Xbox @ Gamescom 2017 Live

Don’t miss the Xbox @ gamescom LIVE broadcast at 9 PM CEST / 12 PM PT.

[Obscure_Observer]

Yeah! I´m ready! Bring on the X!

[Eonjay]

You know after watching I think I see why Sony doesn't do a show anymore... granted that wasn't a conference but damn.

[InMyOpinion]

It was too cringey for me, I had to turn it off. Jesus christ...

[81BX]

Yeah other than the xb1x going up for pre order and Jurassic park.... That sh!t was brutal

[darthv72]

Didn't watch it so i don't really know how it went other than the individual pieces being reported on. Preorders finally opened, that's good news.

[Miss_Weeboo]

Bring on the XL

[Sam Fisher]

Ay yo

[Steveoreno1]

Can someone tell me when the Jurassic park trailer is at. Know way I'm watching this. Asking my for my ps4. Thanks.

[Obscure_Observer]

https://www.youtube.com/wat...

[Steveoreno1]

Thanks obscure. Not my type of game.

[whothedog]

It would of been nice if they gave me a reason to pick it up, though I doubt I would of wanted it at all. Why would I need this if I own a gaming PC and PS4 and recently Switch.

EDIT: I really would like a good argument to buy this machine. It is a under powered gaming PC with less capabilities. Of course that is just my opinion sprinkled with some fact.

[1Victor]

2017 and batteries aren't included that's a deal breaker /jk

[subtenko]

What you got to say now boi? XD

Im tired of Xbox BS'ing me.

[Bobafret]

Someone please wake me when they are done with AC.

[--bienio--]

Wonder if they are announce some new games?

[AzubuEntus]

"We'll be announcing TONS OF NEW GAMES"
- Lists off Gears, Halo, and Forza - lulz

[nix]

even some of the trailers were from E3.

the same 5 billion play time data.i wonder if they'll ever announce the real numbers. they'll probably boast the xbox x numbers though. i'm sure aaron just can't resist that temptation.

i also don't understand MS. everyone knows that this is a stage where they'll be announcing Xbox X pre order news but they just keep talking about PC and how every game is coming over. i mean what the hell is going on there at Redmond?

[DialgaMarine]

@Nix They'll only boast X numbers of it actually manages to sell a significant ammount, which even MS knows it won't. With Cuphead and Forza 7 being the only exclusives to note this holiday, X is basically banking on selling to people who want to play old games in higher resolution, i.e. people who already own a Xbone.

The X is not gonna sell well, and Xbone's overall sales woes will carry through the holidays.

[subtenko]

It was phil sponsor that said that right?

Regardless im not listening to xbox anymore. Someone Im starting too look at nintendo over xbox now. never thought that would happen again

[andrewsquall]

Crackdown 3 Multiplayer has just been confirmed to be NOT be there. I guess we have to wait longer for our "minds to be blown" eh guys?"

2 mins in and its already clear this "conference" will be easily topped by PlayStation's Experience conference in Dec. I guess there is always E3 in 10 months time Xbox fans.

Also just confirmed but Phil Spencer will not be attending (because, you know, the confirmed date of his daughter's grad just snuck up out of nowhere the last day or 2 and wouldn't have been planned for today months ahead of time). Must be down to the Crackdown 3 delay disaster from earlier in the week.

[Bobafret]

Then stop wasting your time trolling about it.

[andrewsquall]

Oh you're right, I'm done lol. I even gave you an agree and explained why I did which is more that can be said than 10 disagrees with NOTHING to say.

[nix]

spencer is a true family man. he won't cancel out on his daughter's graduation day but he'll cancel the games on millions of gamers. hahaha... how do these people sleep at night? peacefully, i'm sure, while fanboys are left defending the entire night.

