PieFacE Posted June 10, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted June 10, 2018 Just watched the Halo trailer. Looks good. Not giving much away but hopefully they will actually go on a Halo ring again now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 (edited) conference thoughts - the game heavy stuff works, the guff at the beginning and the end does nothing for me, the "world premiere" and "exclusive" stuff was annoying as ****, not a clue what all the xboxs were for unless they are doing something after show some decent games, some good games and a couple of really good games, possibly the best game of the whole show...and some pretty shit looking exclusives...didnt pull a new exclusive IP out the draw that i think they need, maybe showed a bit too much "hey japan we also make games for you" getting a really positive response which surprises me, i dont think there were many genuine surprises in it, maybe dying light 2 i think from software was on stage tonight because theres a danger it will be quite similar to ghosts of tsushima so sony wont want both Edited June 10, 2018 by villa4europe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With all the Battle Royale hype and all the talk of one of their franchises stepping into that genre it was a huge troll more than anything. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ingram85 Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 (edited) Was a good conference for me personally. FH4, Halo, Gears, Fallout 76, Tales of Vesperia, KH3, A few indie games stood out and Cyberpunk looks fantastic. Only thing missing was Fable really. Game pass is maturing into gamings best value thing full stop. A few new AAA IP’s would have been nice but I’m really happy with what was shown.

They showed games for all sorts of gamers on all sorts of platforms. Even if you don't own an Xbox more than half the conference was games you will get on PS4/PC. B. They showed they were bulking up their exclusive offering by acquiring 5 new studios and showing off 18 exclusives/timed exclusives which makes Xbox gamers happy. C. Every outright exclusive was also on PC/Windows 10 either as an outright purchase, or part of Game Pass. This makes people with beast PC's of which there are more people than ever also happy. There was a lot to like about this conference. Microsoft knocked it out of the park with great reveals, great indie game, great exclusives and most importantly there was something for everyone here on any platform. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chindie Posted June 10, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted June 10, 2018 Best Microsoft conference in a long time. I don't think it was as great Microsoft could have done with it being, there's still not enough great exclusives for Microsoft imo and more Gears, Halo and Forza doesn't isn't enough. But it was better than I expected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LakotaDakota Posted June 10, 2018 Author Share Posted June 10, 2018 Far better to just show a whole bunch of games rather than having half of the show taken up by eejits talking about and playing(often badly) games, Don't like Gears of war, ok well it's only 3 minutes then onto something you will probably like. Sure there's no great depth to anything they are showing but they are showing lots & lots of things which you can then find out more about over the next few days/weeks 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The X outperforms the Pro in every single game. Sure not everyone has a good 4k tv to take full advantage but like the ps3 was a bit better than the 360 the X is now the best way to play anything. Combine that with EA access & gamepass giving you 200 games per year for less than £70 and it seems a no brainer. I don't really care what system stuff is out on as i have both anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 (edited) but the better games arent on xbox, the best 2 games ive played in the last year have been PS4 exclusives, this generation MS cant get near them upgrading to the x i cant justify because i simply dont play the xbone enough, im more likely to buy a switch so i can play zelda than i am to upgrade the EA access thing yeah i agree its probably the 1 reason i've still got my xbone, the gamepass thing i'm going to have a look at because it sounds like something i should have too but 2 streaming services are the best thing about the console not the actual games, thats a sad statement Edited June 10, 2018 by villa4europe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 just seen a trailer for something that i didn't know was happening, total war three kingdoms, set in the romance of the three kingdoms period of chinese history (same as dynasty warriors) i might have to see how badly my laptop plays that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daweii Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 My Bethesda predictions; RAGE 2 deep dive Fallout 76 deep dive Prey DLC The Evil Within 2 DLC DOOM 2 Teaser Starfield Announcement Trailer I had predictions for both EA and Microsoft as well, but I forgot to post them. I got 80% of Microsoft's conference right, although some things caught me out of left field like Dying Light 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rino8 Posted June 11, 2018 Visiting Supporter Share Posted June 11, 2018 Decent showing from MS Good: Cyberpunk, obviously. And Dying Light was a really welcome surprise. Bit mixed on the new Forza reveal. I'm really not into the overcast greys and browns that come with setting games (and films) in the UK. But I've loved all the previous forza games so. Bad: Tomb Raider - they're fun enough games but the first two games are basically insperable and this will make all 3 of them mush into one set piece heavy falling simulator with scary ancient power over arching story lines. A bit shocked, in a bad way that they think they should keep pushing Gears. Crackdown continues to disappoint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
