Gamescom! It’s the biggest consumer game expo on this lovely planet of ours, made even better by being hosted in a city that has a great, exceptionally drinkable summer beer on tap just about everywhere. It’s an odd one this year, closer in proximity to E3 than it has ever been – so Sony’s largely giving this one a miss. All eyes then on Microsoft, who’ve promised to show of a bunch of things they didn’t parade at E3.
That includes the likes of Crackdown, Platinum Game’s Scalebound and a bigger look at Remedy’s Quantum Break. We’ll probably also see a bit of Rise of the Tomb Raider and Halo 5: Guardians, and hopefully more of Gears of War 4. But what else?
I suspect there’ll be a surprise or two. It’s nearly time for Gamescom to kick of properly, with Microsoft’s conference at 4PM local time – and you’ll be able to watch it right here. What are you expecting from Microsoft? What do you want to see hitting the Xbox One?

The thing I most want to see hitting an Xbox One is a sledgehammer. 😛

In all seriousness though – Mehcrosoft and its MehXbox can step aside for the rest of the show.

Competition is keeping this industry pushing forward if we only have one leading console the industry will not progress.

I’m afraid of this stream…I may, or may not be spending money on yet another console after this. Money I don’t have lol

I have a better idea. Let’s rather wait and see how good the NX is going to be before we all buy boners

A stripper is cheaper – and the resulting boner is much more fun.

Yes, but that much paint stripper is pretty toxic & bad for you in the long run.

Yes, consoles are so much cheaper than PCs that you can’t resist buying all of them.
Pariah
August 4, 2015 at 15:30
If that were true I’d actually have all of them. Or any of them.

August 4, 2015 at 15:29
Yup. Need. Must have NX…If it’s a worthwhile console.
