Xbox Games Showcase [English]

Join us Live for a new look at HaloInfinite campaign and much, much more.

[XxExacutionerxX]

Bring it on microsoft!

[LegoIsAwesome]

Am I the only one who immediately thought of Uncharted 4 graphics is much better than Halo Infinite?

No bias here.

[LegoIsAwesome]

Hellblade 2: A Very Unstabled Young Woman.

Or unstable is the right word? they did it with Tlou2: a very angry lesbian.

[Lore]

For those who are only getting an xbox, be proud that Msft is actually focusing on rpg’s that have the potential to be on par with the likes of Fallout, Witcher 3, etc. Games that can sell consistently for 10+ years and be beloved. Avowed looked exactly like Sony’s missed opportunity from their 2013 tech demo “Dark Sorcerer.”

Why Sony doesn’t have a care in the world to create these sort of games is beyond me and a major blow to my personal morale.

[LegoIsAwesome]

You can have Avowed. My hype goes to Everwild and the life is strange type game (forgot the title but the game that first chapter is available on aug).

[RazzerRedux]

"Why Sony..."

Why do you have to make this about Sony?

[LegoIsAwesome]

Dude might had seen my comment about Uncharted graphics being better than what they shown and is thinking of a comeback.

[ABizzel1]

This was decent, to be honest I'm a bit underwhelmed by what they showed. Once again it was a bunch of Trailers, and very little gameplay outside of Halo.

[UltraNova]

Well that's it. At least they've announced Fable by Playground.

7/10 IGN.

[MajorLazer]

Yep. Thought I was going to be blown away. I've seen a lot of current gen games that look on par or better.

[LegoIsAwesome]

Underwhelming yeah but lets go believe what Microsoft team said that they held back in showing their new games. Everwild. Fable. Those 2 are my only hype games. My problem is they're both in PC so.... Idk. I feel if I said anymore imma get negative and will report me lol.

[sprinterboy]

DS, GoT, tlou pt2, FF all looked better than anything shown today. Powr of the series x/S
What a joke Xbox

[TheTony316]

Honestly? Tlou2 and Ghost of Tsushima look better than anything on this show.

[LegoIsAwesome]

sprinterboy
Dont include Death Stranding. That aint a 1st party game. It was made by Kojima who pave the way for HZD coming to PC.

[LegoIsAwesome]

TheTony
True man.... I feel like Halo's deb didnt fully utilize Series X hardware.

[Lore]

@legols

Lol get real dude, I only play on my playstation and have only owned an xbox one which i got for next to nothing. My comment was based on Sony not creating any compelling rpg’s. Which tend to be some of the richest experiences in gaming. Why people complain about how good a game looks or lack there of is beyond me. It’s about gameplay, not solely graphics. As long as the game looks modern at a stable frame rate, that’s all that should matter. Gameplay is what keeps you engaged.

[LegoIsAwesome]

@Lore

Oh then you have a point man. Well Bloodborne and Horizon is RPG but Horizon aint exclusive anymore. And Bloodborne I guess is a ARPG? Was kinda hoping Sony did a JRPG.

Man wish Sony or whoever there is bought Suikoden from Konami. Cause that jrpg is the bomb.

[morganfell]

""Why Sony..."

Why do you have to make this about Sony?"

Maybe because all he has heard is 12TF...in Sony threads. Maybe because people pointed out a tunnel light in a video of a game in alpha and here is the in-beta flagship not keeping up with the competitions current gen.

Not saying I agree with him doing this in this thread but both sides throw rocks in each other's articles.

[darthv72]

Most of what I saw looked really good and I like that they will be in gamepass and allow me to try before I buy.

[RgR]

Unfortunately not. That cameo of the villain looked awful. Maybe it's the video quality but geez...show something more impressive for halo. It's your flagship title and you blow it!

[deleted]

Remember how impressive the Killzone Shadowfall gameplay reveal looked 7 years ago? Granted, it's not going to compete in resolution and framerate, but just the overall art direction for a 2013 game...

https://www.youtube.com/wat...

[RazzerRedux]

@LegoIsAwesome

"Well Bloodborne and Horizon is RPG but Horizon aint exclusive anymore."

lol....Lore is adamant that Horizon is NOT an RPG. If you say otherwise he will write paragraph after paragraph explaining how uninformed you not once explain his reasoning that Horizon is not a RPG.

Believe me. I know this from experience.

@morganfell

Very true.

[Unspoken]

No, you are probably not able to see they use very similar shading and lighting tech, but Uncharted can only run at a low frame rate and have clunky movement and abysmal action vs a game running 60 fps+ with extremely satisfying gun play.

[SubtilizZer]

Seriously... that’s delusional at best.

The draw space is huge.

Honestly I won’t give you anymore of my time.

[LegoIsAwesome]

Me and the other 80 ppl who agrees with me are delusional. Ok then.....

[morganfell]

@Razzer,

"Well Bloodborne and Horizon is RPG but Horizon aint exclusive anymore."

Looks like someone is forgetting this game is over 3 years old, was announced for PC the same year the PS5 sequel was announced and HZD was brought to the PC for a reason. Drive gamers to the PS5 launching this fall. Hilarious.

Maybe he wants to compare Sony's big Open World Game announced at their last show with Microsoft's Open World game shown today.

[chicken_in_the_corn]

Is this the first new gen where the graphics are worse than the gen Before?

[Muzikguy]

Wasn't there some talk somewhere about MS showing is what real next gen will look like?

[LegoIsAwesome]

@morganfell
And you really thought PC elitist will migrate to the PS5 for Horizon 2? Cause they didnt with the PS4 with Infamous, Bloodborne, Spiderman, God of War or when HZD was still exclusive to Sony?

[RedDevils]

No Bungie no HALO

@Lore Horizon ring any bell?

[Unspoken]

Actually the other 39k plus and 60k plus think you are delusional. Check the linked video..lol. or are you just spamming the Xbox threads without anyone here banning Sony trolls...

[morganfell]

And you can prove PC gamers didn’t buy in? No you can’t. Go to the Steam forums. Plenty of gamers there have grabbed PS4s, If you don’t know anybody that was a PC gamer that decided to pick up a PS4 to cover the games that are on PC then you’re living under a rock. You shouldn’t worry about Sony. They’re going to keep hammering away. You should be worried about Microsoft and what they’re not doing.

[Koolaidude]

Is Uncharted open world? It is harder to make an open world look good compared to a scripted movie like Uncharted or Last of US.

[pwnmaster3000]

Everwild looks pretty good

[UltraNova]

Obsidian is on fire! Can't wait to see more.

[pwnmaster3000]

Yeah they caring the team right now imo.
The new rpg by them looks to be interesting

[medman]

@pwnmaster3000
Everwild does look interesting....another one with no gameplay though. Disappointing showcase overall....I was really hoping to be wowed, and there was not much there at all. I like the diversity of games, but the Halo gameplay underwhelmed completely, Forza, which I assumed would be there at launch or thereabouts is "early in development"?????, and while there were several titles I'm interested in, there was not a single stunner in the bunch.

Microsoft is pushing gamepass hard, and rightfully so, it's fantastic....but it looks like the launch lineup is Halo and a lot of games people have already played given a series x upgrade. Maybe the medium is a title that can hit launch, but I don't know....not a great showcase for Microsoft imo. Not nearly enough gameplay. Not even close.

[deleted]

Yes, Everwild has me intrigued! I do want to see more.

This is another title that may push me to get an XBSX down the line to go with my PS5 if it turns into something great. I do hope it turns out well. At least XBox Series X (god, I do hate the name, but whatever) has some rpgs/fantasy games this gen that appeal to me more than what XB1 had to offer. I never owned an XB1, but I did have a good PC to play them... I pretty much stuck to Forza and Forza Horizon 3 and 4. I don't feel like upgrading a PC again, so an XBSX eventually isn't off the table IF MS continues to make improvements. We'll see.

[GamerRN]

@otterx

They literally showcased 3 exclusive RPGs... I think if RPGs are your thing this is the year for Xbox

[phoenixwing]

@GamerRN
rpgs are my thing and i am very pleased with the show. however they should have shown gameplay so it's a c to me if i had to give a letter grade

[pwnmaster3000]

I was really excited for this. Not gonna like kind of disappointed

[Marquinho]

I'm disappointed to be honest. Badly carried event.

I'm happy they finally announced Fable but I hated the black humor they used.

The game from Obsidian looks good but it was a mini-teaser.

We also didn't see Forza Gameplay.

Not saying the games shown were bad but they gave too much time to timed exclusives or medium budget games and almost nothing to Triple As.

[pwnmaster3000]

At least do a Sony and show a little more for your closing game.... I was really excited for fable but yet was left with that bland trailer reveal... idk I guess I’ll be more patient for it.
Halo another favorite looked kind of outdated.
Idk I guess I’ll wait and see.

[darthv72]

So happy to see fable make a return.

[SyntheticForm]

Matt Booty appears and says "Today you've seen 10 new world premiers and 20 new console launch exclusives" and I'm thinking "What?"

They're tooting their own horn again, but nothing that was shown was remarkable. Others let the games do the talking, but Microsoft are showing us unexciting things and then telling us how many unexciting things were shown.

So disappointing, and as of this moment, the Series X isn't even on my radar. It would take something extraordinary to care about Xbox as of now. This was supposed to be that, but it didn't happen.

[BenRC01]

So thats another gen handed to sony. Well done ms lol

[TheScotsman]

No one will argue with you, if they do they are delusional, what another mis step for Microsoft and xbox

[imtiyaz6]

Hate to admit it but Avowed looks really intriguing. Everything else was a snoozefest but MS finally has an IP that I want. If they get a few more of these new IPs in along with the rumoured purchase of WB games, Sony will finally have real competition. To people on the thread celebrating that HZD is not an exclusive anymore. Congrats on finally playing it after 3 and a half years. Lol. Y’all know Sony bought it to pc just to make the pc people thirsty for HZD 2 on ps5.

[TheScotsman]

Exactly, being on PC doesn't make it not a console exclusive, it's only thick PC gamers( the thick ones not the majority) that think if a game is on PC it's not a console exclusive.

[JesusBuiltmyHotrod]

Looks like MS forgot to bring it.

