Man that was a lot! Definitely some stuff that caught my eye. Halo 5 without a doubt, and it needs no explanation as to why it was awesome, another than expect what you would from the series. Backwards compatibility was a huge thing that was announced. Back when the Xbox One and Playstation 4 were announced fans were disappointed we couldn't go back and play our old PS3/360 games and it looks like Microsoft wants to fix that. Holiday this year Microsoft plans to bring back your digital purchases or put your 360 discs into your Xbox one so you can play them again. Also Microsoft unveiled their new Xbox One controller, and no not the one that's going to be released with the 1TB Xbox One, this Elite controller has a bunch of customization to it. You can swap analog stick and D-Pad, and much much more. Games Preview was a cool feature they plan to add. The same concept of Steam's Early Access you pay and support the game as the game officially releases. Gears 4, Rise of the Tomb Raider, and Cuphead had some great gameplay looking forward to those three.
Now I'm interested in seeing more of Recore. Microsoft gave us a a cinematic trailer, and showed us a female lead traveling with her A.I. companion as they take on evil. The A.I. is controlled by a blue orb, so if he self destructs you you simply take the orb and put it in another robot. I want to see gameplay of this, is this a third person shooter, first person shooter, and action game? Whatever it is, I want to see more!
Nothing really came as a low point to me in the conference, I'm not really a racing so I didn't care for the Forza part of the show, but I will agree it looked nice.
