you would be better off just not putting it in the game and using the resources to make everything else better.

 

[RyudBoy]

Rain effects look sick!