[Lexreborn2]

Swear to god if you made a drinking game on how often someone says Halo you would be drunk as hell

[cl1983]

Wait you didn't stay up all night playing that game already. I did it based on the number of what we want to see stories.

[Ron_Danger]

1 halo...2 halos.... 3 halos.... Ah Ah Ah....

[TheScotsman]

Well halo and welcome this halo place for a special halo event of angelic halo amounts. So it's halo from him and hola from me. Too much ?? /S

[Luc20]

I'm watching this to see if the other side can impress me...

[_dangerclose_]

and?

[Luc20]

Honestly disappointed. Thought I'd see something groundbreaking and then... Destiny 2? Tetris? Another Forza? No Hellblade gameplay? Some bland trailers. Console launch exclusive?! Really? Is this going to impress anyone? I guess I know what I'm go to buy in November. Were you impressed?

[Unspoken]

Hmm, you only watched 4 games out of the 19? Well...I can say I'm interested in the other titles you have left out. People must be blind when watching Xbox videos.

[UnholyLight]

I'm a big fan of both Xbox and Playstation, but you can't sit here and tell me the PS5 reveal conference had the better games. That one was faaar more disappointing to me and showed little substance compared to how I felt about this Xbox one thats for sure. At least for me.

[GamerRN]

The big difference is the PS5 reveal only showed a few exclusives and many multi platform games that were coming to Xbox.

Xbox was all exclusives...

[Edgelordsupreme]

I find it distressing you would view this as "The other side", they're video games and if you're coming from the perspective of "The other side" than maybe your input on the whole thing is kinda tainted and useless?

[mrsolidsteel20]

hmmmmm......Halo doesn't look at that great.

[OzzY-waZZy]

Halo's looking very xbox one-y.

[cl1983]

I'd say lets look at the 4k video not the 1080ish that the stream is.

[jerethdagryphon]

Everything they showed looks like a current gen game in next gen wrapper.

That coop survival yard game... Seriously that's what you put on a launch showcase
Halo again some rpg things that might or might not pan out

[Army_of_Darkness]

@cl1983

That would just be mediocre graphics in 4K.....

[autobotdan]

Yeah I agree it doesn't look very good

[mrsolidsteel20]

Well at least it was their first showing.

[morganfell]

There is a lot of pop in as well. For the people that pointed out a tunnel light in a video of an alpha game, this might not be what you want to see.

It is their first showing but at this point in development with launch this fall it is easily inside the beta window.

[Minute Man 721]

@ morgan

Yes there is pop-ins but there is still time for polish

[jerethdagryphon]

Looks about as impressive as kill zone shadow fall gameplay. Trailer
So that's not good

[343_Guilty_Spark]

Are you watching a 1080p stream cause it's gorgeous in 4K

[dRanzer]

So you watched it in 4k?

[Manic2014]

@dRanzer - https://www.youtube.com/wat...

The stream did not do it justice.

[sprinterboy]

There was no 4k stream numb nuts

[Unspoken]

Game does look pretty good.

[ABizzel1]

It looks no different from any other current-gen open-world game currently.

Far Cry
https://www.youtube.com/wat...
Red Dead 2
https://www.youtube.com/wat...
Anthem
https://www.youtube.com/wat...

The game definitely looks like an above-average current-gen game open-world game, with the resolution and framerate boosted to 4K @ 60 for next-gen.

And unfortunately, almost every game they showed at the show was just that, average - slightly above-average. I'm thoroughly disappointed with showing, and it's a clear showing that MS is more concerned with getting people to buy into GamePass for anywhere than they are selling their new console. The last key to the first half of this gen is price and services, and I'm still under the impression the Series X is going to cost more than the PS5, and the Series S is their attempt to combat that in North America at least. So unless they have services that are completely game-changing (GamePass + XCloud are great, but might not be enough), then they are in a similar, albeit better, situation to last-gen.

[monkey602]

There's going to be so much salt when Doom Eternal gets all the shooter of the years awards over it 😶

[RazzerRedux]

Open world Halo?

[lonewolf10]

Looks a bit that way to me.

[RazzerRedux]

I'll take it.

[Petebloodyonion]

Seem that way!

[KyRo]

Not being a fanboy here but considering Halo is their flagship, graphically, it doesn't look a whole world away from what we have now. It may just be the art style. Let's see what else they bring.

[I_am_Batman]

It's a cross gen game. I have no clue about Halo, It does look fun though.

[KyRo]

That's true but they also said that the Series X wouldn't be held back by the Xbox One. As I said though it could be just the art style they used but I don't feel anything so far (30 minutes in) has looked "OMG THIS IS NEXT GEN".
This is going to sound fanboyish but I'd say that The Last of Us 2 has looked and animated better than most of these games shown here apart from the lighting.

It's good to see MS have quite a diverse library of games though. It's a nice change I hope they continue with.

[I_am_Batman]

@Kyro: Not being held back by last gen was always gonna be bullshit. With that being said I was surprised to see some really low res textures like the overall of the pilot dude. Those things are actually scalable and they didn't even look that great.

[jwillj2k4]

All of their games are cross gen games... this is going to be the status quo for at least the next 5 years for them. (2 years of cross gen, minimum 3 years of dev time afterwards)

[ChristopherJack]

Honestly, with the goal of most games reaching 4k60fps or even 120fps, expect graphics to stagnate. One solution would be multiple graphic presets/options depending on desired resolution/fps but at that point, you're reaching the complexity of a PC.

[Rude-ro]

The pixels will not make a game better.

[ChristopherJack]

That's a rather ignorant statement.
Here's a 1080p image https://i.imgur.com/E6s2wZw...
Here's a 450p image https://i.imgur.com/sJm0OHi...
That's a 4.8 size jump over 450p, 4k is almost as large of a jump, at 4 times 1080p.

& this is only Fallout 4, a game with very muddy textures(I just happened to have it installed), take something like Ghosts of Tsushima or even Witcher 3, especially near grassy scenes, & you'll see what I mean.

I don't think Resolution is the most important factor, but enough vocal gamers apparently do to the point that both Sony & Microsoft have made 4k their goal. Unfortunately, with most console games seemingly aiming for 4k, those with lower resolutions seemingly gain little to no advantages despite not requiring the game to use as much processing power.

[Unspoken]

It is the art style. Many fans were asking for a return to roots, but with a much improved engine for better shading, lighting, and effects running at high frame rates for console. Here take a look at the this gameplay.

https://youtu.be/jFPyyEQb10...

[F0XH0UND922]

Dude, you're damage controlling hard. The lighting, audio, particle effects, textures, and wow factor were all terrible. You seem to be the only person, including Halo fans, that are claiming this was a good showing.

[C-H-E-F]

Halo looks this way because Microsoft believes the Xbox One X isn't going to hold it back and that they are able to max out the Xbox Series X console while still providing a game that runs on the Xbox One X. This logic is why they will not be successful yet another generation. [Xbox (last place), Xbox 360 (last place), Xbox One (Last Place)], it's just a trend they are used to apparently in the console war. You cannot cater wholeheartedly to the new system when you have to worry about the bottlenecks of the previous this is why Sony said EFF THE PS4 YALL WORK ON THE PS5... third party devs have the choice to do whatever, but Sony internal teams will NOT be supplying games to work on the PS4 because it will not translate as a true next gen game because the technology on the PS4 will bottleneck the ability to squeeze everything they can out of the console.

[-Foxtrot]

So the Banished, have they been in the MAIN Halo games before (not Halo Wars)? I don't remember seeing them in Halo 4 and especially Halo 5. He mentions them and I'm like "did I miss something?".

Least the game looks more like the originals in places, just missing Cortana giving you advice as you shoot your way to victory.

[Sciurus_vulgaris]

The Banished were the main antagonist of Halo Wars 2. Hopefully, the created and Promethean forces lead by Cortana haven’t just been swept under the rug to appease people who want nostalgic enemies.

Some people are saying the Halo Infinite gameplay was pre-alpha. It maybe that the game is heavily stylized, but graphics didn’t look as good as Gears of War 5 for example. My stream was terrible though, as it was chugging and stuttering.

[kayoss]

i know Bungie made Halo, but this gameplay sure looks very very similar to Destiny. Even some of the enemies (which is not a bad thing).

[Rude-ro]

Looks like the original halos but with makeup

[BillyG0AT]

They obviously lied when they said the XB One won't hold Halo: Infinite back.

[Pancit_Canton]

Halo Infinite looks like a last gen game. Very dated. Yawn.

[Traecy]

It did. It didn't look AAA it looked cheap.

[Hawk198666]

Streams are a right mess. Couldn't watch the main one with them 2 talking, completely ruins it.

[yomfweeee]

What a dud to start with. That is why Sony leaves last gen behind.

Another State of Decay, only been 2 years.

Another Forza.

[-Foxtrot]

I thought State of Decay was a brand new open world isolated horror/ survival game at first

[aconnellan]

I'm hoping that's the route they take it, with some elements borrowed from SoD 2 (base building/management stuff).

I didn't mind SoD 2, but I'd really prefer something more story driven, which is the vibe I'm getting from that trailer. Here's hoping

[NeoGamer232]

I am disappointed with both overall.

1) Very little specific ship dates
2) Not a lot of actual gameplay

It seems Sony and MS are playing cat and mouse right now. Neither willing to spill the beans and show their cards fully. I will buy neither console until I see the ACTUAL LAUNCH GAME LINEUP.

Both companies it is all fine and dandy to show future games, but I am not the type that is going to be hyped for the next three years waiting for title A to come out. I want to know what they are delivering and in both cases what they are delivering outside the hardware is very vague.

[Minute Man 721]

Sony did the same thing 1 game play R&C and the rest trailers but the praises. Need to watch again but not on my phone

[Petebloodyonion]

I agree with you that I'm bit tired of trailer with no Gameplay.
Sure it's nice to be wowed by some special intro but at the end of the day I don't play with a trailer.

On the plus side they showed a lot of the Medium in the after-show and it does show the power of the console with the 2 simultaneous worlds.

[elazz]

@minute MAM 721

Why are you lying?

GT7, Ratchet and Clank, Sackboy, Astro Bot, Kenya, little devil inside, deathloop, ghostwire and that housemarque shooter were gameplay. Beside that you had some great in engine reveals.

