Gamescom

Didn't see any thread for this in general. Should be a lot of good stuff shown at announced at Gamescom going by previous years. Pity Sony aren't involved but I imagine they'll still have the odd thing to show on the show floor.


I'm not entirely sure but I believe the Xbox conference is at 3.

Bungie/Destiny will be there apparently *tumbleweed for effect*

Cologne is such a lovely city, well worth a visit. That cathedral is amazing.

Spot on mister It's on at 3 PM.

And on another note, I wonder will Ubisoft mention Watch_Dogs 2.

I very much doubt Sony will be showing anything off. As they showed at E3 they have nothing coming this year and well into the next. If there is any presence I'd say it will only be Media Molecule showing off their tech.

Re: Sony, they might be showing off the games below.

Sony Computer Entertainment

Horizon: Zero Dawn (PS4)
Project Morpheus (PS4)
Uncharted 4: A Thief's End (PS4)
Uncharted: Nathan Drake Collection (PS4)
Until Dawn (PS4)
Tearaway Unfolded (PS4)

Not sure how accurate this list is, but if its accurate, I just spoiled Gamescom for myself, no surprises for me

should be interesting this year, XCOM2 gameplay promised, more on Fallout4 and the new wow expansion (possibly the last one evar) to be revealed

Watching the Xbox conference and Quantum Break looks class. Didn't realise that Aiden Gillen was in it, looks like he could be the main antagonist.

And that guy from the following, looking like he's playing the same part he played in the following too. Still not convinced this will be anything more than an average game that there will be more talk about before it comes out than after.

Scalebounds Protagonist might be a contender for most annoying playable character ever

super_furry

Scalebound looks beautiful. Just hope its Bayonetta Platinum and not Legend of Korra Platinum.

2 years later and they're still talking about TV

Can't stand him. Would seriously put me off purchasing if he features lots and I have to listen to whiney voice.

From now on all Games with Gold 360 games will also be backwards compatible on Xbox One. Nice little bonus.

Interested in more Fallout 4 info and xcom2.


Also interested in developments in Star Citizen

Dark Souls 3 in the MS presser ??? :eek:

Don't think it means anything as Sony aren't at Gamescom. Looks incredible mind you.

Homefront is still a thing?

Aye I know , was just unexpected and gameplay too

WHo is the female voice in Homefront ????? Sounds really familiar.

Korra would have been made by a small team on a tiny budget. Scalebound looks to be a tad different so I wouldn't worry too much about that

Nero's Devil Bringer seems to have gotten a bit scalier since his last console outing to be honest.

super_furry

Jesus. I love me some Halo but these two gimps are just painful. Supose that's the way Microsoft see things going, trying to push the esports angle.

Zero-Cool

Looking forward to Mafia 3, NBA 2K16, Dark Souls 3, Mirror's Edge, Need 4 Speed and Deus Ex. Still hoping UFC 2 will be announced at it but looking doubtful.

super_furry

December 1 for Just Cause 3 with Just Cause 2 included for free.

Not sure what to make of Tomb Raider now

Wow, Xbox are killing it.

Wow Halo Wars 2 by Creative Assembly, did not expect that. Really nice little bonus at the end.

There is no Sony conference, they're not having one this year. Think they announced all they had at E3.

The amount of buzzwords...

That was a whole load of nothing. Bunch of timed exclusives and PC games. Also, 1 gorillion dollars for competitive FPS... played on gamepad.

Microsoft...

You must have missed Quantum Break, Scalebound, Crackdown and Ark coming to game preview as well as the backward compatability announcement. Maybe you should watch it again

They will have some games on the show floor but no conferences as they have nothing to show.

Holy ****, that's pretty damning.

I didn't think things were that bad with Sony regarding lack of first party titles.

gizmo

To be fair, Sony showed most of their big titles at E3 whereas MS pushed most of their bigger announcements back to this. Not really surprising the latter was going to have the stronger showing at this event.

Let's not start this sort of nonsense again. Sony aren't having a conference, end of. Let's just discuss what's being shown, yeah?

Halo wars 2 cant wait for that.

Scalebond game play looks fantastic cant wait to play that next year.

City Skylines coming to the xbox one as well that was a crazy. There starting to take the risks of bring proper city management games to the xbox one. As crazy as it sounds I would love for EA to bring out Sim City 4 for the xbox one LoL.

Also over a 100 games so far from the 360 are going to be able to be played on the xbox one cant wait.

I used to be a major Sony fan boy back with the PS3 but every 1st party game from the PS4 has been a huge disappointment for me I haven't liked any of them. When I class the order 1886 as there best 1st party game that says a lot. There is also noting that I wont coming out from the console as well other then Uncarted remastered and number 4. While the xbox one has endless amounts of games coming for it.

Ms know they missed up at the start of the xbox one life and now there really recovering it. They have also made a fantastic new OS in windows 10 witch I am loving on my Surface Pro.

Generic Dreadhead

I was underwhelmed, but starting to see the X-Box One as better value for money now that the backwards compatibility is growing and the exclusives are starting to come thick and fast

Raymond Pest

I wonder how Cities: Skylines will work with a controller it could be tricky to play. If Ark is optimised well enough it will be fantastic, at least the game preview has a trial so its possible to check how it plays before buying it

Robert ninja

Any update on how backwards compatibility performs? Last time I saw the benchmarks the XBO was running the games worse than the 360 did. Damn I miss my B/C fat PS3.

There's no nonsense there, just suprised. It's always Microsoft up first and then Sony. I was looking forward to seeing what both had to offer.

Anyways, since we can't talk about who isn't there it's been a fantastic show for Xbox. Quantum break looks incredible. I am looking forward to seeing the tv show that will be on the xbox one. The halo one was desperate but it looks like there a decent actors in this one.

So much coming in Nov/Dec. crackdown multiplayer looks like it will be crazy fun.

Free backward compatibility is just fantastic.

Is it a tv show that you watch outside of the game - i.e. a completely seperate experience, or is integrated like FMV cutscenes?

For backwards compatability at the moment you only need to put the disc in once and you download the game. Pop down to xtra vision or find a friend with a massive disc collection and your set. GWG will be nice for the collection

The disc needs to be inserted every time you want to play the game

no, you still need to have the disc to launch the game. digital games are the same as current gen.

Oh, I am not sure. I thought It was maybe a few episodes that are tied to the game in some way.

So going by that, it is pretty damning for Microsoft not having a conference at Paris Games week, when Sony are having one there?

It's integrated as part of the game and is supposedly shaped by your in game choices.

Speaking during a demo of the game at Gamescom, Lake said Quantum Break will feature "junctions in time," which are moments where players make choices critical to the game's storyline. For example, there are moments where players will play as the bad guy and, through this, they will see his plans and get a look at different potential futures.

"You as a player get to explore those glimpses, and you get to make the decision as to which future will come to pass," Lake said. "You make that choice, and that is the reality that will happen. Right after that, we go into an episode of the live-action TV show, and the consequences of that come into play in your version of the show. You see that future happening. From that point onwards, the consequences carry on both on the show side and on the game side for the rest of the game."
