Support NeoGAF

[Bundy]

Well.... if you are an Halo fan, this conference was really good.
If you are a multi-console owner, this conference was average, imo.

Only " Ori" was really interesting for me.

 

[StrikeBack]

I hate to say it but this was somewhat underwhelming for me. I take it past E3s were similar?

 

[Shpeshal Nick]

So no genuine surprises?

All either previously leaked or heavily hinted at. Oh well. Got my Crackdown.

 

[213372bu]

No Metal Gear?

Rating: 8/10

 

[Hatchtag]

I'd give it about a 6/10...but I still kind of expect it to be the best of E3, which is pretty disappointing.
Also, why the hell end on a sizzle reel?

 

[CTLance]

Wasn't there a Gears icon somewhere at the end?

 

[jman2050]

Well good thing I know for sure I won't need to spend money on this system for at least another year.

 

[Rurunaki]

Yo.. Where's QUANTUM BREAK?

 

[TheMan]

these guys sure turned it around... no more nfl or tv features bullshit this time. however, i would have liked to see more exclusives. Sony, show me what you got tonight!

 

[kittenbreath]

What was that cell shaded game in the end montage? It wasn't featured anywhere else in the conference.

 

[Revson]

Gears symbol?

 

[Faiz]

Ok, Dave Jones on Crackdown.

You have my attention at least, MS.

 

[Draconian]

I told you guys they wouldn't show a Gears trailer.

 

[StarlordDial]

They didn't lie about games games games though ..problem is...too predictable...and too much CG sheesh....wanted to see more of QB and Gears though ;_; and where's the BIG 3rd party exclusive they secured?

 

[starwarsfan541]

That's what I was thinking. Main Character looks and acts like a psuedo Dante.

yea, if they were doing a game I was hoping for Vanquish 2

 

[EVIL]

So... where's Quantum Break?

pretty much confirmed they are saving that for Gamescom

 

[BPoole]

Pretty killer conference from MS. I don't think Sony will be able to top it since htey will probably spend time talking about the PS3 and Vita.

 

[StuBurns]

I think they did a fantastic job.

In terms of selling me an XBO, it was an utter failure, but it was super slick, no fucking about with services, lots of games, plenty of exclusive stuff, Phil is awesome.

Knocked it out the park.

 

[Alpende]

You guys saw the Gears icon yeah?

 

[Angelus Errare]

6/10, kinda meh to be honest. A shitload of CG shown left and right.

-Sunset Overdrive looked lame
-I never cared about crackdown

+Phantom Dust is hype!
+Hideki's English is beast

 

[PBY]

Unless they have a "one more thing," this was the worst conference in ages. Fuck, Microsoft is hurting big time. Only one possibly interesting game for me.

If you really think this, maybe your expectations for conferences are way too high?

At worst this was average. They showed games for 90 straight minutes.

 

[longdi]

Thats it? Where is the megaton exclusive?
What a waste of time, reminds me of Sony back in the early PS3 days. Obviously MS Kinect mis-step caused them to trail in games development.

 

[kanuuna]

Gears logo, but no announcement? Huh.

 

[Salty Hippo]

lol wat.

They play Killer Instinct's theme, bring Ken Lobb and announce Phandom Dust? I have nothing against PD, but the way it was announced made absolutely no sense.

 

[Ithil]

All cgi trailers, multiplats, known exclusives and a platinum game that was laughable

"Laughable" based on a CG announcement trailer? You didn't even see gameplay to judge.

 

[dorkimoe]

i was excited about fable...but i dont care about the being the villian part...just let me play the game

its not a bad conference..

Nothing Goofy
just games
no sales numbers

He did really good at presenting

 

[Eyemus Lutt]

Everything they showed was leaked already so it makes the conference rather tame.

 

[BeamImpact]

much better presentation that last year, but unsure if you can say they already won it

 

[RS4-]

Only thing that stood out for me was Ori and Iinside.

DAI, Division, and W3 aren't exclusives. So eh conference.

 

[Red Chocobo]

Third-person action game: The Conference.

 

[zero shift]

Boring ass conference.

 

[CyberChulo]

The only thing I want for my xbone is Sunset Overdrive.

 

[disap.ed]

Best MS conference ever IMO.
90 minutes of one game after the other.
I honestly couldn't think of how Nintendo or Sony could top this (Nintendo only user here).

 

[Freedom = $1.05]

no bomb at the end. it ended almost as underwhelming as the time that sony ended their conference with Twisted Metal.

 

[Creaking]

So just about all the rumors were true, but nothing much beyond that?

 

[AstroNut325]

I have to admit... this has been a FANTASTIC conference. No TV, no new SKU talk, no Kinect BS. Just games, and great games too! You are definitely starting to change my opinion MS. Please keep it up.

And I say this as a person who has continuously railed against the Xbone and biased in favor of the PS4. I sadly anticipate that Sony will try to push TV, multimedia, PS Now and other BS into their conference. I just hope the games deliver.

 

[Strider]

IMO that was a very good conference. Well done MS.

 

[PuppetMaster]

So Phantom Dust was basically the only game people were not expecting?

Besides Sunset Overdrive, anything I was interested in was 3rd party. So still not buying an Xbone I guess.

 

[AHA-Lambda]

A decent solid effort from MS, no megatons but at least they're on the right track now I'd say.

 

[GBG]

That was absolute trash. Everything was a sequel or remake.

 

[Xpliskin]

They weren't kidding with games games games

 

[xaosslug]

why did ANYONE believe Gamespot anyway?

 

[dvolovets]

I'm confused about the Conker appearance. What was that even supposed to be? So you can use him as a character in Project Spark?... and?...

Poor Rare.

 

[Not Spaceghost]

That was honestly a really strong conference for them.

Easily their best show in the past 4 or so years.

 

[Frillen]

8/10

A bit too much CGI.

 

[dreamer3kx]

CG galore, not great, lots of games but good lord.

 

[Anion]

So good. I want more

 

[mug]

Except for Sunset Overdrive, this conference has been a bore.

 

[God Dayumm]

Banjo kazooie tho?

Maybe at tomorrow's Nintendo Direct!

Spoiler

[rockman zx]

Solid conference but nothing more, no suprises at all. Looking forward to Ubisoft, I think they may have their own bomb.
