2015 Microsoft E3 Conference

How many shirts will Phil Spencer wear?

Results are only viewable after voting.
If HoloLens minecraft works as advertised my kids would do anything to get that. But I doubt that, even if I want it.

Recore and some indies look good, nothing but oomph graphics from Halo and Gears. Rare is nice, everything else is "meh" due to me getting used to this kind of stuff. They really lost innovation credibility with kinect.
 
MS is bringing the heat with those announcements. I'm not really interested in BC since i already have my 360 or VR really...but things like that rare collection just give you great value for your money, and who can resist gears you know?

Sony is gonna have to hit it out of the park tonight to top that. That is, your gonna need more than statistics, VR 'demonstrations' and remastered games we already know about

6/10, some interesting stuff but in terms of exclusive it's just really poor; BC is useless to me I already do not have enough time to play current games!
 
6.5 - 7 / 10

Too many cgi trailers and not enough gameplay.

Loved that rare is making games again (pirates looks interesting). Love the announcement of BC with xb1, rares 30 games for 30 bucks and halo lens stole the show for me. I don't care for gears so a real let down for me to finish the conference.

Well, that was certainly a Microsoft conference. Zero ambition, zero innovation, zero surprises, just more of the same each and every year. Fine if you like that sort of thing, but no reason to buy an XBox One if you're after anything out of the ordinary or with any semblance of individuality or soul.

LOL. The haters have arrived!
 
Nothing wow'd me here. Mods for Fallout are cool, but I imagine it'll be limited. No graphics mods or anything that uses more system resources. Maybe quests, weapons?
 
Good show overall, a bit boring midpoint but it got better.

There were some cool game announcements although in CG form (meh).

Backward compatibility is huge but I hope we can use 360 controllers/fightsticks on XB1.

Tomb Raider looked fucking awesome.

Ashen was an interesting looking indie game.

Hololens blew me the hell away. Shit is crazy!

Forgetting stuff, but I'd give the show a 7 outta 10.
 
It started so strong, and ended so weak. Halo 5 multiplayer is nice. I played the Alpha and I like where it is going. The Campaign however is cod-ifed. A.I is borderline retarded , and it needs work. I think we found out that COD had officially moved to the Sony side, as it was not here today. It was not missed at all, I just hope it still gets good support because Treyarch rarely disappoints, and I want to see Black Ops 3, with 3 years of Development instead of two. Rare needs to get their shit together, this Pirate game is OK, but it doesn't peak my interest. The fans are clamoring for new titles and for everything microsoft is doing right, the mismanagement of rare is sad. That being sad I hope the title does well for them so that we can get more new ip's from them in the future,

I'd give the press conference a Solid B-. Phil hyped it up, I bought it and I got let down hard, but there were many good moments to be found.
 
Okay conference but nothing special. The ending was bad though. I was expecting something like Battletoads after Gears 4 reveal. I mean the Rare shirt, come on Phil!
 
It was a good show. Backwards compatability alone is pretty huge, I probably would've bought an Xbone earlier if it had that. Dunno if I'm gonna buy one now though, but still.

Rare Replay is fucking rad, but other than that most stuff was neccecary but not really exciting.
 
The beginning and end were pretty decent but lord the middle was awful. They should have showed Quantum and Scalebound in place of that snooze fest. I preferred the enthusiasm last year. Phil wasn't on stage enough.
 
5,5/10 Dark Souls 3 and that 30's cartoon game looked great. Wasn't interested in anything else they showed!

Gears 4 was a straight disappointment. Minecraft Hololens stuff looked terrible.
 
6.5/10

Started off fairly hot but my god did it slow down. Way too many CG trailers, way too much Stars Wars Kinect gimmickry with that hololens, way too much scripted gameplay.
 
Hololens is cool, but the interaction with it seems limited. If they showed someone building a castle or something while in that view, it would be more impressive, but so far it just seems like spectator mode with fun buttons.
 
Well... For someone who doesn't care for gears or halo this was a little bit underwhelming. Backcomp is a real megaton though especially since I can use my digital library from the 360. Other than that the conference was good. Game after game. Give it a 7/10.
 
7 out of 10 from me.

+Gears remaster.
+Halo 5
+New controller

-Hololens bullshit
-VR partnerships that have nothing to do with xbox
-backwards compatibility ( i have no reason to play decade old games) (waste of resources)
 
Rare and Xbox Features and Hardware were the king of the show. Everything else was pretty weak. I didn't even like the gears demo and I love gears! Looks like I still don't need an Xbox One yet.

The show is Nintendo or Sony's to take.
 
That was overall really good! The BC was really nice, I give them an 8/10 and I'm a Sony fan.
I'll be picking up tomb raider it looks really good.
 
I'd give it a 6/10. When the highlight is the ability to replay old games, that's not great. BC is great in the first year or so of new consoles, but by this point, should be more excited about new games.
