2014-06-09
so we all knew what Microsoft had to do at their press conference here at e3 but did they deliver well sort of Phil Spencer came out here and he said that the entire press conference is going to be devoted to games and while it was wasn't necessarily exclusive xbox one gaming so let's get to the exclusives first sunset overdrive has to be the biggest exclusive for xbox one coming out this year and we finally got that exposition for the game that we've been needing so bad we have an idea of where it's going to take place what the characters are about what the backstory is a little bit and we have five of what the games actually going to be like and I think that was really important for Microsoft to convey sunset overdrive has a very comedic sort of storyline and I think that's a refreshing tape the game kind of makes fun of itself so I'm really looking forward to that but when it comes to other exclusives that xbox announced here at their press conference there's a little light we saw that a new track is coming to ports of 5 motorsport and we also heard the announcement of Forza horizon 2 then we got a gameplay demo of fable legends later this year also the entire halo franchise is getting an HD remake for Xbox one and you can also mix and match missions throughout all four games and your own sort of mixtape campaign it's pretty cool so what else in terms of exclusive for Xbox one dead rising 3 is getting DLC first to the game Harmonix came and said that they're going to be giving us a new dance central spotlight game that will be download only for Xbox one and Kinect that was really the only mention of Kinect during the whole show finally in terms of exclusives you found out that Platinum Games is working on a game called scalebound and crackdown is coming back to Xbox and a reboot specifically for Xbox one Microsoft had a lot of catching up to do on the independent gaming front and they sort of made a push for it with ID at Xbox which is their independent publishing platform and we saw sort of a highlight reel of games we can expect to see on that platform this year and beyond so that really does it for exclusive to Xbox one both the messaging to me is that Microsoft is going to be banking on timed DLC that's going to hit xbox one first we saw that with call of duty advanced warfare we saw it with involved we're also seeing it with tom clancy's the division from ubisoft we'll have to see how that works out plus there's a few exclusive xbox one titles that gamers can finally start getting inside of that that's it here from their press conference at e3 2014 I'm Jeff Bakalar foreseen it thanks for watching
