Haven't yet seen the full conference, but what I've seen and heard has convinced me to finally pick up an Xbox One to keep my PS4 company :) can't wait to check out some of the 360 games I missed out on as well. Tim, I love your shirt thing!!
I don't get "Playstation fans" when they bash Xbox. I mean if you love Playstation why do you follow Xbox news and stuff. I brought my Xbox with my money not yours. I brought my Playstation with my money. Half the comments from E3 are just people hating on Xbox or Playstation which makes no sense because you don't get payed for marketing the console. Unless you have a share with Sony you don't matter and your just being a annoying kid on the Internet.
It has more to do with the fact that all throughout last gen all Xbox fans did was insult, berate and make fun of PS fans for every little thing, an eye for an eye.
Jose Ayala That makes no sense if most Xbox fans changed to PlayStation. Unless gamers grow up we fucked. That eye for an eye shit is some child like thinking. How does bashing the Xbox help Playstation fans? Same as Xbox fans bashing Playstation games. The comment section on IGN is one of the worst on the internet. How can developers listen to feedback when half the comments are insulting the consoles? This E3 for me has been the best and with Sony in about five minutes it going to be even more awesome.
Louis Serrano Some Xbox fans changed to Playstation because the original ideology of the Xbox ONE was horrible, it didn't cater to the gamers and was trying to be everything else first while a games console last. Let's not sugarcoat it they shot themselves in the foot from the get go, it was their fault, but just because some Xbox fans changed consoles does not overwrite everything that happened and was said during the 7th gen.
Louis Serrano Deep down, people are primitive, tribal creates that feel a need to join groups with other like-minded individuals to do battle with their perceived rivals. It happens between nations, in politics, and in sport; gaming manufacturer rivalries are just another manifestation of this primitive need to take sides. In other words, people are dumb.
I was so deadset on getting a ps4 when I get the money together (I'm permabroke) ... but this conference.... Damn. They really pulled out the big guns. Backwards compatibility is stellar. The games looked awesome. I'm really on the fence now.
Xbox backwards compatibility was huge. I've gone from not caring about Xbone to seriously considering getting one. As someone who's never owned any of the Xboxes, a 2-for-1 looks like a great deal.
Wait you never owned an xbox and yet you would buy one because of backwards compatibility ? How many games do you buy in one year 50+ ? As far as I see it, bc only makes sense if you have a huge 360 collection and haven't got any of the new consoles yet. I didn't own a 360 and with all the great games they showed where should I even find the time to go buy and play last gen games ?
The backwards compatibility and the controller were the big things for me. Those two points are going to stoke the fire of competition. I was completely disinterested in their games though.
Flounderboy15 BC is completely useless and pointless... i dont understand why that is the headline from the ms conference lmao... we are nearly 2 years in, i would get hype if it was announced at launch but it wasnt. if you have the 360 just play it there.
Wow Colin's opinion on Sony's Backwards compatibility changed a lot from this show to when Sony actually implemented PS2 games on PS4. From "it sucks that you have to buy those games again" to chastising people taking shots at Sony for not allowing people to insert a PS2 disc into a PS4 and download the compatible game.
Geoffrey Smart it will do fine but due to the crazy amount of time people will anticipate putting in to FO4 a lot will put off buying Tomb Raider until they know they have time for it...
Na, I think they've got Fallout's draw down to a tee. Fallout 3 and NV have transformed that series into a behemoth. As Colin said yesterday, every other game at E3 doesn't have a chance to steal Fallout's thunder, but especially if they're being released within the same period. The only developers capable of doing so aren't at E3 either (i.e. Rockstar & Valve), so from the word-go Bethesda and Fallout are out in front, and it will stay that way unless something absolutely jaw dropping happens.
Geoffrey Smart Bethesda appeal to casual gamers as much as anything not called League of Legends or Minecraft. It's actually older hardcore RPG Fallout fans (1, 2 and NV to some extent) that are jaded on the series.
Mc_Laggin You must be impossible to please. If Colin says this was a damn good press conference... and you STILL can't see the writing on the wall. You are just plain irrational.
Backwards compatibility was the biggest announcement by far, although I'm still convinced Playstation will have better games lined up for their conference. Also, Tomb Raider needs to desperately move that release date as Colin mentioned.
Lol no. I have both consoles. Don't forget though xbox had a big holiday last year and Sony released bloodborne a few months later and that's it (let's forget about the order). I don't think 1 great game means that the ps4 is held down for the first 3 years.
bix hutch Remember what Shigeru Miyamoto said, "A delayed game is eventually good, but a rushed game is forever bad." It sucks when games get delayed, but if the wait is the difference between a good and bad game, its worth it.
bix hutch sony knows that they are in a good position. No need to kill their games by releasing them in the same timeframe as fallout , star wars battlefront and all the other big games
Microsoft paid for the right to say that Tomb Raider was a limited exclusive just like Sony paid for all their branding all over Star Wars Battlefront. It's all about the money and bragging rights.
I agree with Colin, it wouldnt be smart to release on the same day as Fallout 4. But to be honest Rise of the Tomb Raider interests me a ton, while Fallout just isnt for me. Can't wait for this gaming season!
If they release Tomb Raider early next year it won't be competing with Uncharted because they're on two different consoles. I totally think they need to move it, I plan on getting it but won't be playing anything else for a few months after Fallout comes out.
i think Sea of Thieves looks awesome. That is a game that I have always wanted, never thought Rare would be the one to bring that dream to life, but hey I love those guys
