Topic: XboxOne ~News/Rumor/Speculation~ Biggest Console Released This Gen!!

You can't (but this would be easily discerned by Microsoft - at least your usage habits). But they will refund *anyone* who bought Xbox Live Gold since Xbone was launched (again, prorated). You lose all XBL Gold access, obviously.

[BlackNMild2k1]

I would take the refund and then use it to buy Live again if I actually used Live.

it would be like a free extension to the service.

[BranDonk Kong]

Just remember its prorated, so you don't get your money back for what you've used, you get the remainder back of what you haven't used.

[BlackNMild2k1]

Oh, nevermind then. I guess that's better than nothing, especially since there are lots of services/functions that shouldn't have been behind a pay wall anyway.

Welp. Exclusive Platinum Kamiya title means i willl have to pick XBone sometime in the future. Though we'll see more about it's gameplay, it doesn't look like Platinum's usual output i.e. hack'n'slash, more like a MonHun game, which is offputting if anything.


Another cool game i saw at MS conf was indie game called Cuphead -- it looks like 30s Disney cartoon shorts, so amazing.

The only game that really grabbed me was Sunset Overdrive.

E3 scorecard for MS Xbox one--  B-

MS showed off tons of stuff and focused on the games but there really wasn't that "big" announcement and most of the stuff was just CGI.  The few "new" announcements were either expected like another Tomb Raider game or games that are cult hit at best--crackdown 3 or phantom dust 2.  Really MS?  Out of all the IPs then own they went with these two?  Another year for me with no Crimson Skies 3, Conker's Bad Fur Day 2, or Jade Empire 2. 

Evolve was the highlight game for me for MS E3 show.

The other game i'm VERY interested in is new Tomb Raider game.


No, not the moaning simulator 2013 and it's sequel Rise of the Hoodie Murderer 2015. I'm talking about sequel to Lara Croft and Guardian of Light called LC: Temple of Osiris.


GoL was an awesome co-op game, i really, really enjoyed it.

[Nile Boogie Returns]

They focused on games and not gimmicks, little to no kinect. Solid mix of shooters, indie and exclusives.

Sunset Overdrive looks quite awesome.  The Ori game looks very awesome as well and might warrant a purchase.

I'm glad you mentioned it. E3 is now complete. Everything is irrelevant after this.

I didn't see the MS show, but the live blog sounded pretty good for MS the crowd. Are poeple excited about the Halo rereleases?

Lara Craft trailer. I smiled when i saw the sequence where you need to run away while tiles are falling apart from you. My friend who i played it with was rubbish at this despite being an overall better gamer than i am (i am guessing my experience with Nintendo plaformers pays off).


Oh and it's on PC, so i don't have to buy a new console.

Cuphead trailer. Love the visuals so much. Oh and it's on PC too.

They nailed that old silent Mickey Mouse cartoon look.

My basic thoughts on the press conference: a good press conference overall with a focus on games and ONLY games. That said, there were pretty much only three games shown that I have any interest in: Sunset Overdrive, Ori & the Forest, and Rise of the Tomb Raider. Sunset Overdrive had, without question, the best trailer of the day so far.

[Ymeegod]

There's a very hardcore Halo 2 community that nearly went apeshit when MS pulled Xbox Live support.  Now 10 years later the same game is being reintroduce with prettier graphics but with all the gameplay/flaws intact. 

It's actually not a bad bundle of stuff (five games (halo 1-4 and reach) which 2 is remaster, all the maps (over 100), and an season pass to the TV series which I look forward to.  Kinda wished they threw in digital copies of the novels and comics but I'm still pretty pleased with the collection.

[NWR_insanolord]

I didn't get to see the conference, because I've been in the back of a car all day and over the course of this trip have already burned through two thirds of my data for the month that started four days ago, but based on what I've read it sounds like a decent lineup. Still nothing that even remotely tempts me to go and pick one up, though.

[Spak-Spang]

If that Halo Complete series allows you to play all the multiplayer levels from each series with the multiplayer rules and balance from previous games then that would warrant a purchase from any truly die hard fan. 

Seriously, how cool would it be to jump into Halo Reaches Multiplayer with the game balance from Halo 2 or Halo.  Or decide to play some old Halo 2 maps with all the weapons from Halo 4? 

That package alone could sell people on buying an Xbox One. 


For that matter this is what you consider a system selling game. 


Imagine if Nintendo was to release all the 3D Mario games with the latest high definition graphics and then allowed you to play the game with different abilities from all the games.  Even adding new Stars and such.  correcting and adding into the wall jump the slide ability.  Mario is a less obvious game for such a treatment, but still works.

[azeke]

Imagine if Nintendo was to release all the 3D Mario games with the latest high definition graphics...

People would scream "bloody rehash" from the roofs and windows.

Personally for me, Halo doesn't make any difference.

[Oblivion]

I actually enjoyed Microsoft's conference more than Sony's. At least they didn't spend an hour on completely worthless bullcrap before getting to the good stuff.

That's because you've been intertubing "football" on your 40 inch Vita.

So far, outside of Rise of the Tomb Raider and Temple of Osiris and Uncharted 4 (2 of which in 2015 anyway), the overall theme of this show seems to be "COMING NEXT YEAR!".

[Spak-Spang]

I have to say I really liked the variation and multiple messages of the Microsoft press conference.  A lot of cool non Microsoft games available for the system and the games that look like cartoons are beautiful and perfect.

Probably going to trade in my PS4 and games to get a Xbox One Titanfall bundle.

Shingi is BACK!

Phil Spencer sung his Siren directly at me.

Only real main complaints is I want a traditional single player Fable as well as legends, and I feel that they might have well ported ODST and Reach to the ONE as well.
