The Xbone BC is just like PS Now, without using a sub-fee, but you have to actually buy the game digitally. The library is shit right now. Why are people so hype?
ok so EA conference is starting like nowish…If you can’t watch the conference then this will be the post I will be updating.
Alright conference is underway with uh…something kinda spacey. Mass Effect 4 perhaps? Yeah…it’s Mass Effect 4. Crowd is going crazy. Looks like ingame graphics…pretty solid. Title is called Mass Effect Andromeda. Coming out Holiday 2016.
Dude is talking on stage a lot right now to setup for whatever the next game is. 3 original IP’s will be shown during this conference. Dude mentions Star Wars…people cheer. People are hype for Star Wars.
Need for Speed is the title they’re showing. live action mixed with CG…pretty well done. Will be able to build your car and crew and of course run from the cops. Speed, Style, build, Crew, and Outlaw are the points they’re focusing on for this game. Trailer now showing some of the customization options with the car. Again…game looks very good graphically…now they’re out racing. Game looks pretty fast…drifting looks responsive. Like how the camera moves while you’re drifting.
Moving into Star Wars the Old Republic. Looks like the game is getting an update. Update is called Knight of the Fallen Empire and its coming Oct. 27th. Point of this update is to be more like Bioware Star Wars story telling. Knights of the Fallen Empire will free to all subscribers. Now playing a CG trailer for the update/expansion. looks like 2 twins who grew up together are gonna end up falling on different sides o the force. Trailer looked pretty cool.
Says they’re gonna do more beta and playtesting to get more feedback for their games. Next 2 games are original. Game is called Unravel. They only showed the title for it so far. Main character looks to be made out of Yarn. Game is a puzzle platformer…character will unravel as they go through the stages. Gameplay is all physics based. Use the yarn the swing across gaps…by the way this info is coming from a guy talking about the game and not really showing it right now. Sounds interesting nontheless. Ok looks like we’re getting some gameplay footage now. Character leaves a line of string through the path of where he goes…looks kinda cool. Graphics are pretty colorful and it’s on a 2D plane.
Oh lord…‘Dangerzone’ plays as a dude in a Super hero zombie costume comes out of the back. Guess we’re going to Plants vs. Zombies Garden Warfare 2. Plants will be on the attack this time around instead of the zombies. Game has a 4 player co-op mode called Graveyard Ops. Defend against the plants that pop out of the ground. Showcasing all the different zombie classes. Superhero Zombie has a Hadoken…and there’s a Pirate Zombie. After completing objectives they have to get to the safe zone before everything self destructs. Game will have a Solo Play experience and local split-screen. If you’ve been playing Garden Warfare 1 you’ll be able to move most of your characters you worked on to GW2. GW2 will release Spring 2016 and will come with free content updates. Now they’re playing another trailer for the game.
Moving on to NHL 2016. Showing in game footage of the game. Looks like Hockey. Now they’re talking about Ultimate team in general now.
Now they’re talking about Nba Live 16. Looks like you can scan your face using a phone app and put yourself in the game. Suddenly I’m having flashbacks to what happened last year. New shot system is being put in place…trying to have a reliable and stable basketball experience. Now a gameplay trailer with busta rhymes.
Talking about mobile games now…zzzzzzzz…Star Wars Galaxy of Heroes…zzzzzz…Minions game…zzzz…
My stream was acting up and cut off so I had to get that fixed…
Ok Pele is now on stage talking…guess they’re about to move into Fifa. At some point anyway…checks watch Aaaaand he’s still talking…ok I think he’s done now. Soo where Fifa? There it is. And apparently Mirror’s edge is next followed by Star Wars Battlefront. Soccer pretty much looks like Soccer…yup…that’s Soccer alright…Talking about putting the Women’s teams in the game. Now they’re playing an in game trailer showcasing the stadiums, the field and players.
Alright moving into Mirror’s Edge now! Origin story of Faith. Now showing some gameplay. Talking about the story while showing the free run…no levels, no loading screens everything is open. New Trailer being shown and was captured in engine. Mirror’s Edge is looking pretty good. Faith just kicked the shit out of some soldier and he went flying through a window and out the building. Sucks for that guy.
aaaand now we’re moving into Madden…talking about Fantasy Football. Build your team of past and current players. Play your Fantasy Football team on the field online or solo. Now they’re showing and talking about the actual game. Can choose 3 new catch types for your Wide Receivers. Showing E3 trailer now.
Peter Moore is out now…Guess we are rolling into Star Wars. Russian lady comes out for the intro of Star Wars. Showing some environment stuff and screenshots right now while Russian lady talks over top of it. They’re going into actual gameplay footage now. Walker Assault from the battle of Hoth. Captured from a Playstation 4. Gameplay opens up in first person with a trooper in a hall way of the rebel base. Explosions lasers, people dying, suddenly underneath the AT AT as a ground trooper attacking the rebel base. Tie Fighters flying all over the place. Perspective is shifting between the sides constantly. Trying to take down an AT ST…took it down with a rocket. showing gameplay footage from the AT AT perspective. Summoning an orbital strike. Now switching to the they’re tow cableing the AT AT…DOWN IT GOES. Tie Fighter was in a dog fight with an x-wing and it was awesome…X0wing died. Darth just showed up on the battlefeild followed by Luke Skywalker and they clash sabers just before it cutoff. Looks pretty damn good…Definitely far more interested in that game now. Don’t know if I’ll get it but that was a good showing.
Conference is done…kinda meh overall imo. Had some high and low points.
Small list for preview members, hundred by time update launches, and sounds like they will continue updating titles, tho developers do have a say in whether it is allowed(so unlikely for EA games or anything on EA Access). If u have it u don’t have to buy it again, but it’s unclear whether they mean the disc version will trigger a digital download(if there is one) or if it just means the game will install to HD like a X1 game.
Kind of odd that some of you find BC hype mystifying, when so many people complain about nothing worth buying the new gen systems for… Isn’t that why many people are on the fence about upgrading? That they’ll have to sacrifice their last gen stuff to get there?
Huh? From what I’m hearing you can use your discs. It doesn’t read from the disc, it just uses it to install it and check at boot you own it so you don’t have buy it again. People are already testing it out apparently.
Edit: Or some people’s downloadable are installing on their One already? Not sure.
Edit 2: AlphaZero got it covered
Not sold on MS BC. Otogi games and Gunvalkeryie were never made bc as well as other games. Haven’t tested out Nina Gaiden Black, but JSRF runs terrible on the 360.
