Microsoft Gamescom 2015 Conference

The competitor doesn't need it, they have shown good stuff before. Seriously I don't want to make this about A vs B but Microsoft aren't exactly in a top position when it comes to their console, especially in Germany so I thought they would be bringing heavy announcements here.

I'm not either, but I don't recall a thread when Sony have a conf that has this amount of shit talking, it is super annoying as I just wanted to hear the positives and what was being shown not EW OR THIS IS TRASH at everything, I own all the consoles, but I feel the bias here every time a conference comes about and it's just a shitty way to go about things that the sole PS4 owners go around dick whacking a thread every chance they get, whilst trying to be oh so secret about it.
 
Im thinking mouse an keyboard will be useable on xb1 for this game. There's talk of them getting mouse support.

but what is the point of that? might as well just play it on pc. Of course there are people who don't own pcs but then again the people who are generally interested in RTS and want to play RTS, own pcs.
 
Pretty decent conference. Beginning was great. Middle was kind of blah, and the end was decent.

2016 Lineup

Quantum Break
ReCore
Killer INstinct Season 3
Sea of Thieves
Crackdown
Scalebound (OMG btw)
Gears of War 4
Halo Wars 2
And More TBA

Stacking their line up

I seriously hope that they spread these releases throughout the year to make things consistent. Don't throw everything in March and November.

I gotta say...they aren't lying. Besides Tomb Raider not 1st party (and maybe Gigantic)...this is definitely a great lineup of games.

Maybe you didn't see powers at e3 2014...
 
Funny thing is at least Microsoft brought a conference to gamescom.

Some great looking games as well. A packed holiday and on into next year. But hey, Halo 5, Rise of the Tomb Raider, Rare Replay and Forza 6 sucks. Scalebound, Quantum Break, Gears 4, Recore and Crackdown 3 for next year? Games with Gold are backwards compatible? Meh, nothing to be excited about at all.
 
People calling this show terrible are ridiculous. What do you want? XB1 price drop to $10? Free TV with every XB1? Half Life 3 & 4 bundled as well? Free brick of gold preorder bonus?
 
I'm not sure if it was Microsoft's intent, but they sold me far more on just getting a gaming PC than an Xbox One.
Windows 10 is amazing. Only thing ill miss is scalebound but I'm iffy on the western tropes I'm getting from it. But yeah weak conference I think for PS4 owners looking to jump in with another platform. Probably a solid conference for Xbox fans.

Cool stuff all around. Getting windows 10 desktop end of the year.
 
The entire hour between Scalebound and Tomb Raider could have been cut out and nothing would really be lost. They should have just worked their stuff into E3 and skipped GC like Sony.

Doing GC was more of a strategic move than anything. Not just about fitting everything in to one show.
 
Solid, I guess.

Most interested by Scalebound but want to see it with a better frame-rate and I want to be able to customise the characters.
 
Dug the Quantum Break & Dark Souls 3 gameplay footage.
Everything else was par for the course pretty much and expected.
It was a conference for XBox One. Not sure what else people wanted to thought it should be.

Anyone have a picture of the Halo console? I missed that part.
 
Where are the moderators.. there is a lot of irrational hate and trolling in this thread an no one is doing something... this is a perfect time to clean this foro from those toxic sony fans that are affecting gaf reputation.

lol

EDIT: and he's banned
 
Enjoyed the showings of Tomb Raider, QB, Crackdown and Scalebound but the rest of the show bored me. The Halo esports thing was utter shite imo and the silly fool in me thought 343 was going to attempt a new IP or something, nope, another entry in the Halo mythology.

I'm glad the games I mentioned up top impressed me, as much as a Xbox fan I am the rest they offer doesn't do it for me at all, I even loved Gears but that's wearing thin now.
 
I seriously hope that they spread these releases throughout the year to make things consistent. Don't throw everything in March and November.

Quantum Break (April)
ReCore (Spring)
Killer INstinct Season 3 (March)
Sea of Thieves (Holiday)
Crackdown (N/A)
Scalebound (Holiday)
Gears of War 4 (Holiday)
Halo Wars 2 (N/A)
And More TBA
 
Don't forget they specifically stated all new 360 Games with Gold would work on Boner

Please let that be a beautiful auto correct fix.

I will be interested if these make it to PC as well, or only through Windows 10 and the streaming component with XboxOne. I am curious to how Microsoft will handle future PC and Xbox "brand" (lack of a better term) with this new capability.
 
I wish there had been this much enthusiasm for halo wars 1, the multiplayer for that gem was dead within a couple of months. This time it will be different (at least PC users will stick around).

Also what was up with the 20/25 people in green shirts at the front that hollered at every announcement lol.
 
I think this is the best Xbox Gamescom conference in history

...... You cannot be serious. I mean it was good but I don't think it's blowing anyone away. Especially with the Esports, FIFA microtransaction discount, the DVR and the Tomb Raider gameplay. There were definitely highlights but there were some definite lows.
 
Did they confirm the release date of Recore? At E3 it was just a CG trailer, which usually means the game is pretty far off.
 
I thought it was a good conference, and the XB1/W10 cross buy/play is awesome. Phil should have been at the helm a long time ago.
 
Well damn, and I thought 2015 was stacked, but 2016 is looking mighty nice

2016:
Quantum Break (XB1)
Halo Wars 2 (XB1/WIN10)
Sea of Thieves (XB1/WIN10)
ReCore (XB1)
Scalebound (XB1)
Crackdown (XB1)
Killer Instinct Season 3 (XB1/WIN10)
Gears 4 (?) (XB1)
Forza Horizon 3 (?)
 
Honestly, overall it was a pretty good show.

Aside from Halo Wars 2, nothing new was announced - I think this should have been expected. I mean sure, 5 absolute megatons would've been amazing, but that's unrealistic. Hell, Sony didn't even want to show up because they didn't have enough left in the tank and didn't want to disappoint the fans.

The gameplay trailers for the games that were previously announced all looked alright as well. Scalebound, Crackdown 3, Quantum Break, and Homefront 2 all show potential. I doubt all 4 will be amazing games, but they are all shaping up to the fun experiences anyways.
 
Pretty average conference, great start and HW2 end aside. Meh, there's loads to play though, and that's what matters. Plus it means we can speculate for another X months about PressPlay, Twisted Pixel, Lionhead, Rare etc... Joy of joys!
 
I liked Halo 5 esports, gimme that million dollar payout. Also good gameplay was shown. The commentary was neither here nor there.

Loved that most of what I wanted was coming to PC as well.
 
i honestly dont know what people want anymore. There are people saying that nothing here interests them. They hit like every genre, even RTS which is almost extinct on consoles

It's a strange thing and it begs the question, why bother? If the content is so disgusting to you, why continue to inform us that the content is so disgusting and unappealing to you?

I can only surmise that people just need to let people know they don't care.
 
The stuff they showed of games we already knew about was good. QB looks dope. Scalebound looks interesting,
(edit: how can I forget about CD3 looked amazing), and we got some info about DVR. The lack of game announcements were the big letdown for me though other than Halo wars (which I personally couldn't care less about).
 
Btw that Cloud Computing in Crackdown was crazy good. Not a big fan of Crackdown personally but that was very impressive.

It does look better than Crackdown 1&2 though, so i may try it again. We'll see.
