Microsoft's E3 presentation

[gotrocks]

I'm watching it right now. Did I miss something or did MS just announce MGS5 as an xbone one exclusive?

[gotrocks]

rofl. xboxone*

p1999: Scars of Velious- Xbox One Exclusive.

[Nirgon]

That's the only way I'd buy ONE.

[gotrocks]

Holy fuck. Killer instinct 3. xbox one exclusive.

not kidding, and thats a really big deal to a TON of gamers.

[Nirgon]

Yeah well need to fast forward to the PS4 unveil of Diablo 3 and rotten vegetables being thrown from all corners of the internet.

Or maybe it will be unveiled at Blizzcon instead and thousands of hungry mouths will line up for Blizzard's boiled sausage.

I really hate to say his, because frankly I thought the Xbox one reveal was shit, and the subsequent shitstorm/clusterfuck was an even worse debacle, but microsoft hit *all* the right notes in their presentation.

Nothing but games, just like they promised. Exclusive titles that could really make system sellers for MS.

Forza 5
Metal gear solid 5
Titanfall (This looked BADASS, FPS multiplayer combat both at a troop and Mech level)
Halo 5(? on the number, assuming its 5)
CRIMSON DRAGON (Made by the same guys who did panzer dragon saga, looks exactly like it except.. you know, really fuckin pretty)
KILLER INSTINCT
A number of others i can't remember right now.

I'd say thats fairly impressive. I know sony is going to trot out some heavy hitters as well, but to be honest things are looking up for microsoft right now.

It just kinda sucks that no matter what you'll still need to pay at least very close to full price for games, which especially as they age is a bit of a drawback for me, as I like to wait until the price goes down to play some of the blockbuster titles.

Don't get me wrong, I would love to play some of these titles as they sound awesome. However it sucks to have a state of the art sound system in a 1992 honda civic.

Microsoft isn't one of the world's largest companies for nothing, of course they're going to make this presentation count considering there's been next to no good press regarding their new system. Besides, you can't have a bad conference when Kojima's got your back.

MGS and Titanfall are not exclusives

[HeallunRumblebelly]

Yeah. Why would you even think MGS would be an xbox exclusive? Hideo Kojima isn't exactly #1 Microsoft fan :3

Metal Gear became a faggot series. Stupid little songs and retarded story just keep getting weirder. Oh ya, don't forget the 16 year old jail bait unclothed in peacewalker. Fucking pervs. Killer instinct 3?! how long has that series been dead.

PS4 all the way, fuck Xbox

I bet you just can't wait for Final Fantasy XXCVII Team online vs part 3. :rolleyes:

I never understood MGS fanboys and their blind devotion to what amounts to a series of semi-interactive movies.

Heallun, i thought it didnt sound right when I was watching the presentation, but I had missed the intro to the MGS5 section because I tuned in a little late.

Tiggles, I don't doubt you when you say titanfall isn't an exclusive but... are you 100% positive...? i could have sworn they said it was, but i guess i could be very wrong.

Strifer, as I often do I agree with your post (though I REALLY wish you'd change your avatar back!!), but unfortunately this IS the way the industry is moving. You will no longer 'buy' and own videogames, you will rent them, and the second you disconnect your console you essentially returning those games. I know it sucks, but the PC has been like this for some publihers for quite some time now (isn't steam sort of like this atm?). Like I said, we are going to h ave to adapt, or speak with our wallets.

I'm about to watch the Sony conference, will post thoughts for anyone who cares or wants to know what happened after the video (or possibly tomorrow.... i am absolutely exhausted right now)

the whole "you licence games only" think is not an industry standard at all. The only reason the game market will move in that direction is if consumers allow it. It's corporate greed at it's finest.

An attitude of "Oh well, I guess thems the breaks!" is not the stance to take here. Microsoft is overtly trying to get us to purchase a gaming system with a bloated price and the ability to spy on us (read: required kinect attachment with creepy stalky patents in place). In return we get the ability to puchase game licenses and have no right to any property... which is totally controdictory to what like we have with today's gaming systems. What a great deal! It sure is awesome to give Microsoft the tools they need to milk even more money out of our pockets, right?

Consumers don't have to stand for it. Neither do you.

i completely agree with you.

people need to vote with their wallets, and they need to do it now.

unfortunately, i see games like sim city drop and pick up crazy amounts of sales and think 'we're doomed'
