Microsoft E3 2014 topic
Arseen:
Microsoft seems to really want to soften their images.

Also Getting rid of Kinect was shown quietly at bacground at time 0:02:14:
Before that the set-up shown was Console, controller and Kinect camera, but at this point the image is zoomed in such way that the Kinect camera is cropped off, and so it stays the rest of the show.
Never cared about Halo games, but the Halo Master Chief Edition looks nice.
Then there was Assasin's Creed Unity.
Let's see how they implement the multiplayer (either co-op or versus).
I see 4 possibilities:
1: 4 player only possible at certain events.
2: 4 players play thru the game always staying close together.
3: 4 players staying with in the map area but can be quite far away from each other.
4: 4 players can be where ever they want in the world and come together when and if they want either to play together or against each other.
Hoping for the last with possibility to do this on 4 consoles in local LAN (that is without Live).
Will it be so that the 4 players stay

They announced Phantom Dust and thats all that really matters to me. In an interview with Phil Spencer it was even acknowledged that its not going to be a free to play game thus alleviating my fears. Once they start showing gameplay I'll probably get an xbox.

Outside of the Scalebound announcement and Sunset Overdrive gameplay, nothing really interested me for Xbox. Too many timed exclusive games and not enough real exclusives that would get me to buy a Xbone. Master Chief Collection is an awesome deal but I would much rather have them on PC, in fact if Microsoft wants any of my business, they need to look at publishing some of their exclusives on PC to capture an audience that is not willing to buy an Xbone. Highly unlikely, but Dead Rising 3 and Project Spark are going to be available on PC soon so hopefully they follow suit with other exclusives.

What I don't get from Microsoft is all these new commercials where they are showing off the power of the kinect and then at the end they advertise the $399 bundle without the kinect. Just doesn't make sense.....

I didn't watch too much of the Microsoft E3, but from what I gathered I'm still not moved enough to get an Xbox One. Sunset Overdrive looked fun, Halo 2 Anniversary looked well-done, but when I saw the trailer for the Halo 5 multiplayer beta my heart just kind of sank. The art direction in that series is going downhill fast.
