Today was the live press conference for Microsoft and the Xbox staff. The games that we saw throughout the press conference included the following:
A new IP was announced to the name of Sunset Overdrive. It looked pretty cool and while I don't think it might be my kind of game, it does seem to appeal a large amount of people and it does look rather enjoyable with its gameplay. New DLC was announced for Dead Rising 3 and honestly I was kinda lost. It seem liked the announcer was really too enthusiastic for the DLC but it was just new skins from what I can gather so I guess I wasn't that interested. Then we got Disney Fantasia information that was very quick and I didn't catch what was the focus behind it. Fable Legends is a new game that will allow players to play as either the fables from fairy tales or as the villains and wreck havoc among them. We also got a look at Project: Spark and it does The game seems rather large with over a million creators and the thing that got me curious was that Conker appeared for a few seconds and broke the 4th wall stating that they he hasn't had a game in ten years and thus he would have to make his own. That took me and probably the world by surprise. I do hope that we get to see more about Conker in future days during E3.
Microsoft has revealed that there will be a HALO: The Master Chief Collection available later on this year. In this collection, you get all four HALO game , with the anniversary edition of HALO 2 and it comes with the beta version of HALO 5 Guardians. I think this was the best thing that I saw from the entire press conference considering that I am a huge HALO fan! From the studio that brought you LIMBO, we get an first look at INSIDE and it looks glorious! It really captures the fell of LIMBO and will mostly like follow a similar suit in terms of gameplay and I for one am interested in what the game will be like. Wrapping up Microsoft's presentation, we got a better look at The Division, Scalebound, and yes Crackdown. While I'm not all that familiar with those three titles but they all look amazing and I wish I knew more about those games.
We then got a huge selection of games that Microsoft is partnering up with other developers and most of these games looked interesting but the game that caught my attention was Mighty No. 9, the spiritual successor to Mega Man. I can't wait to play that game as soon as it is released! Rise of the Tomb Raider, Witcher 3, and Phantom Dust were also revealed and while not much was known about them they looked very incredible. Ori and the Blind Forest really looks breathtaking and is probably the most beautiful game shown in the press conference! The art style is just gorgeous and it just takes my breath away!
What were your thoughts for the entire press conference? Do you think Microsoft nailed it or could it had been better? I personally thought that Microsoft did better than last year's E3 and it's great to see that they did much better now. Discuss on what you thought about Microsoft's press conference.