[peppeaccardo]

@Andrewsquall ... the power of the cloud. They are just waiting for quantum computing to optimize the bricks for all of those falling buildings. /JK /S

[aconnellan]

Why is it a big deal that Phil isn't there? He wasn't at last year's, and he announced last month that he wouldn't be at this one

[DARK_WOLF]

Just something else for the antifans to bitch and wine about.

[ShottyatLaw]

Here's a June article saying he won't attend.

http://www.dualshockers.com...

Also, what is wrong with you?

[Kiwi66]

He said a few months ago that he won't be there so how does that turn into a few days , so why do you make things up

[81BX]

This wasn't meant to be anything other than a xb1x info brief. E3 is the big show for MS. It did what it was supposed to do but nothing magical

[Stevonidas]

I'm not impressed by CGI trailers in 2017. Gameplay only or GTFO.

[DarXyde]

We're definitely at the point where CGI is totally superfluous. I definitely agree; games looked very good running on One X in real time. Just show that, mention it's running on One X (rather than leaving us to assume all Xbox One hardware runs it that well), and you've got at the very least a very flashy showing.

[Stevonidas]

Do these two hens ever stop clucking???

[zivtheawesome]

so their big announcement "project hollywood" is a GAAS game that tries to make xbox a mobile platform.

[Razzer]

lol.....what?

[zivtheawesome]

i am pretty sure the project hollywood was that jurrassic park game.
it is taking the business model of mobile city builders into xbox.

[SpaceRanger]

Aaron Greenberg was sweating when they asked him about games this year lol he flipped the conversation backwards compatibility and xbox even games launched last year.

[MegamanXXX]

Lol 😂

At least we get Cuphead

[nix]

Cupcake is a gem of a game. too bad PS will be missing out on it.

[MegamanXXX]

I know looking forward to it

[FITgamer]

Waiting on the pre-order to open up on STEAM.

[freshslicepizza]

Which console can you play Cuphead, Crackdown 3, State of Decay 2, Ori and the Blind Forest 2, Sea of Thieves, Recore Definitive, Forza 7, Halo Wars 2, Rise of Nations, Luckey's Tale 2, PlayerUnknowns Battleground?

[Soulst0rmer]

PC?

[freshslicepizza]

@Soulst0rmer
"PC?"

I said which console? Obviously Microsoft has Windows 10, Xbox One X and Xbox One S which covers all areas for gamers. If people only used consoles for exclusives it wouldn't explain why month after month PC games being played on consoles are always on the list.

[UCForce]

Well, there is PC.

[nix]

moldy, you tried. but everyone and their nieces know that every game that's on xbox is coming to PC too. so let's not try this "oh look it's only available on xbox consoles" statements. makes you look like aaron on that stage who said "everyone buys xbox for it's amazing diverse exclusives". he sweat a little there. i really thought he is one of those guys who can talk straight up lies but man he at least knows what the world thinks of xbox. unlike you.

[SpaceRanger]

"Which console can you play..."

Aside from those that have launched...none. Need help or something Moldy? You do realize that they haven't released yet and won't be for a LONG time. That is if they don't get cancelled or delayed.

[BlackTar187]

Couple good in that list but noting that crazy.

Pubg is awesome

[BeOpenMinded]

Some of us do care to play these on console. I'm definetely not getting another computer anytime soon. Your only replies talk about PC

[MasterCornholio]

You don't need a powerful gaming PC to play Cuphead. My old Ultrabook can handle that game with ease. And yes I'll be playing the game on that.

[trooper_]

PC is a gaming platform moldy.
And you can play games on Steam. You dont need Windows10.

[freshslicepizza]

@SpaceRanger
"Aside from those that have launched...none. Need help or something Moldy? You do realize that they haven't released yet and won't be for a LONG time. That is if they don't get cancelled or delayed."

The whole point of the show was to showcase games coming, so do you need help on that? Also please explain a long time because Forza 7 is coming soon. Funny how people get upset at me for posting in Sony articles yet here you are posting nothing but negative stuff daily in Xbox articles and getting nothing but agrees, shows you how lopsised things truly are..

