Still on a leash...
Cringe worthy the first hour (most of the fall titles) and better then with 2015 ones.
Lots of bullshit, thanks ubi. Lots of teaser CG thanks microsoft.
Nothing new, all sequels, the highlight was a collection of remakes of Halo.
The whole cool, teen humor was really cringeWorthy. Sunset overdrive tops them all with its attitude hiding the overabundance of scripts.
Maybe I m a bit harsh because I dont know Phantom Dust and the whole crackdoN teaser worried me more than it made me excited.

It would have been a great conference without the leaks of the last months. So there were not many surprises.

I ain't even mad that Platinum has an XB1 exclusive. It's exactly the kind of thing MS needs.
Ori, Inside and Sunset Overdrive look great too.

Solid presser. The format was great and hope everyone adopts it. The content was solid. No Kinect, VR, Cloud bullshit.
7.5/10 from me.
LOL!!!!
I would wait my conference being over before I started mocking the competitors Sony!
This is a great conference for people who already own the console and love MS' franchises. For me they still need to do more. But they have time, I think in 2 years they'll be at a place where they will be enough stuff on the platform for me to get interested, if they continue this pace.

Pros
- Games. Ori and Limbo 2. Yes please.
- Nothing felt too long
- No hiccups
Cons
- 2014 looks very weak imo. Forza, Halo, and SO is nothing crazy.
- everythingwascgi.jpeg
- No QB or Gears teaser
- Weak 3rd party showing. AssCreed and COD was same old shit.
- Unless you lived under a rock there were no megatons. At all. Unless you're a fan of Phantom Dust.
- Kinect is dead (could also be considered a pro)
- No new system features
Should have saved $399 and paywall announcement imo. The leaks really hurt the conference. 5/10. But still enjoyable. Just not good enough to make me buy an X1 this xmas.

This is what I don't understand about people commending games, games, games. If they're all multiplats that are inferior the competition what am I supposed to be thinking?

solid conference
game focused with some exclusive titles mixed with multiplats
7.5/10 no surprises since ntkrnl "leaked" everything but still a good conference
negatives was CG trailers

Gamescom probably.
That's a lie! Crackdown's dev studio is called "CLOUD"gine
. So you must have heard it once .Hahahahah!
Felt horrible for a guy. Like he was absolutely stabbed in the back by MS, and made to go on the stage and act like nothing ever happened.

Yup.
ntkrnl pretty much took the wind out of MS's surprises.
That was really solid, nothing but a parade of games. Really snappy. No megatons dropped or anything (or any embarrassing/awful/meme worthy moments either), it was good. I don't know about megatons, but I definitely expect Sony's conference to be much worse in terms of pacing, with plenty of groan-worthy moments when they focus on Vita and PS3, I also expect sales charts and shit.

- Some indies looked like warm shit
- Fable looked grim
- Evolve looked grim
- No Halo gameplay
- No big surprises

This was MS's best conference in a long while. For me, the best showings were Sunset Overdrive, Crackdown 3, and a couple of those indie games. Not as much exclusive stuff as I thought there would be.

Yeah, but most of the unannounced exclusives had been leaked. That would have been ok if there was gameplay, but there wasn't.
I think Harmonix were pretty pissed off when they unbundled Kinect. Maybe that's why he came off that way.

The conference was fine but no really must have titles and Halo collection is coming to 360 too.
The Division demo was impressive but most likely ran in a very powerful computer. Is very hard to impress gamers these days.

A solid 6/10 conference.
The presentation was better than any of Microsoft's previous offerings, and they actually lived up to their word. That said, the lack of real surprises here put a real damper on expectations and there were way too many CG trailers. Sunset Overdrive and Scalebound are the only games I really want, and for the most of the part all the games that were shown were known about, or were multiplats. I'm glad they had the sportsmanship though, friendly competition is good for the industry and it's improving Microsoft's image in my eyes. Xbone is the next-gen console I'm eyeing the most right now.
Still though, Conker in Project Spark was a bunch of bullshit.

Please no more CG trailers developers! This is not a launch year. So there should be no excuses.
If you do not have actual in engine rendering to show, you should not be showing your game yet!

I thought it was a good conference, but I agree with Keighley and Sessler that it was safe and nothing too surprising happened. Still, it was all games, Phil's little speech was nice, great look at most of the big games coming this year (I can't go crazy because they're multiplatform, but still a good amount of demos), Phantom Dust and Scalebound being announced is something even if it is CG. So, yeah, very good, but unspectacular. Maybe a 'B'? They just really lacked that one "lose your mind" moment. At least for me.
That Conker thing was evil though, straight evil.

7/10, it was very good !!
but too more CGI
but too more CGI
I hope so. An exciting first party exclusive and Morpheus would be enough to hype me more than MS conference but mainly because a lot of what MS showed will be better on my PS4.

RIP Kinect, you will not be missed
Sunset Overdrive, Forza Horizon 2, and Crackdown are multiplatform?!
Why didn't they keep them exclusive??
It also didn't help that all the unannounced games were already spoiled by leaks. The Conker reveal turned out to be a dud.
7.5/10
Solid conference, everyone makes a good point about nothing incredibly standout or the cg trailers but there was variety, a hint of humble with fighting spirit and really just games for the most part when I could watch.
Better than expected overall. Nothing worth me buying an XB1 for but still a solid offering for current and future xbox gamers.

Yeah. I mean, the conference was good and way WAY better than last years...but it wasn't earth shattering, there was nothing absolutely crazy being shown. I still thought it was a good conference though.

As someone who hasn't played a whole lot of Halo (I briefly played 1 and 2 back in the day), that master chief collection has me tempted. Sadly, not much else caught my attention, 1st party or 3rd, so I probably won't be purchasing an Xbox any time soon. Maybe next year.
As for the conference, fairly decent showing. Kudos to Phil and the team for living up to the games, games, games promise. Like I said earlier, he really is a breath of fresh air after Mattrick.
