The Xbox One Gamescom Discussion Thread!

Very underwhelming show. Quantum Break, Scalebound and Crackdown were disappointing, especially the first two as I expected nothing from Crackdown.

Quantum Break looks like a generic shooter with funky time warps. Scalebound looked like a bootleg FFXV. If Gears 4 isn't good Xbox doesn't have anything I want in 2016.

I got the shivers reading this.

I am cool.

*****************************************************************************************************

Yeah.. I probably didn't need to go there. The fact that I know the game is great, is all that should matter. Back to playing Rocket League.

Yeah that's part of why I'm not too thrilled, lol.

I was really expecting more from Kamiya on the design front.

Maybe he knows this will not sell in Japan , so he makes it more of what Ninja Theory did because they're a British studio.

Yeah, that really sucks :( He reminds me of Donte mixed with Nero,with the whole dragon scale arm thing.

So Scalebound ended up being a little bit different to what I expected. I did indeed expect the fast paced combo based combat with some light RPG elements. That said, I liked what I saw. The combat looks great none the less while more grounded and less flashy. The whole dragon command aspect is cool as **** and makes for some awesome potential gameplay segments. And is this open world? Horizon Zero Dawn has some competition. Will be must have for Xbox One owners.

Quantum Break looked quite good, the time mechanics look nice and slick and the shooting looks fine. I like the whole time machine aspect of it where scientists fucked up space/time with a contraption, like a Philadelphia Experiment sort of thing, good stuff. Would play.

Then there's Crackdown 3. Didn't like the first game nor did I have any desire to finish it. This looks like the same thing with better destruction... I'd frankly rather have Just Cause 3 because I can airjack jetplanes and surf on missiles, 'nuff said.

Rise Of The Tomb Raider has the whole Last Of Us/Uncharted vibe going on. Looks to be well implamented too. The kill animations are annoying though because it initiates a cutscene and a camera pan every time you stealth kill someone. I'd like individual timed melee hits like TLOU has much more. And like I expected, the stealth looked cool as hell, but when things started heating up it became boring as **** poor mans Uncharted. Where on the contrary, Uncharted 4's stealth looked lite, but the shootouts, perticularly in the PSX demo looked vertical and open ended.

Overall, as I hoped and expected, MS cleaned up and they finally have truly great looking games coming to their new platform, finally! I'm happy they pulled it off.

And he even has a "Dragon Trigger" mode.

Is this why Kamiya was pissed?

That someone pointed out these connections to DMC?

@Ant_17: Not at all. He purposefully does this. There's quite a few references to his older games in newer games. Nothing weird about it.

Actually it's pretty logical. A game that links to a cloud computer that is 20 times more powerful than the One is obviously used online. Therefore, offline modes will not have the cloud destruction. Unless it requires you to play online to play the single player mode, which is janky as hell. What if you're in the Amazon jungle shooting a wildlife documentary and in your downtime you feel like playing some CD3 on ur one ? You can't. Lame. Crackdown 3 is lame.

I don't get it? Why are people hating? Gamers should be glad that MS is focusing on first party games and at least showed gameplay and not cgi trailers...

I think Suda and Akira rub off on him when they worked on Shadows Of The Dammed.

Suda is Curly , Akira is larry and Kamiya is Moe.

I was pretty bored throughout the conference. That is... until Halo Wars 2.

YES. YES. YES. Creative Assembly too? On Windows? YES. Day 1!

You might be confusing him with Mikami :p

Kamiya didn't work on that.

Holly shit , i did confuse him for Shinj.

I agree with evertything except for Crackdown 3 being lame. Its actually one of the most ambitious games ever.

cool, Shadow Complex on BC

like what I'm seeing so far

more Halo stuff didn't do anything to enhance to detract my hype

signed up for Fable Legends beta, new Quantum Break and Scalebound trailers have me excited, and both We Happy Few (that looks sick!) and Ark: Survival Edition have me excited, not sure what to make of Halo Wars 2 announcement yet since we didn't see anything game related, the first game was so-so, much more enjoyable with friends but not sure if I'd like playing it solo

I'd like to know more about these 25 indie games coming, like what's on the menu there that looks interesting

Wait until they bring a new Age of Empires!

