Sony with the COD exclusive

 

[Calm Killer]

For me, this could have been a 15 minute conference. First 10 minutes and the Rare news. Everything else was blah.

 

[Grisby]

Welp. Was alright I suppose.

Glad Gears is back. Recore looks interesting.

Wish Halo would have had a ore substantial demo. Same for TR, should have showed some combat or a tomb.

 

[Guerrillas in the Mist]

The number of 2015 games shown was a plus, I guess.

 

[Mendax]

That was definitely the greatest conference ever made, so much content

sarcasm? my detector seems to be broken

 

[OricWindstar]

Started strong, then just became an average conference.

 

[SMgamer83]

Sigh

 

[Art Teitlebaum]

That started off strong, but they really fumbled the ball. The new Inafune game, the indie games, and Rare Replay were the only sections I liked.
.

These are completely my impressions, too. Overall not bad, but mediocre most of the time.

 

[CronoShot]

Pretty boring, predictable conference overall. No megatons to speak of, and a shit ton of super scripted and/or CGI trailers.

Meh.

 

[jond76]

Ah Yah! Rock Band 4 clip!

 

[yukianderson]

Is sad when the best part of your conference is that you can play 360 games very sad indeed...

 

[RdN]

everything was not gameplay

Except, you know, Halo, Tomb Raider, Gears of Wars 4....

 

[Ragnarsson]

So that was it? Ok then.

 

[mysteriousmage09]

Conference started out really good then just dropped off a cliff.

Can't see shit Gears demo as the finisher is fucking lol worthy.

 

[Voke]

BC is a huge announcement, everything else was soooo average.

 

[njean777]

I mean I bought an xbox one for Halo and Gears, so whatever, the press conference was alright, nothing special. The BC is cool, but not something to write home about.

 

[LowParry]

So if BC was the big thing only for MS....oh boy...

 

[CheezyMac88]

B-

 

[Domcorleone]

Disappointed. Great start and then it just flamed out. I'll have to wait til Gamescom to see the games I really want. Ill be getting TR but that demo was bad, way to linear.

 

[Arkham]

they should have ended with backwards compat

Yep. I'm still waiting for the surprise ending.

Edit: Holy shit. That was the ending.

 

[Napalm_Frank]

It was ok conference. Not huge bombs or anything but Sea of Thieves looks potentially fun.

 

[OmnipotentO]

It was good. Dare I say I kinda want an Xbox now...

 

[flashmouth]

no cod, no battlefront, no problemo.

 

[More Fun To Compute]

Microsoft have learned how to not have absolutely terrible conferences.

 

[Veritigo_X]

No "oh one more thing"?

 

[The_Lump]

Yeah started well, then bombed hard.

6/10. Door is open for Sony.

 

[fokkusu]

No Windows 10 Halo
0/10

 

[Gen.Grievous]

Great conference for a PC gamer though. Cheers Microsoft.

 

[Piggus]

Thought it was a pretty solid conference tbh.

 

[Luigi87]

7/10 is what I'd review the conference. Solid start, but overall we didn't see much actual gameplay... Though I guess we never really do.

 

[Rephin]

They really should have saved the BC announcement for last. But yeah, that was a really stellar conference.

 

[daveo42]

Not bad, but nothing really all that surprising either. BC was the huge news of the day for them. Rare making a new game is good, but not sure about that Pirate MMO bit.

 

[Gilgamesh]

That was awful

 

[KuwabaraTheMan]

After getting hyped up for the possibility of Banjo-Threeie being revealed, this might be the most disappointing press conference ever for me. That was really the one thing that might have gotten me to buy an Xbox One.

At least we still have Yooka-Layle coming. RIP Rare.

 

[Lashley]

Amazing conference from MS. Hope Sony keep up.

 

[schaft0620]

This was the conference that Microsoft should of had a year ago. Sony is about to go nuclear tonight.

 

[ChosenPredator]

they still have so much they didn't even show but its good they stick to whats actually coming out

 

[TheLostBigBoss]

So we got like nothing out of this.

BC is cool, but half of everything was either a QTE of a game or CGI.

5/10

 

[Pachimari]

I'm only disappointed that there were no Rare platformer.

 

[Chase17]

Not the best confrence but there was some good parts. Rare replay may be my highlight.

 

[JDSN]

Usually bloated conference. 6/10

 

[Phineous_2]

I can't remember an Xbox conference without Call of Duty being demoed.

 

[ghstwrld]

that's it?

 

[wachie]

I still think even with this conference, Microsoft will win this holiday (like they wanted) unless Sony drops some (price-cut) bombs.

 

[Protomanx13]

Beginning was strong with Halo, Fallout, Dark Soul, but the 2nd half is somewhat boring

 

[FirmBizBws]

They came out hot then cooled all the way off. When the best stuff from your conference is now hardware (controller and VR) and backwards compatibility, thats a problem.

Too many multiplatform and free to play games shown. They did enough to get me to buy a console, but thats not because of the games they showed off.

 

[Big Green Anus]

IT ENDED!!! WTF!!!! YOU DID NOT CONVINCED PEOPLE TO BUY AN XBOX ONE OVER A PS4!! YOU MUST DROP THE PRICE TO $299 ASAP OR YOU WILL FACE IRRELEVANCY!!!!

 

[Frag Waffles]

Not a great conference IMO

 

[jelly]

Wasn't that great. Gameplay while there was almost nothing really. BC news was something else though but don't care about that much.

 

[In Service]

7.5/10.

Started well (BC!) and then showed what we largely expected.

Looked exciting.
