After those news, the next game that was showcase was Forza Horizon 3. I must admit as a car enthusiast, the game did more than peak my interest. The game looks amazing. In this gameplay showcase again they
showed the new multi-plataform approach. The game
includes campaign and for the first time they included
a 4 player co-op campaign. They stated that this game
will be their most social Forza game to date. At the
end of the gameplay showcase, they showed a release
date of September 27th. This for me was a definite win!
Then a game we saw on E3 2015, Recore. They showed both the character you would be using as well as your partner and all his different forms, with short gameplay footage. At the end, it appeared to show a release date of either September 13th or 18th, I couldn't see it clearly. For me this was a bust, no intro, no new information and we still have only a small idea of what the game is really about. I think they could have framed the game better and gotten a better reaction. Thumbs down!
After this, Square Enix came out to showcase their new demo from Final Fantasy XV for Xbox One. I am a HUGE Final Fantasy fan; I have been for years. This demo showcase looked amazing. I felt that the Xbox version had a bit less graphics than the PS4 version. I am honestly super excited about this game and also the fact that more gamers will have the chance to experience it since it is coming to both the PS4 and the Xbox One. This for me was a win, and will always be a win! Thumbs way up!!
Then we got the new DLC for Tom Clancy's: The Division. The new DLC is called Underground, I honestly was not that impressed. Why is this, well first of allthey did not show anything about it and also I lost interest in The Division after I passed the campaign. Well for me, Thumbs down!
After that we got more Battlerfield 1. Please refer to my EA's E3 Conference post for my thoughts on this game.
Then like the conferences before Microsoft, they decided to slow down the conference by talking about Xbox Live. I hate the idea of slowing down the conference to talk about updates on their internal strategies.Thumbs down!
After slowing down the conference, they showcased Minecraft's new update, "The Friendly Update". I like the idea of having realms and cross-plataform play but not including Playstation at the beggining seems to not be the best idea. They did talk about working to unite all plataforms but I believe they could have done it from the start. For me, win but underwhelming.
