Forums - Gaming - Cool but disappointed in both Gamescon presentations

I was really hyped for gamescon since both MSFT and Sony had been making it sound like the second coming to E3.  I figured both would be showing off multiple 1st party titles and while both had some cool announcements I expected much more.  

Fable Legends Xbox One
1m Preorders PS4
Some cool PS4 indie titles
PSV Price Cut
FIFA Exclusive stuff for Xbox One

These are some of the bigger announcements but I was expecting so much more.  Neither was bad but neither was great in my opinion either.  What did you guys think about Sony's and MSFT's gamescom?

I agree there really wasn't any big show stoppers for either company. 

Although if you are a fan of COD it's pretty big news to hear that it will have dedicated servers on Xbox One.  I know if I were to buy the next COD that would be a big factor.

Both could have been better.

Xbox fans got Fable Legends, some XBLA, big bundles, and a concrete launch list.
Con: Would have liked to see a Rare exclusive and launch date myself.

PS fans got price cuts, launch dates, and a shit ton of indie games.
Con: But no AAA reveal like I know many expected.

Pretty much this. Both had highlights but I was expecting more for the major games show in Europe.

Oh come on, be proud and admit of the fact that Sony conference was decent at best. Nothing groundbreaking new or next-gen announced. Just a bunch of indie games that hardcore crowd deoesn't care about.

I'm not saying it was disappointing, it just didn't live it to the hype. At least I anticipated a new AAA title to be announced. Tired of seeing the same games again and again.


They both were decent conferences.  Just nothing blew me away as i stated.  I expected both of them to have multiple AAA announcements.  

I could probably show you comments I made but here was my predictions.

Lionhead New Game - True
Rare New Game - Didn't Happen
Black Tusk Studios Continued E3 Trailer - Didnt happen

Media Molecule New Game - Didnt happen
Santa Monica New Game - Didnt Happen

I'm trying to understand... how can a conference be good if they didn't have a conference at all?

One more thing, who was the cameraman at the Sony conference? Why did he keep panning away to the audience when they were showing trailers?!

Sorry if I really don't undestand what you are talking about.

It wasn't the cameraman, but director and he really did break everything

Luckily, I have seen the only trailer that is really worth watching, the inFamous Second Son trailer now, so I didn't miss anything

Only Sony was worthwile, they smashed it LOL! So many games and announcements it was unreal. 15 new PS4 games and 7 Vita games!

Rly? Dont act like you didn't expect a AAA retail exclusive megaton. If you think that MS doesn't have a ton of indie games because they didn't get press time, then you are solely mistaken.