I think Rise of the Tomb Raider will sell fine (IMO) you guys are really really overestimating Fallout 4 , not saying Fallout 4 will outsell Tomb Raider it will but Just saying it will sell fine.
people will buy tomb raider, just because fallout will come out on the same day doesn't mean people won't buy it. They're so different that I don't think there will be much overlap
I was actually really surprised by the Indie Titles. But kinda find them meh because they are not actually XBOX exclusive (which sucks because if they were, I would really buy XBOX ONE just for those). But I can't deny that Microsoft is really following what players are needed. I'm kinda worried for SONY now.... dunno what they are hiding in their Sleeves....
To be honest Microsoft did a good job and this is coming from a Sony fan. I understand that Microsoft has games coming out this year. I am actually glad that Sony's games are coming out next year. I have too many games to finish. I am putting mad hours into witcher 3 and I will be putting mad hours into fallout 4. I have mortal kombat X to enjoy. I also have 3DS games I have to finish. Sony can take their time with their exclusives. I am happy that Hitman was announced and Deus Ex Mankind Divided was announced. Next year is going to be a great year for Sony fans. This year is going to be great for Microsoft fans. I might buy a X1 on black friday just to play the Gears collection. Even though I can just play it on my 360. I am surprise they are not making gears as one of the games for backwards compatibility. But whatever works for them.
I think Colin's being a little dramatic about fallout 4, I get it's a great franchise but I know quite a few people who don't enjoy VATs and who aren't interested in the game (including Tim)
Backwards compatibility was nice...really nice actually. The rest...meh? We knew about Tomb Raider, Halo. Gears announcement, never been a big fan. Still waiting for those great exclusives MS. Yes, there are exclusives, which is more than they can say in the past. But Tomb Raider is a carbon copy of Uncharted, granted a great series. Halo looked the exact same as it always has. Gears, same as well. Point being, very unoriginal content in my opinion.
But do you not feel the same about God of war, uncharted, little big planet, killzone, ratchet clank, infamous, and gran turismo ? Because all those games are basically sequels copy and pasted over and over the same way as the MS games you mentioned. It's like the other guy said... This is just gaming in general, it's what all the big three do.
Really? Some people are saying the conference was bad? Haha! There definitely PlayStation fanboys. Just like Colin said you must of been watching a different conference!
Gamer Logic: Gamers: We want new next gen experiences that can't be done in last gen consoles. Next gen games and consoles release. Gamers: We want backwards compatibility to play the old games. Me: *facepalm* ---------------- It was an okay conference, at least about as good as last year, not the amazing experience you make it look like. How many of those games where just cgi trailers? How many featured guns? How many where sequels we already knew about? Fallout 4, again?, literally the same video we already saw on sunday? Really? About the only thing I can really give them credit for is the indie focus, whose games actually looked interesting. Halo 5 was just more of Halo, Turn 10 was once again beating themselves of to their game while kissing the ass of the car company partnering with them (this time it was Ford), Gears 4 looked alright, Tomb Raider looked like more of the same Tomb Raider that now loves to abuse Lara, is anyone on Xbox even truly excited for Fable anymore? Especially after how dissapointing the last few games have been (or so every single Xbox fan I know says), etc. Like I said, this was just as good as last years conference, almost the same to a T.
Lol Halo 5 looks like destiny Gears 4 was hardly a demo more like a visual demo and Rise of the Tomb Raider was 6 minutes of wall climbing you wanna talk about underwhelming???Releasing exactly what everyone thought you were gonna release.All of there new IP's were just trailers opposed to Sony who may not have had Dates to throw at people but they had gameplay.
***** Shouldn't that be the other way around? Destiny looks like Halo. And a key difference between what MS showed and Sony showed is that MS showed games that are coming out this year, Sony showed games that come out next year(maybe). Oh and FF7 and Shenmue 3(two of the biggest titles at Sony's event) didn't have gameplay either, hell Shenmue didn't even have a trailer. Personally I think Sony's showing was better but you're really reaching to discredit the MS event.
Watching the Star Wars Battlefront reveal right now...Colin, Fallout 4 has a run for it's money on Game of the Show. Battlefront looks incredible.
Really great conference. And of course, great coverage. Looking forward to seeing what Sony has tonight.
It was such a good conference! Loving MS and their new approach.
I like the backwards compatibility announcement, this means we can stop unnecessary remasters.
Tim: "To my right, or I guess your left..."
Greg: "It's still your right, even though it's their left."
Tim: "You're right."
brilliant
Way to go tim I see your progress as a host happening right before my very eyes.
Dense conference not sure if Sony has that much.
Congrats on 100k subs for this channel
Haven't yet seen the full conference, but what I've seen and heard has convinced me to finally pick up an Xbox One to keep my PS4 company :) can't wait to check out some of the 360 games I missed out on as well.
Tim, I love your shirt thing!!
Microsoft is reinvesting the soccer mom money into indie and exclusive games. Really smart and a sustainable model.
Sooo fun watching these videos after the sony press conference :D
Actually, mod support will be coming to PS4, just at a later date after it comes to the Xbox One.
Source?
martin figueroa Todd Howard gave an interview on TH-cam and he said it during this interview.
Carl Freemerman Howard confirmed it himself. Its just coming at a later date. Mods are obviously coming to PC first, then to xbox then to PS4.
ChrisbeFoSerious Nah he said he wanted it, didn't confirm.
ChrisbeFoSerious He said that It was up to PS4 to allow it/figure out how to do it.
Sony just needs to make ps now free for ps+ subscribers
Cody Clark That would be...epic. Or some sort of discount for being a PS + subscriber. 5 extra/month?
A Reitz That would be the solution.
I don't get "Playstation fans" when they bash Xbox. I mean if you love Playstation why do you follow Xbox news and stuff. I brought my Xbox with my money not yours.