[BiggerBoss]

You should do professional PR for Microsoft. At least then you'd be getting paid

[81BX]

Moldy it just means you are all @$$holes. Stop worrying about these meat heads and support the games you like

[Antifan]

Stop thinking like an employee, and start thinking like a consumer. Xbox currently provides nothing of interest.

[jwillj2k4]

Time?

[SpaceRanger]

The whole time...

[81BX]

They weren't going off the cuff. Be serious, he knew the questions pre hand. He was sweating because he's fat. Go back and watch how long he leaves his mouth open gasping for air. Not healthy!

[SpaceRanger]

Lmao! Not cool man, and not the type of sweating I meant.

[81BX]

Lol

[cfc83]

Recore definitive edition launching on game pass. That's a win.

[freshslicepizza]

Free upgrade too.

[cfc83]

Yes. That's right, justice for original purchasers.. Check our downvotes. Fanboys - seek help.

[Eonjay]

Recores reception was very poor. A win would be a good game. A win for gamers I mean. Who are you referring to?

[cfc83]

People who get the definitive for a 7.99 pass.

[ElementX]

Wow, over 100 X enhanced games! I think PS4 Pro has 63, at least they list that many on wikipedia.

[freshslicepizza]

The PS4 Pro launched with about 12 ready for the system. Microsoft was better prepared and are marketing the midcycle console much better and it will also benefit 1080p owners more than Pro does and supports older games that will all benefit as well.

[ninsigma]

Better prepared...or most of those games will have already been enhanced for the pro before the X gets released 😂

[andrewsquall]

@ninsigma It is hilarious that people don't realise that XboneX simply has the upgrades of most games that came out throughout 2017. How could PS4 Pro in November 2016 had enhancements for games like RE7, Ghost Recon or Prey BEFORE they were out lol? Everything that was out since Sep last year will pretty much be will have enhancements for XboneX, its sort of a given, nothing mind blowing or astounding for a so called PC gamer.

XboneX was announced 14 months ago. It BETTER have games ready for it when you give that much of a heads up and end up jeopardising your current console's sales too.

So strange the way Xbone supporting older games is SO important to moldy who we know, never touched these games on an Xbone console anyway because he has such a powerful PC. Its almost as if his primary gaming platform this past 4 years is Xbone lol.

[freshslicepizza]

@andrewsquall
"How could PS4 Pro in November 2016 had enhancements for games like RE7, Ghost Recon or Prey BEFORE they were out lol?"

How is your enhanced version of Bloodborne? The fact is Microsoft is better prepared for older titles too than Sony was for its older titles. The Xbox One X will also enhance every Xbox One game, unlike the Boost mode which came out months later and does not help every single PS4 title or offer faster loading on every title or better aliasing like the XB1X will. Where is the supersampling for The Last of Us or MLB The Show? Get your facts please because 1080p owners for the XB1X will be beneficial with supersampling too.

[andrewsquall]

@moldybread I've made it very clear, many a time here, that I don't have Bloodborne. Never could get into From Software's games. Sony can't MAKE From Software do something they don't want to, they don't own them. And From Software are very renowned for their very unoptimised game engine anyway, would an enhanced version of the game be THAT better regardless?

You DO know that there are games on that list of "100 games" that aren't even out this year too likw Crackdown 3 and Kingdom Come Deliverence? I hope the supersampling is worth it for you when you get your XboneX to replace your XboneS moldy.
Now you finally get to play Batman Arkham Knight on Xbone with SUPERSAMPLING, your new game changer since Fallout VR for XboneX was never actually a thing, but a separate patch will still be needed to take advantage of that 2007 1080p you have.
Why bring that up? Its one of the better "older games" from this gen you mentioned that you more than likely own and played on Xbone. If you don't own "older games" for Xbone this past 4 years then why are you so enthusiastic about them but so randomly hateful towards PlayStation whenever you can be?
Did you just close your eyes when I explained the part where the console BETTER have good support when developers and the public know its coming 1 year and 5 months before its launch.

