Why Microsoft should (and will) go big at Gamescom 2014

GamesRadar - Xbox One is gaining momentum. While Sony has a significant headstart in this generation, thanks to a comparatively low price and a consistent PR campaign, people are starting to flock back to Microsoft’s console. Titanfall, the removal of Kinect, and some hefty price-cuts have seen Xbox regaining ground. Now, with Gamescom becoming an increasingly significant date in the gaming calendar, Microsoft is poised to win lapsed fans back once and for all.

In reality MS doesn't need to go treal hard or big considering they have healthy AAA's coming down the pipe line.

I hope MS keeps up the trend or rebooting nostalgic fan favorites, more indie arcade support.

I'm not really seeing a new Ip from them it would be somewhat shocking if they reveal as well as delightful.

Like I said more reboots will be a welcome they have a trend with that now. So I expect to see that and more Indie Arcades.

MS doesn't need to go real hard or big at Gamescom they have very healthy software. But TGS, TGS is a different beast for another time.

I think they should be looking to improve their image in Europe, one of the places they're getting beat in. It's really the best place to introduce new content that careers to that area rather then the US, which is something they have thus far failed at.

This gen basically just started, already X1 is selling ahead of last gen, X1 has a great AAA lineup so far, with even more awesome games still to come this year, next year, and beyond, its undeniable X1 has continued to improve with meaningful updates, and it still isn't available in a ton of markets, all while micro's transitioned to a new CEO who has placed a lot of value in the Xbox brand and the new direct Xbox leadership who is more focused on gaming first. ALL signs are pointing to things just getting better and better. They don't need to do anything drastic, just keep talking and delivering great games like they've been doing this gen so far. THIS is what will make it harder and harder for unbiased gamers who have been patiently waiting to buy a next gen console want to buy a X1.

Well at E3 scalebound surprised me didn't see that coming, or crackdown 3, or phantom dust. I am not getting my hopes up but i could see them announcing a new IP or at least a new game we have yet to hear bout like a Gears game or the halo game they are working on separate from Halo 5.

They need to because they are total weak sauce in europe. (As far as marketing and sales go) That said, I have a feeling gamescom will be great for both sony and MS this year.

shinrock4305d ago

I think they have good momentum going in. Should be a good presser.

Seeing RARE do something from their back catalog and non-Kinect related would be pretty exciting.

Like a new Conker Or Banjo game.

At the rate in which we have been getting them, and the selections such as TLOU and Horizon and other similarly unnecessary remasters, no.

In terms of reintroducing classics and making them available again at a reasonable price where as previously they were locked behind ridiculously priced physical copies, yes.

Luc20593d ago

agree with the Horizon but TLOU - I've never played it and the remaster it's quite impressive graphically so for someone who never played the original game it's a treat to enjoy such quality!

There a plenty of gamers who switch platforms and so I guess the remasters are meant for those

There is a new crop of gamers every generation that didn’t play the originals and some of us older games want remasters of older games to play them on current hardware. Overall I say yes it is good. Nobody is forced to buy them.
They can also gauge interest for older IP with remasters and it could lead to a new game in the series. Remasters aren’t for everyone but no game is anyway

darthv72594d ago

Chances are their parents did... and may still have them. That's how I introduced my kids to gaming. They played what I had and worked their way up. They learn to appreciate them better that way.

andy85594d ago

I don't have an issue if they don't take away from developing new games. It's always nice to revisit a game you loved in the past with extra shine

gold_drake594d ago

remasters of older games absolutely.

but i dont see how a 4 year old game needs a ... Remaster. a upgrade update should do the trick

bjt i guess for newer players its a good option.
