Unless there are some surprises this could be the most disappointing E3 since last gen consoles launched.

Microsoft comes out fairly strong. Their press conference didn't really have that much in the way of big reveals. But what was shown there speaks well for their plans for the Xbox brand going into the next couple of years.
The model S Xbox One is a positive development. It is a solid hardware version for expanding the user-base and boosting sales. Smaller, sleeker, more gaming-focused, and priced to move. This is what many might argue the original Xbox One should have been. This is the kind of model that could help the Xbox One gain broader acceptance.
I'm also encouraged by Microsoft's insistence that the Scorpio model is going to be an expansion on the brand, and not a successor. Attempting to push a power-focused Xbox Two would have been a huge mistake. Couching it as an "option" and insuring compatibility with the budget-priced option is wise.
Balls in your court, Sony. Let's see what you've got.

Even though Microsoft's Xbone S and Scropio thing was weird as hell, their conference in general was damn good. I'm not even going to play most of those games but they showed so damn much gameplay. Little bullshit, lots of games.
That We Happy Few trailer/intro was my personal high point. I watched a lot of the alpha stuff and I had no idea how they'd make it into a coherent thing. They've shown now how and I'm loving what I'm seeing. I really want that game, definitely.

I expect a lot worse and even though the minecraft thing was pure cringe along with the pirate game video chat thing, it still at least one of their better press conferences.
Eh, it works for film, so they probably just assumed they should do it for gaming. Typical EA board room office decisions. The same types of people who described the Xbone as the next watercooler. They're completely out of touch with mainstream gaming culture, and don't realize that celebrities don't sell games. I could see the benefit of bringing in major league athletes for their sports titles, but otherwise it's a wash.omega 616 said:
The only other reasoning I can think of is if they are trying to make games appear more mainstream in general.

who also gives Corvo the still beating heart of the Empress. Which also binds her very soul, so she cannot move on.
I'm going to level with you - Corvo's life is slightly less than glamorous.

Did anyone see foot water juice drinking on the intro to today's Jimquisition? I would link it myself, but it makes me pretty queasy just typing about it. Those people, oh gawd, those people are not from the same dimension, i'm certain.
I can see console sales slowing drastically now that the Neo and Scorpio are on the way. Who in hell is going to buy a PS4 or a One when they can wait and get the updated versions.
Microsoft especially seem vulnerable to this, as they already had the least selling console, is the Slim version of the One going to hit wanted sales figures? I might have been interested in changing my current Xbox One to a Slim but don't see the point now, I'll just wait and upgrade to the Scorpio. Save money now to spend it later.
Interesting for me is the expansion of the cross-buy system for One/Scorpio and PC. I have to admit that makes me much more likely to get the console version when I'll get it for the PC as well. I can then even give away then console version to a friend and they can play.

Watch dogs 2 is by far worst game of E3. absolutely useless and terrible. even worse than assassins creed.