And about its marketing since you brought it up too, they marketed this midcycle console "much better", you mean this console that couldn't even be preordered over 2 months later after its final debut at E3 2017 and a year and 2 months after its initial announcement? PERFECT marketing, after that Gamecom abysmal showing, the preorders will be through the roof lol.

[psyxon]

PS4 Pro launched and within a few months had a game released that was basically built to show its power, and it was critically acclaimed, not to mention a completely new IP. If I'm being honest, they had 3 critically acclaimed new IPs released on it. Microsoft isn't going to do that, they aren't even going to come close to that.

[ocelot07]

Decent number of titles then. Yer there is 63 enchanted games for Pro so far. But the wiki list does not include future releases like FIFA 18, PES 18, GT Sport ect. The Microsoft list includes those games.

[Wallstreet37]

https://www.google.com/amp/...

More like over 110 games :) and counting. Wiki is not the best source of info sometimes if you want updated info.

[ocelot07]

Thanks @Wallstreet37 didn't realise there was was that many good to hear.

[slavish0]

Steam and Xbox crossplay announced nice!

[The 10th Rider]

The trailer for Assassin's Creed actually had me interested, though I'm not too optimistic since it's Ubisoft.

ReCore is pretty nifty looking too. I hope they fix enough of the issues with the game because I was intrigued when it launched but it had a lot of issues. I wish a lot of similarly received games got eventual updated definitive editions. It'd be amazing to see what Ready at Dawn could do with The Order with another year of work, or Remedy with Quantum Break.

The Jurassic Park game didn't look too bad.

Really though I just hope the "major" Age of Empires announcement they mentioned for tomorrow lives up to expectations.

[ElementX]

Yeah I haven't played ReCore but it did look fun.

[nix]

Recore was a disaster. MS didn't even market them like they normally do. they knew the game was dead out of the gate.

[Theknightofnights]

Recore was a fun game. A little bit underrated, but I didn't play it at launch when the load times were terrible. The game plays a bit like Megaman meets Metroid Prime, though it isn't as good as either of those titles.

I'd give it a 7/10 if I had to rank it.

[The 10th Rider]

It fell along with games like Ryse, Quantum Break, No Man's Sky, the Order, etc . . . All decent games bogged down by some major issues. I certainly wouldn't pay full price for it, but if the definitive edition fixes the issues I'll be on the lookout for a sale.

[nix]

Rider,

don't confuse fanboys by putting Order and Ryse/QB in the same para and the discrimination. they'll not know whether to agree or not. lol.

[Wallstreet37]

Straight garbage lol and omg these presenters are so forced and fake. No one seems generally excited. This is doing more bad than good, it really has me doubting if I should pre-order.

[equal_youth]

Seems like they are not even trying. I had high hopes too.. hoping for a little surprise at least.

[nix]

they're trying to sound like they're having a "normal" conversation but it's so badly scripted and acted... and it was so freaking long!

[Stevonidas]

I've never seen an industry that thrives on bait-n-switch like the video game industry. It's amazing none of the publishers have sued into bankruptcy.

[xX-oldboy-Xx]

MS seem to think their audience is 13 or 14, I don't get it. They treat us as though we're uninformed and easily duped. This isn't 1995. Hope it gets better.

[equal_youth]

Feels more like a pre or after show than an actual conference...

[ElementX]

Well it really isn't a stage conference. It's Gamescom, I don't think any of the publishers or manufacturers have an actual "conference". Gamescom really isn't about major announcements.

[equal_youth]

Wasn't there a proper conference last year?

[Eonjay]

They had one last year and the year before that and obviously 2014 with rise of the Tomb Raider.... they didn't actually have content to show so it was more a pre-order event wrapped in trailers.

[InMyOpinion]

They are spending all of their budget on making new games so that's why they had to make it this crappy. /s

[Nyxus]

So far this seems more or less like a repeat of E3.

