E3 2015

[Iceman]

Damn couldn't get on till now. Anything happened yet?

 

[Dark_Lord]

They showed a montage using the Man of Steel theme, a Halo 5 trailer and now live gameplay for it.

 

[Tron Bonne]

Man, after that Doom demo yesterday, that demo was kind of dull.

 

[Iceman]

Thanks, rewinding for the gameplay.

 

[Iceman]

Damn my feed (from xbox.com) keeps freezing.

 

[Soapy]

I wish I liked Halo more.

 

[Tron Bonne]

The makers of Metroid Prime? What?

 

[Iceman]

Gameplay looks great to me!

 

[Decepticonus]

They showed a montage using the Man of Steel theme, a Halo 5 trailer and now live gameplay for it.

Yeah that was odd. I figured they'd prefer some kinda XTREME 90's music.

 

[Iceman]

I love that the other members of the squad are proper characters now rather than faceless Spartans.

 

[Soapy]

That looked neat.

 

[Tron Bonne]

Well that was unexpected. Not sure what that whole maker of Metroid Prime thing is about, though, Retro is owned and operated by Nintendo. Guess it was a studio who was formed by former members?

 

[Soapy]

Okay, what's on his shirt? What's the reveal going to be?

 

[Havok83]

SHOCKING TURN OF EVENTS: Halo Confirmed

yeah, like 2 years ago

Man, after that Doom demo yesterday, that demo was kind of dull.

I actually thought that looked more appealing than Doom

Oh sh-t! MS bringing BC back! Sony...you're move

 

[ProjectPat2280]

Whoa!

 

[Tron Bonne]

BC!? Well, I'll be dammed.

 

[Dark_Lord]

Backwards compatibility!!!

 

[SpideyVille]

Wow .. I wonder if Sony can match that, though I think they had originally said it was impossible

 

[DarthSkywalker]

Man, after that Doom demo yesterday, that demo was kind of dull.

I have always preferred Halo, so that looked much better to me. But God do I hate that they ripped out couch co-op. I can't even get hyped.

 

[Havok83]

LOL...funny bc people were saying this was someting that would never return this gen

 

[Iceman]

I'm about 10 mins behind everyone but did I just read X1 will be backward compatible with 360? Future X1s I guess. Will have to trade in when a novelty edition comes out.

 

[Tron Bonne]

What is Xbox Preview?

 

[Havok83]

Oh snap! They just took a shot at Sony

Wow .. I wonder if Sony can match that, though I think they had originally said it was impossible

Impossible until someone forces their hand. PS3 may cause some difficulty due to the Cell processor but there is nothing technical that should prevent PS1 and PS2

 

[ProjectPat2280]

Holy crap. That was a megaton announcement. Sick

 

[Tron Bonne]

It was only 360 titles, though, right? Not OG Xbox. I stepped out of the room for a second, so I missed the first bit of the announcement.
