E3 2014 Microsoft Exclusives Shown:

1. Fable Legends: Cancelled after Microsoft shutdown the parent company (Lionhead) with zero warning. Sony poached its talent after that happened.
2. Project Spark: Released but then cancelled and shut down, no longer playable.
3. Ori and the Blind Forest: Came out March 2015, 360 version quietly cancelled. Also available on Steam.
4. Inside: Came out end of June 2016, went multiplatform less than 2 months after launch
5. Below: Unreleased, confirmed coming to Windows as well
6. Phantom Dust: Cancelled after Microsoft scope creeped the company into bankruptcy. Microsoft claims it's still happening.
7. Crackdown: Unreleased
8. Scalebound: Cancelled
9. Halo 5: Came out October 2015, Forge mode with multiplayer available as a Windows 10 UWP
10. Quantum Break: Came out April 2016, available as a Windows 10 UWP and on Steam

gently caress I didn't realize how many of these exclusive had been cancelled. Fable 1 is one of my favorite games ever, so seeing Fable giving the Old Yeller treatment sucks. I was also vaguely looking forward to Scalebound and Phantom Dust.

I expect E3 will probably be another "Here is Forza, Halo, and Gears. What more do they want?" presentation from them. One of the things that is killing Microsoft is the lack of compelling exclusives.

yeah they really are. anything exclusive that could have a shot at being released this fall would have already been announced 2 years ago, and anything exclusive that they announce that will be released in 2 years will just get cancelled like every other exclusive they announced.

have fun with forza/gears/halo

MS needs to buy Bungie again so Halo can be good again.

Destiny has solid mechanics, but who wants to grind an FPS?

Fun fact: Microsoft apparently had an opportunity to claim Destiny as an Xbox exclusive due to their severance arrangement with Bungie but declined.

Follow the main quest if you are sick of side activities, its actually pretty good about pacing and you can probably bang it out in 10 hours if you are well leveled already.

I wouldnt say it meanders at all once you are in meridian and following the main mission stuff

I just got to Meridian and i think im going to follow your advice. I dont care about anything in this game but the contrast between past and present is nice. And i bought a PS4 to play this thing. Im having more fun playing Let It Die.

I wanna play Untill Dawn is good?

on topic: The xbox360 was awesome and Dragon Age Origins was the last good game that Bioware ever made.

6 titles they'll cancel, a game which will come out in 2018 for Xbox and PC, two which will come out in 2019 for Xbox and PC, and one which might come out in 2020 for Xbox and PC if they're still around.

Yes although much like Telltale games it can break the illusion of your choices mattering much if you replay it, plus there's a few rough patches; the gimmick is that it's a horror movie where you jump around and take control of the player characters, and it is possible for all to die, none to die, or anything in between, but some of the early characters who have a chance to die are somewhat written out regardless of if they die or not.

I found it to be the single most terrible bait-and-switch on a "features promised vs. features delivered" level, that I've never trusted a thing Molyneux or Lionhead has said since.

It hasn't aged well at all, but at the time I had a blast playing it with my friends. KOTOR, DOA3, and Fable 1/2 were some of the best times I ever had on Xbox.

I guess in the end Scorpio is a nice thing but all it is is gonna be is very nice looking Forza/gears/halo games and everything else runs a bit better.

Imo xbox one s is an okay deal if you get it for $200 and you wanted a 4k disc player. At that point you can buy cheap copies of rare replay, Forza games, halo and gears, and maybe Quantum break depending on which one is your thing. Am I missing anything else?

Scorpio is gonna be like $500+ and won't actually have true exclusives. So why should anyone pay 300 bucks more? (besides the hardcore more money than sense crowd/fanboys)

I have a Switch and I'll probably get a PS4 today since it's not expensive and got a list of games I want to play on it and also I just can't Zelda no more. If the Scorpio turns out to be cheap and gets a compelling exclusive library I'll probably end up buying it too
