I think it entirely depends on whether the deal goes through before or after D4 is out.

all those devs they bought a while ago and we have barely seen anything that they're working on. almost bought a series x because of halo but that game is in a sad state right now. was hopeful that at least they'd show something today that would give me a reason to buy an xbox but fuck it lol, will wait another year i guess.

Sad thing is Diablo 4 may not even come out in 2023 (or at least on consoles) and Starfield will likely be delayed again to late 2023. So.......from fall 2021 until fall 2023 they may be zero first party AAA games.

I think all of MS and Xbox management are high or flat out on perpetual vacation because they really have no clue.

Specific takeaways:
- D4 looked great, Necro should be fun.
- Starfield looks cool, but the combat itself looks very poor, I think I'm just kind of done with Bethesda... but I can see why people would be really excited about it, it doesn't really move the needle for me.
- Scorn looks cool, that's exclusive right? I would not mind playing that.
- I thought the Sea of Thieves expansion/update looked like a lot of fun.
- Some of the other non-AAA stuff like the Limbo creator game, Benedict Fox, As Dusk Falls, all looked very cool. Will get these on PC, for sure.
- A few of the cinematic adventure games looked ok, tough to tell without getting more story/character.
Not enough to dip a toe in for me. If Indiana Jones is console exclusive and ends up looking good, and Fable ends up looking good, that's when I'll be more interesting. Waiting game until then, or something else surprises me, as far as I'm concerned.

Honestly, I was really disappointed.
I know I need to keep my expectations in check, given they are only showing stuff that will be ready in the next 12 months but honestly other than Starfield it was a letdown.
I think the only games apart from Starfield I want are, High on Life, Redfall, and Forza.

He is hack anyway. Every time I see him playing games he looks like someone who never hold gamepad in hands. His Metroid rant was even funnier than his usual shit. Professional game developer my ass.

I only just started watching it. I'll rate afterward.
So far, Redfalls looks like absolute shit. Is this supposed to be a good first party showing? I thought Arkane was supposed to be a good studio?

For me and the games I want to play, an 8, but the pace was pretty great: game after game for 90 minutes with little filler.
Starfield looks a lot better than I feared too. More Fallout than ES, to be sure, but gameplay wise it's almost what I was hoping destiny would be (minus the boring resource collection). I like the lego ships a lot, though it remains to be seen whether changes will be more than cosmetic. I'd love a little more depth there.
All in all, the best show MS has had in recent memory, IMO.

microsoft have the same problems they have had for years. sparse game lineup. 2022 is just bad. theres no defending it. even a fanboy has no defence for the lack of 1st party games this year.

'most anticipated', thats a good one.
Forza was nexg gen only, Starfield was, Scorn was, Flight Sim was, ynd so on.
And as you already know, this was games comning in the next 12 months, so those games you are 'most anticipated' for, obviously are not coming in the next 12 months.

That's the face of a man asking for help.I saw a picture of Phil Spencer with Aaron Greenberg and Phil looks like he’s in physical pain. I bet he can’t wait for retirement.

I'm honestly quite interested to see what the new 'meme' will be when we get into the second half of the gen and Xbox game are flowing out like fine wine.
They are releasing too many games, they dont know what they are doing!!!?

Oh okay, thanks for clarifying that these games will probably be no-shows for the next few years like they already have...that makes it acceptable or something?
Starfield is fine, one game alone does not make a good show

What time is it?
A gave it a 9. The lineup is diverse and even the stuff I'm not terribly excited for will end up on Game Pass so that is a win. My favorite things showed were:
-Silk Song
-Flight Sim: Helicopters and Gliders
-Diablo IV (even if I'm not sure about some of the direction the game is taking)
-Wolong
-Persona
Biggest Miss:
-Left 4 Vampires
Still not excited:
-Starfield: Sort of looks like Fallout had a baby with No Man's Sky and I generally mistrust Bethesda as I've enjoyed their games less and less since Morrowind.

Do you want to include timed exclusives in that list ?
Because otherwise, Redfall, Grounded, Sea of thieves, Starfield, Forza and penta(I don't remember the name).
Edit: Oh I think I forgot a Kojima cloud game(no name or any other info)

Well i mean all their 30+ studios, many of them that will have mutiple teams working on multiple games, are obviously just sat around the office playing Candy Crush. No 'real' games are actually coming.
And i was being serious too, i'm genuinely interested to see what the new 'angle' will be in regards to Xbox, when the games start flowing.

I'm actually on top of the world today. Starfield blew me away, and has actually ignited a bit of passion in me for games in general. Something that was going a bit over the last couple of years.
My imagination hasnt been flowing like this in a long time, in regards to a game.

There was a severe lack of diversity. The show lacked a happy go lucky adventure game or platformer. Just something with fantastic production value and an upbeat tone like Kena or Sackboy. A lot of shooters and then the stuff that wasn’t a shooter was still adult in tone like Forza, Flight Sim or Diablo.
On first viewing I thought Ravenlok looked like a game that could fill the void but upon rewatching the trailer it looks a bit The Gunk-esque IMO. A bit too janky for my taste. But we’ll see. There was Minecraft as well, but I think you have to be in to Minecraft to appreciate the spin offs.

It was a bit disappointing. The only game that really excited me was Diablo IV. Starfield looks decent but hard for it to live up to the hype people have given it, basically looks like Fallout in space, which is fine for me, I'll definitely play it day 1.
Unfortunately this was largely a Gamepass trailer, and highlights the future of these services, very few AAA standalone games, numerous GaaS updates to games we've been seeing for years and a lot of B-tier filler games. Don't get me wrong, Gamepass is still good value if you're happy to play what they serve you, you'll always have stuff to play, but as someone who is now having to start paying £10+ a month for it and already has a massive backlog of games on all platforms, this show has made me think that I'll just pause my sub now until mid 2023 and then sub for a couple of months to play through Starfield and some Indies
(If anyone knows of a way to get £3 a month GO sub still let me know as I'll keep it going for FH5)

He's accomplished more in his life than you ever will.
He's also honest about his losses when it comes to life, his work ect, when he's wrong about something. But when it comes to games and the impact quality big games have for a platform he's not wrong.
Stop deflecting because literally even GameonDaily and other Pro xbox podcasts like Rand AL thor are kind of bummed about what they just saw.
That was not a great showing. And nothing of note for 2022. Meaning for the whole year the only thing of note Microsoft has is shredders revenge day one, and DLC for Forza/Sea of thieves. Also where the fuck was halo?

If your sub expires you can still do the £1 top up with Gold. Gold is often £30-£40 on CD Keys.It was a bit disappointing. The only game that really excited me was Diablo IV.

On the new Forza Motorsport.
Is it just me or does it not look anywhere near as good as Forza Horizon 5? That one had immaculate environments. This one is...eh.

So what's that, buy a year's worth of gold and then pay £1 a month to top up to ultimate?

It moved quickly, showed gameplay and a lot of it was for game pass, which is all good, but unfortunately most games didn't wow me that much including Starfield. But this I knew cause I am no Bethesda rpg fan.
Solid 6/10. Kojima trailer would have brought the score to 7, but he showed jack and shit.
