Microsoft Xbox Gamescom 2015 Is Underway - http://clapway.com/2015/08/04/microsoft-xbox-gamescom-2015-is-underway-355/

Microsoft Xbox Gamescom is kicking off this week with a press conference focusing on what games the powerhouse is looking to release in the near future. Microsoft Xbox Gamescom is a German videogame trade fair, much like Comic-con, where you will see costumes and characters represented in amazingly unique ways. It is said to be the world’s largest computer and gaming expo. The conference started at 10 AM EST, and many games have already been confirmed as either having sequels or being new to their territory. Here are a few things Microsoft Xbox Gamescom has released so far:


Crackdown 3


This game takes you into a futuristic city where evil is lurking in every shadow, and your goal is to save the city from a dangerous criminal empire. According to IGN, this game will feature transforming vehicles and a very destructible game world, and since it will be running off Microsoft’s cloud, the game is expected to have much more processing power than the Xbox-one console. This exciting new game will be available to play in summer 2016.


Quantum Break


This time-travel game is not lacking excitement or intrigue. The storyline is a fantastic one, and you’ll recognize many faces. Quantum Break is still expected to have an in-game live action show, as previously promised by Remedy Entertainment, and it will have an affect on the outcome of the choices you make with your character in the game.


This game will be released for play in April 2016.


Scalebound


Platinum Games graciously gave those in attendance at Xbox Gamescon conference it’s first look at this new Xbox-one action game. This game takes you to a hostile, new world and has you battling various creatures, with the help of your friend – a massive dragon – but what stands out the most with Scalebound is it’s four-player cooperative mode. Things are sure to get chaotic, which every gamer love, so several in the gaming world are expecting Scalebound to be a big success. However, many are drawing visual comparisons to Devil May Cry, and arguing that the main characters have similar “personality” traits as well.


Microsoft Xbox Gamescom Conference


The Microsoft Xbox Gamescom conference is expected to last around 90 minutes (it’s almost over now), but the trade show is going on the rest of the week. Stay tuned with us for updates on the new game releases!

Star Wars: Harrison Ford Appears at Comic-Con After Plane Crash - http://clapway.com/2015/07/11/star-wars-harrison-appears-at-comic-con-after-plane-crash678/

When it comes to the upcoming Star Wars movies–owned by Disney, logistically disowned by George Lucas, partially corrupted by sub-par prequels, and an aging Harrison Ford–most fans of the franchise are split between semi-religious release at the thought of a continuation to the universe the epic tale has weaved, or abhor the idea of seeing some favored actors limp around on stage for what may amount to nothing more than symbolic mania, deadening the old trilogy’s significance.


PROFESSIONALISM IS NEITHER ANTIQUATED NOR DISTANT


Wherever you happen to fall on the Star Wars fan spectrum, please know that these actors are alive and kicking. Literally. Harrison Ford, who recently sustained serious injuries when he crash landed his plane at a Los Angeles golf course in March, made his first public appearance for the fans’ ogling pleasure at a Comic-Con Star Wars: The Force Awakens panel. He showed up at the end as a pleasant surprise.


FORD PLEASED TO GREET HIS FANS


At the popping San Diego Convention Center, Ford’s entrance sent the crowd into hyper-drive as Harrison Ford joined fellow re-un-ex-costars Carrie Fisher and Mark Hamill. Ford missed an earlier Star Wars event that came too soon after his flight mishap, but he certainly looked pleased to stand in solidarity with his cast and fans, despite what looked like an awfully painful limp.


HARRISON FORD UNDAUNTED BY PLANE MISHAP


The moderator, Chris Hardwick, made a point to inquire about the fictitious vigilante’s health, but was curtly redirected by Ford’s subject-changing responses, e.g., “Yeah, I’m fine. Thank you very much.” When a fan asked about his foot from the wild crowd, Ford simply responded, “My foot? I just walked here,” rhetorically ending that conversation. In pain or not, it seems Ford is here to work. However, perhaps he should keep Chewie closer for his next flight.


ALSO: COMIC-CON: FRANCHISE RE-LAUNCH & INEVITABLE SENTIMENTALITY


During the talk, Harrison Ford became slightly emotional when the group discussed the strangeness becoming more endemic of 21st century Hollywood of returning to a franchise this big, and this culturally affective, after such a long break. Ford reflects: “It should have felt ridiculous. That was 30-(something) years ago and I sort of grew up. And yet, there I was doing something I did so long ago. I will tell you that it felt great… The original Star Wars…was part of the beginning of my work life. I’m very grateful for the opportunity I had in that film and for the success of that film.”
