Microsoft’s E3 2015 Press Conference Ends With Some Mixed Results

Microsoft didn’t exactly knock one out the park like Bethesda managed to do yesterday but there were a few things to get excited about. In the end; however, we were left a little underwhelmed.

Underwhelmed? Backwards compatibility is underwhelming?

tinynuggins3993d ago (Edited 3993d ago )

Haha I was thinking the same thing. Easily the best ms conference in years or ever for that fact.

"In the end; however, we were left a little underwhelmed"

BS...speak for yourself, I watched it Live from beginning to end and I thought Microsoft absolutely gave GAMERS a great show...and from what I'm seeing from the majority of comments is "we" xbox fans mostly feel the same way, hell to their credit many I associate with being ps fan really like it also.

Halo5 campaign gameplay
Gears4 campaign gameplay
RotTR campaign gameplay
Rares new IP Sea of Thieves
Recore new IP from Metroid Prime and Mega Man creators Keiji Inafune etc
Fallout4 with Mods from PC free on X1
The Division Beta on X1
New Game Preview Program launches today(like Steam Early Access program)
New Ion game from DayZ creator
New sweet X1 pro controller
HoloLens looks like the real deal, Minecraft demo was awesome
Rare collection of 30 old school games like Perfrect Dark

and.....

BACKWARDS COMPATIBILITY

-If that's a "mixed" show then I've never seen a good E3 presentation.

@4Sh0w

I have to say; Microsoft was NON-Stop games. BACK to Back to BACK; and almost everything was EXCLUSIVE... And the BC announcement was certainly a MEGATON. With that being said, I too (hopefully my bias isn't affecting my thoughts)felt underwhelmed. It's it like everything was "meh". It's like I wanted to be excited; but just wasn't :(. On paper, they did everything right... all the t's were crossed, and all the i's dotted; but for some reason (again, it could just be my bias...), nothing said 'go buy an Xbox'. In either case, great show...

P.s. Any 360 owners still on the fence, should be secured by this conference.

4Sh0w3993d ago (Edited 3993d ago )

Ooops I forgot to mention Forza 6 as one of my above highlights, game looks sick and its got 26 locations and 450 cars, support for 24 car multiplayer, dynamic weather all at 1080p 60fps, in your hands THIS Sept 15th.

gokuss while I appreciate your opinion as you can tell I completely DISAGREE with you on the underwhelming feelings. I actually got pretty pumped up about 4 or 5 times watching the show.

Yeah, BC is gonna make the XB1 fly off shelves. The only reason people haven't gotten on board yet is because they weren't able to play xbox360 games on it. There are literally tens of millions of people that were waiting for BC.

AngelicIceDiamond3993d ago

Sea Of Pirates, Ion and Recore isn't underwhelming imo.

funkybudda3993d ago

BC is overrated, most worth while playing games from last gen are all getting "remastered" on both consoles, no?

SolidDuck3993d ago

Yes very underwhelming.360's are pretty cheap now days. It's not all 360 games, 18 to start with, then more later. Honestly who cares. I don't give a crap about PS now either. Remasters , this, and PS now. I wish X1 and ps4 were about there games not last Gen.

4Sh0w3993d ago (Edited 3993d ago )

"I wish X1 and ps4 were about there games not last Gen"

-I think you missed a lot of the show like:
Forza 6
Fable Legends
Halo5
Gears4
RotTR
Rares new IP Sea of Thieves
Recore new IP from Metroid Prime and Mega Man creators Keiji Inafune etc
Fallout4 with Mods from PC free on X1
The Division Beta on X1
New Game Preview Program launches today(like Steam Early Access program)
New Ion game from DayZ creator
Variety of Indie games
New sweet X1 pro controller
and more....

^^^Those are all "about this gen".

Automatic793992d ago

Hands down this was one of the best shows for MS in a long time.

Backwards compatibility yes but not even close to all games will work.. Only some

vallencer3993d ago

It could be all as long as the developer says ok. That's all it takes. Just a simple ok.

Jdoki3993d ago

What! Today was like the relaunch of XB1.

Overall I was impressed and glad I own an XB1. Now I'm looking forward to what Sony bring later for my PS4

PizzaSteve3993d ago

MS did great guys show them some love.
