Microsoft Xbox X018 – Inside Xbox Event Full WrapUp & Videos

Jon of RGN writes, "Xbox provided a 2 hour livestream from Mexico City during their X018 Event showcasing their lineup for 2018 / 2019 and revealed world premiere content for first party and third party games. There was also two new studio acquirement announcements for Microsoft Studios and a large number of ways that Xbox plans to get more gamers into their brand by remaining consumer-friendly and increasing their investment on quality content for the future."

it had neat surprises. The 16 new titles coming to Gamepass were a highlight for me.

not to be an Xbox hater or anything of that sort but that was one boring show lol it makes sense why Sony PSX this year as they knew they didn't have much to show

[aconnellan]

I thought it was pretty good, I don’t think anyone was expecting E3-level of announcements, and with that in mind I think they did well. They announced expansions for 3 games I play a lot (two of which N4G tell me are dead, lol) and a few studio acquisitions, which were a highlight.

The game pass announcements I could take or leave, but for some they’re a great deal - I already own PUBG but it’s now really accessible for those that don’t. And I might finally play Ori that it’s on there.

It bored me to absolute tears and I'm sorry I wasted an hour of my weekend on it at all. It was seriously pointless

You don’t actually have to watch the full show you know. It is your own fault for thinking this event is E3 level. They had said multiple time already that this event is to celebrate all thing Xbox, they didn’t say to expect millions of new exclusives games and announcements.

Fanboys hyped this event to be amazing and made bold predictions and once again for the past 6 years and many shows it was a massive disappointment. Some people never learn

[Clark88]

Yes it was boring but they got to start somewhere

[oasdada]

I cant belev i stayed up at night for this.. It sucked! Didnt even announce sunset over drive for pc, i hoped they'll confirm the rumours there but no.. Announcing mediocre studio accusitions like theyre some.big shots was honestly disspointing, no gears 5 or battle toads gameplay..

[gangsta_red]

Glad the Obsidian rumor was true. It'll be very interesting to see what type of game comes next from them.

And Game Pass just got a whole lot better with all the upcoming games announced. That was actually the highlight of the show for me since I'm all about the rentals.

I'm looking forward to playing great games on Da X and eventually the next Xbox

[Ricegum]

Erm. Good for you?

[King_Noctis]

Yes good for him. And on that note, why are you here?

[shuvam09]

Me too :)
On the PC though...

[PlayableGamez-]

Guys and gals.
This wasn't a fan event.
This was a 2 hour Gamepass Commercial.

[aconnellan]

Because god forbid the Xbox team show off an Xbox product at an Xbox event /s

There was a lot of Game Pass in there, but I don’t see how that’s a bad thing.

Every time they mentioned Game Pass, it was talking about new games that were getting added or the deal that it’s on - and there were just as many new or existing game showcases/studio announcements as there were mentions of Game Pass

[RosweeSon]

What for 2 hours... a service people already about littered with games they already knew about but at least crackdown 3 has a release date now cos that’s gonna be a game of a generation forget the year 🤔🤔 yeah don’t think so. Where’s the new stuff the new games we all know about gamepass we know you can play games from 10-15 years ago what about new ones.

[Ausbo]

It was a fan event for the people in Mexico City who got to played unreleased games before everyone else.
Was the show great? No, but give them credit for putting on a great fan service for the people down there

[inxine]

was abit boring, not gonna lie.

[Masta Kaos]

Dog Sh*t event......

[Wotbot]

Good showing for MS, leading the way on a lot of areas, they still need those first party exclusives

[Smokehouse]

I just remember thinking, why is it in Mexico? Then I saw the deafening chant for sea of thieves and realized why... they will cheer enthusiastically for anything.
