Major Nelson Confirms Xbox will be at Gamescon

Major nelson confirms rumor's of xbox's appearance at gamescon

[Saints94]

Hope they all put a nice show of games.

[IamTheStorm81]

Hopefully they'll announce the release date then, too.

Or, preferably, even sooner.

[shoddy]

Hopefully they will answer what happen when kinect is disconnect/broken.
they should tell us more details about "power of teh cloud".

[papashango]

they're going to announce that kinect is no longer a requirement then a kinectless x1 for $399

They'll also reiterate that there will bo no 24 hour checkin, no account locked games, and a free market trade for games. Basically like 360 does it.

That's about their best bet after the e3 conundrum.

[LOGICWINS]

The more games the better. Maybe a cheaper SKU option :)

[Mr_Nuts]

It seems unlikely if you mean "new" unannounced games

They probably will just show some of the ones they had at E3. I don't think Microsoft have ever had big unannounced new games revealed at Gamescom.

[B-radical]

Who ever said "new" unannounced games? Man go elsewhere if your trying to start arguments.

[PFFT]

They did say that had a few more games to show. BUT we will see.

[No_Limit]

Sorry to disappoint you, Mr. Nuts,

there will be more "new" unannounced games to be shown at Gamescon. There will be a one hour press conference and Phil Spencer already confirmed that more exclusives would be announced.

http://www.oxm.co.uk/55486/...
"E3 show is all games but we'll still have more exclusives to announce post E3. I expect GamesCom to be a good event."

[nick309]

Sony fanboys shouldn't try to troll in every article. X1 will sell good for the exclusives.... 360 sold well so did ps3

[Manic2014]

Doubt that, they do have a couple first part game's in development and also some third party exclusives.

[Mr_Nuts]

@nick309

"Sony fanboys"

LOL...Oh yes because anyone who states something negatively about a company is a fanboy. Get real man. Honestly the only people who say that is fanboys themselfs that are ticked off someone how critisized their beloved company and theres nothing else they can say to them as an insult so they go straight to call them a fanboy themselfs

@B-radical

Really...starting arguments, how is that trying to start an argument I was just saying IF the OP meant unannounced games. I even said that

"It seems unlikely IF you mean..."

Keyword

"IF"

I find it hillarious you said that but you uploaded the article because you said below

*** I uploaded it because there was a ps4 fan saying they weren't gonna be at gamescon ***

Who's trying to start crap now

[georgeenoob]

Maybe Black Tusk's game will be revealed.

[abzdine]

that's good, i'll be at gamescom too to try all different games.
people talk about SKU at 399$ and kinect not important if they do that then they'll just be even bigger liars than i thought they were. They are losing ground like never before due to their arrogance, now no one really cares.

[Aceman18]

Thank you for the obvious ensign Nelson. I think we all knew two of the big 3 would be there. It wouldn't surprise me if all 3 were there.

[Abriael]

No, really?!

Amazin...

I wonder why we need "confirmation" about this kind of things :D

[CrossingEden]

because rumors spread like wildfire when it comes to gamers

[Maddens Raiders]

Well of course they'll be there unless they want to flush even more paychecks down the toilet. They could ill afford to miss Gamescon without looking completely outclassed and unprepared for this gen.

[B-radical]

I uploaded it because there was a ps4 fan saying they weren't gonna be at gamescon and other people got confused by his comment

[G20WLY]

What a pillar of the community you are! lol

Any other 'games' companies going to 'games'con? I'm confused; can you post an article ;P

[hakesterman]

There will be a lot more firings over Xbox before the year ends. I'd say two weeks after launch you will see at least 8 high ranking people disappear due to Xbone's poor market share.

[MASTER_RAIDEN]

meanwhile, i didnt think microsoft even had to confirm their presence at a game convention.

[abzdine]

they skipped Gamescom last year.

[FrigidDARKNESS]

Gamescom is goin to be special for the xbox one. Their will be more exclusive titles announced and more launch titles added.

A week Aifter Gamescom On Aug 27 MS tech engineers will be talking xbox one silicon and the next gen gpu that will be GCN 2.0 mark this date on your calendar.
www.hotchips.org

[B-radical]

We already know about the xbox one gpu and new direct x though

[FrigidDARKNESS]

This event call Hotchips mainly talk about next generation Radeon Gpu cards and future grafx technolog finalising the xb1 gpu.

[PositiveEmotions]

The problem is that ms says "exlcusives" when some of their games arent really "exclusives" sony does the same thing

[CrossingEden]

I was prepared to disagree but chose to agree because finally someone admitted that Sony does the same thing

[christocolus]

lol.

[NegativeCreep427]

although at an embarrassingly lower rate than Microsoft.

*comment fixed*

[PositiveEmotions]

What do you mean at a lower rate?

