The Xbox Onesie

Have to say.... Looking at the polls for MS & Sony's conferences makes me sad. How can people seriously think these shows were anything bad? It was pretty much games games games from both.

Outside of Nintendo this was one of the best E3s in a long time.
 
Damn, crazy to see MS have so many AAA games coming out so soon. Good times.
 
Anyone try Elite Dangerous trial demo? Jesus Christ, like talk about just throwing you in there with absolutely zero direction. They should have included some sort of tutorial for the controls and maybe someone's voice to tell you what you were supposed to be doing. I flew around for 5 minutes, finally figured out what I was supposed to be aiming for and eventually got bored, turned it off, then deleted it from my hdd. Really bad first impression of the game.


in the training section there is a link to the right..

it takes you to youtube and explains everything....i had watched some of the videos when the game was first announced, hopefully they will put them in the game tutorial when it is released. But to be fair this is fairly extreme alpha release type software, you are not going to have a perfect experience, which i am sure you know. . .

Honestly, they need to do a better job communicating the controls...or at least tell people to click on the link. Didn't know it was there and didn't know how to navigate to get to it.
 
BC, the new UI along with Cortana and price is a big deal. The Xbox One WILL see a huge increase in sales this year. (I didnt say it would overtake Sony so suck eggs. lol) Not to mention the games coming for it. Going to be a good time for sure! Im ready...

wondering why they didn't show ReCore's gameplay footage.

I would rather see actual gameplay myself...can't get too hyped for games when its a CGI trailer anymore due to years of being let down by games who had great CGI trailers and turned out to be garbage. The companies and individuals who are making this game have a pretty good track record though so I wouldn't be surprised if it turned out to be a good game. I just figured that the game is in its infancy development wise and they don't want to show their cards just yet.

I gave MS a B+ and Sony a B with the slight edge going to MS because of backwards compatibility. The thing is that too much of what was shown was already known, for it to get the A+ range I need some sort of bombshell megaton, but that's just my own criteria. The closest thing to that was Shenmue 3, but I still feel like it could end up sucking, though I think Horizon was the best new IP from what I could tell at this point.

I've said this a few times, but after Fallout 4 was shown all I could hear was ringing in my ears like a grenade had gone off. I was just wandering around in a daze at that point. If you own either system it's time to throw a f*cking party.

God damn. Still talking about Sony in the Xbox E3 press conference thread?
 
Have to say I think the biggest announcement at E3 is still the backwards compatibility. One of the areas I was most disappointed with originally was the fact I wouldn't be able to bring my XBLA catalogue forward with me.....now, I'm a very happy gamer.

Agreed and I'm surprised more people aren't talking about it. I don't have the link handy but there is a place you can vote for which games get BC first.
 
I loved the look of Halo 5 in terms of colours and how vibrant it all was, but i noticed aliasing, very annoying shimmering and that;s something that i just hate so much. Especially after Halo 4, that looks so clean. This may sound nitpicky, but i really dislike that. If they can smoothen that out....great.
 
i agree, halo's biggest problem was jaggies until Halo 4 which fixed that but now they seemed to have sacrificed AA for 60fps.
 
I'm looking for a 4TB HDD self powered..is there a limit on how many TBs hdds have that are self powered?

you can get 4TB ones but you're looking at a high cost like $300 and above 2TB is the sweet spot right now get those around $80 plus.

I've seen 4tb ones lower than that but I'm guessing they aren't self powered. Thinking that a 2tb might be enough though because 30 games @40gb only takes up about 70%
 
The Xbox booth is so jam packed. I'll take some pics tomorrow. The wait time for Hololens (Halo 5 environment) is about 4-6 hours.

But really, Xbox is giving out nice little pins for checking out the demo stations for various games. They're so cool everyone wants to collect them all.

Here's one that is tough to get:

I post like once a month so I don't honestly care to be told what to do. Thanks.
Don't make it a VS thread bruh.

After seeing halo 5 warzone I think halo 5 is back in multiplayer and can't wait to play it.
