A new Kinect game made by Rare will come on launch for Xbox One called Kinect Sports Rivals. The theatrical trailer didn't show any actual gameplay, but showed that wake racing, tennis, soccer, rock climbing, and bowling will be among the playable sports.
According to the announced month for launch title Kinect Sports Rivals, the Xbox One will come out in November of 2013.
A new trailer for Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain was shown. A logo for the "FOX Engine" was in the beginning. The cutscene the trailer opened with jumped straight into gameplay with the same graphics. Real-time weather, new stealth tactics, and the open-world nature of the game was announced. The trailer showed the new voice for Snake and a set of new characters.
A new Xbox 360 model was teased, and existing Gold members will recieve Assassin's Creed II and Halo 3 as free full downloads. "Hundreds" of games will be coming to Xbox 360, such as GTAV, Final Fantasy XIII: Lightning Returns, and Batman Arkham Origins. A free-to-play World of Tanks port was teased for the Xbox 360 as well. A trailer for indie game by Press Start, Max: The Curse of the Brotherhood, was shown. Seems like a lighthearted version of Limbo. Will be launched on Xbox 360. Also for the 360 is Dark Souls II.
RYSE: Son of Rome was announced with a small trailer and gameplay. It is primarily in a third-person view and is very cinematic from what was shown. Focuses on combat with lots of quicktime events and combos for kills. Some elements make it seems like Microsoft's answer to God of War. Xbox One exclusive.
Fighting game Killer Instinct 3 was announced. Looks very nice from the trailer shown. Insomniac teased Sunset Overdrive: an always-changing open world game with a cartoony but gritty artsyle. Cars and guns and monsters. No gameplay actually shown, but a cinematic trailer was. Both are Xbox One exclusive.
More information on Forza Motorsport 5 was given along with a trailer and gameplay. The game is said to be the most realistic racer of all time, tracking and recognizing your own driving style and...driving for you? Apparently you'll get credits by your "driveatar" automatically racing people when you're not even playing through the Xbox One's always-on setup.
Yet another Minecraft port was announced for Xbox One, because the non-backwards-compatibility of the Xbox One will require you to rebuy it. Supposedly it will have more to it than previous Minecraft ports, but an incredibly minimal trailer was shown.
New info based on Quantum Break was shown. The hero is named Jack Choice, a guy who survived a failed science expirement that caused time to stutter and sometimes completely freeze. Another new game called D4 was teased with a very small trailer. It's an episodic game with a Walking Dead-esque art style by an indie developer, Swerty65.
Project Spark is a Smartglass-based terrain building sim in which you can set the time of your environment and create and morph environments with your tablet or smartphone. You can then control a character named Claud throughout your world and create villages and other areas. Adding enemies and upgrading objects to fight for you is another feature of the game. Spark seems to have some MMO elements as well. Project Spark will come to Xbox One and Windows 8.
Features of Smartglass were mentioned. It can essentially work as Miiverse for your Xbox One games, but communicates with games in real time.
The Game DVR was announced. Your game footage, no matter the game, is always recorded and is immediately available for editing and posting. A partnership with Twitch was also announced, rivaling Sony's previously-announced partnership with Ustream.
Upgrades to Xbox Live were mentioned. Microsoft Points are getting replaced with real money. Even though Xbox Live Gold is not getting dropped, your Gold service is shared with all accounts on your Xbox One. The friends list cap was also removed or heightened.
A trailer for Crimson Dragon was shown, but with sound issues. Dead Rising 3 was also announced with gameplay. Seems more gritty and serious compared to previous Dead Rising games. Everything you find can be a weapon. Weapon building allows you to add flashlights to handguns and stuff like that. Zombies are attracted to anything and everything you do. Distracting a horde with a massive flare gun was shown in the gameplay. Hijacking cars allows you to mow through zombies and travel to places faster. Artillery support can be called in with SmartGlass devices. Dead Rising 3 will come out this holiday for Xbox One.
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt was announced. It is multiplatform, but exclusive SmartGlass and Kinect-based voice controls are built into the Xbox One version of the game. A small cinematic trailer was shown; no direct gameplay was featured.
EA and DICE announced Battlefield 4: Second Assault with gameplay. The fact that it was in 60 fps was pointed out. More sound issues arose as the gameplay footage booted up. No commentary was given; just the gameplay was shown. Battlefield 4 will come to Xbox One before any other console.
Some game called Below was teasted. No information was given. Literally. None whatsoever besides the most vague trailer I have ever seen.
Microsoft announced they opened many new studios, and a lot of Halo-based news was given, such as a short trailer assumed to be Halo 5, and a Windows 8-based Halo game was mentioned.
A trailer for a new game by EA and Respawn Entertainment called Titanfall was shown as well; it seems to be a futuristic first-person shooter with mechs. You'll be able to parkour on walls and use a jetpack to travese through the missions. Titanfall will be on Xbox One in spring of 2014.
The Xbox One was confirmed to be releasing in November of 2013 at a base price of $499.
CLOSING COMMENTS: So Microsoft completely avoided the real problem: their DRM. They shoved a whole bunch of games in our faces to distract from the problem and the price for the Xbox One is waaaaay too steep. However, the games look nice and the graphics look really good. Makes the system somewhat more tempting, but the issues with the Xbox One are still much too glaring to even consider it.
