Everyone expects any game Bethesda released to be in "public beta" form anyways so they definitely won't push back their release because of bugs

PIPBoy edition at around 11:30ish.
The game looks fun, but the character models look terrible after playing The Witcher. Hoping they can improve on that.

I missed various parts of the feed. Didt Call of Duty make a showing as in past years or has Microsoft lost the marketing deal as was rumored?

It's nice to go back and play older games. I went searching for Fallout 3 the other day, ended up by that, South Park stick of truth and CoD World at War. It'll be so much nicer using the Xbox One on these. My 360 is a cheap arcade version I bought late to replace one I dropped in a move, the wifi dongle is missing and I really don't want to do just bridge connection again to connect to xbox live.

Now I can hopefully just leave the 360 alone in the basement somewhere and use my Xbox one solely. Still some games like Borderlands and Sleeping Dogs (I think) and purchased but never played.

Also, will these e3 conferences be available on YouTube after they're live? Would like to see the Microsoft one but missed it.

Unless I missed something, Call of Duty has not been shown yet.

They didn't show it, so that rumor is likely true and we'll see it at Sony conference tonight.

I'm so done with CoD. Every game feels exactly the same.

The only thing that has a chance of beating Fallout for my most anticipated game.

And yea, I'm done with Call of Duty.

Just checked my last year E3 orders.

Still have Halo 5, Batman AK, Uncharted 4, StarWars Battlefront, Zelda, and Star Fox.

Really happy I locked in for all of those at $48 now.

Yeah, this is gonna take a while . . . it's a start though. I'm going to have to scale back the enthusiasm - thought it was basically real BC like the PS2/PS3.

I honestly can't remember the last one I played. And them still selling for close to what they did at launch on Steam makes my desire to play them even less.

Yeah -- this is the kind of stuff that always bugs me with Microsoft announcements.

I just think calling it "backwards compatibility" is kinda spin

the internet is going crazy with people saying the Xbox One is now backwards compatible but really that is not true.

You will be able to play emulated versions of some games in the near future but "backwards compatibility" would imply most game will work just but popping in the disc and that is far from the truth.

Its an interesting feature to be sure but, lets wait and see

MS said holiday 2015 for backwards compatibility launch, its clearly in preview state.

I'm not sure how that's any different from Playstation phasing in games on PS Now.

Its pretty fantastic they are going to be able to pull it off at all, it seemed like there was no way it would happen.

The internet -- cool things get announced, people whine.
