Current Events > ~Microsoft E3 Presentation General~ 2

(+) Yeah! (+)

Just watched Microsoft @ E3:

I'm most excited for:

Tales of Vesperia
Kingdom Hearts 3
Cyperpunk 2077
Forza Horizon

(But for the first three, I'm eager to hear news about their PS4 release!)
---

Remember when Microsoft was the joke of E3?
---

is Cyberpunk 2077 based on something?

Damn, this is MS's best conference in a while

Best since 2014 when they announced a million games then cancelled 99% of them

Yes, the RPG Cyberpunk 2020
---

Halo Infinite, Gears 5 and Gears Tactics look great.

I'm surprised none of them are releasing this year though.
---

Cyberpunk looks great but I certainly hope that whitebread boring-ass dude isn't the protag. He's certainly no Geralt...

Also we better get a Ciri cameo.

Great fucking conference

Wish Halo 6 had some actual gameplay though, but happy to see they're back to the old art style.

I missed it. How naked is Cortana?

Cyberpunk would be my guess, for some reason.

Halo Infinite confuses me.

Apparently it's a Master Chief story but his armor is anachronistic for it to take place at any point in time that isn't covered by Halo 2 or 3. That armor was put on in the opening scene of 2 and stays that way until the end of 3.

Great conference. I don't see Sony topping it tbh but I see Nintendo topping it easily if they show Smash (confirmed), Metroid (pretty much confirmed), maybe F Zero and Animal Crossing.

Maybe he needs to use old armor because the AI rebellion has disrupted everything.

Smash better not be a port.

I'm sure it won't be. If it was a port they would have said it from the get go, and the liner notes for it on their site states it's a whole new smash game.

That's unlikely and it would suck because the new armor is so much cooler

F Zero is dead you guys. They decided to just make it Mario Kart DLC. I don't see a clearer indicator than that.

Have some hope, man.

I didn't watch the conference but I'm interested in some of the multiplatform games. None of the Xbox franchises entertain me anymore so nothing to make me take the plunge for a One.

Apparently there was a long message from CDPR in the background text:

Oh thank god it's customizable characters.

That's cool. Createable characters confirmed at least.

Gears 5, Tactics, and Cyberpunk 2077 are enough on their own. The other cool stuff just sealed it as the best MS conference I can recall.
---

I just realized they didn't announce the Elite controller revision that was leaked.

Wonder when that's coming

Aw fuck, that's probably when they'd announce a One X price drop.

I'm not out of the woods yet.

Still keeping that receipt handy.

Now sony only has FFVII remake

Sony has already lost.

lol out of the 50 announcements, only 15 are exclusive. and i guarantee most of those "exclusives" will also be on PC

I mean, yes. Why wouldn't Microsoft put them on something else they own?

Never got this complaint tbh.

Stupid people grasp at any straw they can.
---

Microsoft killed it
---

Good conference. I didn't really care about any of those games besides Cuphead but I hope the people that did got something out of this.
---

That was actually a very good conference. Well done MS
---

might as well finish off this topic
---

Honestly pretty excited for Samurai Souls

jump force looks awesome

It's just an art style change.

He still wears that armor when he goes into cryosleep at the end of 3, but when he wakes up in 4 it's completely different because 343 wanted to throw their own art style at the series, and it was almost universally negatively received.

Here's an excerpt from the post they made after the trailer:

Its hard to believe that 343 Industries was formed just over a decade ago. Over the years, the team has learned a lot from creating Halo 4 and Halo 5 and from you, our community. I hope you can see nods to some of that in our demo, such as the approach to some visual elements. Halo Infinite will feature Sparths (Art Director, Nicolas Bouvier) new art style that draws significant inspiration from the most iconic and historic parts of the Halo franchise and your feedback, all while modernizing and taking advantage of the full power of the Xbox One family. The new Master Chief helmet directly showcases our new art style.

The team also heard feedback loud and clear on the amount of time spent playing as the Master Chief in Halo 5. In Halo Infinite, the game will focus on the Master Chief and continue his saga after the events of Halo 5.

It was changed in cryo sleep by nanobots (canon explanation).

And no, it was not universally negatively received. At first, only a little criticism, but afterward everyone seems to really like it.
