Arkane

 

[Ezquimacore]

typical, grabs you with something epic, disappoints for 1 hour, shows forza, halo and cinematic trailers with no gameplay and at the end shows a game that won't be ready for 3 years.

 

[Xaero Gravity]

Strange choice to close out the show, but I'm interested in it nonetheless. Overall, I really enjoyed the show for the most part. Forza Horizon 5 was my personal favourite game shown, looked absolutely fantastic and I love that series.

 

[Neff]

Fuck me that was awful

 

[skit_data]

Good show but having that game as a ”one more thing” left a sour taste.

But all in all: Best Xbox show in a long time

 

[AntonioBanderasXsX]

Meh no Midtown madness or Banjo gaming is not for the 30+ crowd

 

[McCheese]

A decent show, but I'm not buying an XBox for any of those games.

But if buy an Xbox you don't have to buy any of those games.

That's the pitch

 

[Dynasty8]

Fucking can't stand CGI trailers.

 

[thewire]

Forza horizon looked fantastic but other than that unfortunately Sony have nothing to worry about

 

[TheGodfather07]

too much trailers and not enough uncut ganmeplay.

 

[Ulysses 31]

Again with this banter and smart ass remarks during combat making things seem like a joke rather than people really fighting for their lives.

The STALKER trailer was a refreshing change of pace from that format above.

 

[Old Empire.]

Awesome show, lots of good stuff here

Scary to think MS hasn't even shown everything they have in production.

 

[Corpsepyre]

What is gameplay?

 

[Emedan]

They buy Bethesda for billions, and not glimpse of TES6 , Jesus!

 

[LordCBH]

Solid 8/10 for me. Needed Avowed to push it to a 9, but they didn’t show anything of avowed

 

[YukiOnna]

Don't care about Forza or cars much. But solid conference and majority of it on Game Pass so that's nice. I think they should have ended on halo.

 

[Punished Miku]

Didn't stick the landing at the end, but possibly Xbox's best show. 9.5/10 for me.

 

[Ceelic21]

Overall a so-so show. Really the highlight was STALKER. Everything else of note for me seemed to just be 2 minute clips (i.e. Starfield) or brief teasers like The Outer Worlds 2. Didn't much care for that last CG from Arkane. They did manage to really drive home the value of game pass though.

 

[FlyyGOD]

or… different than you.

Yup very Different.

 

[Md Ray]

Is the Flight Sim on Xbox Series X | S 60fps?

 

[Allforce]

Man I love CGI trailers with edgy characters. Keep em comin!

 

[Represent.]

STALKER 2 was the highlight. Will buy on my PS5. Another disappointing show from Microsoft.

I cant fucking believe they didnt show Halo single player again.. No Hellblade 2.

5/10

 

[ButchCat]

Disappointed in Arkane. I know that Immersive Sims are dead and they have to adapt to current trends but that was shit.

 

[SoraNoKuni]

That was such a bad conference, literally full of fps and co-op party shooters.

Such a shame, once again I was hoping for something good from the bottom of my heart.

Sony and Nintendo will be the market leaders for years to come.

 

[Ghost of Caelid]

8.5/10

hellblade II woulda put ito bet.

 

[Banjo64]

No FPS boost games announced and no acquisitions surprises me.

 

[phat_crazy]

GT isn't a system seller. Not anymore since the market is saturated with Top quality simulators now.

Forza being one.

Only exciting game for me in this how was Starfield and we got a 20fps trailer.

Halo Inifinite still looks average.

Mindshare. If this were Sony praises. MS average or trash. I am impartial because I want some competition this generation before Sony coverts back to shitty arrogant Sony. We already are seeing the signs.

 

[pratyush]

If this was supposed to make a statement kind of show for MS then it is far from it. It's decent but it was nothing special

 

[jdforge]

7/10 which is solid for MS.

Starfield was the highlight for me.

 

[Quantum253]

Pretty good show altogether. The first thing that's really felt like E3 of old lately.

 

[MScarpa]

A decent show, but I'm not buying an XBox for any of those games.

Lets not kid ourselves. You WON"T buy an Xbox ever. But hey do you my man.

 

[The Cartographer]

Another fucking ''just wait for the next E3'' event from Microsoft.
A decade of this shit, so unreal.

 

[Silent Viper]

Good show with good pacing, lot of exciting content for gamepass. - 8/10

Halo looked much better visually and im hoping it will be good

 

[odhiex]

Where is KOJIMAAAA!!? Hahaha lol

 

[wolywood]

Honestly the plague tale 2 reveal was the most exciting thing for me.

 

[reinking]

Damn good show by MS. Looking forward to several titles and keeping my eye on a few more.

 

[Vae_Victis]

What a weird trailer to end the show on... Long, boring and non-descriptive CGI video with Blizzard-like immature tone and style.

 

[nordique]

I thought it was fantastic. just games games games. game pass is amazing.

 

[intbal]

No more backwards compatible games. Ever.

What a disaster.

Total failure by Microsoft.

 

[Coolwhhip]

I really didnt see that first party revolution that Xbox so badly needed. Maybe next year.

 

[eastcoastkody]

i would play damn near everything shown. So thats good. And looks like i will since 99% of it is coming to gamepass

 

[Rheon]

Well, that's it.

MS best show in years, but that's not saying much.

 

[longdi]

27 games on Gamepass day 1 is mad value

Let say on average $50 per game, that is $1350 worth of games!

 

[Robb]

I've loved all of Arkane's stuff so I'll give Redfall the benefit of the doubt. But it didn't really look super interesting imo. Definitely not something that should have been the final announcement imo.

 

[jonnyp]

They are really ending with this?

Well FH5 looked good at least.

Rest of the show did absolutely nothing for me.

Cannot believe they still have nothing to show of Hellblade 2.

 

[MrPotato]

 

[Nubulax]

This show was good overall, Forza Horizon 5 looks cool. I would give it an 8/10.

More exciting games are still years away. Not enough gameplay. The last announcement was a CG cinematic trailer.

I would say that is a fair score maybe an 8.5. For Microsoft Xbox fanboys its prob a 10/10 because this show has been miles ahead of alot of past shows.

 

[Dr Bass]

It looked great, but lifeless like most of these racing or open world racing games. No fauna, and cities are abandoned when you arrive to them. Just vistas and cars.

Yeah, no interest from me on this one, but I know some people love it. I have a friend who loves all the Forza games and I don't get it. I'm not into GT either. I just think they all look fine.

Again, it was ok, but MS still just doesn't "get it" IMO. No creativity on display, no real charm. Just a bunch of realistic murder simulators, racing game ... and a bunch of games that will also be available elsewhere. Starfield is basically a year and a half away.

Replaced was by far the best thing they showed IMO because it looks different (even if it stole it's style from The Last Night, but where is that game??). I will likely get that. But the rest is a by the numbers snooze fest for me.

 

[Bartski]

Not exactly how I imagined that "vampire game from Arkane" man

 

[ULTROS!]

The games that I wanted are coming to PS anyway (namely Hades and Eiyuden Chronicles) soooo...