[ChristopherJack]

There was only 2 years each between Uncharted 1, 2 & 3.

[Sherif129]

Don’t think it’s fair to compare the game industry to how it was last gen (and so, more than 10 years ago). Sequels should take a lot longer now to develop now and done with care. How about comparing the number of years between TLOU and TLOU2? Or Uncharted 3 and Uncharted 4?

[ChristopherJack]

Why are you dictating how studios should work? Besides, it's already been over 2 years since SoD2 was released & 3 is unlikely to launch this year anyways, it was merely announced so it's much more likely to be 3 years by then.

There's also the fact that neither of literally know a damn thing about their developmental cycle, they may have begun development well before 2 was released(not every aspect of a game is started on & finished parallel to each other, QA for example has to wait for content to be made to even begin testing).

Either way, I don't care so long as the game is good, like the last few Assassin's Creeds (imo- not that it needs to be stated but so many here consider themselves the authority on objective quality despite being the most subjective fanboys possible)

[OzzY-waZZy]

Kick off the show with your flagship game looking last gen. "Most powerful console" my ass.

[JCOLE13195]

......That’s because It’s a cross gen game.

[Khlydo]

Ah is that their excuse now? 😂

[JCOLE13195]

@Zeo Well, it makes sense doesn’t it? Cross gen, and has to run at 60 FPS.

[_dangerclose_]

People said that wouldn't matter.

[JCOLE13195]

@danger and they were wrong. Anyone with a right mind would agree that the Xbox One will hold back the Series X. You can just tell by looking at Halo. The graphics didn’t impress me.

[SoulWarrior]

But I thought everything could just scale? Goalposts moved again.

[JCOLE13195]

@Soul Putting words in my mouth. Never have I agreed with that crap. I’ve always shown disappointment with Microsoft’s decision to make their first party games cross-gen, and with Halo you can see why. Visually, it didn’t wow me. I’m no fanboy, you can take a look at my comment history.

People are disagreeing with me but the fact is that if Halo were make from the ground up exclusively for Series X, it would look a lot better.

[rainslacker]

It was a current gen game, that they're releasing with the XSX. It was designed as a current gen game and they didnt redesign it to become cross gen.

Some people have tried to make it into 2hat next gen would be, but neglected it's original scope.

It's not technically being held back by current gen, it's just not made for next gen.

[sprinterboy]

I seriously thought it was a remake, MS are in trouble when last gen games like tlou pt2 and GoT look better than a console potentially being £500 claiming to be the most powerful? Like wtf were MS thinking?

[343_Guilty_Spark]

Halo looks beautiful
State of Decay 3 was not expecting it to look that good
Forza ....holy shit that's gorgeous

[Nekroo91]

You're ridiculous...this is exactly how you spot a fanboy.

Halo looked great for a 360 game and everyone knew this game was going to happen. You can't just turn on an off things like AI and physics. Games will always feel last gen while MS continues to support cross gen for the next 2 years.

State of Decay was a cinematic trailer. MS didn't even bother to show Hellblade gameplay after all that hype

[PyroMessiah86]

360 game? Sorry but THAT is how you spot a fanboy. Playstation fans in this thread downvoting any positive comment. It was to expected on n4g.

[SierraGuy]

Yes the Hellblade thing surprised me too.

They should be pushing Hellblade much harder considering it's the best looking game they got.

[tontontam0]

Halo Looks like a remastered 360 game @4k60, the textures on that talking alien looks so flat. talking animation looks 2D.

[Unspoken]

Lol, talk about the pot calling the kettle black. Even Digital Foundry has already spoken about Halos engine being much improved. Funny how PC ends up supporting multiple gens and still looks the best all while trashing Sony's console. There goes your argument! Bye Felicia!

[KyRo]

Sorry to piss on your chips but that weren't in game lol. Nearly every single game they've shown has started off with some CGI like video that then cuts to the gameplay (State of Decay didn't show any gameplay). I think it's working against them right now. The games look good but when showing CGI before hand it's going to look inferior lol.

[Elda]

Really?

[xenz]

Halo looks beautiful... are you sure?? https://youtu.be/f_PFe8C0v8...

[mrsolidsteel20]

Everwild looks interesting.

[FunAndGun]

Same here, first game to make me consider Xbox during this presentation. It looks beautiful.

[Ready4nxtgen]

This showcase is so trash. Nothing new, no.pricing. same old blah blah blah,halo, forza, same old xbox trash smh

[BillyG0AT]

>gameplay only
They've shown one bit of Halo gameplay and three trailers so far

[MikePWV]

BORING

[Moe-Gunz]

This is not a good start at all

[Imalwaysright]

Everwild is the most beautiful game I've ever seen.

[pwnmaster3000]

It does have a good art direction, idk if it’s the best looking game.

[Imalwaysright]

Games like Ori, Cuphead and Rayman Legends to me are the best looking games. I'll take a gorgeus art style over tech/realism any day of the week.

[FunAndGun]

Just commented on that. I agree, the art direction is superb.

[RazzerRedux]

It definitely packs a huge punch in the style and art department.

[AizenSosuke]

Whelp I hear disappoint but I could be wrong there.

[Unspoken]

Only from those who already came in disappointed, aka the delusionals.

[AizenSosuke]

After the show I felt that Microsoft really gave up being a hardware provider turning into a software provider.

[LoveSpuds]

Except they are providing other peoples software, they basically contribute as little as possible to help build and progress the medium themselves.

[talocaca]

Halo looked extremely mediocre 😅

Tons of pop-in, shadow glitches and nothing particularly next-gen.

[Charal]

Boring as hell. Halo gameplay was bland, and from since it is 100% cinematic trailers.
WTF?

[CR7JUVE1897]

I really hope they hit it out of the park in this last half hour, because there hasn't been anything to make me look forward to Series X only titles. With the exception of Forza 8, but that was just a trailer

[Chunky007]

Wow its so dull so far

[Pancit_Canton]

RIP Xbox Series X. Holy ****, their games showcase all looks horrible

[yomfweeee]

Didn't they promise a bunch of game play?

[Hawk198666]

Sony will be laughing watching this. This is almost as bad as the last Xbox event.

[THC CELL]

Halo looks meh
Popping grass
Same animations then forever I've known
Better gfx bigger world's

Over all same game better gfx and wtf are they spending 500 million on

[russo121]

Don't understand the popping, I thought xsx will come with an SSD? Joking apart, it was more of the same last show. IMO it's sad because they try their best but falls short.

[mrsolidsteel20]

It’s like they’re not trying.

[JCOLE13195]

I’m really hoping they show more gameplay as promised. So far we’ve only had one game show gameplay..

[russo121]

This is the second one, please stop damage control.

[CR7JUVE1897]

Ok. Here we go. Hellblade 2.

Please for the love of god, show same GAMEPLAY.

[Moe-Gunz]

Haha haha 🤣

[yomfweeee]

Sorry bud. But you can watch a scouting location video.

[CR7JUVE1897]

What the hell, man. Honestly.

[I_am_Batman]

Not gonna lie. I'm pissed about that.

[Sunny_D]

Where is Obsidian at? How will he explain this? Lol

[SierraGuy]

When will they realize (on either side) ...all gamers care about is GAMEPLAY!!!!

[CR7JUVE1897]

Big difference here in that the trailer came out 7 months ago.

Nothing as far as gameplay in 7 months? Come on.

[I_am_Batman]

I agree. That is something most publishers should understand by now. If at least 60-80% of games show gameplay, I'm personally fine with some in-engine trailers filling out the show. But pre-rendered CGI trailers have no place in these shows, especially when they are supposed to make us excited for next-gen hardware.

[russo121]

I'm sure they're trying their best, but somehow they're not listening what was said in the first show.

[Chunky007]

Thanks Microsoft i was on the fence, ps5 for me now 👍

[chiefJohn117]

Halo looks amazing I told y'all it'll be open world

[pwnmaster3000]

To be fair I think the majority knew that.

[THC CELL]

We know but its meh I mean frigging meh

Bland same boring will be as bad as far cry repeat im sad I was going to get Xbox to play this. I can't cope

[_dangerclose_]

Looked like another Halo to me, far from amazing really.

[SierraGuy]

RIP open world Halo 💔

[starchild]

I think it looks fine considering it's open world, cross gen, and runs at 60fps.

[ecchiless]

no no, xgen cant be a excuse, everysingle educate xboxfanboi was saying that u can hit this one button and scale the game on every single device so no hold back.

[chiefJohn117]

Have no clue Wtf you guys talking about. Is equipment back or are those guns with equipment like abilities?

[potatoseal]

It looks like a current gen game. Halo looked really bad man. They never said it was open world. Current gen graphics also.

Hope you will have fun with that. Yikes.

[Oxen21]

Halo looks horrible, like a game from 2013... Pathetic.

[CR7JUVE1897]

Wait a minute.

No Gameplay on Hellblade? Is this a joke?

[Charal]

Wow, that’s all on Hellblade 2? Really?
No way they are flopping this show so much.

[SyntheticForm]

Agreed.

Quite the disappointment.

So far, I'm not at all impressed with this showing.

[Moe-Gunz]

We’re watching a music video now!

*Lebron James exit meme*

[CR7JUVE1897]

Still have another 25 minutes. Come on , Microsoft. Please.

[THC CELL]

Lol sad days eh.
Don't worry some stuff did look ok

[aconnellan]

Some surprises in there, and some good looking games, but really felt like there should have been more gameplay

[Parasidious]

Psychonauts most interesting thing they've showed so far.

[mrsolidsteel20]

MS can’t be serious?

[yomfweeee]

Hey all... at least you can play Destiny 2 on your phone am I right??

[Charal]

Destiny 2??? Is it me or they are relying inly in last gen games for SX launch?
What’s next, Fornite?

[Moe-Gunz]

Don’t you jinx this to get even worse.

[Moe-Gunz]

In 2020 we’re seeing a trailer for Destiny 2 at the tail end of their Showcase. They pissing me off now.

[ElementX]

This is pretty boring. Halo looked decent but I can't really tell on the stream. I was hoping for more game play, but I suppose a lot of games are going to be next-gen only which means they won't be out for a couple years and so maybe the games aren't really playable at this point. It is disappointing, though. At least I'll have Sony first party games.

