The After Thought on E3 Microsoft Press Conference

Kuma Wrote: Let’s be clear here that someone made up for their mistakes at last year E3. This time around we the gamers actually got a nice game conference and this came from Microsoft which shocked even the likes of me. I didn’t go into the Xbox conference with high hopes, but what they showcase made me happy and now that the Xbox One is at an affordable price, it is that much sweeter. Enjoy this recap of today’s conference on Microsoft.

They get an E for effort ...it was okay, too much CGI trailers and many multiplatform games. Nothing mindblowing but there were certainly some solid announcements.

SavageKuma4022d ago

There indi game selection wow'd me the most to be honest, but that Sunset Overdrive and Fable Legends won me over. They did a lot better than last year. Thanks for checking out the post.

asmith23064022d ago

"They did a lot better than last year." - like that was ever going to be difficult!

PSN-JeRzYzFyNeSt4022d ago

they re indie collection looked like trash compared to Sony.s

SuperBlunt4022d ago

very much so i was impressed myself. now fanboys can stop crap talking indies

Kingthrash3604022d ago

IMO thee games were more blockbuster last year. Tf ryse halo5 quantum break...forza5 ..this year halo5 cg crackdown some nice indies...it was a great show but nothing making me want a console from them.

choujij4022d ago (Edited 4022d ago )

I was expecting to be dazzled, but instead (with the exception of a few titles), we were shown stuff we've seen before and lots of pretty CGI trailers. Overall, pretty disappointed. Maybe next year, Xbox. In the meantime, sit tight on those store shelves.

"too much CGI trailers and many multiplatform games."

Lol what? Oh you mean CGI trailers for brand new announced games that still in early stages of development? Riiight think about it.

"many multiplatform games."

I can say the exact same thing about Sony.

xKugo4022d ago (Edited 4022d ago )

LOL, they have exactly THREE new unannounced games shown at their conference, out of $hit ton CGI trailers they showed. How that can be considered anything except to much CGI is beyond me.

Moreover most of the content they showed was multi-platform, while Sony focused on things exclusive for their console. Doesn't help either that most of what Microsoft talked about stuff we already knew going into the show. What happened to also those surprises and new IPs you guys were promised. Lmao, utterly MIA.

Good job Microsoft, yet another disappointing E3. You're the best at it...

RAWSTA4022d ago

Sony TV TV TV and numbers! Zzzz

Benchm4rk4022d ago (Edited 4022d ago )

@xKugo

"Moreover most of the content they showed was multi-platform, while Sony focused on things exclusive for their console"

Sure they did. Destiny,Batman Arkham Knight, Battlefield Hardline,Mortal Kombat X, MGS V and GTA 5 are all multiplatform. Even Dead Island 2 is multiplatform I think

Teknosaur4022d ago

Atleast they showed us games this time. I try not to get too excited by looking at footage of a game. I like to play games but Im not much for watching them unless I am trying to learn something new from someone who is really good. I was more excited than normal this year though because they finally understood why people buy gaming consoles

Retroman4022d ago (Edited 4022d ago )

My review quick MS ........................DULL. only good games i've seen Conker , Sunset overdrive that's not saying much . Sony had the show once again IMO

RAWSTA4022d ago

There is no conked just shows you didn't watch it. Conked is features in project sparks!

beerzombie4022d ago

Compared to the "shity" free "Ill rip you off" games that Sony showed.
Ms brought the games that mattered this year and a 1000 indie games is not what I call wining anything from Sony.

Retroman4022d ago

@ rawsta

duh!!! i know conker in project sparks. if you read my comment correctly you would known that and seen the show. i also said only (good games) imo was conker/ sunset overdrive.

Vegamyster4022d ago (Edited 4022d ago )

Can't say i saw anything "mindblowing" from anyone, lots of good stuff no matter where you go in the end.