[MegamanXXX]

😁

[corroios]

OMg, just end the conference, damn this is sad. Everything is old. This kind of conference just kill the low hype.

Please dont go with numbers, they did.., seven billions hours played.... jesus. How bad can this get.

[tim666]

that was pretty akward. best exclusives made my day

[georgenancy]

Another terrible conference from microsoft.

[Khalnaayak]

As usual. 😂😂

[ninsigma]

Literally just tuned in: "for those who just love dirt". WTF??

[Death]

Yeah, it was for the Minecraft editions Xbox One S. I took a ride down to the Microsoft store and preordered the Project Scorpio edition. They had the Minecraft console out on display, it actually looked really good. I left with Minecraft Favorites Pack for my kid. She loves building games so I would imagine she will like this. If she gets into it I might pick up a Minecraft console for her for Christmas.

[ninsigma]

Yeah I quickly gathered. It was just a strange time to start watching 😂

[tim666]

i hoped they Show some new games( new ip). i mean it´s gamescom and not e3 or so but i´m a Little disappointed

[opinionated]

Yo.. that Jurassic Park game tho 🤤

[letsa_go]

Definitely want that game and Surviving Mars!

[georgenancy]

lol this was awful

[iistuii]

Love Xbox, always have, most powerful console in the world yet its stuck at 30fps on AAA games. Such a shame. Still as a PC gamer at least they have the balls to give us their games so we can play them as they are meant to be played...

[Pricey]

How do you love or hate a brand?

[ocelot07]

I didn't watch this. Did anything decent get announced? I see a Jurasic World game was announced for PS4,XB1 and PC and that is all I have heard about (relying on twitter). Anything else? Any new 1st party titles from MS? Pre order date for the XOX?

[ElementX]

Gamescom isn't known for huge announcements, they showed stuff that's already been seen and a few gameplay trailers. Nothing mindblowing.

[ocelot07]

I know it's not known for big announcements. But I was hoping to here one or 2 new announcements. Didn't Halo Wars 2 get announced at 2015 or 2016 Gamescom?

[andrewsquall]

Stop with the random damage control. I can tell you right now that Gamescom hasn't had any major new announcements when SONY stopped doing conferences at them.
Last gen PlayStation would always have a brand new trailer for all their upcoming games like ND's or Insomniac at Gamescom and announce new games too made by EU studios like Eyepet ^_^.
Even Sony's last major presence at Gamescom in 2014 they showed Bloodborne gameplay, new trailers for The Order 1886, LittlebigPlanet 3, Infamous First Light (you know actual exclusives). New announcements like Until Dawn, Wild, Alienation, Tearaway Unfolded and then other 3rd party stuff too on top of all that.

Now Sony has the Paris event and their own PSX so they don't have to show anything at Gamesom but don't try to downplay this awful showing by Microsoft of baffling repeat trailers of E3 2 months ago and other silly mulitplatform "exclusive" games.

[Death]

@Andrew,

Microsoft has something like 170 Xbox One X and PC stations set up for gamers to play at Gamescom. With the launch of Xbox One X in a couple months, the message seems to be more about the features and benefits of the console and getting as many people to try it as possible. Seems like a pretty solid strategy especially since Europe hasn't really embraced Xbox this gen. Announcing new games to people that don't own the console sounds kind of silly.

[trooper_]

They still should have announced SOMETHING.

[Razzer]

sigh.....well saw a couple of cool trailers.

[Enjoigamin]

Honestly i can't wait for the X but this was truly a waste of my time...

[BLKxSEPTEMBER]

Got my pre order in just now !!!!

[ElementX]

Same.

[equal_youth]

I wanted too, but i'm still on the fence. Might as well just get a new graficscard and CPU.

[ElementX]

I pre-ordered but I was thinking of upgrading my PC sometime. I'm tired of having UPlay and Origin, and all the other PC gaming services. I may cancel my pre-order, I have time.

