Microsoft Gamesom 2017 Conference starts on Sunday August 20th 3 PM Eastern Time, Noon Pacific Time, 20:00 BST, 21:00 CEST.

I'll be on just to see if anything new comes out

 

[Nesh]

I am curious if they will show anything that will rectify their situation. Their facebook fanpage gets obliterated with complaints about no games.

 

[iroboto]

if they do announce something, I doubt something major. But I think a new IP would be considered welcomed.

 

[BRiT]

No, they won't show a single game at all during their GamesCom show.

 

[Nesh]

People are asking for proper AAA exclusive content to give them an incentive

They're asking for MS to MoneyHat?

 

[Nesh]

They're asking for MS to MoneyHat?

More like gameyhat

 

[RancidLunchmeat]

Outside of some previously unannounced new IP that's awesome and will be available upon launch, the only thing I can think of that would move the needle for XBX is if they announced that all the W10 OEM VR headsets will work with the XBX. Of course, there's a content problem... but at least you could watch YouTube videos!

 

[Silent_Buddha]

Looks like World Premiere is referring to the trailers not the games.

Hmmmm, PUBG partnering with MS to have them provide funds and publishing.

Wonder what that will mean for a potential PS4 version?

Regards,
SB

 

[BRiT]

PSA: I'm editing my first topic post to include details / timeline of what's happening instead of posting insane number of posts that will be cleaned up afterwards.

 

[Silent_Buddha]

OK, Mixer just pooped itself for me.

Oooh. Cross network play between Steam and Windows Store. At least for Rise of Nations. Hopefully that will come to more games.

That would be huge if it came to more games.

Semi-Truck racing in Forza 7.

Regards,
SB

 

[Arnold Beckenbauer]

Quantum Break to be enhanced for Xbox One X, this is great! https://majornelson.com/blog/xbox-one-x-enhanced/

 

[Scott_Arm]

Quantum Break to be enhanced for Xbox One X, this is great! https://majornelson.com/blog/xbox-one-x-enhanced/

This is one of the games I wanted enhanced.

 

[Silent_Buddha]

State of Decay 2 is definitely a day one purchase for me. And then I'll just have to cross my fingers that it isn't as buggy as State of Decay was at launch.

Some good indie games in that clip.

Regards,
Sb

 

[BRiT]

So many games that look to be decent quality that I couldn't even begin to list them out.

 

[Silent_Buddha]

Definitely MS still intending the base XBO to be the predominant SKU with the release of a Minecraft themed XBO-S.

For anyone that was thinking MS wanted people to transition to the XBO-X so they could drop the base XBO.

OK, that's cute. The Project Scorpio edition box is designed like the original Xbox.

Regards,
SB

 

[MrFox]

Waited 90 minutes of repeated teasing of a big surprise megabomb at the end...

Did I miss it or was it really the unboxing video?

 

[Silent_Buddha]

OK, so no new game reveals except for some indie games that weren't shown before.

Regards,
SB

 

[BRiT]

@MrFox it was the spoiled info of the "Project Scorpio" edition console.

Also, it was never touted as a mega-bomb, just a surprise.
