This will be the third controller for the Xbox one now. They need to get their shit together. The d-pad on the normal controller is garbage, but that won't make me go and pay $150 for a elite controller

I've got a friend that loves that series but I can't get into it. The camera view gave me motion sickness

Personally, I don't have an issue with this. The alternative is to stick with an original design, no matter what, and never change it. The original Xbox controller was huge, and garbage. The change to the 'S' was huge.
Controllers are more often than not extra purchases after the fact, so you always can find the version you like best. I like continuous improvement.

They said 100 during the conference, but they also mentioned during the holidays. I guess that 100 games is their goal for said holiday time frame, but this is what exists now? At least I can go back and play Kameo, which I've had since the 360 released and have still never played past 10 minutes.
When does the BC start? I'll be getting my geometry wars back but that's the only game I've got on that list

I'm in the preview program so I'll check it out later and see what happens, thanks for the info
I have a ton of XBLA games on 360. Will these be coming over? I want to play Radiant Silvergun again
I'm hoping we get most of the games back, but honestly I'd be happy getting full house poker back. I miss that game

There was some neat stuff in that conference, but nothing that was very surprising. No new AAA IP (like Halo or Gear.) Sea of Thieves look interesting, but I'm afraid it will be some kind of MMO F2P crap. The indie stuff was nice. Cuphead looks nice graphically, but the gameplay looked like a normal side scrolling shooter. I saw some indie games in that sizzle reel they did that looked cool, but they didn't show any. Ion looked liked like a No Man's Sky rip off. The controller is cool. I'll probably buy one for the PC. Gigantic is another MOBA, no thanks. Halo is more Halo, MC "going rogue." Gears 4 is over a year away, so who cares?
Backward compatibility was funny. Started off with tons of cheers and then the caveats showed up lol. Software emulation... 100 games... by holiday... just a few right now...
Halolens was impressive, but where is the game? Looking at a minecraft map is one thing, but it didn't show him play anything. Playing a projection on my wall doesn't sound like something I want to do. Oculus streaming from my Windows 10 PC to the Xbox One is pointless, why not just play it on the PC? The Rare bundle is a good deal.
Lastly, Fallout guy lied! He said he was only doing one demo last night!

LOL, that list of BC games is funny because it's basically the Rare Replay stuff on 360 and a few other things. Here's hoping they update that in a hurry, but I'm guessing there are certification things they want to get through before committing titles and having to pull them.
Overall, I'm quite pleased.
Forza is finally getting a full Forza of content, and while I've been overly critical of Turn 10 (and I'll rail on the next exorbitant Seas/Car Pass as well), it's because I honestly need those 26 tracks to stay engaged. I just got so bored of the redundant driving of only a few tracks in a given championship in Forza 5. I complained about car count because even with all of the cool tech added, it still kind of sucks to have options taken from you.
Halo, I'm in. Just shut up and give it to me already, I don't need hyped anymore than I already am. The Gears remake is a monumental joke, IMO. I mean, they can't seriously charge us more than $20 for a 9-year-old remake of a single game, after they gave us four Halo games for $60, right? If it's over $20, they're idiots. I'm so disappointed in the lack of GoW 2 and 3 (and I'd like Judgment just because I never played it, even if it sucked) that I wasn't even feeling the Gears 4 (how can it NOT be Gears of Four though?) stuff.
Rare did the exact opposite of Black Tusk/The Coalition/Pigeonholed Studios, giving us a bunch of games for a great price, though. I want Rare Replay, getting it at launch. Just Banjo and Viva would warrant a $30 purchase from me, and I might never touch the other games. EA Access is also into "must-buy" territory as well, now that Titanfall and Inquisition are in The Vault. The only thing is, do you get to play Vault games' DLC with Access, or will we need to buy the DA add-on separately? I assume the latter, but thought I'd ask. I'll be hitting up that free week of EA Access for some Madden, and I might try the Gears beta just because, even though I doubt they can convince me to buy that overpriced, underdelivered remake.
There are two things that really fell flat with me for Microsoft, though:
1. The indie stuff, I just can't be asked to care. Game Preview is a step up from Kickstarter and Greenlight, thanks to the free demo option, but it's still expecting people to buy games with no real promise/guarantee of long-term completion or quality. It irritates me to no end. On top of it, the indie games just didn't seem interesting to me.
2. purbeast0 complained about the lack of new IP, but to me, there was enough. The problem is that I didn't care. Recore, we got no info on it, so what's there to like or dislike? Sea of Thieves, kind of the same thing. Gigantic looked like it would fit into the Battlecry vein of hectic, third-person combat, and I just go back to TF2, if I want that. I can't say 3 exclusive, new IPs is anywhere far from enough content, but none of it was interesting. I honestly wouldn't have minded if they retired Fable and Gears last generation, and given us new TPS and fantasy action IPs, rather than drag them here to avoid any risk.
Gamescom might save us, though. At least we have Scalebound and Quantum Break (both of which looked cooler than any of these new IPs) in the pipeline, we know.
