Let us sum up the results of the Microsoft conference at the E3 2014 exhibition. How did the Redmond company surprise their fans?
Microsoft's pre-show started half an hour before the main conference, and the head of the Xbox software division, Larry Hrib, also known as Major Nelson, welcomed the guests to the event on a symbolic green carpet. He told viewers that Threes is migrating from the iOS platform to the Xbox console. Soon a new season of Killer Instinct fighting game should appear, which is released according to the free-to-play scheme with the additional purchase of additional characters. He also spoke about an application for Xbox One, which will allow console users to deftly manage their collection of achievements, sort them, track progress in real time, and also search online for help in knocking out one or another achievement.
Then the official part of the event began, which lasted an hour and a half and, most surprisingly, not a word was said about television during this time. Only video games. This does honor Microsoft, as they have drawn the appropriate conclusions from their previous failures.
I want to immediately warn you, dear readers, that I will insert videos of new games from a variety of sources into this material, and it is possible that some of these videos will soon be deleted by the copyright holders. If this happens - do not be lazy to type the name of the game in the YouTube search bar and you will surely find the actual video.
Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare - game play trailer and gaming DLC primarily for owners of Xbox consoles. Graphics is positioned as a technological breakthrough, however, I did not notice a special separation from the same Battlefield 4.
Forza Horizon 2 - trailer. The game will be released on September 30 of this year, and pre-orders are already open from today. A new free highway was also announced for all owners of Forza Motorsport 5.
Evolve from the developers of the series Left 4 Dead. Exclusive Beta and DLC are available primarily to owners of Xbox consoles. Beta is scheduled for this fall.
Assassins Creed: Unity. As expected, the events of the game will unfold in the 18th century in Paris. Players will be able to network together and create their own fraternities of up to four people, and then go through the game together.
Dragon Age: Inquisition - game play, as well as information that the downloaded content will be primarily available to owners of Xbox One. As you already understood, Microsoft bought the temporary exclusivity of the DLC in almost all games.
Sunset Overdrive - action from the studio Insomniac, which previously produced exclusive projects exclusively for consoles Sony. The game is bright and distant, like lovers of unbridled fun and extermination of monsters. Previously, we were already shown its trailers and game play, so nothing special Microsoft surprised us. The game will be released on October 28.
New downloadable content for the game Dead Rising in the form of costumes of the heroes of the most famous game series Capcom.
Fantasia: Music Evolved is a project from the creators of Guitar Hero for the Xbox 360 and Xbox One. As well as Dance Central Spotlight - downloadable game for fans to dance, which can be purchased in September.
Fable Legends from Lionhead Studio. Revealed a real game play, not just a CG-trailer, as before. You can play with your three friends, and also speak out against them on behalf of the main villain. A beta version of the game is scheduled for this fall.
Designer Project Spark develops, "blooms and smells." In this game you can create your own games without having the talents of a programmer or designer. The game can be downloaded right now.
A charming and very beautiful two-dimensional game, Ori and the Blind Forest, about two strange creatures. The game will be released this fall. The first really attractive for me personally announcement for this evening.
Music played, familiar to all, without exception, fans of the Halo series, and the main character appeared on the screen - Master Chief. Halo: The Master Chief Collection will be released on November 11 of this year for the Xbox One and will include remakes of four numbered games in the series for this console. Games will be combined with a common gaming interface, the first two games will have significantly improved graphics (the third and fourth parts will be simply ported to the Xbox One), while the player can switch between the old and the new graphic component. Games will work in 1080p resolution with a frame rate of 60 fps. Halo 5 Guardians will be released only in 2015. Access to the multiplayer beta version of the game will get all those who purchase Halo: The Master Chief Collection.
Halo Nightfall is a television series that will talk about events unfolding in parallel with the actions of the game Halo 5 Guardians, and Ridley Scott will be its producer.
Playdead Studio, which developed the popular game Limbo, showed off its new project Inside about a lonely boy in a dark world where all adults resemble soulless zombies.
Cutting indie games within the program [email protected]
The new game about Lara Croft will be called Rise of the Tomb Raider. Graphically, the game is prettier, but very much like the previous part.
CD Projekt RED employees demonstrated The Witcher 3 game play.
Phantom Dust - the continuation of the cult action for the very first Xbox. So far, nothing but a CG trailer.
The Division - downloadable content, of course, first for Xbox One. The game looks very nice, but after Watchdogs, this picture is suspicious. Who knows what the game will look like after the release.
Exclusive for Xbox One, Scalebound from Platinum Games, a Japanese studio, is an action game in which a guy who looks like Dante from DMC is cracking down on various prehistoric monsters.
The new Crackdown without the number 3 in the title was demonstrated in the form of a beautiful CG-movie. It looks like it will restart a series of famous sandbox games for the Xbox One console.
At this conference, Microsoft came to an end, and the audience was once again shown cutting from the games shown. In principle, almost all the rumors and leaks were justified. Fans received a collection of Halo games for the Xbox One, a new Crackdown was introduced, an exclusive from the Japanese studio Platinum Games. They didn’t show, perhaps, the trailer for the next game of the Gears of War series, but this is a fixable matter, since there are still a lot of game shows ahead.
