There was no sitting on hands this year at Microsoft. The company came heavy with announcements during their Gamescom press conference. So we thought we would hit the biggies with ratings to see how excited we are about all of the games and whatnot.
1. Rise of the Tomb Raider is an Xbox exclusive
Huge news for Xbox owners. A kick in the nuts for everyone else. This will be a timed exclusive most likely, but it still doesn’t mean that Playstation owners are not getting the shaft. I don’t mind DLC exclusives and all that, but a multi-platform game should be available the same day.
There is already a huge negative response to this news.
Still, giant news for Microsoft.
Nerd Rating- 8/10
2. Multiple Xbox One bundles
The rumored Sunset Overdrive white Xbox One bundle was announced. A European bundle with FIFA 15 will also be available.
Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare gets an Xbox One bundle and it is a nice deal. A special edition console with a 1TB hard drive, special controller and copy of Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare.
Nerd Rating- 8/10
3. The Halo Channel
The Halo Channel will be the hub for all things Halo on the Xbox One. Watching and streaming games through Twitch that will “seamlessly transition between Halo games and other Halo experiences”.
The Halo: Nightfall series will also be available on The Halo Channel.
