Redmond Corporation Microsoft in the Gamescom 2015 felt very confident, because the main competitor in the face of Sony, the exhibition decided to skip, focusing on the autumn events. The head of the Xbox division, Phil Spencer, was beaming with joy when he personally welcomed the fans waiting for the conference to start in a huge queue. What will surprise Microsoft this time? Will they show us new video games? Let's find out.
The inspirational speech of Phil Spencer was full of emotions and joy from the fact that the upcoming autumn is full of wonderful games for both Xbox One and Windows 10. And this is really true, since Sony in 2015 focused on the busy first half of the year, to its end. Xbox One will get a strong line of exclusives, but Sony PlayStation 4 will have a hard time, because it will support only multiplatform projects. Even Uncharted 4 was moved to the next year. Plus, in November there will be Windows 10 for Xbox One, which will present a completely redesigned console interface.
Phil began his story with the collection of games Rare Replay, which went on sale for the Xbox One today. I will publish a review of it very soon, as Microsoft kindly provided me with a copy for review. Given that this collection is only $ 30, and for this money the player receives just 30 games of Rare studio - we have a really attractive offer.
The turn came to demonstrate the gameplay of the already announced games. The first such game was Quantum Break, which should go on sale on April 5, 2016. Let me remind you that this is not only a game, but also a specially made for her series from the creators of Max Payne and Alan Wake. You will watch the series, then play, managing his characters, and then again watch the series. This is an unusual experience from the studio Remedy.
Now a couple of words about Crackdown 3. For the first time in games for consoles, users will be able to see cloud destructibility. Roughly speaking, you will be able to completely destroy the game city, and it will be cheated by Microsoft servers. According to the creators of the game, the console's power with the support of cloud technologies increases by 20 times. Multiplayer component will be launched for the owners of Xbox One in 2016. About the single was not said a word.
The game Scalebound from the Japanese studio Platinum Games promises to be a good action. The guy and his dragon are opposed to the army of some sinister state, as well as to various gigantic creatures. Cooperative passage for four will make the game a welcome acquisition for friendly companies. The output is planned for the end of 2016.
The DVR functionality for Xbox One is presented. Now the console will be able to record for you your favorite TV shows and programs on the schedule previously entered into it. I'm not quite sure whether this will work in Russian conditions, but Americans will certainly like this feature. It will be available completely free of charge in 2016.
Also, a compact keyboard for the Xbox One gamepad was introduced, which connects to it from the bottom. It works both with the console, and with Windows 10. Pre-order can be issued today, but you can get the gadget only in October this year.
The backward compatibility of the Xbox One with the Xbox 360 is gaining momentum. All subsequent games that will be released for the Xbox 360, will initially "backward compatible" with the Xbox One. The backward compatibility feature will be available to all owners of the new Microsoft console for free in November. Initially, gamers will be able to access more than 100 games from the previous generation console library. But I remind you that you need licensed drives to run old games. You insert the disc into the console, it reads its electronic signature, then loads the image of this game, adapted for the emulator written specifically for the Xbox One, and only then you can start playing. Without the original drive in the drive - you will not succeed. It serves as a kind of digital pass.
Fighting Killer Instinct will receive a character from the game Battletoads - a real "battle toad" Rush. The owners of the game will be able to get a new character today.
The section of indie games began. On the stage came the legendary developer Koji Igarashi, the producer of the Castlevania series and the creator of the incredibly popular Castlevania: Symphony of the Night. His new game Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night, which recently collected more than $ 5 million on Kickstarter, will be cross-platform for the Xbox One console and the Windows 10 operating system. The players of the two platforms will be able to play together without any obstacles.
On the console of Xbox One there will be a lot of projects from PC, for example Cities Skylines, Train Simulator 2015, Ark: Survival Evolved, and also a new game of Team 17 - Worms WMD This same studio is releasing its new Sheltered project on Steam today. Do not miss it, in my opinion, it will be at least curious.
The legendary developer of quests Ron Gilbert, who gave us the Secret of Monkey Island and Maniac Mansion series, introduced his new game Thimbleweed Park. This quest will surely make connoisseurs of old video games start up a meager tear of emotion, because only one kind of interface SCUMM, familiar to us on the games LucasArts, will not leave anyone indifferent.
Surprising in its atmosphere, the game We Happy Few, telling about the world in which the dystopia reigns, will first become available to the owners of Xbox One, and then already - PlayStation 4. Money Microsoft works miracles in a world of all-consuming capitalism.
The leading developer of the Minecraft game appeared on the stage, recalled that not so long ago they released the Windows 10 Edition Beta version of the game, and also that they have been working on a new project called Cobalt for a long time.
