Almost like everything got leaked before.
Next year MS should make up stuff so that false stuff get leaked just to please you.
Assuming it'll be at gamescom with all the other stuff NerdLeaks claimed that didn't get announced.

First off it doesn't work that way... second why would they? Announcing this early just forces people to hold off.

Being that I expected nothing of interest to me out of this conference, a multiplayer pirate game that I can play on PC is a big bonus!
The rest of MSs franchises are tired.

I have no idea how people are saying this conference was bad. Especially PC gamers. The Play Anywhere announcement is huge as it is.
What games?
ReCore looks like its running on the Wii U
Sea of Thieves looks pretty great but I wonder why there was no combat.
Gears lost the magic and has the most generic cast of characters in a game since Brute Force.
Scale bound looks dreadful
They lost D4 as an exclusive and had to show off a card game and Tekken 7 to fill time.
Finally they are so scared of being completely pushed out of the console space with how archaic the Xone already is that they have to announce a successor that is over a year and a half from launch and doesn't even have a shell on it just so fans like you can feel good.
That was a dismal showing.

Sounds awesome.
But let's be realistic here, Scorpio will be a 1080p 60fps dream, but expect 4k at 30fps with drops as the 980ti (slightly comparable in performance) can't handle high end games maxed out at 4k on pc, you do have to drop some settings to get playable frame rates. The only GPU at the moment that can handle 4k maxed out at playable frame rates is the GTX 1080 and it has about 8.8TFlops. (and costs $599)
But that being said I will wholeheartedly enjoy playing the Witcher 3 at 1080p 60fps on the Scorpio. (And the neo for that matter)

Only We Happy Few appealed to me in that conference. I really liked the music to Forza Horizon 3 trailer but I'm not a race fan.
So far E3 has been a bit of a bust. We Happy Few, Prey and Dishonored 2 is all i've seen for my taste. Hope Sony bring it.

I think that's great. MS just convinced you that you'll play games as part of Windows 10 then.
Up to gamers to decide.

A year and a half isn't "a few months".
I know what you're saying though, and I actually agree that it was a bad move to announce Scorpio so early.

Decent conference, but not many games that I'm looking forward to. I'm curious to hear more about Scorpio.
Xbox one S is the budget model, doesn't even come with a controller. Regular console is still around, and Scorpio is for the console enthusiast. Them they have PC support as well for the hardcore gamers.
Microsoft covering all their bases is defintiely a smart move

Microsoft announced their shit so soon Sony can afford to sit and wait until next E3 to announce something based off what they saw at MS.
It is still the cheapest 4K bluray player on the market

Seriously, do people think these presentations are made up on a whim?
This lmfao. And I was a bit critical of that conference.

Not a bad conference. Quite a bit of variation and all the games look pretty fun.
I do have to wonder why they announced Scorpio though. They can't just talk to their partners and tell them that its coming? It makes the current XB1 look like a bad buy.

thought it was an ok conference , decent 6/10

oh well

oh wellI think that was the best E3 conference I've seen.
The presentation was slick, no technical errors, Phil Spencer was great.
Gears of War 4, Horizon 3 and Sea of Thieves all looked brilliant. The indies didn't take up too much screen time and what was shown looked good. The cross buy between Windows 10 and Xbox is a great service to the consumer.
The conference wasn't DLC centric and it was refreshing that CoD and FIFA weren't prevalent.
The only part I didn't like was the Minecraft part due to the slightly wooden delivery.
One S and Project Scorpio look brilliant. Just not sure which to wait for!
The ball is in Sony's court now because I thought that was a really solid display from Microsoft.

It also felt very "me too" I thought MS said VR wasn't the future they are just "watching the space" now 4K and VR is part of there vision. That video was very similar to PS reveal "4 devs by devs" slogan Sony has at the February event. Even the slim looks like a white PS4! Lol...
It wasn't crap, I don't agree with the 5/10 stuff, but it was pretty forgettable besides a big powerful machine is coming next year. Maybe this is more exciting if you game on PC though I dunno. They could have practiced the presentations better as well.

this is already proven untrue come on
It does come with a controller
I think they give the chance to Sony to obliterated them, the scorpio is clearly not advance enough to be announced....

Microsoft announced and killed the slim in the same conference.
I have to say this was a C-. The "demos" were obviously cut videos half the time, and the overly extreme marketing was bad, the general rham in killer instinct teaser being standout bad. I'm excited that games are coming to pc, but then I remember how much of a cluster fuck the Windows 10 store is and I stop caring.
I'm sorry but I don't really understand Microsoft strategy right now. Are they going to battle vs Sony? Then why release exclusives on PC?
Are they are going for active userbase on Xbox/W10 ecosystem? Then why undermine Xbox One S potential sales by announcing the much improved Scorpio 1,5 years in advance? No one in their right mind will get a XB1 now if they really cared about power like Microsoft ended up selling as a very important thing.
Then as I've said before, this PS4Neo/Scorpio will end up badly because games will have to be designed around PS4Poor/XB1 limits. So basically you will never use the full potential of the more powerful boxes (not graphics wise but level/world design etc.).
The entire conference suffered from the leaks but I actually see it as a good thing because in the end the content wasn't really as good as previous years and without the leaks people expectations would only be bigger so more disappointment (which is a trend so far at this E3 which is odd...)

All I got from this is that I'm glad I have a gaming PC to play any of these Microsoft exclusives and not care about an Xbox One S or Scorpio

some of you have completely lost it
Metroidvania
People called Romanes they go the house?
Cross-buy sold itself well, but as someone with a PC and a PS4, I'm even less certain of picking up an X1 slim in the interim.
MS was better than EA or Beth by a decent margin, had way more games to show, but still not 'amazing' as such.

The bar isn't high.
But somehow, Microsoft got me excited about Project Scorpio and iterative hardware. Excited to hear about PlayStations more, but hey.

I mean seriously if I was interested in buying an Xbox One, knowing the Scorpio was coming in 18 months I definitely would not buy the One before that. I think it is a terrible move.
