Xbox came to Gamescom 2015 ready to wow, and they did not fail to deliver.
Cologne is gonna get MERKED.
Awesome move. Politicians and gaming should definately be mixed, might ease them up a bit.
Please accept my down vote and the many others that people will send your way. Politicians and the politics they push have no place in gaming period. Gaming is supposed to be a good source of entertainment and a fun hobby for people to immerse themselves in amazing stories involving characters that a person can feel a connection with. Gaming is not supposed to be filled with political, SJW bullcrap so based on your statement it seems to mean that you could care less about gaming and more about pushing some stupid, idiotic agenda like the politicians you so admire. They are nothing more than crooked thieves and thug, something they always will be.
Couldn't agree with you more. And not only that, but Merkel is the very kind of person that could arrive at Gamescom and go all "Jack Thompson" after seeing something with a bit of violence in it.
Would like to know what is SJW bullcrap to you? Cause I see a lot of racist people just say racist stuff is SJW when its not.
I also think if you push for political leaders, that dont have super pacs, you dont have " crooked thieves and thug, something they always will be."
Or push for reform in regulating congress like super pac limits, fundraisers,lobbying,etc. you can fix it instead of having the hopeless pathetic attitude you give off. Im sure the executives and ruling elite love your attitude though cause they can just stomp all over you and use you with that attitude
blackparade isn't saying for them to legislate over gaming but that playing some games might make them loosen up. Let them play Nintendo if that makes you feel better. Nintendo goes mostly for inoffensive fun.
This is the last person we want involved with gaming.

The woman who is single handedly destroying Germany while other countries are trying following her lead (disgusting). I hate this woman with a passion and there is so much blood on her hands..
@grub, absolutely. She should be tried for treason amongst other things. When the 5hit hits the fan which it will, her and the rest of the eu cronies should be held accountable.
@Erik Enjoy your authoritarianism and "words are violence" speech suppression nonsense. I'll take my free speech :)
Maybe she can address the recent announcement of COD WW2's Swastikas being removed from Multiplayer and her thoughts on it?
She'll only say that censoring history is a good thing, which it's not and that she doesn't want video games to hurt little SJW feelings.
GrimReaperGamer Yep, that's what I was getting at. She's definitely not "For the Gamers".
Allright, I said politicians not politics for good reason guys. quote: "Might ease them up a bit". I just like seeing them in a different environment having fun.
Please never reference "hardcore" with Merkel again. I think I'm going to have nightmares.
But yea, on topic, why not have one of Germany's star game developers open the show? Why give this woman a platform to speak for an entertainment medium she believes is in need of censorship, not just age ratings? They certainly Merked this one up.
What kind of nightmares? Lol
Is it like the ones BJ has when you go to sleep in Wolfenstein: The New Order :3
Germany bans and censors a lot of games and because of that sometimes the rest of Europe get's the censored version too. South Park for example
Game developers love to leak little hints about the future projects they're working on. Here are five current-gen games we saw before we realized what we were seeing.
We sat down with the legendary Harada-san to talk about development of Tekken 7 and new characters, special editions, pre order DLCs and more
The conference totally blindsided me and I missed the whole thing. Thanks for this!
Scalebound looks as awesome as I hoped. And I may actually be sold on Quantum Break now...
Overall it was a great showing..Only meh for me was the chat adapter part lol
"During the Xbox briefing it was announced that all future Xbox 360 Games With Gold offerings would be backwards compatible on the Xbox One. That means Xbox One owners with an active Live Gold account will be able to download even more games for free every month."
Definitely can't beat that!
These are my top 7 in no particular order.
1. Halo Wars 2, should be even better than 1,now with mouse and keyboard support on XB1 and is being developed by a renowned RTS studio.
2. Scalebound gameplay with dragons and 4 player coop looms awesome!
3. Killer Instinct Season 3 reveal with Battletoad!
4. Crackdown with actual Cloud computation demo that many said was impossible.
5. Quantum Break impressive graphics and gameplay and release date.
6. ALL X360 gold game releases from now on will be BC
7. Hearing Phil Spencer manly words of confidence to gamers.
