Good conference, even if for the most part it was preaching to the converted. Didn't see anything there that made me want to buy an Xbone, but I'm sure it'll help sell a few more consoles to 360 owners sitting who weren't sure about a purchase.

Great show, despite no real megatons. I'm a lot more interested in picking up an Xbone within the next couple of years now.

No real surprises at the show then thanks to all the leaks. Looks like Sunset Overdrive is the only exclusive i'll be buying this year for my Xbox.

I still think I'm out but it was a very good show. No TV bullshit just games.

Well done MS.

Microsoft did right to focus on the games. After all the information they revealed I truly was expecting megatons. No mega exclusives - the only thing I'm actually really excited about is Halo Master Chief collection and to a lesser extent Fable.

Pretty much in the same boat as you Psykey.

cos of the leaks there werent any big reveals but you gotta give them credit 90mins all games no real breaks at all. It wasnt the biggest conference ever but it was a very solid one which in recent years has been hard to come by. Think overall this is showing the ethos MS have now of getting there heads down and showing results after the strawberry float ups last year

Nothing especially interesting for me, with the focus on bringing back Xbox and xbox 360 games it looks like they're trying to win back 360 owners who didn't make the move of buying an xbone.

I love the look of some games. But when I actually sit back and think, they all seem like games I've played before.

Microsoft are not innovators that's for sure.

Sunset Overdrive is the only game I really want. Still can't believe it's an Xbox Exclusive.

I don't like this trend for calling any new big game IP a 'franchise'. Stop it you naughty execs.

Good show in general. Plenty of stuff I've no interest in like HaloAssDutyHorizon etc but a lot of great new and interesting stuff, too.

B+ in total I'd say.

It's a shame about all the leaks beforehand as there were a few announcements there that would've surprised a lot of people. Very good show though, very little talk and just straight up games non stop. Loved the Crackdown trailer at the end :datass:
