[JaggedSac]

Can't wait to see some Crackdown.

 

[_Clash_]

Time to deliver MS.

I believe and took the plunge

SCALEBOUND

 

[The Jackdog]

3 games i really missed seeing any info for at e3.

excited to hear something finally

 

[Hoje0308]

Crackdown is the one I'm most excited about. Hopefully all that talk about destruction wasn't just hype.

 

[RPGamer92]

Hoping we finally get dates for Scalebound and Quantum Break. I'd assume we'll also see Press Play and Twisted Pixel's next games announced here as well?

 

[chadskin]

Crossing my fingers for a Mafia 3 announcement at the briefing.

 

[SlipperyMoose]

I'm interested in all three of those games. I can not wait to see Crackdown gameplay.

 

[TheSlySoul]

Crackdown has my attention. Hopefully they learned why 2 was so bad.

 

[alexandros]

Will there be anything of interest for PC gamers?

[kadotsu]

I just hope Crackdown isn't online only.

 

[jackissocool]

Looking forward to the new Crackdown! Open world superhero is a favorite of mine and the first game was awesome. It's a good match for inFamous, I think, and the vehicles are a blast. Hopefully the destruction is as awesome as in the reveal trailer but I'm skeptical until I see it in action.

 

[That1BlackGuy]

Can't wait to see some Crackdown.

.

 

[FordGTGuy]

So hyped for this!

First E3 and now this!

 

[DagnastyEp]

I think this has the potential to be Microsoft's best showing at Gamescom yet.

It'll be great to hear more about Scalebound, Crackdown, and Quantum Break. I'm expecting release date/month for QB, and release windown for Scalebound and Crackdown.

Also hoping to see more of Sea of Thieves and ReCore, to get a better understanding about what's going on in those games.

 

[igordennis]

This gamescom seems like it will be bigger than before for MS.

 

[_Clash_]

Yeh, I gotta be honest. Quantum Break looks amazing too.

MS done good if they deliver.

 

[Asd202]

Will there be anything of interest for PC gamers?

At Xbox conference? I doubt it.

[dugdug]

No playable version of Quantum Break on the show floor?

 

[Genio88]

Great strategy from Microsoft, E3 for 2015 games and Gamescom for 2016 ones, Can't wait to finally see Scalebound and Crackdown, of course i'm excited for Quantum Break too, which is one of my most anticipated games of 2016, but they've already shown it a few times

 

[Alcoholikaust]

Aw yessssss. Waiting to see if MS has any secrets up thier sleeve.

 

[sense]

they are going to ride out the "greatest game lineup in xbox history" tagline huh. i don't disagree they have a good lineup but that just sounds corny

 

[PhatSaqs]

Nice. Hope they show Recore and Sea of Thieves as well.

 

[_Clash_]

Sea of Thieves and recore possible as well.

MS doing a good job at picking which titles to back. Deserve a tick there.

They all look hype(of course none are released)

 

[crazyprac]

So shinobi... What do you know???

 

[TomShoe]

Awesome. Looking forward to seeing more of ReCore and Quantum Break.

 

[mclem]

Looking forward to finding out more about Quantum Break.

 

[Baroquemantic]

Excited for Crackdown! And Scalebound, assuming the stuff about big ass dragons is true.

 

[...Scatter...]

Can't wait to get our first look at Scalebound and Crackdown. Dope.

 

[sense]

they are going to ride out the "greatest game lineup in xbox history" tagline huh. i don't disagree they have a good lineup but that just sounds corny

 

[TechMaster360]

Crackdown is an interesting one if only to see if they can deliver on the "cloud"

 

[Mendax]

Will there be anything of interest for PC gamers?

At Xbox conference? I doubt it.

a number of those games will make it to PC sooner or later, dont you think?

 

[piccio_ssl]

finally the games that i really care about ( scalebound and quantum break )
let's go

 

[Alcoholikaust]

*double merge thread post*

 

[Servbot24]

Can't wait to see Scalebound!

 

[Outrun]

Crackdown has my attention. Hopefully they learned why 2 was so bad.

Different devs, and a crazy short dev cycle...

 

[Chris1]

Gamescom should be great. Quantum Break, Scalebound and Crackdown all have potential to be amazing and even game changing in Crackdown's case

 

[Leflus]

I just hope Crackdown isn't online only.

This. : /

It was really disappinting to hear that Fable Legends is online only. Please let Crackdown have an offline mode.

Looking forward to the conference nonetheless. Scalebound and Quantum Break should be good at least.

 

[Wolvesinthebathroom]

I need that quantom break Phil.

 

[SerTapTap]

Only particularly interested in Crackdown of the "big ones". If destruction isn't just set piece bullshit and this is like a next gen Red Faction Guerilla I'm so in.

Any chance they show proper info of ReCore? I'm not getting hyped from a Cinematic trailer to a new IP but it seems like it could be something unusual/interesting.

they are going to ride out the "greatest game lineup in xbox history" tagline huh. i don't disagree they have a good lineup but that just sounds corny

Hate that tagline. Isn't THIS year the "greatest" one? But this event is mostly about next years? Which, apparently isn't the greatest? Dumb line.

 

[Omikaru]

If Scalebound looks good, that's a guaranteed Xbox One purchase for me.

 

[SparkTR]

a number of those games will make it to PC sooner or later, dont you think?

Likely, but I doubt they're going to announce that at an Xbox conference. Their prior announcements were at different venues.

 

[SEGAvangelist]

Will there be anything of interest for PC gamers?

The always online games (Fable Legends and Sea of Thieves) seem to be coming to PC, so I'm guessing Crackdown might be interesting for PC gamers.

 

[moffattron9000]

Also hoping to see more of Sea of Thieves and ReCore, to get a better understanding about what's going on in those games.

I'd assume that they have to show more of ReCore if that early 2016 date is correct. Fr Sea of Thieves, I wouldn't be surprised if that's Holiday 2016 at the earliest, and will enter radio silence until E3 next year.

 

[Llyranor]

I'm really looking forward to seeing footage/details of Scalebound. Kamiyaaaaaa

 

[ohlawd]

In there for Scalebound.

will watch their briefing then call it a day for Gamescom

 

[Chris1]

This. : /

It was really disappinting to hear that Fable Legends is online only. Please let Crackdown have an offline mode.

I doubt it will have an offline mode, they'd be making the same game twice to have both offline and online & using the cloud just seems like a complete waste of resources and time. However if MS wants to show what the cloud can really do then I agree that would be best as people would then have a frame for frame comparison to see the differences.

 

[Outrun]

they are going to ride out the "greatest game lineup in xbox history" tagline huh. i don't disagree they have a good lineup but that just sounds corny

If they said "The Greatest Game Lineup in History" I would agree, but as far as the Xbox is concerned, it is hard to argue.

I don't know how I am going to split my time between FM6 and Halo 5. I have sunk 100's of hours in previous releases.