[CR7JUVE1897]

Are these games coming up right now true consoles exclusives, or timed exclusives?

[yomfweeee]

Launch exclusive means timed in some way.

[Charal]

Timed

[ziggurcat]

console launch exclusive = timed exclusive.

[BillyG0AT]

STALKER 2 on Xbox? WHAT? I was preying for that but never expected it in a million years.

[dRanzer]

It will also come to ps5

[BillyG0AT]

Your point is?

[dRanzer]

My point is that you only mentioned xbox so I'm here to inform you that ps5 will also have this game,and probably going to sell more copies

[Petebloodyonion]

yep but it's also a gamepass title :)

[Charal]

Tetris!!!???? What??!!!??
Are they out of their minds to put this in the show?

[FunAndGun]

Damn, I’m actually a little bummed it’s an exclusive multiplayer mode for Xbox of the Tetris game on PSVR. Wanted a multiplayer component on PS, I sad.

[_dangerclose_]

Bugsnax isn't looking so bad no is it? lol.

[JCOLE13195]

Tetris..... Tetris? 🤦🏻‍♂️

[Skate-AK]

Well the Series X does look like two Tetris blocks.

[dietis_h]

annnd....microsoft continues with their bag of disappointments.

[Moe-Gunz]

We going to show you the power of the Series X by showing you...Tetris. 🤦🏽‍♂️

[I_am_Batman]

Medium here we go.

[monkey602]

Probably the 1 game I'm most interested in. It looks fantastic and I'm definitely clutching to the wording "console launch exclusive"

Hope I'll be playing this and Scorn elsewhere

[Hawk198666]

Tetris hahaha oh dear Xbox, this hilariously bad.

[yomfweeee]

At least we got some game play!

[gold_drake]

this game show is a bust haha but Tetris surprised me the most hahaha xD
another one bites the dust, and another one goes and another one goes xD

[PyroMessiah86]

At least get the lyrics right..

[gold_drake]

ah damn. well i would if i could edit my post xD so stingy ha.

[RazzerRedux]

Ok....let's end big. Initiative. Playground.

[Charal]

13mn left to hope to get something out of this wreckage.
And stil no gameplay since Halo.

Edit: some gameplay on the Medium, sounds interesting.

[Moe-Gunz]

Medium is interesting

[CR7JUVE1897]

If these are indeed timed exclusives, then wouldn't that mean that The Medium is a multiplatform title?

[Moe-Gunz]

As far as I know it’s exclusive, but that launch exclusive phrase have me questioning it.

[_dangerclose_]

Pretty sure anything tagged as "console launch exclusive" meas its multiplat, other wise why use that same tag for The Medium and a Sega game that's definitely going to be multiplatform.

[RazzerRedux]

Seems so. Same for CrossFireX.

[Petebloodyonion]

CrossfireX multiplayer is multiple platform.
the Single player mode is exclusive to Xbox. Microsoft paid Remedy to do it.

[Charal]

Sounds like

[potatoseal]

It's most likely coming to PS5 as well. Just another timed one,

[blanka4545]

go pc yeah!

[dRanzer]

Crossfire looks awesome

[mrsolidsteel20]

Please don't tell me that's it?!

[_dangerclose_]

That's it.

[Charal]

That’s it

[Atticus_finch]

Tetris looks next gen AF!

[RazzerRedux]

Here it is! Playground!

ok Fable....worst kept secret ever. lol....but still good to finally know for sure.

[pwnmaster3000]

I’m piss..,. that was it?

[ActualWhiteMan]

OMG ITS HAPPENING! FABLE 4

[Charal]

I didn’t see any 4

[potatoseal]

Looks like a Fable REBOOT. Which i think is a better idea for potentially new players like myself. If I end up buying a Xbox, which the jury is well and truly still out on that subject.

[Hawk198666]

EPIC FAIL!

[solideagle]

I am surprised a billion-dollar company did not learn from the past event. Everyone said more gameplay not more game trailers :O
Good luck to MS I guess :)

[starchild]

Nah, it wasn't up to the level of Sony's event, but it wasn't as bad as some of you are making it out to be. There's quite a few games I'm looking forward to that they showed here. I'll play them on PC, but that's not because I have anything against Xbox only that I'm a PC gamer and that's where I play mostly.

[Petebloodyonion]

NAH it's a terrible event they should have showed tons of Gamplay like Sony did.
Also showing Destiny 2 was stupid, honestly what kind of company announce in a show a remaster of a current gen game? Actually I wouldn't be surprised if they announce a remaster of a remaster like a Xbox360 game remade for the Xbox1 then serie X and they could include some perks like loot box each week till the release of the serie X game.
Honestly worst event ever!

At least Spider-man Miles is so looking next gen unlike that crappy Halo glad that Sony went with that opening statement!.

[Moe-Gunz]

Medium and Fable. That’s all that I got out of this.

[TeamIcoFan]

For me.
Medium.
STALKER 2.
And Everwild.

[PyroMessiah86]

For me:

Everwild
Grounded (the beta was awesome)
Halo Infinite
The Medium
STALKER 2

[Elda]

From what I've seen today there is still no reason for me to buy an XB console the showing of some games were just ok. A very lackluster showcase.

[Lexreborn2]

All this show did was tell me how I don’t need a series X.

[JCOLE13195]

While the Fable announcement was nice, I’m still disappointed in the show. Mostly, I was hoping for more gameplay.

[CR7JUVE1897]

Wow. That's it.

Literally nothing that made me want to go and get a Series X at launch. I may as well just keep my One X.

[DazaMc]

So fucking bland. Nothing that can’t be done on a one x.

[Stanjara]

Trash, omg...that was bad.

[potatoseal]

I mean Fable, ok, want to see more. But yeah, it was a lackluster show. HALO really does not look next-gen at all. Kind of cartoony in a way. It's official now, Sony are going to win next-gen by a mile.

But I still may end up buying my first Xbox as a 3rd consolel. Want to see more of Fable.

[TheTony316]

This was it? Mediocre at best. Sony showed better first party games.

[I_am_Batman]

Well that was disappointing. We're 4 months or so away from the release of these consoles. Why aren't they showing us more gameplay at this point? And why the hell do they still use prerendered trailers?

[russo121]

Ms is a bit lost and they don't know how to get out of the hole. It's urgent the need to replace xbox head management , yesterday was already too late.

[CDbiggen]

Not a single game I want in that whole showcase.

[jjb1981]

So basically they have Hellblade 2 and Fable. The rest look slightly above mediocre.

MS Games Showcase AKA Snoozefest 2020.

The best part is that I don't have to buy a Series X to play these games.

[CR7JUVE1897]

Someone please explain to me how this was better than Sony's showing.

[Elda]

This showcase didn't come for Sony's showcase in the slightest.

[averagejoe26]

It's not even close. Sony's showcase was mostly indie/smaller studios and it still blew Xbox's FIRST PARTY line up out of the water. Xbox's gaming division is a joke.

[Traecy]

Sony showed of several first party AAA titles including some AAA timed exclusives along with some indies.

[Minute Man 721]

They both barely showed any gameplay

[Atticus_finch]

Lol

[sero33]

sadly it wasnt. we really need someone to give sony some real competition.

[Charal]

Well, that was very bad in my opinion.
They only focus on gamepass, mainly old gen titles, and treat SX as a subsidiary.

I am still amazed how this was poor, especially with all high expectations.

[_dangerclose_]

Outside of Halo where was the gameplay?

[I_am_Batman]

Snippets in trailers, but nothing that would qualify as a gameplay demo imo.

[MatriXcian]

This entire showcase was disappointing I was expecting more.

[timotim]

I'm disappointed in this event. I didnt just want to see trailer after trailer. Other than Halo Infinite (which I need to see the 4K stream of), I saw no other gameplay demos...something we were very clear we wanted after their last event. I give this show a 6 out of 10.

[pwnmaster3000]

Yeah same, I had really high hopes for it. They really kept pushing the whole 60 FPS and gamepass, which is good but dude show some games.
I guess I’ll just go with plan be and build a PC (been my dream) and get game pass.

[Elda]

Very disappointing.

[potatoseal]

Halo looked like a current gen game in my opinion. Yeah disappointing show. BUT they still have more to show in the coming months ahead. Wanted some Fable gameplay

[russo121]

Like I said before in this thread, Xbox head management must be replaced immediately.

[EasilyTheBest]

Wow Gamepass is going to be the best value thing ever. Ridiculous value with even more to come later closer to launch...

[the worst]

I Definitely don't need to pick up a xbox

[yomfweeee]

Microsoft you let us all down with your previous presentation. This time you totally redee.... did the same thing.

[Dario_DC]

Holy crap this show was utter trash, how can Microsoft fail time and time again? At least it's all on game pass I guess

[majiebeast]

That was it a bunch of CGI trailers.

[derek]

Apparently they still haven't learned what "gameplay " means.

[averagejoe26]

Oof. That was pretty bad. PS5's event was mostly indie games and they not only showed actual gameplay but looked way more interesting than Xbox's FIRST PARTY line up. That's pretty embarassing.

[PixelKnot]

Good thing I went in with low expectations.

[Ratchet75]

Really good show but what a lackluster halo infinite demo.
If someone told me this was an xonex remake of halo1, I would have believe it.
The game did not look that great tbh.
The facial animations were terrible, the overall experience had an overwhelming sense of deja vue.
Best games of the show
Overwild from Rare, medium and Fable.
Well done Microsoft. 👏👏👏

[potatoseal]

It did not look like a next-gen game. Almost looked cartoony I thought

[_dangerclose_]

"Really good"?

*Everwild

[OzzY-waZZy]

I mean.. at least Fable is confirmed..

[JCOLE13195]

Sure wish we had some gameplay though... The only real good look at gameplay we got was Halo and that didn’t impress me really. Overall just disappointed.

[potatoseal]

I'm sure we'll see more Fable gameplay in the coming months leading up to launch. MS still have some more games up their sleeve I think

[sprinterboy]

R. I. P Xbox

[Morbid Bulldozer]

This. Was. Horrible. How clueless are they at MS? Almost no gameplay, no new AAA heavy-hitters, fvkin' Tetris?! Have some mercy...

