I think they were showing a co-op game, which yeah, wasn't clear.

The Division looks good IMO

Dunno what the fuck that Plantinum Games thing was. If I even had some idea of what the gameplay would be like maybe I could get excited?

Below looked a lot less appealing than I was hoping for in that brief trailer during their "hey look at all these PC games you can play on XBone."

Sad that none of them will ever be as good as Panzer Dragoon.

I'll give it to Microsoft, they showed a lot of games. Too bad most of them are multi-plats that will be better on PS4 or PC.

Lots of people are stoked on Phantom Dust(too bad it's from Rare) and Scalebound(looks like a monhun clone) even though they just showed CG trailers lol

And the only honest to God exclusives MS has for the rest of the year are Sunset Overdrive and old Halo games.

Well I think the biggest issue, and this is something I wouldn't be surprised to be endemic to every conference at E3, is that it was almost all new entries into existing franchises so everyone already knows what the games are going to be like and whether or not you're going to like them. Most of the new stuff being CG teasers instead of actual gameplay hurt a lot too.

Predicting Troops is getting an Xbox One and The Master Chief Collection because it's now the only way to play Halo 2 multiplayer.

(Surely Halo 2 Anniversary is coming to 360, right?!)

so, are people actually going to buy Phantom Dust now that presumably isn't a $20 game that MS was all set and ready to abandon

is this a part of a desperate plea to their OG Xbox Japanese fanbase

can I just kill everyone's hopes now and posit that this will have microtransactions out the ass

Of course it will. I can't see it being anything but free to play/pay to win bullshit. The Hearthstone of magical shootmans.

I wouldn't really call it a magical shootmans. It's more of a TCG arena fighter.

Remember when new Star Wars games were exciting just because they were on average pretty good to excellent games?

Glad I slept through the microsoft conference considering all that happened was the heartbreaking announcement that the shambolic corpse of rare was making a phantom dust remake and a cg trailer for a kamiya game.

So we are now at the point where smoke jets are necessary for a press conference.

I'm happy that Mirror's Edge 2 exists solidly enough to be featured at E3 at least.

Yeah. I hope they dial back on the combat though. Or maybe offer alternate routes around it? Seemed to be a lot of talk about multiple routes. Fingers crossed.

So Ubisoft is doing pretty well in terms of being entertaining and projecting but the casual swearing is pretty off-putting.

Assassin's Creed, ADHD edition. Pop ups galore telling you that this quest is important or that one...or that one! All which the 'player' he ignores because that's clearly how the normal player is going to go about it. >:I

That is a glorious beard on the Fitness guy.

And then the desync of the gameplay to him playing it is incredible.

As a long time AC hater, I'm not sure that's fair. The ship stuff in Black Flag actually seemed kind of neat, and the coop in this one seems like it could be half interesting. They're onto something, and incrementally they seem to be building the series up from a lifeless shell filled with samey errand quests into something with potential.

The core mechanics are still so bad though, even with three other people you're still just hitting counter over and over in a expensive vapid historical simulation filtered through dan brown.