Louis Serrano this is a games conference after all, you dont have to be a fan of a company to watch what games they will reveal
Louis Serrano Deep down, people are primitive, tribal creates that feel a need to join groups with other like-minded individuals to do battle with their perceived rivals. It happens between nations, in politics, and in sport; gaming manufacturer rivalries are just another manifestation of this primitive need to take sides. In other words, people are dumb.

MS killed it.
I wonder if Colin has played Elite Dangerous. He might enjoy it if he likes space exploration.
Wow Colin's opinion on Sony's Backwards compatibility changed a lot from this show to when Sony actually implemented PS2 games on PS4. From "it sucks that you have to buy those games again" to chastising people taking shots at Sony for not allowing people to insert a PS2 disc into a PS4 and download the compatible game.
You're completely overestimating Fallout's clout. Tomb Raider will do just fine.
Geoffrey Smart it will do fine but due to the crazy amount of time people will anticipate putting in to FO4 a lot will put off buying Tomb Raider until they know they have time for it...
Yeah but I also think Tomb Raider appeals to a far larger part of casual gamers than Fallout.
Na, I think they've got Fallout's draw down to a tee. Fallout 3 and NV have transformed that series into a behemoth. As Colin said yesterday, every other game at E3 doesn't have a chance to steal Fallout's thunder, but especially if they're being released within the same period.

Geoffrey Smart Bethesda appeal to casual gamers as much as anything not called League of Legends or Minecraft. It's actually older hardcore RPG Fallout fans (1, 2 and NV to some extent) that are jaded on the series.
Besides backwards compatibility, it was pretty mediocre.
Mods?
Agreed 👍🏻
Mc_Laggin You must be impossible to please. If Colin says this was a damn good press conference... and you STILL can't see the writing on the wall. You are just plain irrational.
Chris Casanova
Exactly
People need to look at these things a little more objectively.
It was a good/great conference.
I feel that crackdown, quantum break and scalebound will be at gamescom
Backwards compatibility was the biggest announcement by far, although I'm still convinced Playstation will have better games lined up for their conference. Also, Tomb Raider needs to desperately move that release date as Colin mentioned.
The problem with the Sony games is how long do we have to wait to get them?
bix hutch you have experience with that dont you... no games this year so far...
Lol no. I have both consoles. Don't forget though xbox had a big holiday last year and Sony released bloodborne a few months later and that's it (let's forget about the order). I don't think 1 great game means that the ps4 is held down for the first 3 years.

