A lot of companies headed over to Gamescom to show off their stuff, but there was one who came out on top.

The indie gaming scene is thriving. During the past few years it has been made easier for aspiring developers to create and release smaller, but nonetheless fantastic titles. The PS4 and Xbox One are home to a large number of indie titles, and even Nintendo, whose policy towards smaller games was awkward and intimidating, has made great strides to improve upon its relationship between them.

The toys-to-life genre has become an undeniable success, spawning series and figurines from Activision, Disney and Warner Bros. The tried and tested formula for the genre, aimed at a family-orientated market, has offered games ranging in critical reception, and also toys that any fan of the I.P would love to collect.
Square enix:
What a ride we have been on! GDC Europe kicked off the week for us and we had two great talks at the developer event. Both focused on technology (one on sound, the other on tools and sandbox design) and the way we’re making HITMAN a new and interesting title.
And then we drove straight into the, let’s face it, pretty mind-blowing world of Gamescom where hundreds of thousands of eager game fans migrate to every year.
Microsoft had a great showing.
Quantum Break looked awesome.
Scalebound looked great although I expected a fast paced combat like Bayonetta but it looked good overall.
Crackdown 3 was interesting with all the destruction and whatnot but I am more of a Single a player person so hopefully the SP portion is not shoved in and have a decent story.
MS should keep this up and hopefully like they concentrate on more 1st party exclusives like they said.
Can it be considered winning if there was no competition?
Still, an outstanding show by Microsoft!
I did!! As a gamer 😉
There were plenty of great looking games but only CD3 took my breathe away, so I would have to say MS!
As a gamer I feel I took home the spoils. Microsoft had the best show in my opinion.
