Official E3 Announcement/Discussion thread

Recore actually looks really interesting. this might tip me over to buy a Xbone

Holy Shit they are adding Backwards Compatibility.

I need gameplay first, but with it being from Inafune, it has me interested.

Backwards compatibility is pretty crazy.  Never expected that.

Sony better do that shit too.

inafune and Metroid Prime Devs. the prime part has me interested. these are the same people who made that FPS Megaman that got cancelled. anyone else see the Irony there?

"Rare Replay" 30 classic Rare games for 30 Bucks.  That's not bad. August release.

Rare's new game is a pirate MMO basically. Sea of Thieves. Not a bad showing at all, surprised to see this from Rare.

I never thought I'd have interest in getting an Xbone, or caring about Microsoft's E3 conference, but they're showing some interesting stuff.

+Backwards compatibility on the Xbone with the 360 is a plus, I just hope Sony will announce that they'll finally add backwards compatibility to the PS4.
+Fallout 4 mods on PC working on the Xbone is a pretty big deal.
+ReCore looks pretty cool.
+Rare Replay has Banjo Kazooie, automatically making it awesome.

Not a big deal when you can play 360 games on the Xbone, since BK and BT HD are on the arcade there lol Conker though is great along with like Perfect Dark.

Okay, Hololens.  That got crazy cool real fast lol No way this is actually working this well in real time lol

[fighterpilot562]

Wow, Minecraft and Hololens, and Rare Replay, nice!

[kamikazekeeg]

Hololens is interesting, though I wonder if it works really as it does.  We know the Kinect was touted as being this amazing thing, but was mostly non-functional in most games lol

[abe]

I wonder how much the hololens will cost when it releases. It seems like it could be pretty expensive.

[kashell]

I...can't friggin' believe it. Backwards compatibility on the Xbone? That means Tales of Vesperia can be played on a modern system. I still have a low opinion of M$, but that is insanely surprising.

[maximo310]

The only things that interested me were the Hololens, Recore, and the PC mods for Fallout 4. I'm hoping that the Rare Replay collection has a good selection of titles in it.  Besides that, most of the exclusive game lineup didn't really interest me, although I'll probably get cuphead on pc.

The 360 backwards comptability is defenitely interesting, and I'd like to see how many titles they can get to work.

I am interested how the backwards compatible works. SInce you can't just pop in your old games and play, you have to get a code or something. Means, HD fills up faster. We will see.

That's true, I just realized that it needs hardware to play the games...I was kinda excited by it, but that confuses me as I don't have a ton of digital games for the 360.

Up next is the EA conference at 4pm Eastern.  I'm simply wanting to see Star Wars Battlefront gameplay.  Don't think there is anything else I'm looking for other than any possible surprises.

[argyle]

Why is backwards compatibility such a big deal? It sounds like it's the same pick-and-choose bc they had on the 360, which they quietly stopped adding games to when they realized it wasn't a feature that sold consoles. Y'know what's 100% bc? Keeping your old console.

Also, I noticed they didn't say the Fallout 4 mod feature was *exclusive* to the XBone. Won't be surprised if Sony announces it at their show tonight too. Heck, they're far more open with their platform than MS is, so I'll kinda be shocked if they DON'T support it.