Actually TR is Xbox exclusive for a year, Battlefront isn't.
I agree with Colin, it wouldnt be smart to release on the same day as Fallout 4. But to be honest Rise of the Tomb Raider interests me a ton, while Fallout just isnt for me. Can't wait for this gaming season!
If they release Tomb Raider early next year it won't be competing with Uncharted because they're on two different consoles. I totally think they need to move it, I plan on getting it but won't be playing anything else for a few months after Fallout comes out.
Good on Microsoft for changing there ways
i think Sea of Thieves looks awesome. That is a game that I have always wanted, never thought Rare would be the one to bring that dream to life, but hey I love those guys
I think Rise of the Tomb Raider will sell fine
(IMO) you guys are really really overestimating Fallout 4 , not saying Fallout 4 will outsell Tomb Raider it will but Just saying it will sell fine.
Baytuh Fallout 4 will make the Witcher 3 sales look small.
Something, Something, Darkside. I know that lol
people will buy tomb raider, just because fallout will come out on the same day doesn't mean people won't buy it. They're so different that I don't think there will be much overlap
It's the Shirt xD
Mean Green's Plastic Warfare!
microsoft had the best conference in my honest opinion
I was actually really surprised by the Indie Titles. But kinda find them meh because they are not actually XBOX exclusive (which sucks because if they were, I would really buy XBOX ONE just for those). But I can't deny that Microsoft is really following what players are needed.
I'm kinda worried for SONY now.... dunno what they are hiding in their Sleeves....
백경낙 Ashen looked cool.
If Xbox One had backwards compatibility from the start I definitely would have bought one over my ps4.
Alfredo : it feels like.. just like. you know like.. when it like.... arggggg shut up !!
How can you guys miss MODS FOR FALLOUT 4 XBOXONE!
Anderson Teamrson Team They mentioned it
Hololens would be sick with a game like xcom..
#XboxWon
Looks like Sony will need to bring their A game
Why is the video bar yellow for your videos instead of red?
To be honest Microsoft did a good job and this is coming from a Sony fan. I understand that Microsoft has games coming out this year. I am actually glad that Sony's games are coming out next year.

Sonys plan. Show uncharted 4. Win e3.
Alfredo got big
I think Colin's being a little dramatic about fallout 4, I get it's a great franchise but I know quite a few people who don't enjoy VATs and who aren't interested in the game (including Tim)
I'm not saying it won't sell amazing but I'm sure tomb raider won't be a complete write off and will sell just fine
Not to mention they are two different games. One is an open world rpg and the other is an action adventure game.
Backwards compatibility was nice...really nice actually. The rest...meh? We knew about Tomb Raider, Halo. Gears announcement, never been a big fan. Still waiting for those great exclusives MS. Yes, there are exclusives, which is more than they can say in the past. But Tomb Raider is a carbon copy of Uncharted, granted a great series. Halo looked the exact same as it always has. Gears, same as well. Point being, very unoriginal content in my opinion.
A Reitz I agree
A Reitz lol thats the game industry on a whole in a nutshell...
But do you not feel the same about God of war, uncharted, little big planet, killzone, ratchet clank, infamous, and gran turismo ? Because all those games are basically sequels copy and pasted over and over the same way as the MS games you mentioned. It's like the other guy said... This is just gaming in general, it's what all the big three do.
Terrance Angle agreed
All of them are blockbusters tho and they were presented well. Of course it's a matter of taste but you have to admit it was a good conference
Can someone please add me to the Xbox Preview Program? I'll owe you one.
Really? Some people are saying the conference was bad? Haha! There definitely PlayStation fanboys. Just like Colin said you must of been watching a different conference!
Gears oFwoar.
Gamer Logic:

Sony need to reveal something amazing to even be in with a chance of having a better E3 than Microsoft
Microsoft kicked ass!!
Halo and Gears is "hardcore audience" now? Hahaha. Stop Alfredo.
A Reitz you're misinterpreting his words, what he meant was the hardcore fans dedicated to Halo and Gears
A Reitz Gears is a pretty competitive series once you get into it
Gears is not a game you can just pick up and play, you would be lucky to get more than a few kills in multiplayer
Exactly. Gears is a largely misunderstood game. Most people that buy Gears buy it for campaign and horde.
Sony leaps and bounds had a better conference.
Lol Halo 5 looks like destiny Gears 4 was hardly a demo more like a visual demo and Rise of the Tomb Raider was 6 minutes of wall climbing you wanna talk about underwhelming???Releasing exactly what everyone thought you were gonna release.All of there new IP's were just trailers opposed to Sony who may not have had Dates to throw at people but they had gameplay.

When it comes to shock value Mircrosofts biggest announcement was Mods on Fallout 4 and Backwards Compatibility
***** Yeah....well and a controller. Sony did provide the shock, unfortunately shock doesn't translate into 2015 game releases.
The controller doesn't impress me because it's just a scuff rip off and they sell ps4 scufs
***** It didn't impress me either but there is a whole lot of people that have never heard of Scuff and that likely impressed the shit out of them.
