Congrats to Microsoft for the worst E3 conference ever, what is the point of showing another CGI trailers with no gameplay to games that were announced last year with also a CGI trailer with no gameplay, this conference should have been cancelled, Sony was right.

Lol, Sony's talk show was the worst conference by far.

 

[Quixz]

Not bad 7/10

 

[Danjin44]

Tales of Arise and Elden Ring only exciting things from entire the conference for me.

 

[DanielsM]

Not to rag on Microsoft but the opening talk of the console did not fill me confidence. He said "we built a console for gaming"

then the first sentence was "it's not just about a new console, pc or mobile, it's about more than that" erm, it shouldn't be. That fat smiling idiiot in the jacket just said you know what I want?

Then it was Xcloud, connectivity, gaming where I want when I want...

So, you DIDN'T hear what we said? We want a powerful console and good games. You delivered neither

Now, again, you're trying to tell us what we want.

I'll buy your amazing elite 2, but i'll skip your console for the first few years, again.

Yours to lose Sony. Hopefully there isn't a 5th console curse

Its double talk for.... we're going cloud services but we can't say that because our existing customers will ditch us.

Capcom Dev Division 1 actually teased Dino Crisis back in Dec 2017 on their official twitter account.
They said that they might bring it back, if there was considerable demand for the Dino Crisis series.

Where was COD?

Sony Marketing Deal.

That conference was dire. Surprised at the lack of 3rd games, I expected some Ubi games to be shown as normally Ubi games are shown at Sony and Ubi's own Conference.

Mostly CGI trailers, your standard Forza, Gears, Horizon, most not even showing gameplay.

Glad this wasn't on at 2am in the UK.

 

[J-Roderton]

At least Games Pass is kicking ass.

 

[Nkcell]

There was nothing about the Halo trailer that looked next-gen. If they had shown it without the Scarlet reveal I would have simply though it was a standard good graphics game from this generation. Not the way you want to hype your new console reveal.

 

[Deputy Moonman]

Yeah, i don't think i’m down with super realistic violence. Maybe this is the gen where i get off the console gaming train.

Yeah cyberpunk doesnt look like my thing.

Besides Keanu this was mostly mediocore.

Lol he was the best part of the show. I really liked the new Minecraft game. 12 hours looked intriguing and that game with the deer walking around.

 

[McCheese]

No fable, Halo looked janky even compared to late current-gen stuff.

Gears, Lego, Cutstie indy stuff...

Really disappointing, I wanted to see hardware and still have no idea what next-gen will look like (hopefully better than that Halo).

 

[ResilientBanana]

looks like Next E3 will be the one then.

 

[Shin]

Insanely underwhelming.

That's all there needs to be said, this was just plain bad.

 

[Torrent of Pork]

I liked it, very little non-game bullshit, and just game after game.

Also Game Pass is continuing to be the best deal in gaming, period.

 

[Gamernyc78]

OK and this is with all honesty.

Show was maybe a c/c+. It's like most of us stated it would be filled with multiplats and if the money they are spending is in the caliber of exclusives they showed they can keep them smfh. They just can't fight Sony in the exclusive IP front, not by alot.

Highlight of the show for me was Phantasy Star Online and controller. The console unveiling was basically a Sony wire unveil onstage. Sony was smart in killing that hype because it's obvious they will be very similar. Don't be surprised if Sony hardware is stronger or if they are near parity in power.

The show did nothing for me and if anything it just made me say fuck it just get PS5 at launch and wait on nextbox.

Please don't get bent out of shape by my opinion, it's just how I feel. I respect anyone that felt the show was good but I didnt see it.

Wtf was my fable man!!!!

Microsoft E3:

1 hour of games

30 minutes of xCloud and new console, and Halo.

Did anyone ever find the missing 30 minutes? Did someone sent the police report to @EviLore? We need to find where the missing 30 minutes went

Did Microsoft feel bad Google Stadia conference ended early and did the same out of sympathy?

IDK, You should make a poll about it

 

[{insert code here}]

RIP E3.

 

[Ivellios]

I actually liked the presentation, non stop showing of a variety of games

 

[Shangounchained]

I pitty people who bought Xbox one especially X and Xbox department as a whole I mean you buy a console 500$ to play Lego forza and battletoads n mixrosoft! Why fucking make a 6 teraflop waste of a machine to play casual games, at this point I figured it's better to get a pc than Xbox because you can play the same games and even better you can do much more honestly there was no point for Microsoft to build machine they should have sticked to windows and software Xbox should have been an app, it's ridiculous

 

[TTOOLL]

What a letdown, holy shit.

Keanu and Flight Simulator were the highlights.

 

[Bl@de]

Flight Simulator looks fantastic

 

[Armorian]

Now we're going to see a lot of

Your kidding yourself if you think Sony's going to match MS. MS was completely lost and they were able to make the difference a single res drop through redoing their os.

What are you talking about? Xb1S performance is shit in muliplatform games even with res drop.

