X15 | Xbox Canada Showcase

So Xbox Canada's 2015 Showcase was held today in Toronto and due to a connection that I have I got early VIP access and got to bring a friend along before doors opened to the rest of the public. It was just Staff, Partners, Media, and VIP Guests that were allowed during the time I was there so the crowd wasn't too big at the time and there were no lines.

There were some games I couldn't take pictures of, Halo being one of them. I only managed to get pictures that didn't include any game-play. I'm not an Xbox fan at all and I don't own one either. Almost all of the games there were not Xbox Exclusives so for me it was more of an event to try out unreleased games early. I'll talk about my favorites and whatever pictures I have of them. Most of the pictures don't show game-play.

Rainbow Six Siege

I don't really know what it was but the graphics for the game were pretty bad. It seemed a little too sharp with a lot of rough edges. Also the movement was a little weird as well, it seemed like it was a bit delayed from when you actually did something. Apart from those two things, the actual game was really fun. It's really team oriented so you really do have to work together. We were only able to play one game mode (Terrorist Hunt or something like that) and it was really nice and new. After actually playing it, this might be a game that I plan on getting now when released. I recommend you guys to play the beta if you get the chance.

Halo 5

This game was actually a little bit of a letdown. The graphics weren't too optimized (still pretty good though) yet and there was almost nothing new that was shown to us in what we could play. The guns and vehicles were basically almost the same. I know some people say Call of Duty is the same thing over and over, but it was nothing compared to this Halo. In what we played it was just a bunch of us against a lot of AI Enemies. The actual game mode was pretty fun. Also team oriented since in some games people were doing their own things and it just ended in a big fat loss.

Forza 5

They had a steering wheel setup and it was actually a really fun game. Everything was very realistic. The graphics were one of the best that were present of any game there. Nothing bad to say about this game, it was just all around excellent. If you're into racing games this is a definite one to get.

The Division

I was too distracted in playing this game that I forgot to take a picture at all. I was looking forward to this game for a long time and the delay in the release date has really shown to have paid off. Stunning graphics and game-play. Very team focused and a totally new idea for a game. This one is gonna be a big hit I'm sure. A lot of things were preset for us (i.e. weapons, customization, etc.) so I can't comment on any of that. Great game, only one that had a line.

Gigantic

This is basically like League of Legends with some new and different elements put into it. Simple and fun game with good fitting graphics. Not sure if I'll be playing it much, but it was fun to play at the event.

Deus Ex Mankind Divided

This game looks sick. No playable demo, just trailer and game-play video.
