Hype, hype and more hype. As with the build up to E3, speculation around potential announcements has been going into overtime ahead of Gamescom this year. Will we see more of Project Scarlett? Will we finally see some Halo: Infinite gameplay? Will Splinter Cell 7 get confirmed?
Still, there was a steady stream of reveals throughout the day and just in case you missed anything, here are the 7 biggest announcements from Xbox and opening night at Gamescom 2019.
It may be getting on for a decade old, and it may well be soon surpassed by a sequel, but today the spotlight is shining bright on Torchlight on Xbox thanks to the removal of its price tag and the chance for Xbox gamers to enjoy the RPG for free, all courtesy of the Xbox Games With Gold scheme.
Have you been waiting with bated breath for the next batch of free games to be announced for the Games With Gold scheme? Well, you’ll need to wait no more as the much anticipated reveal is upon us as to which Xbox One and Xbox 360 titles are going to be stripped of their price tag via Xbox Games With Gold for August 2019.
We can all agree that the massive sale last week that saw a shed load of Xbox One and Xbox 360 games discounted will be hard to top, but it’s a new week and that means there are new offers in place via the Xbox Deals With Gold and Spotlight Sale. So, if you’re looking for something different to play and wish to get a bargain then the Xbox Deals With Gold and Spotlight Sale for 23rd-30th July, 2019 might just have what you need.
It's a bit of a quiet time in gaming, but that in itself is a bit of a godsend, giving us the chance to check out a number of older titles that may have been missed the first time around. With the Xbox Deals With Gold sale, there's a fair old chance that those games are going to be available at a discounted asking price too, delivering all manner of cheap Xbox One and Xbox 360 to the masses - particularly when you add the massive Xbox Super Game Sale to proceedings. Want to check out the full list of those games which have been discounted thanks to the Xbox Deals With Gold and Spotlight Sale for 16th-22nd July 2019, alongside those Super Game Sale titles that see a further discount to the 29th July? We've got all the details.
Looking back over a lifetime of playing games, and racing games in particular, I am moved to consider which were the best that I have ever played. I'm going to be platform blind on this, largely because I didn't have an Xbox until the 360 came out, so many games I played were on the other consoles that were available. In order that I played them, here are the racing games that have had a lasting impact on me and 10 of the best racing games of all-time.
Xbox One’s first-party situation has been heavily criticised this generation. Microsoft’s existing franchises like Halo and Fable haven’t been in the best position in the Xbox One’s early years and the console has largely failed to launch any successful new IP either. But in the lead up to the next generation, team Xbox has been making some serious power plays by adding 8 new development studios to their first-party since E3 2018. It’s going to be a few years before we see what many of these studios are working on, so for now, let’s take a look at the state of every Xbox Game Studio.
Square Enix came out swinging at E3 2019 and there was a huge swath of announcements and ports. But what were the major takeaways from one of the best shows of the year? Well, these 10 are certainly right up there with what you need to know about Square’s excellent showing.
Looking for another cooperative shooter? This time from the creative minds behind Sleeping Dogs and Just Cause? Square Enix have now unveiled Outriders!
As I settled down in front of Mixer at 9pm on Sunday night, accompanied by a mere 133,000 others to view the Xbox at E3 2019 presentation, little did I suspect what I was about to see. From announcements about the next generation of Xbox hardware to more than 60 new games that were announced, after it was over and done I was left with a pleasant kind of afterglow. While I would have liked to have seen possibly fewer games but in greater detail, the lack of actual gameplay hasn’t stopped me from getting ridiculously excited about the games out later in 2019 and beyond. What I have done here then, for nothing more than your reading pleasure, is to cull my personal top six moments of the 97 minute stream, to look in-depth at the 6 things Microsoft nailed with their Xbox at E3 2019 presentation. And believe me, it has been a lot harder than I thought it was going to be.
