Based on leaks, no. It'll be multiplat similar to Fallout 4 I mentioned above.

Thanks for the info.
I'm already sad that the new Tomb Raider is X1 exclusive,
if Dark Souls III were to be exclusive I'd be pretty mad.

Why are people asking if these games will be exclusive? Fallout 4 was already confirmed multiplat, and none of the previous souls games have ever been Xbox exclusives, only Playstation exclusives.

New gamepad made me drool... gonna get one for pc, it has some of the features i thought gamepads should have for many years.
Hololens looks impressive as well

From games aside from new ones i expected recore picked my interest but it's a render so ...
that sea of thieves looks quite interesting too, ion and other indie not enough details to get hooked.
Backwards compatibility is nice, but honestly couldn't care less about it ;P x360 had only handful of exclusives worth playing imo.

Overall nice conference, few interesting things, like i expected dry season is ending.

Tomb Raider never was a MS exclusive, but now it is.
Sonic was never a Nintendo exclusive, but now we're seeing a fair share of exclusive Sonic titles for Nintendo.
If a company pays big enough, there's a high chance that title will be a exclusive

Backwards Compatibility gives me reason enough to want to upgrade. That's such great news, and needed so badly in a market that's going stale to me with console-version-exclusive games. I bought a game once, why do I need to buy it again? Same mentality goes to "remastered", sure it takes "more development" but just make it that way out of the gate you money-grubbing bastards.

The backwards compatibility looks nice, but if they could expand it for the entire 360 library, rather than just 100 titles, then I'll consider getting an Xbox 1.

Wait for all the backwards of the backwards (lol) compatibility.
No one knows right now how the editors like Square and Capcom will react. Will they abandon the ideas of possible remakes (Like FF XIII ultimate collector edition full HD Remake for Xbox One) or will they block their games backward compatibility ?

    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
