They actually just updated the net code this past week.

Friend today says hit detection is still a failure and you can still be hit from behind cover.

To be perfectly honest with you I haven't personally played the game in three months. I have it for PC, my friend has the game on PS4.

I know I am in the minority, but I am looking forward to the next Madden. The current smart glass integration is really good and all the Kinect stuff is awesome. I just hope it improves.

I'm not a Madden fan but the new NHL 15 looks to be pretty sweet.

I think Assassin's Creed Unity 4 player co-op could be pretty mind blowing too.

I'm watching it on the Xbox presentation replay now so it came to mind and looks pretty fun to have a couple people doing the missions.

The co-op looked cool, but I cared more about the speed/intensity of the game. The climbing was really fast, and the combat seemed more offensively-engaging than the predecessors, where it was basically holding down block and counterattacking everything to death. Maybe it's the fact they were in a group (so they had more of a safety net in combat), but it just seemed like you were able to be more assertive than usual, and the combat was fluid and impressive.

My only concern with it, and the general trend of these games, is the co-op. I'm curious as to how the experience changes online vs. offline. It's similar with Sunset Overdrive, that you can campaign co-op or solo. With Halo and Gears, it makes it a lot easier to beat a campaign when you have help. I'd be a bit concerned that this trend will either lead to excessively-easy co-op campaigns or a phasing out of solo campaigns.

What's mostly on my mind in regard to that is... how are they going to adjust the difficulty? I'm guessing that assassination missions won't be all that hard, but you probably have that friend that is absolutely awful at stealth missions, and they'll constantly blow them for you.

Well, if you watched the video they have more guards, positioned at areas you wouldn't be able to hit alone. It seems like in Co-Op they make it more difficult because they expect you to have help. That's how it appeared anyhow.

They called the Sunset Overdrive co-op campaign a specific mode by name(I can't remember the name they used). I wonder if the campaign is actually different. Designed so that you are given a challenge.

I think Chaos Mode, and it's 8-player. However, there was no elaboration on it, like you said.

Can you shout things like, "line change!", or, "change!", and have the game react (assuming the kinect is hooked up)? You can do that sort of stuff in madden, right? With audibles and snap counts?

That's it, yeah no info. Games looks like a blast though so I'm in.

That's awesome. Definitely going to take a look this evening.

It's not live yet so I haven't seen what it looks like.

In madden and fifa you can shout commands. I dunno why NHL wouldn't have this.

I'm pretty sure you can do anything at the line with voice that you can with the controller.

my impressions after ms conference, just finished watching it...

call of duty - graphics look nice with A LOT of stuff going on, but it's cod so a big fat MEH. it will just be more of the same and probably not even running on xbox1 in the demo.

assassins creed unity - big fat MEH same old crap, even saw stutter and clipping when walking through that big crowd. it'll be bug ridden just like other ubisoft games.

evolved - looks pretty interesting but want to see a bit more.

forza horizon 2 - not much really new about this, so while i'm excited about the game, it is pretty meh of a presentation. i did like the rally part where they showed you just jumping through fam land.

dragon age - wish i liked rpg games because it looked pretty damn neat from the video.

ori and the blind forest - pretty cool indy looking game. reminds me of max curse of brotherhood.

halo anniversary - pretty damn neat and a great idea, that i bet is going to sell extremely well. it is A TON of game for the $60 price tag.

tomb raider - will definitey get it even though they didnt show jack about it. latest one was just really badass.

witcher 3 - meh. just not my style of game. the combat and controls look clunky as hell just from the video.

the division - not sure how i feel. game looks too busy and clunky as hell just from the video. seems slow too like it is animated funy. but ill wait to see more about it.

scalebound - no clue wtf this game is about. cgi trailers do absolutely nothing for me.

crackdown - definitely excited to see where it is going. don't really care for the trailer though since i'm sure it is all cgi. just excited a new one is coming.

After seeing a gameplay video of Evolve on YouTube, I'm actually really looking forward to it.

Man, Sony's app is kinda meh compared to Microsoft's. Their view opens up a link to UStream in the browser. Microsoft at least had a built-in viewer that was far less janky!

EDIT: It should also avoid forcing you to go through the dumb tutorial so close to the big events (i.e. conference).
