Microsoft first pulled back the rotten, diseased curtain of Dark Souls 3 at E3 with a teaser trailer.

It did one better at Gamescome, highlighting the gameplay we can expect from the next miserable death-fest created by From Software.

It looks like a Dark Souls game.

And that is wonderful.

The movement speed seems slightly increased, which is probably an evolution off the studio's most recent game, the fantastic Bloodborne.

It also looks like the giants are back...

Five years after Crackdown 2 came to the Xbox 360, Microsoft showed off the long-coming sequel at its Gamescom 2015 press conference Aug. 4.

The short story? You can blow up everything.

All in all the game looks exceedingly similar to the first two, though the presenters did say that the city in which you desperately search for orbs will be brand new. The trailer showed off other differences like an upgradeable car and new gang enemies.

However, the most important thing about the game according to the trailer is the allegedly complete environmental destruction.

Like this building you can just demolish:

If you destroy all the buildings though, won't that just make the orbs harder to collect??

Because that doesn't look much better. In fact, it looks way worse.

During the Xbox E3 presser this morning, Microsoft announced that the Xbox One is finally backwards compatible.  If you're an Xbox Preview member, you'll be able to check it out today, but the rest of us plebs will have to wait for this holiday season.  There is no charge to play 360 games you already own (whew).
