Well that's my next console purchase sorted. Sea of thieves look good, sorry for questions, Ireland played Sweden in euros and had this on laptop but only watched last 10minutes

I disagree, it looked a hell of a lot better than it did last year.

With Platinum making it and clearly MS providing enough money to do it right it should be great.

It's probably already been said but as it was the only thing I wanted to see I'm going to have to ask....

Where the strawberry float was Crackdown?

Going from 1080p to 4k is an insane jump. You won't be able to go back.

I thought it was a poor show. To show two consoles is just daft. Games were pretty generic, save for We Happy Few which looked interesting. Sea Of Thieves has cancelled written all over it.

quite a lot of likeable games on show, looking forward to the new hardware.

showed it in the final vid. probably for Gamescon.

From a business strategy standpoint ms have shot themselves in the foot. Who wants an xbox one now and how cheeky is it to try and end the generation so early?

Delayed till next year unfortunately

So what exclusives do Microsoft have for this Christmas? Dead Rising 4 has not been announced as exclusive so I assume that will be on PS4 also. Crackdown will likely be 2017.......what am I missing?

It presumably got bumped because they've already shown it a bunch. I'm not that bothered actually.

Would have preferred to see a gameplay demo of ReCore, but I guess that will come soon enough.

It didn't really look like a complete game or anything. Just some social experiment with people pretending to be pirates.

Most concerning, and I fear the end is near for Rare.

Yeah, but the only difference will be resolution there won't be enough power for 'extra graphics' on top of that.

Gears, Forza, Recore anyway.

What are your thoughts on PS4K/Neo?

Exactly. The show starts with them revealing the XBO S and then asking gamers to buy it.
But then the reveal for the Scorpio at the end - why? They said it was to allow devs time to make games... But the message was really to the public, to say to gamers who are focused on PlayStation 'here is a reason to stay with us!'

I only skimmed through that demo, but what I saw of the boss fight was the guy standing completely still as the giant crab did nothing. Then when the player finally shot it, it went to a cutscene.

Each to their own, but that just seemed like a bit of a generic Platinum boss fight with some awkward slashy combat in which nothing actually seemed like it was doing anything, you were just waiting for the next stage of the fight to trigger.

I liked the open field combat of last year.

Completely forgot about Gears 4

I hope Recore turns out well

All the games seemed very dark and sombre-looking. Quite depressing, and not at all inspiring.
