Microsoft Gamescom 2015 Conference

Scalebound is my highlight. I'm willing to give Quantum Break and Crackdown 3 a try but I don't know. Both look kinda meh. The Halo eSports segments was unbelievably bad and I don't really care about Halo Wars. No price cut either...

Why would there be a price cut when they have already had one and are bundling games left and right?
 
Ding Ding Ding, here's the ignorant comment of the thread!

They have done a LOOOOOT of RTS, it's their speciality, basically.

Really though. If anything, Isolation was the unorthodox game coming from that studio. RTS has always been CA's bread and butter
 
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, PM a mod, then.
 
I left at the Halo 5 multiplayer match with the commentator. Did I miss anything else after that point besides Just Cause 3, Rise of the Tomb Raider and Halo Wars 2?
 
Pretty weak overall. It's clear that QB, Crackdown, and Scalebound were all announced too early and the footage shows. I was at least expecting more concrete demos of the latter two but nope. Indie stuff was nice, especially We Happy Few and it's always a pleasant surprise to see IGA show up. And while Forza, Halo and Tomb Raider had pretty decent showings at E3, I could give any less of a shit about them here. Still Halo Wars 2 was a neat announcement but a lot of the games shown, especially Scalebound and Crackdown, didn't seem all that compelling. Nothing is really standing out that makes me want to get an Xbox One.
 
THIngs that i enjoyed

Scalebond : Very strong , loving it.
Bloodstained : second new character is ok . i'm very fine with IGA with a whip on stage
Quantum break ( video game ) : very good.but it was more of the same that was already shown
Quantum break ( Tv show) : disapointing
Crackdown : good destruction , meh at the trailers they showed otherwise
Just cause 3 : it explodes ( very good )
Tomb raider : those guard deapth of vision were broken.. or they don't deserve to be guards. aside from that it's kinda more of the same thing as before ... i expect ..more ??

it was 6/10
 
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

I'm not even sure if some people here really like to even play videogames with how they talk about things...
 
A bit meh, fix the framerate on Scalebound and I might just get an XB1 for it late next year. Tomb Raider looked decent but not enough to make the wait unbearable. No interest in Halo/Wars/Fifa/Forza/gears. I need to see more of Crackdown.
 
I'd have to agree.

Quantum Break
Scalebound
Recore
Gears 4
HALO WARS 2!!!
Crackdown 3
Forza (probably Horizon 3)

Plus if you got a PS4 you get to enjoy:

The Last Guardian
Uncharted 4
Horizon


Going to be such an amazing year for exclusives.

Sea of Thieves and Killer Instinct Season 3 as well.
 
Yes, Dark Souls III, Tomb Raider, and Kamiya games totally are MS core stuff... Yup. You got it right there.
Well DS III is available on other platforms, TR had a terrible showing, and I thought Scalebound looked good but early. For the most part though, MS continue to preach to the converted, so I can't get excited about what they offer.
 
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

You think the Mods can keep up with threads like this. Everyone kinda gets a pass on these kind of threads unless it's super bad.

You seem really upset.
Relax. Be excited. Let the mods do their jobs.
 
Really glad HW2 is going to Windows 10 as well. The first one felt way too slow.

Wauw, haha.
 
Think the conference would have worked better at 60 minutes. Conference aside, Microsoft has a pretty damn stellar lineup of games next year.

Recore
Quantum Break
Gears of War 4
Halo Wars 2
Scalebound
Forza Horizon 2
Crackdown 3
Sea of Thieves
Killer Instinct Season 3

Even if they don't announce anything else, 2016 is solid for them.

Quantum Break
Scalebound

Crackdown 3

Seriously, next year is so damn packed. I don't know where I'm going to get the time to play everything.
 
I can see Crackdown 3 slipping to 2017 to be honest, looked VERY early.

Scalebound looked pretty cool, but I agree the main character might get tiresome.

Worst thing for MS is that the best actual games shown IMO would be Just Cause 3 (sleeper GOTY!) and Dark Souls 3, both of which are not exclusive.

Quantum Break looks pretty sick, but I'm sceptical that it will come together considering how ambitious they are trying to be - time travel always gives me concern that it won't disappear up it's own arse.
 
Halo Wars 2?

Oh that's cool, whos develpi

Creative Assembly

I can hear TWCenter explode from here.
 
Not as exciting as E3 and man, that Halo 5 stuff was poor. I can see why they did what they did, along with the FIFA stuff though. At the end of the day, e-sports are huge and getting bigger, whilst FIFA will sell more than the entire output of several countries combined. GAF can get pretty snooty about the mainstream gamer but they pay developers bills far more than most of us.
 
Good:
Quantum Break looks so amazing, it's my most anticipated 2016 game now.
Crackdown 3 looks like a lot of fun, but pretty early.
Love the look of Scalebound, but they need to fix that framerate.
Rash in KI and KI Season 3, OMG I'M SO HAPPY
Forza 6 is looking incredible, but too bad I'm not into simulation racers
Halo Wars 2 :D :D :D
RotTR looks fantastic

Meh:
The Halo 5 competitive play was not cool. Would rather have seen the campaign.
Why was Bloodstained there?
 
Why would there be a price cut when they have already had one and are bundling games left and right?

Because in Europe they aren't selling for shit. And nothing shown today will change that. €300 for the console could have changed that. In fact I got my XB1 for under 300 last week.

Yeah they should have definitely shown more of that.


Eh? Oh well...
 
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.

This is actually a good point. If they had shown some of the good stuff from this at E3 and just skipped Gamescom, I'd probably have rated their E3 conference a lot higher. Instead we got a decent conference and an average one instead of just 1 great one.
 
Why did this thread turn into wars? Seriously this conference wasn't attacking anyone just showing cool games. The first party lineup looks fantastic, I don't like that they made Lara croft this dark murdery one woman army, but the tomb aspects look cool, and better yet everyone will have a chance to play this eventually. Crackdown looks awesome and scalebound just looks fucking incredible, also halo wars 2 was a rad surprise announcment, I'd give it an 8 out of ten personally. I get that Xbox isn't the most popular system around here but try ignoring that and try to appreciate these games on there own merits.
 
Well DS III is available on other platforms, TR had a terrible showing, and I thought Scalebound looked good but early. For the most part though, MS continue to preach to the converted, so I can't get excited about what they offer.

Your argument was that there was "nothing there" for people disinterested in MS core franchises... Clearly... There was stuff there that were not MS core franchises, just saying...

Does the fact that DSIII being available on multiple platforms disqualify it from being for people who aren't into MS core franchises?

Please tell me "yes". Please.
 
OK conference - wasted time on a few things which could have been better paced/explained or just realised they were in Germany and not the US.

I think most appear to be disappointed at the lack of unknown reveals. It was solid what it showed - wished we had seen CD3 gameplay.

Forza still seems the biggest thing MS do directly that makes me want a XO. It's just always polished.

Scalebound looks like fun, so excited for DS3 after Bloodborne. Did not see what really has changed from the revamped TR formula - think I fell for CDs PR :(.
