Just sort of curious like, I guess I don't quite get it but why does at least most of the media think Microsoft did the best? Not trying to be like a Sony fanboy but, all I saw was Backwards Compatibility which, I don't get why that is the biggest deal in the world. I mean I guess we all do just sort of throw old consoles directly into the trash can when we upgrade or are too lazy to plug them in to the second HDMI or a switch box.
Otherwise all I really saw was Gears of War HD which was, predicted a few weeks ago and from the looks of it it's legitimately just a port as it didn't look any better than running it natively on PC for the past like eight years now. Halo 5 which looks alright and all, but it just looks like more of Halo 4 (Not a terrible thing.). Forza which I've never been a fan of, if I wanted to play that type of game I'd honestly just play Project Cars most likely. Then my biggest disappointment was probably Gears 4, which to me at least looked pretty awful and just sort of a downgrade to 3. The new protagonist looks like a doofy B.J. Blazkowicz knock off that while has more personality than Marcus I'd almost say I'd prefer the short worded Marcus over him.
I just feel like Microsoft just sort of did a good job running on the vibes of Backwards Compatabillity and then Rare's Nostalgia collection which is just sort of like, okay, a good handful of these were already on Xbox Live save for Banjo majorly. It's like the major thing for them was that they push they have the most exclusives out this year, but they're the same exact games they rode out the entire Xbox 360 generation with. I'm not saying Sony/Nintendo don't run their franchises along, but it's almost tiring how hard Microsoft is riding on Halo, Gears, Forza, and Fable primarily.
Oh, controller looked pretty neat, I actually hope that fixed my sort of odd fit problems I had with the Xbox One controller. Wouldn't mind owning one of those actually, if it's fun to use.
