Did they say anuthing about the achievements on original Xbox games? When will we be able to buy the games digitally?

Nothing yet on launch or achievements. But on the post show they talked about how you can system link games so you can play co op between OG Xbox vs Xbox 360 and Xbox One.

I'd gladly pay $60 for the original Ninja Gaiden Black and replay it with achievements. 

Unfortunately,  I think there is a less than 1% chance that we'll see achievements on the BC games.

I mean I didn't like the conference that much, but looking back it's been like this for years. I mean if you want variety of exclusive and first party, I hate to break it to you, but Xbox isn't the way to go. I'm hyped for a multiplat beast and exclusives on PS.

I'm glad everyone else is so concerned about Xbox though

I didn't even find the other years so much stronger for Sony. Sure, they get a lot of Japanese exclusives but it's not as if they do much for it and I'm also not interested in most of these Japanese games. Not to forget that Sony also showed games the last years which still take or took like 5 years until they really release...(Deep Down, FF7 remake and so on) 

So for me, it was always pretty even. But I "fear" this year is different. I like Sea of Thieves and I love Forza but yeah...

For me it is pretty simple.

What games are exclusive this summer: June/July/August

Sony: Wipeout Omega Collection/Dark Rose Valkyrie/God wars future past/Danganropa/Crash N.sane collection/Accel world:sword art online/FFXII zodiac edition/White Day/Zero Escape/Warriors all stars/Yakuza Kiwami/Everybody's golf/Senran Kagura/Lawbreakers.

Summary: That's a nice line up for the summer very hard to really like nothing at all and possible more games coming.

Switch:  Arms/Splatoon2/Rabbids Kingdom 

Summary: Not a lot but the last two could be hits and loved..Well for a new console not that bad and more could come..

Xbox one: Fable Fortune....

Summary:  Do I have to say more?

 

Really I could understand if you are like 'but the switch is missing out on games that Xbox and PS have' but in this three months we see releases of games like One piece Red/DQXI(sure Japan only if you don't want to count it) that are on PS4/switch and Xbox is missing out that's also a thing now...






Thank God that Monster Hunter World isn't exclusive that is the last thing MS needs right now, it looks great and reminds me a little of Scalebound(RIP). This and Black Desert will take up a lot of my time in the future.

It's good that it is multiplatform but I don't think it would make much difference if it was exclusive since it mostly sells in Japan.

I can't believe more people on here aren't talking about Anthem. If Sony had closed with that, it would be all anybody was talking about. Game looks fucking phenomenal.

I am super excited about it.

But I am also pretty bitter. Its immediately clear where all of Bioware's development capabilities went. 

Mass Effect Andromeda had a really excellent core, and more and more it sounds like it was held back from being a true blockbuster purely by the unwillingness of EA to allocate significant project management and animation resources.

Monster Hunter World is Capcom trying to push the franchise more in the West though, the game releasing on Xbox and not being exclusive to PS4 is a good thing for MS.



Lol is all I gots to say.



The new S logo was for the Xbox One S

"So it sounds like Phil was pushing to sort of reset and rebuild the first party developers and redirect how things go, and this is the dip that we're going to experience as they develop new IPs and new teams, and they don't want to announce things too early.

This actually does make me feel a lot better about the lack of AAA first party games, especially with him saying how careful he's being about announcing stuff.

Actually, as I keep watching, this makes me more excited. It sounds like under Phil, we're going to start hearing about things really close to their release rather than a long ways away.

No more "Here's Cuphead/Scalebound, it'll be out eventually maybe I guess 3 years down the line." Instead, it's going to be like it was this year: "Here's Crackdown 3. It's coming out this year." That makes me really excited for where Xbox is heading. We just have to get through this slower year, and then I think things will pick up in a really good way."

 

The Xbox One X has power to spare even when running Forza at 4K, 60FPS

Forza ain't the only one with horsepower

This week marks the one-year anniversary since the Xbox Scorpio (now Xbox One X) was revealed at E3 2016. In the past year, Microsoft has regularly teased how powerful this machine would be, but mostly in terms like "six teraflops" and "60Hz rendering." Everyone knows those specs are impressive, but it's tough to quantify how that translates to running games. We're basically just told that the games run well.

In a behind closed doors presentation with Microsoft, we were given a statistic that seems particularly impressive. Forza Motorsport 7 content director John Wendl told us that there's a 30 percent surplus on the GPU, even when running the game at 4K resolution and 60 frames per second. That's surprisingly not-close to the Xbox One X's limits.

The coming months will probably be full of claims like this. Like with PS4 Pro's enhancements, everyone will want to explain how and why their games run better on the new hardware. But, as we collectively find out more and more about Xbox One X, this is another interesting anecdote that sheds just a little more light on what Microsoft's new console is capable of.

Couple random thoughts from today.
So halo wars 2 is getting all this special treatment 4K update/ bunch of dlc while mcc and 5 get the shaft. Halo 5 didn't get any paid dlc or campaign dlc at all. Nice to see the one awesome hw2 dlc isn't in my season pass btw. Is it just easier and cheaper to make dlc for that game? I am excited to get some halo stuff this year though. And so happy to see the flood return. I hope the cortona plot is over quickly in halo 6 and the majority of the game focuses on atriox and flood.

I also wouldn't be opposed to both halo and gears going mp only (especially gears) and letting the campaign team make new singleplayer ip's.

So I'm worried about Microsoft's commitment to Xbox does seam like they want to invest in games. There biggest news from e3 was indies and getting anthem marketing. To go along with that they priced XOX at 500 which tells me they are giving up. And at e3 they didn't mention anything about forward compatibility. In fact in a interview with jez the head marketing guy with Xbox completely avoided talking about forwards compatibility when asked a question. Anyway I don't want to buy it if it's only a mid gen upgrade. I don't see the point cause it won't sell enough for devs to put in real effort. Does anyone know if it's still going to be forwards compatibile because that's the only way I buy it.

 

   If they want out of the console buisness than get out become a publisher only and let Sony release a Xbox controller for PlayStation. 

 

   Oh ya last thought. No splintercell at Ubisofts confrence made me very sad.



Halo MCC will sell 5+ million copies(including digital)

halo 5 will sell 10 million copies(including digital)

x1 will pass ps4 in USA, and UK.