ZodTheRipper4022d ago (Edited 4022d ago )

So what's mindblowing for you? An exclusive next-gen spiritual successor to one of the best RPG's ever made is the definition of mindblowing to me, and apparently not only to me if you take a look at these reactions on GAF
http://www.neogaf.com/forum...

Other than that I agree, there was nothing else "mindblowing" this year. Only Zelda U would be when Nintendo announces it in the next few days.

Vegamyster4022d ago (Edited 4022d ago )

@ZodTheRipper

I don't really get hyped off of CG trailers, i was hoping to see gameplay similar to the leaked gif snippets instead, i have no doubt the game will be good i just want to see more before hyping myself.

SuperBlunt4022d ago

very solid show by ms. Hopefully the future stays bright for xbox and its owners/future owners. tonight validated my comfort in buying a ps4 so i hope you guys feel the same way

0P-Tigrex4022d ago (Edited 4022d ago )

Microsoft did a better job at presenting what they have.. Sony's cheap jabs and awkward pacing and obnoxious presenters and boring Middle made it a very mediocre E3 for them. I truly hope they learned from this.

KwietStorm_BLM4022d ago

lol what has happened to you gamers? I can't even understand anymore.

0P-Tigrex4022d ago (Edited 4022d ago )

After looking at it from the outside... Microsoft did a better job.. I actually cringed and *sighed* during Sony's conference and i'm a diehard PS fan. idk. Just my opinion. If i was a NEW gamer.. i'd go with Microsoft just out of presentation alone.

beerzombie4022d ago

They are haters now Sony gamers and these young children do not like games at all they do is complain about games. If you go to any site the same thing happens including sports or movies sites the same type of haters say the same thing: everything sucks to them.

TOTSUKO4022d ago

Since when does having a better presentation result to good games?

I admit Sony's conference was not the most epic presentation but they showed just as much good or even better exclusives after the fact Microsoft had the most to prove on showing games.

Microsoft had good games too but I felt most of the xbox exclusives were too cartoonish. I don't mind it but it seemed most of their exclusives were like that.

SavageKuma4022d ago

Honestly Sony felt lacking and not many exclusives coming out this year compared to the XOne. Either way I was impressed by MS a lot only talking about their games and not to heavily on the civilian side of their system.

no_more_heroes4022d ago

When people say MS did bad last year, what you you really mean?

Are you referring to E3 2013, or MS's XB1 reveal before that?

KwietStorm_BLM4022d ago

People keep confusing the reveal with E3, or they're just holding onto sour grapes about the DRM, and not acknowledging that their actual stage show at E3 last year was good.

vega2754022d ago

Because if they keep using the reveal as the e3 show for last year then MS would have won last year too. Since all they announced was games which is what E3 is suppose to be about.

KwietStorm_BLM4022d ago

@vega

What do you mean won? And what do you mean "too"? lol why do you all keep feeding into this crap?

cityboy1004022d ago

I have both systems and its good to see MS is on the right track. But its just a little odd that MS got shot down last year and sony is Turning around doing the same thing with the games making u go Digital if you want to play the beta and extra content. No one says anything but if MS did this the whole world is coming to an end. I like ps 4 but the big games are still a year or 2 years away. Still glad that both consoles are doing well.

KingDustero4022d ago

They aren't forcing anyone to go digital. What beta are you referring to? Destiny's is available to anyone who preorders the game by any means. If you want the beta early and extra content you have to get the game on a PS console and that's it.

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.

Luc20254d 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

254d ago
jznrpg254d ago (Edited 254d ago )

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

darthv72254d 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.

andy85254d 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_drake254d 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.

.
(well, they're likely also working with Nixxes for the inevitable Spider-Man 2 PC port as well)

Cacabunga352d ago

Wise decision, enough with old gen games already!!!

DarXyde352d ago

Sunset Overdrive was great...

I quite enjoyed the Demons' Souls remake too. I'm more or less begging for a Bloodborne sequel but would snap up a remake in a heartbeat.

