Microsoft @ E3 - How it happened!

This is a quick rundown of the Microsoft E3 conference as it happened, which can also be found via @somemanwithplan on twitter. As always it’s bottom to top…

--------------------------------

I thought it was third person but it’s an FPS... Looks ok, standard affair really!

Titanfall announced but I’m still giddy about Halo 5 - looked ok with a mech style combat #XboxE3

Official - "@majornelson: #XboxOne will be in 21 Countries this November for £429 UK, 499 Euro, and US $499"

I was £29 off on my price prediction for the UK

That means it’ll be around £429 which buys you a LOT of PC power...

To recap.... Blah blah blah... HALO 5

#XboxOne launches in November for $499 - Read my prediction blog post.... I was right!

I hope chief doesn’t wear that cloak - Halo meets Ezio #XboxE3

Not a release date game - dated 2014 #XboxE3 #Halo5

Awesome - Ill mark out for this shit! #XboxE3

It’s the chief under that cloak! #Halo5 #XboxE3

Halo 5 - I fraking told you! #Halo5 #XboxE3

Not Really....

Black Dusk is working on a new IP for Xbox One called 'My Eye Candy'....

Below looks cool, like a Limbo-RPG-Action thing.... I presume its Indie? #XboxE3

Visit us at Micro-Booth!

Xbox One gets exclusive Map Pack release schedules for Battlefield 4

No Dogs though - but WOW!

You can affect the environment too... Massive set piece on a carrier ship! #Battlefield4 #XboxE3

Well done to DICE's Patrick Soderlund for waiting that out.

Connection dropped me out. Battlefield 4 looks awesome!

No wait here we go! #Battlefield4 #XboxE3

DICE fucks up - no gameplay.....

Battlefield 4 first... Looks the same as expected - superb! #XboxE3

DICE out now - Mirrors Edge 2 please!

Witcher 3 looks enormously atmospheric. Close as you'll get to a decent Game of Thrones game probably....

Witcher 3 will be the first great Fantasy RPG for next gen consoles! #XboxE3

Witcher 3 gameplays looks good. May have just taken top spot from Dead Rising 3 - trilogy wrap up galore!

The Witcher 3. Okay I’m excited about this one.

You can call in artillery with SmartGlass. And it's a launch game.

Distance perception is great... Dead Rising 3 #XboxE3

Still created weapons and some OTT options! 'Massive Open World' - so we are told #XboxE3

Looks like a more realistic take on the franchise

Best looking game so far - Dead Rising 3 #XboxE3

Holy Smokes that had a lot of Zombies on screen at once!

Dead Rising 3 gameplay has been shown too. Looks sweet. Bit grey/brown though! #XboxE3

Yes! DEAD RISING 3 - ACES!

Crimson Dragon at least looks great. I'm sure we'll HEAR more from it soon...

Flying shooter thing.... Where you ride a Dragon! #XboxE3

No sound though.....

Prince and Dragon exclusive for Xbox One

No MS Points for Xbox One just real money prices - Finally! #XboxE3

I wonder how Upload Studio will affect capture device market. Twitch.tv integration seems hard to beat for a 3rd party.

Gameplay can be shared on Twitch - application installed into Xbox One #XboxE3

Most of the people on stage seem to be completely emotionless

Recording commentary with Kinect over DVR footage is pretty great.

"Xbox, upload Studio." goes to game clip you can edit and then publish and share.

Smartglass stuff now.... Nice additions to the games already shown! See achievements, scores etc....

Given the stuff people can dream up in Minecraft, should be some amazing stuff coming out of Project Spark.

It’s sparked my imagination #XboxE3

Project Spark: Smartglass allows for sculpted environments. Voice activated environment creations. You can explore your own worlds. #XboxE3

This is the kind of Smart Glass integration that's awesome.

Oh Spark is a game creator, looks easy to use and prettier than Minecraft.

Spark looks good. Voice Controlled... Habitat Creator!

D4 now an Indie (Kinect?) game made as an Episodic Adventure

Facial expressions are on point though! #XboxE3

No. wait. It’s still CG

Ok we have actually gameplay #XboxE3

Quantum Break again.... Maybe some gameplay - Please?!

As Microsoft steal bits from Sony... Please don’t give them Halo!

Minecraft coming to Xbox One. No surprise. Bigger maps. More multiplayer. Yada yada yada

Come on Phil!

Again, Forza 5 is a launch title.

Forza captures what I'd like in a driving simulator... If I played them #XboxE3

Drivatar. Giggle.

Your 'DriveAtar' leans how you drive and makes ghosts for other people to play against.... No AI (apparently) #Forza #XboxE3

Blimey the detail in Autovista mode this time us amazing though #Forza #XboxE3

Didn't hear any mention of Xbox One exclusivity... #SunsetOverdrive

Forza 5... I don’t really enjoy driving games so 'Yawn'

Nice throwback to Shaun of the Dead with the Vinyl Gun - @simonpegg will be pleased

And Assassins Creed

Hybrid of Fuse, Brink and Borderlands

Stutter....

It’s called Sunset Overdrive #XboxE3

Oh Insomniac... They did Ratchet and Clank.....

Sabre-Wolf I.Love.You #XboxE3

Killer Instinct is BACK MOTHERFUCKING BADASS MIDGET SHIT

Please show Timesplitters 4 this week.....

Great when there are lots of soldiers on-screen. Like Cameo and the field of a thousand trolls. #XboxE3

Again it looks nice, but generally combat sucks with QTEs

Yes QTE pretty much confirms no Kinect requires #xboxe3

Ryse looks wicked and doesn’t appear to need Kinect - although imp only judging by it seemly being off rails #XboxE3

Heard Ryse might not be a Kinect game anymore - anyone know???? #XboxE3

Now it’s called Ryse: Son of Rome

Yep Ryse.... Set in Rome still which is good. #XboxE3

Phil Spencer's wearing a State of Decay t-shirt. Awesome game #XboxE3

Ryse first?????

Now for Xbox One.....

Dark Souls II - perhaps the last great game of this console generation?

And now Dark Souls 2.... Sweeeet!

Side scrolling platformer - nice animations - remember still 360

Press Play producing Max something something.... Looks like Pixar

And now we’re closing the section on Xbox 360. Which is good since nobody cares.

@JulieGaffney yeah just been announced. Set in the desert of Afghanistan.....

15-on-15 player matches for World of Tanks.... IMPRESSIVE

Played World of Tanks a few years ago at Eurogamer Expo - it’s pretty good but looks tough to master

Nah... World of Tanks and it’s looking nice on 360.

Robot Wars?

Poor substitute for PlayStation Plus though!

2 free game downloads if you have Xbox Live Gold. ASSASSINS CREED 2 & HALO 3

Open world. Desert. Horseback. Vehicles. Stealth. METAL GEAR V

13 exclusives due to be shown off tonight #XboxE3

Told you Microsoft had to come out swinging!

Metal Gear. Blimey. Another Sony exclusive falls.

Hideo rules

Microsoft and Sony have gigantic booths directly across from each other. #e3 pic.twitter.com/Gj2TJ7pBDW

Still no movement..... hmm

God it's quite well set up - I hear it's in a Basketball stadium....???? #XboxE3

And we're off.....

#XboxE3 is a Go!

Damn its #XboxE3 in 30 minutes