"We know about the memes. We know about 'Halo, Forza, Gears'. This time it's different! This time it's Halo. And a Forza teaser. And no Gears. That's what you wanted, right?"

[cell989]

They are oblivious

[Futureshark]

I knew it would be a massive disappointment, hugely underwhelming.
I really wanted Halo Infinite to blow me away as the flagship title, but it was all just so...meh.
Nothing really screamed next gen, looked like a Combat Evolved Remaster to me.

[UnbreakableAlex]

Psychonauts <3

[Ristul]

Very impressive show, ms really crushed the ps5 show for me. I love the fact that a new Fable is on the way, and Obsidian was a smart purchase by ms. I did not expect two rpgs from them, hype is on!

[potatoseal]

* /s

HALO looked like a current gen game.

[Ristul]

It looked great to me, cant wait! 😁👍

[potatoseal]

Well looks like you'll be very happy next-gen. Lots of games to play man. I hope Halo turns out ot be great fun.

[Ristul]

Yes, lots of great gaming to be had for each platforms come next gen. I wish you the same my friend!

[_dangerclose_]

"ms really crushed the ps5 show for me", come on son.

[Ristul]

Guess I just prefer what MS showed, but everyone will have their preference. Not saying you are wrong if you prefered the ps5 show. Happy gaming!

[NXFather]

I am right there with you on that one. They held back maybe most of their AAA games though. And they should have shown way more gameplay. Halo also looked fun and smooth but, last gen graphics. But, for me also this show beat Sony easy.

[Ristul]

Indeed, it comes down to the type of games they showed off for me. Guess I just prefer their type of games to be honest. But yes, more gameplay would have been nice. Also, I was hoping for perfect dark, that would have been the icing on the cake.

[Stanjara]

Obsidian Gorgon is gonna be on Ps4.

[Ristul]

Cool, I hope it will do well on ps4. To me, Avowed and Outer World Gorgon looked like games that I will enjoy a lot.

[FlavorLav01]

What a bust! Barely any gameplay again. Lol

[Pancit_Canton]

So much for that 12 TF.

If I was Phil Spencer, I would give my 2 weeks notice and resignation.

[DaGR8JIBRALTAR]

shoulda been fired

[ABizzel1]

😂😂😂

Not 2 weeks notice 💀

[cell989]

Showing Tetris is the epitome of Microsoft’s gaming division mentality. Always trying to be edgy and cool in all the wrong manners

[thornh]

Total Sony fanboy here. Legitimately sad that MS cannot give their supporters more. I DO NOT understand how Phil Spencer can hype something up SO much knowing what is about to be shown is not going to be worthy of the hype. He is the ULTIMATE salesman. Personally wanted to see more of Hellblade.

[Koolaidude]

Did Phil hype it up or leakers?

[cell989]

Imagine hyping up this games show with thoughts of Tetris creeping in the back of your mind..... how does he sleep at night lol

[xetiro]

No one is left behind...

...Xbox Series X | Windows PC

[DnBSkillZ]

I will be getting both consoles when they launch as i love me some games in my free time but this event was weak compared to ps5's. Sony has another event in august i hope microsoft also has one later the competition needs to be there as it will make both companies work hard to please the consumers.

[derek]

I said Microsoft would dissapoint and that is what they did. Hopefully now the uninitiated will learn never to take Microsoft's hyperbolic statements seriously.

[jimbost79]

That was seriously underwhelming. Was genuinely hoping for 4 or 5 story driven single player games to compete with sonys 1st party's efforts, to make me want to get a series x alongside a ps5.

[DanielEndurance]

Ratchet & Clank > Everything Xbox showed today

[MatriXcian]

I agree, nothing in that showcase was impressive in the least. Even their flagship title Halo looked underwhelming when compared to TLOU2 and GoT.

[Spicyram]

Let alone Miles morales, let alone horizon forbidden west, let alone demon souls remake.

[pwnmaster3000]

Ps360owner09

No excuses. People said it will have both graphical and FPS.
Now I see all these excuses.
“Well the streaming didn’t do it justice”
Well same with Sony and everyone down played them still.

Plus miles morales can go 60 and most likely ghost and last of us 2 will be going 60 FPS once they go to ps5

[Koolaidude]

Miles Morales is glorified DLC, Horizon has no release date, and everyone played demons souls.

[SoulWarrior]

@ps360owner09, if you were paying attention insomniac tweeted the other day that there is a 4k+60fps mode in miles morales, so much for that eh.

[goldwyncq]

Bugsnax was more interesting than half of the games they showed.

[boing1]

Dude, DS controller alone has me more hyped than anything showcased today.

[DanielEndurance]

Lmao. True. 😂🤣

[Apex13]

The show was disappointing

[Limitedtimestruggle]

Wow...now this was one disappointing display. Just wow. Even Halo looks technically less stellar. I'm digging the gameplay vibes though..but I expected more. AND NO HELLBLADE 2 :( Now I know I will route all my money towards the PS5 at launch. Theres no debate about that.

[EazyC]

Sony must be grinning from ear to ear, that was rubbish

[DaGR8JIBRALTAR]

Pure unadulterated hot ass...

[JeffGUNZ]

This showcasing was the best I could have ever asked for. I know clearly now that I will only buy a PS5. Switching from Xbox to PC last summer was the best decision I made in terms of gaming. I can play everything on PC then the PS5 exclusives on my PS5. Thanks MS, I know watching this I won't waste my time even considering buying this console. Check my comment history for years, been a HUGE XBOX fan, but my god this is pathetic. Halo looks like a One X game and where the hell is the gameplay? Didn't Phil say we were going to see gameplay out the whazoo? What a bunch of bums.

[ABizzel1]

Same here.

I was a Nintendo with Sega as my secondary console.

Then with PS2 I was a PlayStation gamer with GameCube as my secondary console and Xbox being a distant 3rd.

Then PS360 were practically even for me, with 360 being my main early gen, and PS3 taking over the remainder of the gen. I got back into PC gaming, and eventually got rid of my Wii as it collected dust 🌝😏.

This generation I was PS4 gamer all gen, I had XBO and it got the Wii treatment after 1 - 2 years, the Wii U bombed, and so my PC became my secondary platform (Switch IMO is a handheld, and so I didn't add it here).

Going into next-gen Xbox just made it easy for me to continue with my PlayStation + PC setup, which I guess is fine in their opinion because they made it clear that GamePass is their focus and not hardware anymore.

[JeffGUNZ]

Yea agreed. I will keep my gamepass for PC and get a PS5, easy enough haha

[ZwVw]

Phil Spencer's done. Incredibly lackluster showcase. The schick of hyping up events and failing to deliver only to claim that you're holding back to show more at a later date (and even falling through on that end) has worn it's welcome.

They mentioned absolutely NOTHING about Series X/S price-point. The entire event was literally an advertisement for Xbox Game Pass/Ultimate.

Don't worry though. MS has much more to show and announce later this year.

[JEECE]

Interesting that they are bringing Fable back. It always surprised me how long they let that series stay dormant.

[Strange_Days]

What an absolute shitshow that was. I've got over 200 bought games on Xbox plus GPass ultimate. That horror show has determined that I'll just hang on to my one x. Half of that garbage looked last gen, never mind next gen. Such a disappointment.

[Master-Tonberry]

I'm definitely more of a Playstation fan but I fully expected to see some impressive things from this event, but man... I'm actually shocked at how poor of a showing that was. Even Halo Infinite, which I thought for sure would be a showstopper looked very underwhelming.

[leemo19]

So that happened.Yet again MS forgets what gameplay means. Halo was the only gameplay and that was just more Halo. I hope it was a pre-build because when seeing graphical problems like pop ins doesn't really help XSX for the hardware it is.
Everything else was just trailer, trailer, trailer. Don't worry a dlc for Tetris is coming so excited. If they thought this would convince some people to buy XSX they were very wrong. MS not understand in order to convince people to buy your new tech, you need to persuade them and only showing games that seem to be playable on XBone as-well doesn't convince them. You have Hellblade 2 anticipating game for XSX, but don't show anything new just check out our location program lol.
The conference was a C+/B-

[Koolaidude]

How much gameplay did the PlayStation event have?

[leemo19]

Sony never said it was going to be loads of game-play, it was to show off whats coming to the PS5, while also revealing the PS5 itself. MS on other hand was hyping the event saying game-play game-play and was no more than trailers with a 5 min Halo game-play, that doesn't really show XSX hardware capabilities just pop ins and visuals that look to be able to run on XBone. So hopefully its a old build cause Halo isn't the massive system seller it once was.
At-least with R&C game-play that was shown, it was showning off what the PS5 can do with example the SSD and zooming in and out of full scale levels dang near instantly.

[dietis_h]

more than microsofts showing.
btw, stay on topic.

[monkey602]

I can't understand it myself. They were ridiculed relentlessly only a few months ago for pulling that and decide to do it again instead of learn from the mistake

[Koolaidude]

Can you link Microsoft saying it would have loads of gameplay? They had the same exact amount of gameplay as the PlayStation event and are still getting criticized. PlayStation fans like Monkey and Dietis made up their minds way before the presentation. Both presentations were mediocre. I’ll be buying both at launch regardless.

[leemo19]

Jerret West, 3rd paragraph stated "A number of our studio teams are looking forward to sharing first looks at new gameplay."
https://www.theverge.com/20...
Clearly that didn't happen at all, it was Halo and that's pretty much it, that was running on a PC not XSX.
The Medium game put out game-play today, MS could've of put that in the conference.
Don't get me wrong, few of the games got me interested, but when your only couple months out most likely of your launch of your new console, you need to show game-play of games actual running on XSX, cause it what sells the console majority of the time.

[DaGR8JIBRALTAR]

Oh man...words can't even describe how much of a disappointment this showcase was? SMDH!

[Father__Merrin]

I'd have to disagree what ppl saying that wasn't good. It was a good show especially that skyrim type rpg and fable together with forza and halo etc. I will buy a lockhart to lay these but one thing...

ITS AN ABSOLUTE DISGRACE A PATHETIC DISGRACE that xbox are putting these day one on PC I will never support this and will come bite them very soon.

