So Gamescom is underway. one of the bigger gaming conferences of the year is happening and as usual, I love the atmosphere surrounding it. I have watched the Xbox conference already and while it was nothing mindblowing, it was definitely enjoyable. Some cool new announcements like Jurassic World Evolution, which I have been waiting for a new game like that for YEARS. I also saw a glimpse of Train Sim World in a montage, I am glad it still exists. There was a heavy focus on PC gaming as well, which while I am not a PC gamer, it was cool to see Microsoft continue to attempt going beyond boundaries and bringing gamers together, even if those said gamers are really damn difficult to bring together because of the attitude of some.

Microsoft's conference was neat, though I am not sure about anyone else. Apparently Sony isn't bothering at all, and Nintendo will be having games playable, but not sure beyond that.

Any thoughts on Gamescom?

It's cool. Nintendo will make a showing so I hope to see more details on Metroid Prime 4.

Based on what I have seen on YouTube, it wasn't good for Microsoft. I didn't watch it all, but it just seemed like most of the same stuff we had already seen at E3. The biggest news was preorders opening for the Xbox One X, but that is something that should have happened when the thing was revealed at E3. Also, not to be a negative Nancy, but I wouldn't doubt if Crackdown 3 ends up being cancelled. It's been delayed as much Scalebound was at this point. I sort of feel like MS doesn't care at this point.
