How to Microsoft

Microsoft Executive 1: So we should launch Project Scorpio for the same price as PlayStation 4 Pro, right?
Microsoft Executive 2: Yeah, everyone hated when we launched Xbox One for $499.
Satan: Or, and hear me out, launch Project Scorpio for $499.
Microsoft Executive 1: What are you doing back here, Sa-
Satan: And call it Xbox One X and make it look like Xbox One S because that clearly differentiates what this console is.
Microsoft Executive 2: Well, I'm sold.
Microsoft Executive 1: Me too. Thanks, Satan.
Satan: That's what I'm here for, bruh.

So even Satan is doing what he can to get Microsoft out of the video game market. Wow.

I will say, although I don't think Microsoft really sold a reason to upgrade to the Xbox One X (ugh), I'm happy they're working on giving me an excuse to keep it plugged in.  There was a diverse set of games shown in their conference, and if robust, their backwards compatibility features might keep me engaged.


This is the benefits of competition and them trailing behind Sony.

Just out of curiosity, is Xbox 2002 backwards compatibility only for the xXxbox Return of Xander Cage, or is it also for the Xbone S model? As someone who's never owned an Xbox I'm admittedly not very interested, but if they handle it well the Xbone S model could amass an interesting critical mass to warrant a purchase at some point way down the line for me.

Like, if they bring Panzer Dragoon Orta, Burnout 3, Psychonauts, Jade Empire, that 3D Oddworld game, MechAssault, Crimson Skies and stuff over, combined with that gorgeous Forza 7 I miiiiiight be ever so slightly interested. Plus they're also BC with X360 right? There's bound to be stuff on there that I would dig too.

Everything I've read so far is that the original Xbox game compatibility will be available for ALL models of Xbox One.  There's a comprehensive list of what xbox 360 games the Xbox One is backwards compatible with here.  If the plain Xbox One can handle 360 backwards compatibility, i'm sure the OG Xbox backwards compatibility will be available for all of the platform, too.

Neat link, thanks! Yeah makes sense they'd do it on all the Xbox One consoles. Things like Daytona, NiGHTS Into Dreams, Beyond Good & Evil HD I would all wanna play as well. Presumably these are all on their digital store too right? It's so weird I've almost never used an xbox, let alone see its user interface haha.
Maybe in a couple of years when the One S models are way cheaper I'll spring for one though, there's a lot of cool stuff/potential here. Panzer Dragoon Orta is a must though imo.

[nickmitch]

I'm intrigued by the backwards compatibility, but I'm still not sold on getting an xXxBoX_OnE_xXx.  I did like MS made it a point to say that you wouldn't need a 4K TV to appreciate the extra horsepower.

The game I'm most interested in from their show, however, is Cup Head.  The others looked fun, but too many always-online FPSes.

[BeautifulShy]

So ubisoft was okay except for one thing.. Rabbids and Mario I did like the gameplay. Personality could be better for the Rabbids. Asscreed Origins looks good.  a few other things and then finally.... Beyond Good and Evil 2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[BeautifulShy]

Sony should be staring in 30 mins or so.

[ShyGuy]

What did I miss?

Cliffy B has a fast, cheap FPS! Heavens to Betsy!

Miyamoto is now a Ubisoft exclusive release!

Sony has one shot to win E3!

[BranDonk Kong]

Dat Spider-man doe.

[ShyGuy]

SONY REPORTING IN!

Capcom Betrayalton!

zombies. yay.

God of War ...good?

Spiderman = meeeeeeeh

Moss is game of the conference!

[Stratos]

The Monster Hunter Reddit is going ballistic about the PS/XBox/PC Monster Hunter announcement. And not entirely in a good way.


There was a rumor leaked a week or so ago that predicted this perfectly. The gist is that Capcom signed a deal with Sony and Capcom regrets it after the Switch exploded. So they are making a spin-off on non-Nintendo systems and keeping the "mainline" games on Nintendo systems.

[BeautifulShy]

Oh that is interesting.   I guess the switch/3ds is getting double cross then.

[Stratos]

Well, Double Cross/Generations Ultimate was already revealed for Switch, and will include cross-play with the 3DS version. You can port your data from regular Gen too, so that will be a plus.


I expect that to appear in Nintendo's reveal tomorrow.

[ShyGuy]

DOUBLE CROSS COULD NOT HAVE A MORE APPROPRIATE NAME

[BeautifulShy]

Haha I was thinking the same thing I was typing that response.

[Khushrenada]

THEY KNEW WHAT THEY WERE DOING!!! THERE IS NO PLAUSIBLE DENIABILITY!!!!

[lolmonade]

One of my most anticipated games from E3 so far is a remake of an HD Remaster of a PS2 game...

[nickmitch]

I liked Sony's press conference.  All trailer, no fluff.  But a few things stuck out.

Number 1:

One of my most anticipated games from E3 so far is a remake of an HD Remaster of a PS2 game...

I just don't get why so many people were drooling over that remake when it was remade last gen.  It's already been in HD.  Is this really that exciting?

Number 2:
Soooo many of those games had vague "2018" dates.  Which is typical for Sony, but still.

All-in-all a good show for Sony, who probably had an easier time since they don't have a new console they need to shell.
