zerofiftyone Posted August 12, 2014 Wait, are these big conferences a new thing for Gamescom, or have they always been there? For a second I thought I was reading a thread for E3 until I re-read the title. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
melmer Posted August 12, 2014 I think they streamed them last year as well and 2012 it appears 2013: http://blog.us.playstation.com/2013/08/20/gamescom-2013-watch-the-playstation-press-conference-live-today/ 2012: http://blog.eu.playstation.com/2012/08/14/sony-at-gamescom-2012-live-stream/ They're slowly getting bigger... or maybe its just becomes a lot easier to stream this stuff as the years go by. There's definitely an audience, hell, i'm watching it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JonCole Posted August 12, 2014 Thank god I tuned in - And let's be honest... Livestreaming is great! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
melmer Posted August 12, 2014 "First to console on Xbox One" maybe they're finally ditching all the "exclusive" bollocks, can't say i've heard them say the word yet... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zerofiftyone Posted August 12, 2014 "First to console on Xbox One" maybe they're finally ditching all the "exclusive" bollocks, can't say i've heard them say the word yet... Interesting. Maybe somebody at Microsoft listened to that episode of Idle Thumbs Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JonCole Posted August 12, 2014 Meh. On the bright side, Below being "first to console on Xbox One" means it'll probably be on PC? I don't remember them saying it would be coming to PC for sure, but this is about as good a confirmation as I need. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Merus Posted August 12, 2014 Edit: thought you meant Smite, which is out. My bad, no way to delete posts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zerofiftyone Posted August 12, 2014 Are you talking about Smite or just generally? Because Smite has been available on PC for a while now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Merus Posted August 12, 2014 Are you talking about Smite or just generally? Because Smite has been available on PC for a while now. I reread the post and he's talking about Below. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
melmer Posted August 12, 2014 Did he just say "Day Zero" lol. So what exactly is the difference between day 1 and day 0 You'd think you'd want to get your xbox one game on day one not day zero. Mixed messages Phil! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
melmer Posted August 12, 2014 Oh sweet tomb raider! gameplay????????? nope WHAT. Its exclusive to shit box :tdown: man thats a bummer. I'll just have to buy a Xbox One in 2016, i can live with that Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JonCole Posted August 12, 2014 Did he just say "Day Zero" lol. So what exactly is the difference between day 1 and day 0 You'd think you'd want to get your xbox one game on day one not day zero. Mixed messages Phil! This is something Activision announced yesterday. They're going to have a special 'Day Zero' preorder edition that you get the day before initial launch (November 3 vs November 4) which will give you a day of Double XP and some exclusive in-game weapons/junk. Rise of the Tomb Raider is "exclusively available to Xbox One in 2015". So, timed exclusive on console and maybe PC? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
melmer Posted August 12, 2014 yeah you're right, paying closer attention to the wording, 'exclusive in 2015' could end up being just a timed exclusive for one month and it'll come on on PS4 Jan 2016 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Professor Video Games Posted August 12, 2014 This Share Play thing sounds interesting.
