Gamescom 2015 Puns

Because of nostalgia I've been watching some old V aati videos discussing the lead-up to the Dark Souls 3 release. I've stumbled upon this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CB9uOUAoLL4&t=255s
Back then there was a demo at Gamescom were people attending could play Dark Souls 3. That demo footage wasn't released to the public until later, around September 17th.

Now, considering the title screen tease by Kitao a few hours earlier today, I've been thinking that we might be getting some footage soon.

(I should mention that Gamescom 2015 took place around 2-3 weeks earlier than this year. So I'm probably just desperate af but whatever OOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHH)

The Demo was running on a server that was 14 times as powerful as the Xbox One.

>it was using the compute power that approximately 14 Xbox One consoles would be able to generate in total.

And the Xbox Series X has more than eight times the horsepower of the Xbox One.

>12 TFLOPS of GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) performance – twice that of an Xbox One X and more than eight times the original Xbox One.

The real problem here is that bohemia made 90 million € and the company owner pocketed most of it while letting a skeleton crew "try" to lift the junk arma engine out of a 20 year old hole. No excuse in the world can explain how this amount of money results in a game being developed this slow. Especially that BS patch last year was insulting, that had new tree colors and nothing else.

Bohemia what is the explanation for this screw-up? All the expectations we gamers had. If this game had a real publisher model, it would be complete and of quality. Because then the developers had to work for the money they are getting paid, but this pressure is gone because we customers gave all that money to them. And this an example on why early access is a failure. Developers are being paid for an expectations and the delivery and quality is far below the expectations. They got paid huge amounts and have no obligation to make it worth it.

The lesson is, do not buy bohemia early access products, they will not reinvest most of the money back into it. Because if they had, the game would be complete already.

And just skip the stupid status reports and replace them with a single sentence telling what the expected delay is to delivery.

Just rewatched some matches from that tournament. Damn, it was so funny and exciting to watch! Maps were chosen by audience and teams had certain amout of lives. Its so sad that now we dont have that funny and unusual tournaments that we used to have in 2015.

I think that would be a great idea to host a tournament with some funny rules before the major and after player break. It would be good for viewers and for players also.

Before we had IEM Gamescom, ACER Predator Masters, HTC 1v1 and 2v2 tournaments and such. Now its just boring formats all over again.

Event Details

Wir waren bei dem Last Man Standing Event 2015 nach der Gamescom. Was btw auch richtig cool und lustig war! Zu meinem Highlight: Damals war Olli scheinbar schon bei der Doktorfroid gruppe aber noch nicht vor der Kamera unterwegs. Während der Show gabs ein paar technische problem und dann wurde immer Olli als Techniker gerufen was im laufe des abends zum running gag wurde. Ich hab mir danach von ihm noch eine unterschrift geholt weil ich ihn so cool fand.. und jz ein paar jahre später merk ich erst, dass er nicht nur der techniker bei dem event war. :D

August 4 is pretty much what we're all looking forward too, the day Xbox shows gameplay footage/demos of upcoming exclusive games like Scalebound, Quantum Break, Crackdown etc. Plus likely more Halo 5 footage as well.

This is technically a better lineup than E3, and something I've been waiting for since we were told that these games wouldn't be at E3 but Gamescom.

Personally I'm really looking forward to Scalebound, it may be Xbox's first RPG exclusive in awhile that actually succeeds.

Here's our interview with Palmer Luckey at the Gamescom 15. It's a very technical interview that we think you guys may find interesting. We talk about details like why Oculus didn't add focal adjustments to the Rift, why there won't be any FOV loss when wearing glasses, why Oculus isn't actively supporting SteamVR and other interesting matters. Enjoy!

The Gamescom 2015 Xbox Press Conference Post-Show Reaction Thread (previous event threads)

What did you think of what was the Xbox Gamescom 2015 press conference?

Share your thoughts/likes/dislikes/indifference below.

I was at the Gamescom this year. Bethesda showed a few nice things.

First of all they showed a video of the Special "Strength".

It shows the things we already know about the special stat.

"Strength" is for melee dmg and carry-capacity but is also requiered for a few perks.

The second video was new gameplay, maybe showed at quakecon. Enemys are still alive after cutting of ther limbs. Raiders with PowerArmor are looking pretty nice. Lockpicking and Hacking are still the same (never touch a working system in my opinion) SuperDuperMart looks pretty impressiv.

Different kill animations with melee weapons, like a knee smash into the stomach and then the basballbat hits the head.

A new vertibird crashing animation (maybe only for one quest)

Feel free to ask questions I will do my best to answer them.

!sorry for bad grammar!