Well, looks like I don't have to get an xbox one for scalebound. It looks slow, animation was shit, framerate was shit, dialog was uncharted esque... man it just did not look good at all.

Disappointing. 3.5/10

• Quantum Break - 7
• Scalebound - 5
• Crackdown 3 - 2
• ReCore - 0

Everything after Scalebound was sleep inducing.

The Only way I see 100% destruction working in single campaign would be when you are close to maxed out abilities, and only then are you able to unleash your hulk on the city. But Im willing to bet that large scale destruction is only limited to things like boss battles in Single player.

So there was no Recore?

We got a CGI trailer at E3. No way in hell they would have a gameplay presentation done.

Creative Assembly is currently the best devs I can think of, for making new Age of Empires game but unfortunately stuff that is not possible on Xbox One will never be released by Microsoft on PC. The closest thing that we are going to get is Cossacks 3 by GSC Game World (STALKER devs) coming out late this year. So, keep an eye on that game.

I believe in Kamiya that he will fix up Scale Bound by next year. It will run 60 FPS and will continue to improve the combat, mark my words!

I think I might bite on an Xbox One next year when Scalebound comes out. Game looked pretty good.

Yeah I guess so, I was just hoping for more information.

Same here. Especially since they have it sitting at a Spring release. That's soon-ish.

Here's an extended gameplay demo, I actually like this better than what they showed but holy crap that framerate is beyond bad.

of course the combat will continue to improve. thank you for stating the obvious lol.

if you want 60 fps you're gonna have to downgrade the graphics. the game has 4 player co-op too.

It will be 30 fps if you want it to look like that and have 4 player co-op. and MS is funding it so they'll take graphics over frame rate.

Mark my words it will not be 60 fps.

Quantum Break looks amazing.

Crackdown 3 looked like more Crackdown. I will likely pass on the game unless it gets stellar reviews.

Scalebound reminded me a lot of Horizon. I liked Horizon's showing a bit better, but I have more faith in Platinum to deliver the goods.

I'm also excited to see more of Halo Wars 2.

Damn, Halo 5 will end up being the only (retail) xb1 game i will be buying this year after all, but next year looks pretty hopeful. Love the Quantum Break cast and the facial captures, game looks fun and very cinematic even if visually it was a bit underwhelming; still, day 1. Scalebound was totally not what i expected gameplay wise but i am totally fine with what was shown and what they want to do while looking pretty dang good, also day 1. Crackdown looked like hot garbage. Conference was kinda boring (as i tend to find most of these conferences) but did enough to keep me watching.

I said the exact same thing (except for the lame part) and he ignored it. Good luck...

Pink cookies in a plastic bag, getting crushed by buildings.

@neversummer75: Enjoy it. It's a nice console with a bunch of games due out 2015-16.

I agree with that. Especially with what we saw in that video.

Scalebound looks okay, Rise of the TR looked great, and Halo Wars 2 could be awesome.

*Cough* DirectX 12 *Cough*

Speaking of which? Where is DX12 on Xbox One? Also, no I don't expect DX12 to make this game run at 60FPS.

Yeah and they already stated that they weren't going to show any games that already been shown from E3, this press was all about the one's that didn't make it to E3. Though I am surprise they didn't discuss on Ashen.

Scalebound looked horrible. Did anyone see how the main character walked lmaooooooooooooo

Terrible. Sony could actually fix this game if it were on PS4, but as usual, microshit ends up with more dogshit lmao

Up next on Tales of a Fakeboy: more shit

Are you even trying Xbox?

@lostrib: Oh look, a Scalebound hardcore. Lmao.

Horizon already took a shit on it...too late, shill.

Are we getting more Tomb raider footage? I really wanted to see some actual Tomb Raiding and instead all I saw was a whole lot of crappy stealth mixed with more of the same combat from the last game.

lol, i'm not sure how one unreleased game can shit on another unreleased game

You really are trying too hard

"shill", lol really?

Who said anything about Horizon?
