A really good press conference, just games and some very entertaining ones!
Fable, Forza Horizon 2, Phantom Dust and Scalebound as well.
I missed everything from before Sunset Overdrive. Overall seemed like a decent conference, with some cool announcements (Scalebound, SO, Crackdown 3), and of course Halo Collection. Plus the 3rd party stuff. That ntkrnl leak was legit, and kinda took away from these announcements. Seemed ok and I can imagine Xbox fans being pretty pumped. I don't think it's convinced me to buy an XBO, but I like the direction Phil is going with it
Same. If that was underwhelming, I don't think people are going to be too excited about the rest of the conferences.
New Tomb Raider downloadable sequel now, nice.
Sees with that commentary on Phantom Dust.
A good deal of stuff, but it felt like we got tons of CG and not much in the way of gameplay, especially from exclusives. We did get Fable, SO and Halo multiplayer, but I think they needed some more on their new games.
And eww...this Tomb Raider dungeon crawl...

I'd give them a solid A and maybe an A+ depending on what Sony shows.
Very surprised at this. I mean we pretty much had all studios accounted for but I expected at least one major new IP. Nothin.

yesss....4 player co-op for tomb raider: temple of orsiris
The original was pretty great. Much better than the TR reboot for me.

I am impressed. That was the most game-packed E3 conference I've ever seen. Even when someone came out to present a game, they didn't spend forever talking awkwardly about it first. They just walked up, introduced themselves, and showed the game.
It was back-to-back games the entire time. I feel like Sony is going to have more of the talking head bullshit.

Yeah, nothing all that big or shocking, even that Platinum reveal was kind of underwhelming.

What a crap conference. Spencer clearly shot himself in the foot with his "bringing more than hype, bringing games" statement a while ago that pointed at E3. One of the worst conferences I've seen so far. Even E32013 was better than this yawn-fest.
Not a single megaton IMO, MS needs more serious looking IPs and no cartoony kid games they flooded the conference with. I still think Sunset Overdrive is overrated, wont buy that one for sure.
Let's hope that Sony safes the day with a few megatons or I'm really disappointed. I don't even count on Nintendo to deliver anything.

The only chance they had for a megaton was a Conker game. But they botched it.

Oh man, LC&TGOL sequel, yes please
Well, that certainly didn't inspire me to go out and buy an Xbone. I'll never buy multiplats on it and the exclusives just weren't system sellers to me at the current price point. If it ever gets down to $200-ish with deals or game pack-ins taken off the price I'd definitely consider it for the exclusives.
Basically it'd take something like the $330 Mario Kart 8 Wii U bundle which gets you another game on top of that + has the Wiimote & Wheel pack in + the eshop credit you get from the Delux promotion when you register the extra game and the Club Nintendo Coins which ends up being like $180 in extra stuff. That was enough for me to buy a Wii U and I'd need something similar to buy an Xbone at this point.

Eh, is my reaction it wasn't boring, it wasn't particularly exciting either, neither here or there. More actual gameplay would have helped. C+.

i have no problems with gay people or people of any type, the term dike or dyke to me is more a descriptive use to give the impression of a butch female lesbian with short hair. calling someone personally a dike can be taken as an offensive word but like alot of words its more the context in how its said.

This comes from someone who is mainly a PC guy, so i look only on exclusives, since that´s what my consoles are for.
Overall pretty meh. Not great nor bad.
The most interesting thing was Scalebound. Though only that it´s a Platinum/Kamiya game, because oh boy that trailer was telling me nothing. Guess you fight monsters. At least it´s not MGR2 that is xbox exclusive lol.
Halo, already played them.
The rest, i don´t really know. I´m curious, but not really interested.

Edit: And a fuck you for that Conker bullshit. That´s not cool.

Honestly, I'd have to give the presser a C- and I think I'm being generous.

There's no reason for me to go out and pick up a Xbox One in 2014. Gotta wait until 2015 when Scalebound and Crackdown come out, but even then I want to see the games actually in-action first.
Ori and the Blind Forest was the only one they showed gameplay for that looked kinda neat.

agree with geoff though...lack of mic drop moments. ending with crackdown was kind of weak and phantom dust is really niche.

I give them a 7/10. The pacing was perfect, but none of the games really wowed me. Just about everything was "more of the same," which isn't inherently bad, but if the game mechanics are familiar, have a unique setting, story, art style, etc. Only Sunset Overdrive, Inside, and Kori got any true reaction from me. And way too many cg trailers. And a gigantic Conker tease. No MS. NO.
Me too. Another price drop before I get an XB1, even better!
It was definitely better from MS, just WAY too much 3rd party games, was hoping for a little more, Sunset overdrive, Fable, Limbo was interesting not enough 1st party for me... Certainly not enough for me to want to buy the console for its exclusives.. As 3rd party will always be better on the PS4. Lets hope they bring the 1st party later.
All I see is sequel, sequel, and sequel. There were always be more sequels than new games, but Microsoft had shit showing for any new and interesting games. Based off of that scalebound cgi it would have been even worse had P* not had a good reputation as it looked like ass.
The best part about the show was capcom poking fun at themselves with the DR3 DLC.

How do you get an A- with zero megatons and giving little to no reason to get the console over the competition.
Ehhh, I think we've seen enough grimdark shootbang to last a lifetime.
