So Bethesderp's big announcements were:

1) Paid mods.
2) Shitty VR versions of existing games.
3) Shitty sequels.

RIP.

All this super realistic environmental destruction is only possible because of the power of the cloud every XBone has! A game like Crackdown 3 wouldn't be possible without the cloud! (Even Microsoft seems to have forgotten about this and silently swept it under the rug.)

Only two games from Microsoft's briefing are XBOX console exclusives: Forza and some other game ... while everything else is not an exclusive or just a timed exclusive.

Even Ashen will come out on PC.

Except "PC" and "Windows 10 only"-titles are not the same. Windows 10 is being made to be an exclusive platform where you'll need the new piece-of-shit OS from Microsoft, suck down their restrictive UWP DRM and eventually say goodbye to all PC games that don't conform to it.

Repeat: A game that's released for Windows 10 is NOT a PC game.
Not every game shown will be a UWP game, just saying. Most of them will be regular Steam purchases.

Did you notice that in Doom VR you can't actually walk or run, you have to pick a spot and the you teleport to it :lol:

Teleporting instead of walking prevents VR motion sickness - VR totally is the future btw.
It's the difference between Seated VR, where you use the headset to look around and lean in various directions to closer observe something and orient yourself but use a controller for all movement e.g. the Oculus method and Room-Scale where you designate a physical space you can actually walk around in and your position is tracked 1:1 into the Virtual space e.g. the Vive method, which obviously isn't infinite since the room you're playing and walking around in will most likely have walls and shit and leads to design problems (there's a physical space you can walk around and do shit in, and to move said space you "teleport" it away to another virtual location with you in it).

Various games use different methods or a mix between them depending on what you're supposed to do, see for instance the tags for these games:
http://store.steampowered.com/app/527100/Star_Trek_Bridge_Crew/ http://store.steampowered.com/app/306760/Obduction/ - Seated
http://store.steampowered.com/app/646200/Dead_Effect_2_VR/ http://store.steampowered.com/app/342180/Arizona_Sunshine/ - Standing / Room-Scale

Fallout 4 VR seems to have been developed using the first method since it's a full port, DOOM VFR seems to have been developed using the second method, since it's a separate game.

Intel Press Conference is going on just before PC Gaming Show, if you're interested:

As the leader in making incredible gaming and VR experiences possible with the 7thGeneration Intel® Core™ processor, and with its decade-long history in esports with Intel® Extreme Masters (IEM), Intel will reveal where the PC gaming industry is headed next.



Or on Steam: http://store.steampowered.com/sale/pcgaminge3

PC Gaming Show starts after this.

• A major announcement from Firaxis Games.
• A new game from Klei Entertainment, creators of Mark of the Ninja, Don’t Starve, and Oxygen Not Included.
• New BattleTech footage, with brand new info from creator Jordan Weisman.
• A live demo of Wargroove, the Advanced Wars-style game from Chucklefish.
• A visit from PlayerUnknown, revealing what's next for Battlegrounds.
• An exciting new announcement from Tripwire Interactive.
• New footage and details from the PC games we’re most looking forward to.
• Much more!

you fags really think Witcher 3's shitty horse controls are better than Ass Creeds?

I haven't played Witcher 3, so I wouldn't know, but that wasn't your original assertion.

Unlike Witcher 3, ass creed games have had good horse riding mechanics since 2009

What I gathered from this is that AssCreed has good horse riding mechanics and Witcher 3 doesn't. I've played a few AssCreed games (unfortunately) and I found all the controls to be cumbersome and shitty, especially horse controls and combat. So if Witcher 3 managed to have worse horse controls than AssCreed, I'd be impressed... but I've heard it's a pretty shitty game in general so I guess it wouldn't be too surprising.

I'd only want to add that Dragon Age: Inquisition for sure had worse controls than those two.

Wait, I don't get it. Someone did a leak, said about Starfield in the leak. But I fail to see why people expected Starfield if it was only leak, Starfield was officialy announced or not?
Am I missing something?

Really, no mention of all of Starfield? Is that picture of the banner fake then?

I have not had time to follow it all so far.

poor bastards, they don't know they live in a century where internet hoaxes and Photoshop coexist :)

I wonder about the fools that bought a xbone, even worse who will buy a scorpio, you gonna pay money on expensive hardware to play stylized indie BS with shitty graphix that any budget PC could easily run, really, Microsoft doesn't know what it is doing. It is trying to get rid of the Xbone division but is too much afraid of the blacklash, so they keep the xbone around like a zombie.

Mount&blade 2 Bannelord dissapointing so far. Battle looks like first M&B with graphic mods. Damn, even Assassin's Creeds get more changes per game.