Xbox 360 made you proud to own one as all the exclusive games made you feel you have a special machine a feel good factor if you will this has now gone forever on xbox. Disgrace I hope this idea fails them and they return console only. PC doesn't need these games as we're always reminded they have csgo at 256fps and humble bundle indiegala and fanatical

But apart from that great games show.

[moriarty1889]

not a great show imo. Sony will steamroll Xbox again next gen.

[Traecy]

Horrible showing. No need to buy an XBSX.

[Good-Smurf]

That's what you get when you overhype your event and constantly bragging in unnecessary interviews.
I was coming in with low expectation and still disappointed.
What a boring show the only good thing it bring is that it might help me to sleep a bit.

[sampsonon]

Trash!!!

[hamburgerhill]

Much better show but there was a lack of gameplay once again. Still I left somewhat impressed but underwhelmed.

[mrsolidsteel20]

The show was lackluster at best. All of us was expected more from MS, especially seeing how Aaron and Phil kept saying they were going to be some 'mic drop' moments for today's event.

It's disappointing MS continuously keep doing this to their fanbase, but event after event, they keep proving to us that the either don't get the game industry or they don't care and after watching this event, I'm leaning more towards the latter.

But to be fair there was some titles that stood out to me:

1. Everwild
2. Crossfire
3. Psychonauts
4. Fable

Overall the show was average, a 5/10 (and that's being generous) if I missed a "mic drop" moment someone please let me know.

[Koolaidude]

When did they say that? I recall mic drop moments being rumored by leakers.

[mrsolidsteel20]

Maybe I’m mistaken, I could’ve sworn Aaron Greenberg mentioned that.

[SaveFerris]

I forgot this was on. What did I miss?

[Father__Merrin]

U missed a full 12TF computing power in action. Prepare yourself

[Minute Man 721]

Watching on my phone sucks, need to watch how it was meant to watch when I get home

[arminukxbox]

Seriously I don’t know in what theory they think they going to beat PlayStation 5 at launch god knows even Xbox one had better launch games than series x

[ziggurcat]

I called the new Halo as an open world FPS RPG style game a la Destiny sans raids, etc...

[goldwyncq]

Show would have been a lot better if they actually showed gameplay. The new Forza, Hellblade 2, Avowed, and the Fable reboot all looked promising but it’s a shame all we got are brief teasers.

[bangoskank]

Everwild looks awesome but my excitement stopped there. Medium looks cool but already knew of it. Not being biased. As a gamer I was rooting for MS and hoped to see some good looking games. Sony's presentation blew this away.

[WillyC009]

That.....was truly abysmal. Pretty much no gameplay, and what we saw of Halo looked like a Halo 3 remaster.

[Antnee534]

Fable and state of decay three are the only things that came from this making me want to buy an xbox. Halo looks like a bland space shooter I didn't expect much from 343 and they still disappointed me. I will still be buying the series x but nothing great will be at launch.

[Sunny_D]

Should have let the games do the talking instead of hyping it so much. Same ol MS. 🤦‍♂️

[RgR]

Trailers and no gameplay for 95% of the showcase.

Uninteresting titles or at least titles that failed to really blow minds.

Epic failure. I didn't even like Sony's show but damn this is worse.

Why they would drop the ball like this is beyond me. No price drop either?
I guess they must've dropped both their balls somewhere in the planning for this show.

Any excitement for trailers is plain childish. We have no clue what the game is based on the trailer. We get an idea of the genre but not actual idea of what to expect. The only way to get excited would have been through actual gameplay. But no luck.

[Father__Merrin]

Sorry I have to say this but I just watched the show again and Phil Spencer needs to be beaten with slippers.....

[dumahim]

There's a handful of games that interest me, but Forza not being out at launch has seriously dulled my enthusiasm to buy the Series X at launch.

[UltimateRacer]

Man that show was very mediocre.

[Hellcat2020]

Xbox managed to fuck it up again and even without that idiot Greenburg this time

[Thomaticus]

The enemies in Halo look so childish. It's like Doom Slayer vs Smurfs.

[boing1]

Sony nailed it with ramping up PS5 production. It's like they knew.

[chiefJohn117]

FABLE!!!! I was about to get sad then he goes heres one more thing. I instantly smiled cause I knew what it would be lmao. I wasn't able to check everything out cause I'm at work.

[Games1st]

So glad to have Fable back, Playground game's mission statement is to make genre defining games, can't wait. Why people downvote for expressing joy lol

[chiefJohn117]

Miserable fanboy hate to see someone else happy. I had to skip thru a bunch cause I was at work and I'm like Where TF is Fable? The leak I saw promised Fable!!!! I started to get sad lol. Then he go oh one more thing. 😁 Instant smile. God please I pray playground please get it right. Give us the fable we deserve. I really wish they take inspiration from anime. It would make Fable great.

[glopez]

I have to admit, that show sucked! Still getting the XsX but I was disappointed with the show.

[Vetalka83]

okay this was a waste of my time....

[Gamerking82]

Well so far from Xbox and Sony i have seen nothing that make me want to upgrade from my PS PRO and X1X for at least another few years so that saves me a bit.

[Locutus_of_borg]

A lot of mixed opinions on the various threads... I didn’t get me any more excited than I was expecting , nor did it disappoint anymore than what I was expecting , I guess the thing that I liked most was, as a game pass subscriber, I can download all of these games as part of my subscription... the way I see it is, I’ve just been shown glimpse of some of the games that I will be able to play without the need for a separate purchase, would I of paid real money for these games ? Probably not all of them... will I take them for for the price of my monthly subscription ... absolutely

[averagejoe26]

Opinions actually aren't very mixed. They are overwhelmingly negative.

[CrimsonWing69]

Well, I guess PS5 will be my primary console.

Medium and Crossfire X looked good, but I couldn't care any less for anything else they showed.

[The_Sage]

Timed exclusives.

[CrimsonWing69]

Wait both of those are timed exclusives!?

Well, geezus MS is gonna have another uphill battle next-gen.

[SamTheGamer]

Now Sony must be worried after this showcase. The gameplay at 4K 60fps, RT ON can make anyone scared of MS now. This is what exclusive game should be. Sony should learn.

[RazzerRedux]

Sarcasm? Yeah....gotta be sarcasm.

[SamTheGamer]

You got it 😄

[Jin_Sakai]

Sony should be shaking in their boots. /s

https://www.resetera.com/th...

[AmUnRa]

😂 That was class sarcasm

[Elda]

You've got to be joking??

[kayoss]

LMAO... That was pretty good.

[XabiDaChosenOne]

Not going to lie, I was laughing this entire show because it revealed how out of place Phil Spencers arrogance was leading into this show.

[Ninver]

Underwhelming to say the least. MS dropped the ball and Sony picked it up with no blockage in sight. After this turdcase Sony will once again dominate next gen with ps5. Mark my words. No pun intended.

[Benficaman]

for me the best game with gameplay was destiny, and thats sad. hallo seems so boring and so this gen. Ori look good and at 120fps, really nice. The rest if i remember was only trailers, and again not good. even hellbalde i was hopping for some gameplay, but nothing, i give this show a 5/10

[TheHateTheyGive]

Super let down, compulsive lying double talking phil failed yet again

[moriarty1889]

truth.

[Gameplayer1]

Oh.my Lord,Microsoft!!! You NEVER learn how to gather great teams that makes great looking games,now do you? This is embarrassing,but I'm not surprised at all. 30 games,1 that looked interesting.....This is what I'm talking about,Microsoft not being able to captivate players....so frekking sad...alright,let's play some Ghost Of Tsushima now.....

[Ashunderfire86]

that was trash lol!!!

[FernDiggidy]

Can't believe they removed the buttery smooth Thrusters...My life is in shambles. fuck

[ironmonkey]

Man this was not good

[ironmonkey]

Soooo this was suppose to be good?

[BlackTar187]

LOL POOR XBOX
always hyping to underwhelm the majority

[EasilyTheBest]

I am an Xbox fan & I loved the games that were shown. There was great variety & some amazing graphics.
The best thing is I can play virtually all these games day of release on Gamepass.
The value of Gamepass is unbelievable. The month I buy an Xbox Series X I won't know what to download first. If your only interested in just 4 of these games it'll cost you up to £200 to buy them on day one.
I can buy myself an Xbox Series X & just get Gamepass.
This is Microsofts strength, if Gamepass is advertised the right way there's going to be a lot of ppl buying an Xbox Console. They have over 10 million subscribers, this is sure to skyrocket once all these new games become available on it.
Plus X cloud for no extra cost, so I could play on my phone & continue on my Xbox.
Again, absolutely the best value Game Service anywhere. I have a lot of friends on PS4 & I'm supprised how many of them are thinking of switching later this year. Its mainly because of Gamepass..

[JesusBuiltmyHotrod]

You man all CGI? Awful show.

[jimbost79]

Are your ps4 owning friends nutters? Sony just dropped lou2 and Got at the end of the gen and then on ps5 there's gonna be sequels to some of the best ps4 games, gow, horizon etc. Plus mm, demons souls, r&c, plus there unannounced games. Their 1st party studios have delivered quality games time after time, and people are just going to switch consoles?
Surely the best ms can hope for is people will buy an xbox variant alongside a ps5?
You know Sony will deliver quality games, so if your friends are going to ditch them they must be mad!

[EasilyTheBest]

Yea mad, buy a £499 PS5 day one then another £200 for 4 new games to play or buy a more powerful Xbox console for £499 so nearly all 3rd parties will look better n then just pay monthly for gamepass and have every new 1st party game when they are released for no extra cash.
Do u guys ever think of it from other points of view? Gamepass is an absolute steal, my friends see this. Nutters? No, genuinely not blind fanboys.

[jimbost79]

Will I get every Sony 1st party game included in gamepass?
I don't think I will, will I?
The cost of a console or its games is unimportant to me, I just want to play the best quality games that I can get and sonys 1st party studios deliver that for me time and time again.
I honestly wanted that xbox game reveal to deliver games that would appeal to me, I wanted a reason to buy one, but they failed miserably.
Listen mate if your happy with what Microsoft are giving you then good luck to you, it doesn't affect me in the slightest. The only game that I knew of, that I wanted to see was hellblade 2 and all that was shown, was what was seen before, and a chance to look at the scenery of Iceland!
Gamepass is a great deal, you're right but the only game(s) on it I would like to play is ori, and to me its not worth getting a second console for 1 game. Also if I was insistent on playing 3rd party games at their best I'd go the pc route.

