Great GREAT show by MS! They absolutely killed it! Huge emphasis on exclusives, which they needed to do! Plus the megaton of 360 backwards compatibily was enormous. Their conference was damn near perfect!

My only negative really is that I'm still not 100% sold on Hololens. I still feel like it's a gimmick. Plus, I'm not a fan of Minecraft so that demo did absolutely nothing for me! If they had demoed the holo game from The Millineum Falcon, THEN I would have been more interested! LOL

I'm not sure I'd call it perfect. The Gears announcement was a pretty big letdown IMHO; instead of a collection, we're getting the first one remastered and I'm guessing they'll charge $60 for it, meaning they'll do the same thing for the next 2 games.

And time will tell if it's full compatibility. I'm guessing it will be like the 360 BC where most of the games were playable but not all.

Not that I disagree with you but where have you been? This has been known for quite some time now. It wasn't exactly a shock to everyone. Sony is doing the exact same thing with God of War 3 HD Remastered

So the thought of turning your living room into into your computer's desktop/the holo deck from Star Trek doesn't give you a techno boner??!

I'm very skeptical of that proof of concept demo. I still remember the original Kinect demo with that "Milo" character that turned out to be a completely scripted concept and we never got it. I fear this is the same idea.

What exactly does it already being known have to do with how you grade the presentation? So because you knew something somewhat lame beforehand they get a pass? Halo 5 has been known forever too but I was more impressed by that presentation.

And I'm not giving Sony a pass either, I think a remastered version of 1 PS3 game is silly if they end up charging full price. There's no reason not to do a God of War collection.

According to Game Informer, apparently the XOne will be fully BC if all publishers give the ok. Otherwise there will be no technical hurdles like the 360 had playing Xbox games.

I just rewatched the Milo demo on youtube; yeah, if that was scripted then your concern is definitely valid.

We can cross our fingers I guess and hope that even blind squirrels find a nut from time to time.

MS has never been synonymous with "innovation" - that's for sure.

Raise your hand with me if you're sick of the word "experience" being used in video game conferences.

Winner of the most boring conference except for the ending when they finally show Star Wars.....EA!

God, how lame can you get? This EA conference sucks so much. It started strong with Mass Effect Andromeda and then it just nosedived after that.

EA is out doing themselves now. They've managed to slow things down even more with a great, insightful interview with Pele.

Show us more money sucking mobile games....:snoring:

via Silliconera, the FF7 remake rumor has reared its ugly head again. We'll see if SE delivers tomorrow
