E3 2013- Microsoft Press Conference

Heyy everybody! I know it's been a long time since I've posted anything so now I want to post some things we saw at E3 starting with Microsoft's Press Conference.
Microsoft opened up E3 showing Metal Gear Solid V Phantom Pain which looked like a better modern day Red Dead redemption. MGS V will have a new Open-World feature added to it where you can use various transportation methods like tanks or horses. In the show they also showed some stealth features like obviously lean, crouch, and lean by the side of a horse. I think it looked pretty hot, but if you want to check it out yourself watch the video below

After MGS Microsoft showed the new Xbox 360 which basically is thought to have a Xbox One design to it. This new Xbox will be"Smaller, Sleeker, and Quiet as ever" said Yusuf Mahdi, The new Xbox Live Gold Membership, which will transfer to Xbox one if you'll get one, will allow you to receive 2 free game downloads, like Assassin's Creed II and Halo 3, starting July 1st until the release of Xbox One. Check it out

Now, returning to games World of Tanks will be released for Xbox 360 too. The presentation looked like it could be a tablet game but it could also be an Arcade game but I'm not really intrested in this game. Check it Out
When Microsoft finally started the Xbox One part of the conference they first showed the new game Ryse, with some gods and some soldiers with shiny Roman armor Ryse showed how a game can evolve trough smashing buttons during quick time events. This game really amazed me. Check it Out
Next up Microsoft called in Ted Price to tell us about Sunset Overdrive which is an Open-world shooter game powered by the cloud. This game looked amazing but I think they'll not be able to achieve what they showed in the presentation, well you never know.
 Now, with some more familiar games Phil Harrison entered Microsoft's stage showing off Minecraft for Xbox One with better multiplayer, bigger maps and better graphics.

After Minecraft Sam Lake took it away showing Quantum Break the game, whose future is based on your choices and time... is not a problem. Check it Out
Next up Microsoft showed a game that allows you to create your own experience and share it on the cloud through smart-glass, a game that puts you on the action from square 1. Check it out
Now Microsoft shows up with some new Xbox Live features and its new smart-glass device which will allow you to acces in game features, like Achievements, Addons Shop and friend's status on a game directly on your Smart-glass device. Something I love is sharing my gameplays or sharing anything with whomever i want, you'll be able to do this on Xbox One trough in game DVR which will be viewable from Smart-Glass, But that's not it, Microsoft is happy to announce a relationship with Twitch which will allow you to broadcast live in game experiences. Another new feature of Xbox Live is that your friends list will not be limited. Microsoft said that they'll also be moving on with Microsoft Points to real life currency.

I personally love Open-World Zombie games, but this one has something special. Microsoft showed a game I was waiting for, for a long time, Dead Rising 3. in the presentation we saw how you can craft weapons and how to use your smart-glass device to call in the chivalry. Check it Out


With a starting fail Dice finally showed some gameplay footage of Battlefield 4 running at 60 frames per seconds. Check it Out
Aaand... Master Chief is back once again. with his awesome scattered armor. Take a look
And finally to close its conference Microsoft showed its brand new title Titanfall.

Microsoft only talked about Xbox One  at its conference but they also showed some cool games and the new Xbox 360. 
Microsoft announced that the Xbox One will be released in November 2013 for $499.99 in the US, £429.99 in the UK, 499.99 Euros in Europe, and $599.99 in Australia.

Conference Rating: 8