[nick309]

Alot of indies sony showed are coming to pc, btw ,out of all the x1 exclusives ms showed, only titanfall comes to pc, so stop trying to say sony are perfect, ill get all those pc games because ds 4 will be support on pc like ds3 was. Supergiant Games' Transistor, Switchblade Monkeys' Secret Ponchos, 17-Bit's Galak-Z, Octodad: Dadliest Catch, Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee - New 'n' tasty, Red Barrells' Outcast, Tribute Games' Mercenary Kings, Klei Entertainment's Don't Starve and finally Ragtag Studios' Ray's The Dead.

[WeAreLegion]

Only Titanfall?

Project Spark is included in that, as well. Quantum Break and Dead Rising 3 are expected on PC, too.

[CRASHBASHUK]

well how many years has it be since u was at gamescom? well that say its all what u think of eu gamers lol

[Funantic1]

Microsoft is waiting to the last min. of their release date for surprises that way it'll be harder for Sony to come up with a counter game plan. I guarantee that MS will release some good news that will persuade more people to buy a X1. But they can't release that news too early. This is a chess match.

[CRASHBASHUK]

umm they said nov so sony could do oct for ps4

[hakesterman]

MS. has no advantage over PS4, They lost all momentum at E3 and will not get it back. The only thing left that they can do to even have a remote shot at getting back in the game is to drop Kinect as an Necessity to Xbone.

[joefrost00]

From what I seem they have the advantage where it matter most

The games
That might change but for right now its a fact

[Skips]

^

Sony have more exclusives from 1st party coming... (Not to mention Sony's studios actually have good/amazing track records with games. Unlike the majority of MS's who are either no names/and or mediocre devs who've worked on nothing but sub par XBL games, or Kinect shovelware. So WHO EVEN KNOWS how many of the exclusives MS 1st party have are any good. lol)

http://www.ign.com/articles...
http://www.ign.com/articles...

Sony studios > MS studios
(It doesn't take a genius to figure out who owns the more talented studios)

20 exclusives > 15 exclusives

More "console exclusives" that are also available on PC. (Eg. Planetside 2, Warframe, Primal Carnage, Blacklight Retribution etc. etc. vs. Titanfall and Project Spark?)

And not to mention more indie exclusives and indie support in general...

So I fail to see how Microsoft has an "advantage" in the games department. lol

[hakesterman]

MS. doesn't have any more games than PS4, so that is Fiction. Just because you have more Garbage games doesn't give you an Advantage.

[5eriously]

I hope they come with a few alterations, reversals(DRM)and redesigns. (wink)

PS: and a better list of game titles!

[christocolus]

I stated earlier this will be about more gam,e reveal specifically from european studios. rare has some games in development, playground(former pgr devs), lionhead. epic, ninja theory and ruffian studios might make appearances too and ms will use tgs to show their 1st and 2nd party japanese developed games and third party partnerships. Ms might also make some huge announcements regarding the xbox one hardware at gamescon. but when is gamescon again?

[MikeyDucati1]

Go get em!!

[WitWolfy]

I just wanna bitch slap that smug look of Major Nelson's face!

[WeAreLegion]

I think Major Nelson has been dumped into an industry he doesn't understand. He's a businessman, through and through. He doesn't know the culture around him.

[TheOneEyedHound]

Show me a good exclusive I am interested in, because I didn't like anything you showed at E3.

[No_Limit]

Likewise regarding the PS4 at E3. That is why I am getting the Xbox1 on Day 1.

[TheOneEyedHound]

The thing is Sony will deliver the exclusives, because they have good first party studios with great track records.

I don't trust MS at all and last gen didn't like any Exclusive but Gears 1 and L4D(PC also but I'll count it as an Exclusive)

Sunset overdrive & QBreak are interesting but not worth getting the XB1 for.

[No_Limit]

I have no doubt Sony will have the great games coming in the future. When Naughty release something like Uncharted 4 or TLOU 2 or a new action game from Santa Monica is released, I will get a PS4. In the meantime, I like the early exclusives like Forza 5, Project Spark, and Titanfall on Xbox 1. Some people probaly like Killzone or inFamous, but I have little interest in those series on my PS3. Different strokes for different folks, I guess.

[hakesterman]

Good Luck with that Crap.

[latincooker214]

WOW NoLimit WOW now you know you a real hardcore Xbot and not a True gamer by saying there's was nothing that Sony Show at E3 that wasn't interesting Really. here i'll show you how its done im a Playstation gamer at heart but im a gamer first i really liked a few of the games that microsoft show at E3 like titan fall or DR3 hell even KI looks like alot of fun. :) NOW YOU TRY.

[SynestheticRoar]

I hope all companies are represent well. Because competition contribute to gamer's.

[latincooker214]

well said SynestheticRoar heres a bubble:)

[KingKevo]

It's gamescoM not gamescoN b-radical.

Anyway, it's cool. I won't buy an Xbox One and I don't really like MS at the moment and all that stuff, but it will still be cool to play some of their games at gamescom, I'm really looking forward to play Titanfall tbh and it will probably be show on Xbox One there.

[Animal Mutha 76]

I'm hoping to see both next gen consoles at EuroGamer Expo in London in late Sept. BF4 and Forza 5 demos please ;-)

[D-riders]

kinda have to be