[XStation4pio_Pro]

One x Scorpio edition pre-ordered! So pumped.

[Imalwaysright]

Cuphead is the only game that had me genuinely excited. It looked bloody amazing!

[Why o why]

Yep, been excited about that project since its reveal. A lots riding on this title. I hope it shines. Good luck MDHR

[SegaGamer]

Looked a bit like a modern Gunstar Heroes, which is one of my favourite games ever.

[Razzer]

I'll wait for reviews, but I love the style.

[andrewsquall]

The only thing that came out of this conference is the confirmation of the next 2 weeks of N4G articles with the words "Xbox" "underwhelming" "disappointing" and "in trouble" in the title.
This "conference" was supposed to change that. It did not.

[Death]

I'm not sure where you are getting your information from. The only ones that feel Xbox One X is in trouble or is underwhelming are the ones that want it to fail. The conference was pretty much what most people thought it would be.

[Gibreel87]

And what's that? Shit! Because that's the best way to describe this "show".

[Death]

Gamescom followed e3 which was just in mid June. If you expected much more than what you got, perhaps you had unrealistic expectations.

[WePlayDirty]

So there is nothing new... no new good games.... SNOOZEFEST

[DialgaMarine]

That "show" was awful. Not only was it all the same content from E3, it was even the same exact trailers, just condensed. I know Gamescom is supposed Germany's equivalent to E3, but seeing as the whole thing was in english, it's obvious they were seeking US attention as well.

The only that caught my attention was the Jurassic World game from Frontier, which I will buying for PS4.

[UnHoly_One]

That blond with the British accent is ridiculously sexy.

[opinionated]

Super disappointed they didn't show anything new for state of decay 2. How long are they going to show that same exact trailer and answer the same questions in interviews?

[shaenoide]

Geez it was E3 all over again with more awkward moments...

[trooper_]

Another embarrassing showing by Microsoft.

[SixFragz]

Holy hell was that show a lot of phooey.

[Good-Smurf]

Wow good thing I didn't lose my sleep over this "conference" it was around 25 minutes before the livestream that I decided that it might not be worth it and just go to bed,I think I was right lol.
I would be pissed staying up past 2 AM for this shit.

[OldGuyStillGaming]

The

[OB1Biker]

I dont think anyone expected mindblowing news, its just a live broadcast. Even if Im not into xbox I think there was some cool stuff even if nothing really new. The only criticism Id say is they go on and on about the X and making it look like its an X event rather than xbox
Better than nothing I hope they do live broadcast like that for PS even when theres no conference.

[MrWonderful]

In the words of Ben Parker. " With great power comes great responsibility." Xbox has power and no games to justify buying another $500 console. I guess my one s will do the job until something comes out that says buy me and it's exclusive

[Father__Merrin]

They only have gears halo forza...
Gears fable

Gears is also on PC, halo main game is X1 but halo wars is also PC

Forza horizons is also PC forza 7 is on PC

What are they doing this is un-defendable for Xbox fans. I predict a future fable to be PC also. Crackdown is PC

I would never put any game on PC this is why Xbox has dropped there are No GAMES period.

Just look at last guardian might not be a world beater but it's PS4 only I'm afraid Microsoft has lost now look how they have changed from last gen.

Ps. If a new PGR comes out I also predict it to be PC

[Apex13]

£450 for a system that will play enhancements of games you can get on Xbox one S/Xbox one just isn't worth it. When they do games from the ground up then I will be interested.

[jznrpg]

Lol , that was the worst

[HeyNowChillax]

Just watch the 3 min highlight video. https://www.youtube.com/wat...

Pre-ordered X1X for a bud who isn't into PC gaming, perfect for couch gaming jockies. I'm still debating going GTX 1080 and sticking with "Play Anywhere" exclusives for MS titles and PS4 Pro for multi-plats. If anyone is interested, newegg is selling GTX 1080 for $460 today. https://slickdeals.net/f/10...
