Halo Wars 2 HYPE!

 

[redcrayon]

What I don't get is why does Lara has to re-learn all the skills she learned previously?

Probably for the same reason Megaman starts his tenth adventure without any of the dozens of weapons he's absorbed previously, and why Samus doesn't start Metroid Prime with a couple of dozen nukes up her sleeve.

 

[Summer Haze]

Ark: Survival Evolved was the most interesting thing of the entire show for me.

 

[Conrad Link]

Well, all I need to know is can I flag juggle in Halo Wars 2?

CLUTCH!

 

[tait269]

I'll give that a 8.5/10. Crackdown 3 baby

 

[Anno]

Seemed like a cool conference. Lots of games across basically every production level and a good number being published on W10 as well. Not sure why people would be disappointed unless they just wanted to see one specific thing.

 

[Kiyo]

Only really interested in Scalebound and Tomb Raider from this conference, at least in terms of xbox exclusive games. Conference had a bit of something for most people, but it had a lot of slow points and the halo esports thing was awful. 6/10 conference.

 

[Skele7on]

Funny thing is at least Microsoft brought a conference to gamescom.

 

[RoyalLaFlame]

Yeah, 9/10 conference. Weak middle but overrall amazing conference.

 

[DrROBschiz]

The lack of any big surprises was kind of a bummer.

That Halo 5 console looks pretty neat though.

I dunno

Halo Wars might be a nice surprise for some people


Either way no one can argue that Microsoft doesnt have solid software to stand on at this point

I might be in once they announce a slim remodel but maybe not.

 

[LastOne2100]

It's coming on PC. That is why, a lot of us are happy.

Yeah but on PC there are much better RTS games already that won't be held back by the controller requirement.

 

[Lucumo]

They said Xbox One as well

Halo Wars 2 sounds promising and I would be lying if I said Dark Souls 3 didn't look good but otherwise it was a meh conference

Talking about his "PC" part obviously.

 

[Steverulez]

I'm trying to understand what people expected to be announced that they're so disappointed with the conference. I thought it was great overall. Were people really expecting a surprise Rare game?

Apparently.

Good show, Scalebound/QB/Crackdown 3 all looked great.

Halo Wars 2 was a nice announcement, they got a good developer in Creative Assembly, KI Season 3 isn't a huge surprise but good announcement.

 

[super-heated plasma]

Thank you 343, thank you. Halo Wars 2 was one of my biggest gaming wishes ever. I am more excited for that than any other game in 2016. My cousin and I still play the first one.

 

[Bsigg12]

is there a windows daily today, or does it start tomorrow? I really hope they run through what the new dashboard will look like

The Xbox Daily stuff starts tomorrow.

 

[HORRORSHØW]

underwhelming presser like scalebound

highlights: quantum break, tomb raider, we happy few, and dark souls 3

 

[chaobreaker]

 

[cartoon_soldier]

Happy with conference.

2015 lineup was known already.

QB looked great, Scalebound looked ok, hope to see a lot more. Crackdown will be fun, may not he a masterpiece. Some of the indie stuff looked good too.

Halo Wars 2 I will probably get on PC.

 

[BTM]

Superb conference. The big 3 from 2016 all looked great to me. Really don't understand all the negativity

 

[GitarooMan]

Holiday 2016 already looking pretty good. Gears 4, Scalebound, Halo Wars 2

 

[TheCowboyPoet]

Another underwhelming Microsoft conference.

 

[D4Danger]

Yeah this conference sucks!

Sony won Gamescom, sorry MS, maybe next year.

your ps4 is getting cool stuff too. you don't have to be so bitter.

 

[Simply Sami]

The lack of any big surprises was kind of a bummer.

That Halo 5 console looks pretty neat though.

Big surprises? What were people expecting?

They announcing mainly their 2016 stuff on this show. Anything 2017 will be announced at E3 next year.

 

[Dynasty8]

Really glad I'm staying on the ps4. Generic exclusives, no thanks.

But in Sonys corner it doesn't look better :/

Man...you really are hard to impress. Both companies have amazing games coming in the next 2 years.

 

[Duffman]

Dark Souls 3 looked great.

 

[LastNac]

Frankie.

You are my hero.

Thank you so, so much.

 

[Castef]

Yeah but on PC there are much better RTS games

...