[EasilyTheBest]

So looking at every single game that is on Gamepass right now and all the new ones coming later this year day 1 with their physical release, the only game you want to play on all of Gamepass is Ori.
lololol
Thats not a gamer, that's ridiculous...
Talk about trying to play something down. Terrible come back..

[jimbost79]

There's some geat games on gamepass, and I've bought every single one of them on my ps4. The only ms 1st party game that I would like to play is ori, I've played halo gears forza when I owned an xbox one for 3 months, with gamepass, ori wasn't on there at the time.
And yes I'm telling you that is the only game I would like to play, I've bought over 400 games for my ps4, bought not rented for a monthly fee.

There isn't, and hasn't been revealed, or is currently out a game or games that would make me buy another xbox other than ori.

Like I said, if there's games on there your happy with then brilliant, it's a great deal for you.

Edit. Is ori even ms 1st party?

[EasilyTheBest]

Well buying 400 games that's an awful lot of money, can't you see that not money ppl can afford that so Gamepass is an absolute steal for them.
I use to buy new games in mass but found they dropped in value so quickly & I didn't game quite as much I found it wasn't gd for me.
When Gamepass came along I bought an Xbox One X just to get it. Forza Horizon 4 Gears 4 Ori plus a ton of others, I just found it incredible value. So for me it's the best thing ever.

[jimbost79]

Mate, it is great value, I'm not disputing that. All I'm saying is that that game reveal was seriously disappointing for me. With all the talk and articles of ms studios aquiring ex Sony 1st party devs, I was expecting some reveals that would boost my interest that's all, but there was nothing for me.
If you and others are happy with what was shown and are happy to rent your games on gamepass, then it's brilliant for you.
I my opinion, Sony are producing the best single player games you can get and Im happy to spend my money on them. Even If Sony released all their titles on ps now I still wouldn't use it, I would buy them outright. It's just a model I don't like. But like I said if you do like it then it's all good.

[Gameplayer1]

Man,please!!! It looked like a show from E3 2006...all generic shooters,you can't honestly be serious!! NOONE will change from playstation to xbox because of gamepass,your being disinlusional,lol!!
The only interesting game was The Medium,the rest was...well....Microsoft.

[Ghostbob]

the show had some good games I would give the show 6/10

[Petebloodyonion]

The hate for Microsoft on this forum is incredible that it's make me laugh how ppl want to hate them no matter what they do.
MS starts with Halo game play that looks more like doom now in a open world environment game looks like current gen graphics and PPL goes bouuuuuuuuuuuu worst thing ever, etc....

Sony Starts with a Spiderman DLC that seem to have the same PS4 graphics and they go YEAH must buy! Day 1, Sony owns!

MS show a bunch of trailer with no game play and no date:" this suck we want game play."
Sony show the same amount of trailer with no game play : "Man this is so freaking great I never heard of X game like Returned but its a future game of the year."

MS goes to show a new expansion for destiny 2 and we learned that they will release a smart delivery X version and gamepass available. " WTF get this old ass gen game out here"
Sony announce the remaster of the remaster of GTA5 with cash bonus until the 2021 edition come out. " ROCKSTAR and Sony baby yeahhhhh" (they never said free for current ps4 owner)

MS close the show with a quick teaser of a new Fable. "man they should have showed more it's gonna suck"
Sony close the show with a quick teaser of Horizon Forbidden West " Game of the year baby Ps5 all the way"

Honestly I love the Ps5 show Ratchet and Clank demo was the best thing and there was some good reveal that caught my eye. But I don't see how it was different to MS
Both had 1 extensive game-play session, a couple of 1st party reveal and 3rd party deal.
on MS Side: The medium and As Dusk Falls caught my attention.
Also it was nice for them to show games that are coming now since it's basically a recurrent complains on this forum that MS don't make game for Xbox1 and looking forward to play: Tell Me Why.

[EasilyTheBest]

You have just said exactly what my thoughts are...
The 6 unbiased ppl I seen on podcasts after the event said the Xbox event was better than Sonys.
On here you have no hope, its a cult..
Gamepass all the way for me, anyone would have difficulty knocking Gamepass..

[WillyC009]

The 6 ‘unbiased’ ppl you watched? Man that’s a deep pool to reference. I’m sure they’re unbiased......this comment truly is special. Well done.

[potatoseal]

But it really was garbage. It's the truth. MS once again, over-hyped and under-delivered.

[Petebloodyonion]

I'm not saying it's better or worse since each games speaks differently to ppl.
Sony scored points with a nice reveal of the console models and the gameplay of Ratchet and Clank since it was unexpected.
Ms on the other hand scored points by saying that all games on the event would be available to game pass owner meaning also the time exclusive's games. And I think that MS scored also some points by showing that games was still coming to Xbox1 this year.

But overall both had the same format with the same flaws.
Will I buy an Xbox serie X day 1 probably not and I won'y buy a Ps5 for Spiderman DLC ether (and it's not like I don't have a huge backlog of games to complete ....yeah right)

[Koolaidude]

PlayStation fans are like Apple fans dude. Both of them toxic and worship the company.

[FlavorLav01]

World wide fans of apple...but, they must not be known for amazing products. You funny

[yomfweeee]

Who asked for Halo Doom style? Regardless all people said about the game was the graphics were not impressive. This is the most important popular and most important franchise. It needs to stand out. That is why it is different than Spider-Man. Also Microsoft has been bragging and bragging and bragging about Halo Infinite being a powerhouse. Sony never said any such thing about Miles Morales.

Sony showed more game play.

I don't remember anyone boasting about GTAV on PS5. I think people made the exact same comments about it like really again for the third generation?

Microsoft showed literally nothing from Fable, a sword and a title. Sony showed a 3+ minute trailer of Horizon Zero Dawn. You're seriously acting like that was similar in any way?

[Petebloodyonion]

I agree with you that nobody asked for a Doom Halo or open world gameplay and I agree that the graphic are nothing spectacular but was Halo ever known for spectacular graphics in the 1st place? What it’s know is for tight gameplay.
Now I will agree with you that in no shape or form the trailer wants me to go out and grabs a Serie x.

Now regarding Spider-Man the same pressure was on Sony and they said countless time that it was PS5 showcase title.

For the rest I would like to go all title that showed gameplay for both consoles and you will arrived at similar number and remember that Ms already had a showing of 3rd party games before.

As for the rest both show had similar stinkers like Tetris, Destiny for MS and GTA5 / NBA2K for Sony.

Again I’m not saying that MS had a better or worse just pointing out that for similar paced and stile presentation MS ppl seem to really bash MS while praising MS.

[JesusBuiltmyHotrod]

Its MS job to sell their system, they fail at at over and over, this is on Ms not the "Fans", there is a reason outside of the US xbox is niche at this point. Awful showing and what happened to Halo?

[Petebloodyonion]

I agree that it’s Microsoft job to sell the Xbox brand, system, Gamepass or whatever.

My point is that I find it funny that the majority of ppl are praising the PS5 show saying that MS failed big time when they had similar pace and type of show.
Like I said I find them quite comparable.
For a Halo we have Spider-Man
For Gta5 we have Destiny2
For Tetris we have NBA 2k
Etc...

[Elda]

Spiderman:MM looked better than anything that was shown today.

[Petebloodyonion]

It’s your opinion! I don’t have to agree with it.

[Elda]

You sure don't but it did look better than anything shown today.

[JonTheGod]

Very underwhelming.

Huge pop-in at 7:06 on the Halo demo. Shameful for a cross gen title.

[ajax17]

Quite disappointing.

[Imortus_san]

Godd sow, and they keept a lot to show latter on another events, nice call.

[neomahi]

This has a strange sort of Sony Presentation Vibe. Even titling their event as Showcase and how they present isn't original, but is a ripoff of Sony. People, I think Sony acquired Microsoft.

[Yusi-D-Jordan]

I am truly shocked at how poor Halo Infinite looks. They should call this 'Pop-in: The game.'
It truly looks worse than most PS4 games. This looks so bad compared to Red Dead Redemption 2, Sekiro, Ghost of Tsushima, Uncharted 4, Death Stranding, The Last of Us 2 and Spider-Man.

Microsoft has failed a new generation of gamers. Xbox fans deserve better than this from a Halo game.

[waverider]

Where were the mic drop reveals? When the destiny trailer seems next gen and halo doesnt.... What Was Microsoft thinking? Where is the hype? I cant believe this. I really thought Microsoft would have learn something. It Was all big talk... Phil spencer told he wasnt worried after watching the ps5 event????? Because of this? Is there a single epic gameplay trailer? What the hell.

[djplonker]

Microsoft should really buy bungie and get them make the next halo game.

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

[georgenancy]

lol this show was asssss

[lonewolfjedi]

so the show was okayish halo looks like current get destiny

[JesusBuiltmyHotrod]

What an awful show wow, MS has no idea what it is doing.

[GreatSako2020]

The bad thing about this is that Sony can comfortably price PS5 @$600 without worry :)

[sero33]

thats what i was thinking about. competition is always a good thing. haven't seen any from Microsoft though.

[Minute Man 721]

$600???? Ok

[JesusBuiltmyHotrod]

I am shocked, I expected MS to come harder, What happened to Halo? This was MS most important show maybe ever, and Halo is their flagship, it looks rough. I am speechless, MS just is struggling bigtime.

[Parasyte]

I was hoping that MS would show some exclusive titles that would make me want to buy the Series X. While Halo Infinite looks fun, that wasn’t enough. Most of the titles from the studios they’ve acquired are most likely at least 2 years away from release. I was very disappointed.

[sero33]

that wasnt what i was expecting from microsoft. sonys showing was a lot more interesting to me. having said that i do have game pass so will gladly try out any of these games on my pc. the gunk looks like something i would enjoy. everything else was just kinda ok. lots of names of games but no real substance.

