Phil Spencer warned him as soon as he took over as head of the Xbox team and repeated it again at the beginning of the conference: this E3 was going to revolve around the games And so it has been. Ninety minutes of non-stop games that constitute a declaration of intent by the new Microsoft. The list is long and this post is intended to be a compilation of all the news announced for Xbox One and Microsoft consoles.
But from Redmond they assure that this is only the beginning.With the priorities relocated, Microsoft intends to invest a lot of its efforts in new games and convince developers to bring the best titles to its platform. It is the commitment of the entire team behind Xbox represented by Spencer, who also thanked the feedback from users that has undoubtedly influenced Xbox's current drift towards pure gamingLet's listen to him and talk about games.
Call of Duty: Advance Warfare
There are few better ways to start a conference than with the return of one of the most successful franchises of recent times. 'Call of Duty' will reach the new generation with a new journey to the war of the future. In the game we will have all kinds of futuristic technology to support us on the battlefield: drones, mechs, invisibility suits and new weapons. And as if that were not enough, Kevin Spacey appears. We will not have to wait too long for such a deployment since its release is scheduled for November 4, 2014 and will come with exclusive content for Xbox One.
Assassin's Creed Unity
Another of the sagas whose name is already recognized in the world of videogames is 'Assassin's Creed'. The Ubisoft series prepares its arrival to the new generation with a new waste of graphic potential that intends to take us to the French revolution. The game will also feature a cooperative multiplayer mode in which we can join up with three other friends to form our own horde of assassins and make heads roll.
Forza Horizon 2
Revealed recently, Turn 10 could not pass up the opportunity to show at this E3 what he is preparing for the open world version of Forza. 'Forza Horizon 2' will arrive on Xbox One from September 13 with new modes and more than 200 cars that will look like never before at 1080p. He will be accompanied by more and more content for Forza 5, including the mythical Nürbungring circuit that has been recreated to the millimeter and can now be downloaded completely free of charge on Xbox One.
Evolve
'Evolve' has been in development for some time but its arrival is getting closer. Turtle Rock Studios' science fiction game is committed to cooperative multiplayer in which we can choose between four different character classes or even adopt the monster's personality. Its beta will come to an end in the fall and will feature exclusive DLC for Xbox One.
Sunset Overdrive
As expected, Insomniac Games' big game has had its place at the Microsoft conference with a fun trailer and a two-minute demo. The attack of the mutants that has turned the city of Sunset City into an open world in which fighting for survival in the most diverse ways possible promises lots of fun and madness. 'Sunset Overdrive' will finally land on Xbox One next October 28
Super Ultra Dead Rising 3 Arcade Remix Hyper Edition EX Plus Alpha
For the madness that promises the expansion of 'Dead Rising 3' with one of the longest titles in history. The new from Capcom will return to Xbox One with a bizarre version of its zombie-killing saga in which we will be able to handle classic characters from the company's franchises. Available from today for download at a price of 9.99 euros
Fable Legends
The fantastic world of Fable returns with a cooperative game for up to 4 players to roam its vast lands. The interesting thing is that we will also be able to control the villain of the game with a new perspective that allows us to handle the world and the challenges that the heroes face as if we were an evil god dedicated to making things difficult for the good guys. An interesting combination of 'Fable Legends' that will have to be put to the test with the multiplayer beta that is scheduled to launch in the fall
Rise of the Tomb Raider
The Xbox conference has been the setting chosen for the world premiere of the future Tomb Raider. In an introductory trailer we got to see a retired Lara Croft dealing with psychological issues while she seems to long for past adventures. The video is still an appetizer and it will still be a while before 'Rise of the Tomb Raider' arrives on next-gen consoles in late 2015
Halo: The Master Chief Collection
For returns of the Halo saga. 343 Industries intends to explore the past and future of Master Chief and it will do so by reissuing the games in the saga in an edition that will delight more than one. Starting November 11 all Halo games, from 1 to 4, will be playable on Xbox One with 'Halo: The Master Chief Collection'. It will also include the entire multiplayer section of the saga and will include the beta of the new Halo 5 Guardians.
Tom Clancy's The Division
Massive Entertainment's military simulator returns introducing us to a snowy New York City that has been devastated by a recent pandemic. The playable demo of 'The Division' showed some interesting new features such as the overlay of information on the screen, which avoids losing focus on the action, and the continuous orders from our teammates. Teamwork again with RPG overtones thanks to the addition of experience points that will add more variety to a title that aims high.
Crackdown
'Crackdown' returns to Xbox. One of the most surprising and refreshing sagas of the previous generation returns to Xbox with a new game to enjoy with its multiplayer and cooperative mode. Agents with special powers, vehicles, all kinds of weapons and a whole city to explore (and exploit). Crackdown is back and hopefully its return, expected in 2015, is as fun as ever.
The Whitcher 3: Wild Hunt
One of the hopes of the RPG genre has also had its leading role during the conference. The creators of 'The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt' have shown what their game is capable of in a demo in real time where they have shown the mechanics of the fighting, with the use of magic and sword, and have shown the excellent graphic level that we can expect from him.
And more…
The list of games presented by Microsoft does not end there. At the conference we have also been able to find out news about 'Dragon Age Inquisition', 'Fantasia Music Evolve' or 'Project Spark'. In addition, new titles have been released that promise to expand the console's catalog in the coming months, such as 'Ori and the Blind Forest', 'Phantom Dust' or 'Scalebound'.
Special mention should be made of the results of the renewed effort by Redmond to attract independent developers to their platform.During the conference, Microsoft showed snippets of some of the hundreds of games that will soon land on Xbox One thanks to ID@Xbox On the list we find titles with promising looks like 'Inside', 'Cuphead', 'Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime' or others of recognized success like 'Plague Inc: Evolved' or 'Threes!'.