 

[Jrs3000]

Yeah but on PC there are much better RTS games already that won't be held back by the controller requirement.

Im thinking mouse an keyboard will be useable on xb1 for this game. There's talk of them getting mouse support.

 

[matrixman92]

i honestly dont know what people want anymore. There are people saying that nothing here interests them. They hit like every genre, even RTS which is almost extinct on consoles

 

[RedNumberFive]

I dunno

Halo Wars might be a nice surprise for some people


Either way no one can argue that Microsoft doesnt have solid software to stand on at this point

I might be in once they announce a slim remodel but maybe not.

It was a solid showing, but mostly games we already knew existed. I was just hoping for a few more surprises other than Battletoads in KI and Halo Wars 2.

 

[soul_zora]

Where are the moderators.. there is a lot of irrational hate and trolling in this thread an no one is doing something... this is a perfect time to clean this foro from those toxic sony fans that are affecting gaf reputation.

 

[kevin1025]

Ark: Survival Evolved was the most interesting thing of the entire show for me.

It's well loved on PC, I'm definitely going to dive into the Xbox One version.

 

[Wizman23]

Really glad I'm staying on the ps4. Generic exclusives, no thanks.

But in Sonys corner it doesn't look better :/

The console warriors in this thread are just FUCKING SAD

 

[Robaperas]

I liked the DkSIII trailer, QB gameplay, and the infinite amount of cringe the esport commentators delivered.

 

[oti]

Scalebound is my highlight. I'm willing to give Quantum Break and Crackdown 3 a try but I don't know. Both look kinda meh. The Halo eSports segments was unbelievably bad and I don't really care about Halo Wars. No price cut either...

 

[SuperSonic1305]

Yeah but on PC there are much better RTS games already that won't be held back by the controller requirement.

But do other PC RTS games have a guy that says ALL UNITS? Checkmate.

 

[Trago]

The time could have been cut down, but overall pretty good conference.

The only real disappointment is Scalebound's frame rate, which will likely improve closer to release.

Xbox's lineup is looking really good now.

 

[Garlador]

I'm not sure if it was Microsoft's intent, but they sold me far more on just getting a gaming PC than an Xbox One.

 

[Shpeshal Nick]

2016 exclusive lineup is pretty ridiculous.

 

[Chezzymann]

Pretty gd conference. Interested in quantum break and halo wars 2

 

[cripterion]

Funny thing is at least Microsoft brought a conference to gamescom.

The competitor doesn't need it, they have shown good stuff before. Seriously I don't want to make this about A vs B but Microsoft aren't exactly in a top position when it comes to their console, especially in Germany so I thought they would be bringing heavy announcements here.

 

[RexNovis]

Scalebound revealed as a JRPG and Dark Souls 3 gameplay reveal were definitely the highlights of the show for me. TBH before the conference u couldn't have cared less about Scalebound but now I can't wait to see more of it.

 

[ryan299]

QB looks awesome. Tomb Raider had a much better showing than E3, but I still think it has a terrible release date.

 

[slash3584]

Where are the moderators.. there is a lot of irrational hate and trolling in this thread an no one is doing something... this is a perfect time to clean this foro from those toxic sony fans that are affecting gaf reputation.

haha really? This is kind of ironic.

 

[jaypah]

Well it looks like I'm finally picking up an X1 in the Fall. Nice show.

 

[Tevos]

The lack of any big surprises was kind of a bummer.

That Halo 5 console looks pretty neat though.

So I assume you missed the last announcement then.

That was a fantastic show overall. So many great looking games coming.

 

[SolarMystic]

2016 is going to be an amazing year

I'd have to agree.

Quantum Break
Scalebound
Recore
Gears 4
HALO WARS 2!!!
Crackdown 3
Forza (probably Horizon 3)

Plus if you got a PS4 you get to enjoy:

The Last Guardian
Uncharted 4
Horizon


Going to be such an amazing year for exclusives.

 

[KANYE WEST]

Everything besides Crackdown and Halo Esports was good

 

[loaf of bread]

The entire hour between Scalebound and Tomb Raider could have been cut out and nothing would really be lost. They should have just worked their stuff into E3 and skipped GC like Sony.

 

[illmatic22]

It was a solid show. Far from terrible.