Concertoine352d ago

I’d rather play an older unique game than a new Marvel game.

Im so blown out on Marvel, I can’t fathom how some people seem to have a bottomless appetite for it. A studio like Insomniac could do way better.

just_looken352d ago

Yep those poor devs are now a marvel sweat camp

This port and a quick pc patch to fix some bugs would have been a great idea i actualy forgot its not on ps5 you think it would have by now.

But hey they got like you said spiderman 2 pc port then spiderman 3 then spiderman collection with a wolverne/blade tossed in.

Amplitude352d ago

From everything we've seen, it's not like Insomniac is being forced to make Marvel games - it's clearly a good partnership that results in good games. They're still making Ratchet games anyway which is what really matters

Redemption-64352d ago

I have no idea why people like you keep making lies. Does it help you sleep at night? Where are you getting this information that they are either being forced or made into a Marvel camp? Sony approach Insomniac when they were independent to work on a Marvel IP and they picked Spider-Man. After the success of Spider-Man, it was Insomniac who pitched Wolverine to Sony/Marvel and was given the green light

-Foxtrot353d ago

This is new…it pretty much confirms it can happen eventually.

I thought Microsoft had publishing rights or something

Eonjay353d ago

Yes you are right. Microsoft allegedly has rights to the first game. Perhaps Microsoft wasted to sell it back to Sony in exchange for a port to Xbox Series. This would make the statement make more sense because I can't imagine that a port of this game even compares to the creation of Wolverine. So Microsoft probably requested a multiplat port.

gold_drake352d ago

yeh, the article says as much that MS does have publishing rights.

Profchaos352d ago

They do but Microsoft doesn't really care about the game they are considering Halo 1 for ps5 so this would be nothing

badz149352d ago

MS doesn't just have the publishing rights for SSoD, they also have publishing rights for the next 2 games in the franchise!

Zeke68352d ago

" The game was later pitched to various publishers, which rejected them because Insomniac demanded to retain ownership of the intellectual property. The project was later pitched to Microsoft Studios, which was eager to work with Insomniac. Microsoft allowed Insomniac to own the rights to the game"

Seems Insomniac own the rights after all...

badz149352d ago

@Zeke68

publishing rights is not the same as IP rights or ownership. for SSoD, Insomniac owns the IP, MS owns the publishing rights. just like Sony with Spider-man. Sony only owns the publishing rights to the movies and games but the IP is still owned by Marvel/Disney.

Zeke68352d ago

See my comment below. When Insomniac left M$ they let Microsoft keep their publishing rights for... drumroll... Xbox and PC.
If they want to release it on PS they can let Sony publish it.

“It is important to note that Xbox owns the publishing rights to Sunset Overdrive.

Therefore, a PS5 port would need to be approved by Microsoft.”

I said this eight days ago and got disagrees.

Fishy Fingers352d ago (Edited 352d ago )

Most people dont read bro..

Had it been their IP through and through it would of been an easy release for them and its a fun game, probably would of already happened. The people saying no ones cares about Sunset Overdrive would be saying cant wait to play in 4K 60 if announced

NotoriousWhiz352d ago

"Most people dont read bro.."

Facts.

Zeke68352d ago (Edited 352d ago )

"Most people dont read bro..."

"The game was later pitched to various publishers, which rejected them because Insomniac demanded to retain ownership of the intellectual property. The project was later pitched to Microsoft Studios, which was eager to work with Insomniac. Microsoft allowed Insomniac to own the rights to the game. Sunset Overdrive was made for Microsoft's Xbox One console; it was released on the 20th anniversary of Insomniac, in 2014"

What I read is that Insomniac still own the rights to the game. Prove me wrong! ;)

Edit M$ owns publishing rights on Xbox, not Playstation as they never intended to release it on PS ever.

KwietStorm_BLM353d ago

We can forget about all of their iconic IPs. They're a Marvel studio now.
