GS - Don't Expect a Traditional Microsoft E3 this year

Yeah, MS needs to change that Sony has had it much too easy in that respect.

Well, truth be told, I do think it is very much the right move to bolster your first party. I mean, right at first with the 360 I thought things were all good and bought into the whole concept of multiplats being just as important as exclusives. The truth is that by having exclusives, and a shit ton of them, the PS3 became a relevant system and then a must-have system last gen. All the while, the 360 was kind of handed early success and MS didn't lift a finger to build their first party in case of a rainy day.

I mean, sure, I'm being a negative nancy for the XBone. I have my reasons. I think this is more of a reaction than proaction, that is obvious as obvious could be. It is, however, the right thing to do. Better late than never?

You should update OP with this, E3 can't come soon enough for me. :D

Microsoft's HoloLens Coming to E3

Microsoft's plans for E3 are coming into focus.

Microsoft bringing gaming to consoles and PC's.

Developers creating Cross platform games you can buy once and play on Xbox or PC will win E3 alone. Why develop for one when you can release on both. People talk about developers skipping Xbox One because the PS4 sold more. But if Microsoft get this right the potential devices a developer could sell on with minimal development will far exceed the PS4 sales.

Like I said before the landscape is changing. Microsoft have big plans and anyone thinks Xbox One is in trouble will be in for a big surprise.

Just like the last 2.

lol tactical and strategic? you mean butt hump each other and gather supplies to gain an advantage? slow sluggish movement, no hipfire, the best overall weapon (tactical shotgun) can only be used in 1 crappy default load out unless you buy the DLC (pay 2 win in a full price game) poor map design especially the night maps look like crap. It's about the bottom line of Mp games and actually I do quite well in it especially as someone who doesn't play too often. If you want a skill game, you play halo, Gears, titanfall. Those games you can take on 3 people and win if you better, TLOU with a low TTK, limited movement, poor hit detection, no hipfire just makes it not a competitive game.

and yes every game has some lag, but some are extremely minimal. the halo 5 beta ran like a dream, titanfall ran like a dream. sure the 360 gears and halo had some lag going on, but the high TTK in halo made it not a big deal. In gears it could be frustrating but since it was a lot of shotgun battles it wasn't as detrimental to the game as trying to precision aim with no ads and limited movement. TLOU is one of the laggiest online experiences.

There ya go.

Also, titanfall competitive LOL

Dont know what to say about MS but overall as a gamer i am very excited for E3

Man console mp is in a more sorry state than I thought.

exactly my experience you didn't encounter anyone until like 30 seconds in and 95% of your time is collecting supplies . All body shots too, not sure what your point is?

lol they should bring back j allard for the conference with his hoodie/ jacket combo

That's really what you guys think happens huh? They take all these demos and videos that takes weeks to prepare, then pool all these developers are are from everywhere between the US, Europe, Asia and sometimes Australia.. Then they all sit around in a room with a TV watching MSes conference then throw together an E3 gumbo before going on stage?

I mean.. For real? Now the next excuse is going to be that Sony has the later time slot? Oh man, you lems are a fucking riot this gen.

@darkangel115: that the game isn't meant to be a shoot out run around game. It's meant to be slower paced, tactical, methodical. It's not meant to be call of duty or battlefield or halo

I don't see what your problem with collecting supplies is; every player can do it and it gives more variety to the gameplay. Because there are so many different ways to play and approach combat, it keeps the game feeling fresh.

Edit: I was playing survivors, which is definitely the slowest pace mode of the game. One life for round. Not sure why anyone would be rushing out in the first 30 seconds of the match there.

What's with the body shots comment anyways? Kills a kill. Use the hunting rifle if you care about headshots.

Shut up and crawl back under your rock fanboy.

It looks like MS threw in the towel for E3 2015.

im willing to bet you didn't read the article.

You got me, sir.

Are you that fucking stupid? Seriously, are you just trolling or are you actually that stupid? Do you actually think that MS would be that stupid? We're talking about intelligent, well educated and experienced people here not like the idiots around here. I'd be willing to bet that they know what they're doing and the people around here have zero fucking clue.

Seriously. It takes months to get your on stage talking head to quote your product $100 lower than the competition?

@jcrame10: and killer instinct

Instead of football and tv it'll be about soccer and transformer movies.