[Psychonaut85]

Everwild looked good. Lol

[ajax17]

Yeah, it was the only thing that stood out to me

[ocelot07]

Wow so just caught up medium look interesting. Halo looks awful as always. Forza is always nice. Stalker 2 is nice but I'll be getting that on pc or ps5. Fable I have never really been a big fan of but am open to this.

So this was suppose to be the show that made me want to but XSX? That was embarrassing imo.

[mkis007]

Gotta say fanboy's hyped it too much with all their "see you on the 23rd" talk. Didn't see any mic-drops or bombs.

[georgenancy]

'It will be a night of mic drops' lol...

[ThereGoThatManQ]

There was literal texture pop in on Halo

[bahabeast]

Looks good to me. I am hoping for that lower spec box maybe a digital. PlayStation is my primary console but I love games overall and games pass makes it near impossible for anyone who is a gamer to ignore.

[MEGANE]

I knew it, what ever they show has to work on the 7 year old console.... so yea!, everything was held back

[Nacho_Z]

Is it true that there was pop in during the Halo trailer? Interesting because I've seen a few comments about lights popping in during the GT trailer and as I understand it the new Halo is essentially an upgraded current gen game whereas GT is a full on next gen game.

Maybe the difference in power isn't as much as some have suggested...I never thought there'd be anything between them personally.

[Father Murder X]

Let's not forget the fact that everything that was shown could be played for 14.99 a month. This show was about Game Pass. Buy an Xbox Series X+Game Pass maybe the best deal ever. reminds me of the good ol days when the consoles came with a pack-in game. I had no idea that Halo was open world

[YourMommySpoils]

Well that was mediocre. Same old, same old trash, hahaha!

[1nsomniac]

What’s going on!? Did anybody else find it really weird that every single character model spanning across every single game appeared to look to be made out of clay... 1 or 2 would be an art direction decision but that just came across as weird as it seemed to span every game. What a massive downgrade for Halo Infinite.

Still, Stalker 2 stole the show. I know there was no gameplay but that is going to be immense.

[chiefJohn117]

N4g got waaay to many toxic PS fanboys, I'm off work and can review everything better. But coming here I see I got 6 down votes over getting hyped for Fable. You people are ridiculous. I knew y'all be here to downplay but really.....you guys that simple and petty

[sci4me]

i can agree there are a few as you call them fanboys here (on all sides) and sometimes the discussions get away from topic just for the sake of trolling it feels like but you shouldnt say to much chief beacuse i wouldnt call you exactly neutral and you have made quite a few comments i would call toxic or atleast made just to stir things up..

[chiefJohn117]

I've purposely returned a quote to troll trollers. I've never said something to troll a piece of plastic that did nothing to me. I troll iPhone tho lol. If a fanboy is pushing a narrative then suddenly things flip, yes I'll throw it in their face and beat it home. Just giving what they put out

[The_Sage]

Two wrongs don't make a right, John.

[YourMommySpoils]

A game with bugs and they had to stick in a Battletoads toy at 55.46. Now that's how you troll the world.

[Sprucegoose77]

Ok then. That was not impressive at all! Sony is just going to destroy MS all over again! Perhaps in a few years MS will shine with the XSX but that presentation is not going to get me on board for launch!

[Cmoney007]

Halo Infinite - I will wait for reviews.

State of Decay 3 - CGI trailer only!

New Forza - This was going to happen.

Everwild - Looks like an interesting game but no gameplay.

Tell Me Why- No gameplay and doesn't look interesting to me.

Ori - I always enjoy seeing anything from this game.

Outer Worlds Peril of Gorgon - I haven't played Outer World yet.

Grounded - No gameplay and not interested in Honey, I Shrunk the Kids game.

Avowed - I'm interested in hearing more about this game.

As Dusk Falls - Pass.

Hellblade - I haven't played any of the first game yet but heard good things.

PsychoNauts 2 - Never got into these games much. The song was cool though.

More Destiny 2 - Not surprised at all.

Stalker 2 - This could be really good, but I wish a bit of gameplay was shown.

Warhamer DarkTide - I will wait for reviews. It is better to flip a coin with a lot of these games.

Tetris Effect - I'm glad people are still having fun with these games.

The Gunk - Not feeling it much at all.

Medium - I still need to see more of this game.

PSO2 - I haven't played this game yet.

Crossfire X - I will wait for reviews.

Fable - I understand this game is still in very early development, but a tiny bit of gameplay would've been nice.

Second Xbox One event - 5/10

[Everythingnerdy39]

Microsoft never learn smh ,I expected much better,their 1st party ips I seen only 1 new announcement that ain't a sequel ,and there was alot of games with no gameplay ,at this point they still can't compete with Sony on their 1st party games period

[YourMommySpoils]

Best thing about the whole show was that xbox finally getsTetris Effect.

[MADGameR]

LMAO! This presentation was a joke. MS disappoints again.

[Cmoney007]

I haven't gotten into Outer Worlds yet. It will probably go on my list.

[Raziology]

I was really excited for this, but for some reason, I feel like Microsoft still doesn't get it. They don't get what players really want. Where are the Spiderman/ Ratchet & Clank/Uncharted/Bloodborne/Las t of Us/Horizon Zero Dawn/Persona 5 contenders? All we get is Halo this and Halo that, and Forza.

[moriarty1889]

they dont get it and never will. And sadly, under Phil, they dont care. All he cares about is getting subs for gamepass. thats it.

[Cmoney007]

We only have 15 minutes to edit on the site, and I need to fix my mistake because this wasn't an Xbox One event. Anyways, I still don't understand why MS can't show more gameplay.

Second Xbox event - 5/10
I can't go any higher than that because the lack of gameplay continues to be disappointing.

[PCgamer98]

Atleast after the xbox event I'm pretty certain now that there's really no reason for me to buy next gen consoles day one.

[anast]

Halo looked subpar considering it's a household franchise.

I wish that was State of Decay 3 game-play, if it looks like that then I might have to start thinking about upgrading my PC.

Overall this showing was disappointing. It seems like the same 'ol MS. There are some alright titles, but nothing to write home about. Not very much game-play and just a lot of Halo, Forza and game pass.

[Relientk77]

Why did none of these games look next-gen at all? I mean yes graphics are not everything but holy crap. Underwhelming

[Hakuoro]

Ya know, after Sony showed the PS5 Phil said " i feel good after seeing their console"

I bet Sony is saying "I feel good after seeing their games"

[drunkenspy007]

Avowed looks like it could have potential.

[brando008]

Good to know I can stick with PS5 and play both Fable and Hellblade on PC :)

[Sophisticated_Chap]

The comment sections in a lot of these Xbox articles, look a lot like the comments immediately following a Donald Trump tweet, with communist Chinese bots waiting for the immediate seconds after the tweet has been made, in order to post their negative and insulting comments. Utterly pathetic.

[AmUnRa]

What?? I think you are pathetic making this comparison, its ridicoulus.

[LucidIllusion]

About what I expected it to be, vapid.

[46player]

Lacking in AAA first party games. Halo Infinite (do I really need another Halo) and Forza which looks to be early in development. That said, I’m certain it will be a great console, especially with the focus on backwards compatibility.

Basically a juiced up Xbox Series X.

I bought Xbox One day one, not this time. Playing on Xbox One X currently and it’s definitely best to wait 1-2 years.

[Brazz]

such weak show...

[zarbor]

What a disaster. Yup, gotta say, I called it.....Phil Spencer, big on talk, overpromises and HUGELY underdelivers. Another defining moment in XBOX history.....and its another stinker. Every launch a huge misstep. Hope folks didn't get their expectations up.....sad day for you if you did, if your honest. There was not one thing that screamed next-gen. Not one.

[Profchaos]

I actually honestly went in with an open mind I own an Xbox one also so I still get to Play all of these games minus Forza and fable and there was some ok showings sprinkled throughout even some games that might be good when finished.

But I wasn't impressed by all that much certainly nothing worth running out and buying day 1 I'll be playing some of the games on gamepass absolutely but I just get the feeling of rushed to market games with less care put in simply because they will be on gamepass. The 360 era ms is dead this is a new chapter and it's very pro consumer but when the quality isn't as high as it's competition it's a tough sell

[StormSnooper]

A little underwhelmed. I expected them to come out big, but it’s really more of the same.

[moriarty1889]

its all about gamepass with Phil.......NOTHING else.

[46player]

Corporate calls it recurring digital revenue. Digital product steady/predictable revenue stream.

[u-bEttA-rUn]

I just worked a 12-hour shift forgot this event was even happening.... not a Xbox fan but I watch every event in the hopes to find something interesting or exciting... I believe I found two that have my attention... I am extremely tired of being disappointed so I can only imagine how y'all feel...

[gauonlinecv]

Hay quá

[ravens52]

Meeeh

[Psychotica]

Yeah I think I will just get a PS5 and use my gaming PC for everything else..

[thornh]

Do you know what the biggest issue is for Sony fans like me with the poor MS show yesterday? The PS5 price. Why you ask? Had MS come out with a really great showing the only thing that really hasn't been discussed at all is system price. Both MS and Sony probably have a narrow price point range right now and they're waiting until the last possible second to make the final pricing decision based on what the other has shown. No offense to MS and their fans but Sony has a pretty clear advantage on all fronts so far. They will grow more confident each day and be more confident that they will be able to sell at a higher cost and cut some of their loses. MS may very well have to undercut Sony by a substantial margin to stay competitive early in this generation. I think Sony is smart enough not to let that happen but they also know they are going to sell out even if they are $100 more expensive than MS at this point.

[pitythefool]

The reason this show is getting so much negativity isn’t because people simply love hating MS for no reason.

It’s because this is their 2nd bite at the apple where they hyped a show to wow us all with nothing but gameplay and then didn’t do it.

The Sony show didn’t exactly show nothing but gameplay either, but here’s the thing, they never claimed they were going to.

Can some people really not see the difference.

[TechnoGoat]

It was trash don't waste your time.

[Agent75]

Watched it from start to finish, it just didn't have the WOW factor. I'll be holding out for a PS5 at launch, although I still think the Xbox Series X will launch at a higher price. The only Microsoft console I supported was the Xbox 360, which has never been bettered. It's early days, but I think the PS5 will batter Xbox One Series X, more so when VR2 launches. The Xbox One Series X feels like it's going to play second fiddle. It just didn't do anything for me.
