So people only wanted MS to show Scalebound/QB/Crackdown which they said would all be at gamescom? Now it sucked because of that.
MS wanted to show a lot of stuff at both.

Are we really flinging the fanboy accusations already? You think that's a good idea?

It was not a bad conference, but very safe and normal. Not memorable moments unfortunately, good or bad.

Yeah, the series still looks too much like a tryhard Uncharted. More of the same stuff from the reboot. I'm going to pass on that.

4/10 conference for me.
Cuphead was intresting.
Hololens was excellent
Tomb raider reminded me so much of uncharted 2&3 , not in a great way.
the rest was meh. gears was way too dark i coudln't see sh*t.
Halo ..well didn't excite me. and the burst of indies reminded me way too much of sony last year..
fable legends doesn't look that great IMO, and that ( yet another moba game ) really look lifeless to me.
backward compatibility is ok , but since it has restrictions i see no reason to be excited by this.
Ps: no need to bring a car in your conference , just like there is no need to bring a dancing star ( remember dance central ? )
Would have been better with actual gameplay from forza than this.

I didn't hear "Only on Xbox" or "Xbox Exclusive" during that part. Maybe I missed it, but I was listening for it.

Agree! Let's wait and see. Looked way too early.

I got the impression that they were, but maybe others felt differently. I thought that this would be through some Windows / Xbox architecture.
The guy from Bethesda also preceded that announcement by going on and on about working with Microsoft.

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
No price drop. Guess MS is gonna ride out $350 till the Holidays.
Will be interesting to see if this changes if Sony drops to $350 tonight.

Nothin mind blowing, with all the games I'm playing on my Xbone, 360 have been left behind.

Rare game looks amazing.
New controller looks nice.
Backwards compatibility is cool as fuck - I get to try some 360 games since I never had one.
Halo 5 looks okay - not looking forward to more Prometheans.
Fallout 4 mods are really cool - neat feature.
Tomb Raider looked more of the same as the last one...which isn't a bad thing.
8/10

Started off good but went quickly downhill in the middle and did not make it up at the end for me.
6/10
Would have been 8/10 if it was last year but BC this late in the generation I see no reason.

I'll be stunned if they can't lol
BC is cool, but I wanted more games. Can't say I was even remotely interested in any of the new announcements except for DkS3, if that counts... Which I'll be playing on PC lol
bit of a letdown. Biggest thing out of it was BackC and I liked recore. There was no new BK. Nothing amazing. The Elite controller was a bit of a surprise. Other than that the conference was like any other MS E3, Forza, Halo, Gears being the big games. I did like the fact that there was a lot more gameplay this year and less prerendered stuff.
As an X1 owner, I was losing my shit with the BC + that new Controller. I was so happy MS was finally fighting back, and they were in the zone!
Then..I kind of felt the conference lost steam, and then kind of just...ended. I will admit, that has to partly do with myself. The games they showed were just, okay for me. They were fine. But they are also what I expect, and I'm also kind of burnt out on some of those kind of games. So all in all, I felt they just started out really strong. And then it just kind of...yeah.
I don't know. I would probably give it a C- or C overall. Because the content itself was all solid and okay. But it was just kind of okay for me. I feel like if the BC and the controller were NOT in the conference, I would have seen this conference as a very solid..and okay conference. Which actually isn't a bad thing.
So yeah. I don't know. I sure love Phil Spencer and his shirts.

CoD isn't the big gun it used to be. Especially with Halo 5 and Battlefront this year.
No, not everyone saying MS did fucking terrible is a Sony fanboy. I don't even own a PS4 nor currently want one.

I feel this way too. The tech seems very impressive, but just really too far out to be completely trusted.
Underwhelming. Was recore and Gears 4 the only actual "reveals" that we didn't see anything before already?
I'm not trying to hate or anything, but the lack of solid gameplay for CG trailers shown last year demonstrates how bad an idea CG trailers are. They obviously don't have completed vertical slices to show since those trailers were too early.
So the phantom dust CG trailer was not known to the actual devs of phantom dust, so they didn't know Microsoft were going to tell people it was a remake. (it was just a multiplayer competitive game). When they approached MS to ask for the $$ to make the game Microsoft told people was coming, they said no.
Phantom Dust is canned

Cuphead looked fantastic.
Was expecting some third party ip timed exclusive like Mass Effect 4 or something.
Solid conference but no big stuff.

Ooh. C-? Your write-up certainly detailed why you felt that way, kudos. Interested in your views on the rest of todays shows.

You give BC a 2/10 boost? like if it were an 8 , BC would make it a 10?
I'm kind of amazed people sell their old systems if they are so hyped for this... unless your 360 broke, then I can sort of see it.
No, Sony conference starts in 7h

It was a very good showing by MS, their best in several years at E3.
But it just felt rather "been-there, done-that" to me, certainly nothing shown made me even pause to consider jumping onboard the Xbox train again.
I'm sure plenty of people will be hyped by it though, but I wonder how many of those were already predisposed to what MS has always offered.

Haha, imagine that!
Not just you, it did feel like a safe and predictable conference. Really wish CGI trailers from both 1st and 3rd parties would just fuck off at this point. I'll take it over MS's kinect heavy 2010 and 2011 conferences though.

I heard, "We've been asking Microsoft for this feature for 10 years." I get the feeling it's Xbox One exclusive. He didn't specifically say what you quoted though. We'll see.
