Microsoft’s E3 Press Conference Jam Packed With Games
Microsoft kicks off this year’s E3 with its press conference. With just under 20 days after its first announcement, Xbox One has had a huge backlash from the core gamers. With the promise that this E3 press conference will focus only on games, will it persuade consumers to buy its new system?
This time the conference started off immediately with in-game footage of Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain. For the first time Metal Gear Solid is in an open world environment. The game will feature a realistic flow of time system.

Microsoft announced a partnership with twitch TV. Twitch TV is built into Xbox One, meaning you can instantly broadcast your game. You are also no longer limited to 100 friends on your friends list. Microsoft will also stop using Microsoft points, meaning everything will be priced in your local currency.
Microsoft hasn’t forgotten about the Xbox 360 owners. Xbox 360 has gotten a new redesign, with a smaller, slimmer version. It will be available starting today. Microsoft also announced that they will start with a system similar to that of PlayStation Plus giving two free games per month which includes titles such as Assassin’s Creed 2 and Halo 3.
Other titles that were announced for Xbox 360 are GTAV, World of Tanks, Max the Curse of Brotherhood and Dark Souls 2.
