Sorry, I was wrong. It looked new because they brightened up that part, it was the part where it looks like the guy is walking through a catacomb or something like that. But that is also in the e3 reveal, just much darker and less detailed.

Yeah that's an advertisement alright. Still good to see they're seemingly actually marketing Scalebound instead of sending it to die like almost every single Platinum game has been. Also no KI is disappointing.
Well yeah, in the demonstration Dave Jones says that what he's showing at that point is basically a tech demo and that the destruction is mainly for multiplayer and technical experimentation since Crackdown is essentially a collectathon and destroying buildings in the single player would destroy the actual gameplay of the singleplayer.

That is what I want. More diversity. They have many genre's covered in that reel, so things are looking good. We just need to know what else they have planned for the balance of the year.
the campaign and full city destruction are two diff modes

No.......um...yea....um .......no not really.
Well then you should have actually shown campaign and not just one big tech demo. You want to tech demo? DO it at a panel with one on one's with press. But please show me how it all works in the campaign.
That was the equivalent of DICE just showing us speeder's and no gameplay in battlefront when they first announced the game.

They've acknowledged it was a tech demo more than a representation of the game itself, but you can't deny it's not a significant tech demo. We're supposed to be getting a beta over summer though, so gameplay can't be too far away.
That there's still a boatload of time for them to show the stuff you want to see. Especially with the Feb. 25 event happening.
Ye.

I am saying you don't spend that much time on a tech demo before even showing how the game works in motion in campaign.
The division was smart enough to show you the engine while they actually were doing a mission. Showing you the dynamics of AI, command's and such.
Naughty dog did a panel to talk about their tech. They had a trailer, then had a panel showing you how they achieved the new animations, textures ect. Then following that they had an actual live demo of the game and did another panel.
Crackdown just shows you how destruction works and how they are using cloud computing to do it. Would rather just have a trailer with some quick shots from campaign. Then you do your panel for tech people, news outlets to talk about what your using stuff like that.
Xbox = XclusiveBox for me as well at this point. Which, is fine, as it has Sunset Overdrive, Forza6, Dead Rising, and Halo 5
Both companies have flipped roles from last gen: Xbox is trying to gain ground with exclusives and PS4 is the place to be for multiplats and a few choice exclusives.

Like I said, 'might'.
If everything that's scheduled to release this year does and they deliver on expectations then aye, I'd throw 2016 into the mix as being Xbox's best year.
Different strokes for different folks though.
AFAIK, the latest plans as of mid-December were for open beta in the Spring. Maybe it will get more attention then.

I believe the PS4 has far more console exclusives coming out in 2016 than the XB1. That is especially true when you consider all the Playstation VR games.

I see alot of ppl say this, and then a look at how many studios Sony has with PS4 exclusives in the works... I can't agree
Sam said it's coming and i believe that man.
link?
Sony is killing the console exclusives I agree but I still think MS has a lead in regards to big budget, banner exclusives. I don't think Sony's sizzle reel of exclusives matches up as well imo.
With good cause, pretty sure MS wants FL done and dusted asap. I know I do.
OT - Looks like an amazing lineup for the year to come. Can't wait to see what other surprises come at E3, secretly hoping for a proper RPG exclusive of some sort.
This would only be true if you just ignore Sony's stable of first party development teams. It's Playstation's biggest strength.

Not a bad video. But man, Quantum Break is going to be spectacular.

Sony has more 1st/2nd party studios & exclusives, if anything.
But online test on PS4?
Anyway, nice add excpet that stupid missleading headline about best selling titles at the beginning.

That's true, I have a suspicion that multiplayer is going to be ready way before single player, seeing as they're only talking about multiplayer right now, hopefully we still get the single player in 2016.
At the same time, the cloud tech is definitely more experimental than "new animations or textures", and it's something they'd like other developers to get involved in/license rather than "this is something we made for our game".
It's going to be interesting how things look a few years from now.
Here's a spoiler:
Nothing has flipped.
At least Xbox seems to be more competitive this gen with the exclusive game offerings.

This looks far more interesting and diverse than last year. Nice trailer.
Mirror's Edge marketing deal would be something.

I think it was their biggest strength last gen. This gen they're riding a wave of better machine/poor MS reveal/Activision marketing deal. Granted their biggest releases haven't hit the console yet.
Without taking any merit from the games shown and personally looking to play a few myself, that trailer is grasping a bit at straws by beginning with a showcase of multiplatform games already available everywhere, then some exclusives, then some future multiplatforms, then again a recap of the exclusives and then more gears for the 3rd time (maybe 4th?)
Wtf?
Wtf?

Them not showing Fable Legends just cements my opinion that the game is just a sort of technical experiment/excercise to see how good a possible Fable 4(but hopefully not)/New IP could look under them.
They certainly have more but i think MS is having to rely on theirs more heavily than in the 360 era where everything multiplat seemed to run better on their console and Xbox live was head and shoulders above PSN.
Seems to me like it lost momentum after Evolve sank like a stone.
What exactly do you think changed between last gen and this gen? Those devteams are all just twiddling their thumbs?

I've been playing The Witcher 2 thanks to BC but gimme that new Gears. I bought my xbox basically to play Gears.
Side note: I like playing The Witcher on console a lot more than PC. My PC isn't great anymore so it's nice to just boot it up and go.

I'm hyped for Sea of Thieves! And pretty much every game shown.
He replied "yes" to a question asking if he hoped to see the game released on PC one day. Not that it will be. This would likely be MS' call as they own the IP for it unlike Alan Wake.
Now GIVE ME MY THREE AND A HALF MINUTES BACK!!! You could have at least timestamped it!!
Well for one, it did become a shitload easier for Sony to pull rank on 3rd party deals.

Gears 4 and scalebound are the only xbox games I WANT.
I'm Just waiting for the Slim version!