PS5 and X4 will be pretty much identical, give or take ~1TF

 

[Bkdk]

This is one of the worst MS conference, how many of you watch this with kids and I doubt if they even like it, it's lego this and that and never stop. No fable 4 and AOE4 gameplay, show online mode trailer for gears 5, show close to nothing for halo infinite, even that cyberpunk 2077 release date reveal is poorly handled with keanu reeves out hyping up the game with 30 seconds of gameplay.

The only promising trailers: Flight simulator 4, phantasy star online 2 and tales of arise. Somewhat interested at blair witch, elden ring and 12 minutes, all other trailers are trainwrecks.

 

[Codes 208]

it wasnt their worst but it wasnt that great either.

I was really hoping for banjo and that godzilla game to be real

 

[sdrawkcab]

I thought this was supposed to be two hours?!?

It was very underwhelming; not enough AAA, not enough gameplay and certainly very lacklustre trailers.

I guess we wait for E3 2020? Meh.

 

[Geki-D]

So what exactly were these, 15 was it? MS studio games? I'm seeing mostly multiplats from overviews (Didn't watch most of it).

 

[Evilms]

No gameplay for gears 5, halo infinite ... bad choice.

 

[TGO]

No wonder Sony didn't show up
They didn't need to.

 

[CyberPanda]

E3 I’ve noticed in the last ten years has gotten worse. Now it’s just GameStop like trailers and videos. I think Ms, sony and Nintendo just need to stick to direct like reveals. It will save them
More money. It seems like E3 is just for glam purposes. E3 is turning into the Met Gala. If the gaming industry continues the way it does, I’m probably gonna quit gaming and travel instead with all the money I will save.

No lie my son is 12 walked out saying "Xbox is trash"

 

[Ogbert]

And we're now going to get 18 months of next gen hype where they tell us to look forward to 4k/8k at 120 fps.

I'll save you the suspense chaps.

Not going to happen.

 

[Clear]

Honest reaction: That was really, really poor.

It really was like a show from a decade or more ago with the amount of cg trailers.

 

[Ol'Scratch]

Sony chose wisely. They knew what they were and were not ready to show and probably saved a fortune.

 

[Starfield]

Lol at the dissapointed spoiled child's here

 

[Xaero Gravity]

This thread is starting to read like YouTube comments. Time to bounce.

 

[cryptoadam]

With Sony sitting it out this type of E3 just feels outdated. A Direct type thing would of been better. How many times do they say world premier.

But even though nothing blew me away, the simple fact of gamepass I would get and XBOX and if I went next gen I would seriously consider a scarlett, and I have owned PS3 and PS4. Gamepass is just too much value. I don't buy a lot of games they are like 90 CAD, so I could sub to gamepass a few months play a ton of games and then lapse for a few months.

 

[Javthusiast]

 

[demigod]

 

[Sqorin Hammerfarf]

I went in with no expectations and still left disappointed.

 

[Slings and Arrows]

Pretty solid conference for me, I saw everything I wanted to see. Lots of cool games coming to Game Pass, a new Game Pass model (including subscription for PC games) and some good surprises like Keanu Reeves in Cyberpunk, Blair Witch, Flight Simulator, Halo, Scarlett talk

One month of free Xbox Live Gold ultimate and 100 Microsoft points have been added to your account.

I hope you are genuinely excited for what you saw because you were really pushing how amazing some of the reveals were.

 

[FranXico]

And we're now going to get 18 months of next gen hype where they tell us to look forward to 4k/8k at 120 fps.

I'll save you the suspense chaps.

Not going to happen.

Yeah, but we're still optimistic about consistent 4K at 60fps.

 

[Aceofspades]

RIP Zen 3 Arctrus or whatever Intel Raytracing lol

 

[Hostile_18]

If you take out the multiplatform games there's really nothing exciting for me.

It sounds harsh but no Microsoft studio can compete with Naughty Dog, Sony Santa Monica, Sucker Punch, Kojima Productions, Insomniac etc.

 

[Gamernyc78]

So what exactly were these, 15 was it? MS studio games? I'm seeing mostly multiplats from overviews (Didn't watch most of it).

Some indie tyoe AA games trust me you missed nothing and the majority here called it based on Microsofts history.

 

[Javthusiast]

Ubisoft and Squeenix can only go up from here.

 

[MadAnon]

Flight Simulator looked more next-gen than that Halo tease.

 

[Shi11]

Enjoyed the conference. I like the stage format a lot more than sony's little videos.

No lie, I'm genuinely excited for what was shown

 

[Kittehkraken]

MS E3 2019 summed up in one image:

 

[FranXico]

It sounds harsh but no Microsoft studio can compete with Naughty Dog, Sony Santa Monica, Sucker Punch, Kojima Productions, Insomniac etc.

To be that good, it takes AGES.

Pun intended.

 

[LixhulHot]

Was hoping for more Xbox 3. Xbox One is a done console, let's move on.
