I love that Forza gamepad except for the stupidly out-of-place white bits on the back.

It shows that Microsoft is an american company. So much focus on diversity.

Looking forward to Halo. Hopefully a sneak peek on Forza Motorsport as well.

Fucking controllers.

Where's Major Nelson and his gloves? I need to be upsold more paint job bullshit I don't need, while being starved for games worth buying. Perhaps they can dedicate 10 minutes to telling us Xbox customers about new Xbox console paint jobs.

Holy shit I literally flinched when Charli popped up on screen. I'm sorry, but she honestly startled me.

No lies, I swear i did the same. Its because yellow is often used as a warning IRL, its a sign of disease and infection. Great choice for a hair colour lol about as appealing as this:

I smell a delay for Halo lol

All this Forza focus lol

Naw, they could always use more eyes-on Forza. (Plus, it's in its element as a Gamescom event, even though there's not an actual event and so it's just "worldwide video" rather than something European press would write a ton about.) It's an easy game to trot out and show as much footage as possible, there's no fear of 'spoilers' or of needing to be careful of the brand manager's timing on announcements (though some cars and features are doled out at a time... and that HALO drop of a car was pretty rad right now,) and it's just a gorgeous game that you could show plenty of and not burn out the audience.

Whereas Halo, they could announce a direct event of Campaign or even a new trailer or a date any day now and capture a massive audience in an instance. They don't need to tie it to a trade show to get media attention.

So far nothing worth an event. Seriously this has been boring as hell. They couldn't even refrain themselves from making a huge deal about a new colour for a controller again

That Yellow is about the worst color I have seen for hair. And she got it done for this presentation, and it is terrible.

At least FH5 is gorgeous. Gives me hope Fable will look amazing. At least I can play FH5 for free with GP day 1 this fall. The rest of this show sucks.
