Agreed, I'm all for not blowing your load way too early, in fact, I think it's something the industry as a whole needs to do better, but MS at this E3, unveiling a new console-the most powerful console ever-really needed at least one first party wow factor game. Something that makes you say ya, I need that, and I need it now!

Anthem gave me that feeling, but it's multiplat, and far off

Yeah, they really needed a showpiece title for Scorpio, and I feel like they didn't have that. Crackdown 3 looks good for it's artstyle, but it's no graphical stunner, it's not going to take the best console graphics throne away from Horizon: Zero Dawn, not even close. Sea of Thieves also looks good for it's artstyle, but once again, it's not going to dethrone the king. Forza 7 looked good, but not as good as I expected based on that 4K Forza 6 Scorpio screenshot MS gave Digital Foundry a few months ago. The 3 best looking games they had on the show were Anthem, Metro Exodus, and AC Origins, all multiplats.

We need to talk about Crackdown.

It's Microsoft's big holiday game, launching alongside the X, and yet during their conference they treated it like one of the countless indies they rattled off one after another. How the fuck do you not give this game at least the same 8ish minutes you gave Sea of Thieves, AC, or Shadow of Mordor? It's your own damn game at your own damn conference ffs.......

Seriously, I predict this game is in trouble, and is being rushed out so MS has an X launch title

I would have liked to see more of Crackdown for sure. While I think the game will be fine and fun; it may not live to the expectations of some Xbox fans; I'm a bit worried too.

For Anthem, I'm really hyped... Destiny was a let down for me, they are basically focusing on multiplayer and while the game looks okay it is far from being a super looking game like (Ryse, Witcher, Horizon Down, etc...). But Anthem looks to anwser all of those promises :) Destiny like game play (coop, single player), graphics are amazing, RPG mecanisms, loot etc... Cannot wait to get more information about it.

I hope they show some Read Dead Redpemtion 2 at Sony's conference on tomorrow too, my list of looking forward games is growing for this year and next year :)

Anthem looked great, but it being a multiplayer game concerns me a lot. I hope it's an enjoyable solo experience as well.

They showed a new Ori. The newest Crackdown. The new State of Decay and a brand new IP Sea of Thieves. Is Super Lucky Tales 1st party?It's new if so. After these drop we'll see newer games I'm betting. No more far out of reach announcements anymore. It's gotten completely out of hand anyway. I'm fine with it.

 

Now with all that being said. These studios have 12 months to show what they've been cooking. It has to get better. They have nothing holding them back. Hardware they can do what they want. Now just bring new ideas to the table. And for fucks sake make sequels to some of the popular OG xbox games

I don't think Super Lucky's tales is first party but if you go to the Xbox one X page they advertise it right next to Forza 7, Crackdown 3, Sea of Thieves and State of Decay 2.

Project Darwin looked interesting and I'm excited to play battlegrounds, which could be huge like it is on pc. Crackdown was a big letdown. Mostly I was sad there was nothing halo. I was hoping for a spinoff game or at the least a 4K update for halo 5 but they give that treatment to wars instead. Crazy considering halo 5 hovers around top 20 most played games while wars2 isn't on the list at all.



Halo MCC will sell 5+ million copies(including digital)

halo 5 will sell 10 million copies(including digital)

x1 will pass ps4 in USA, and UK.

About time. I had completely forgotten about this game.

Wonder what happened to Below and ReCore DE

Guessing ReCore DE will be announced in Xbox Daily, Below in Limbo.

I also expected to see Eagle reveal for Killer Instinct.

Small change to the boxarts but a nice one IMO

Also nice ass....

glad i'm not the only one who thought that.

Tbh I was really disappointed by that Ubi pirate game (and everything else they showed). I'm getting For Honor vibes from it, aka, major wasted opportunity.

Doesn't have Sea of Thieves charm at all

Yeah when I saw it I was hyped but now the more I read about it the less I care Just sounds like them Naval Combat games on PC already, i don't want to be stuck controlling a ship 24/7 or cycle in and out of matches.

Ubisoft conference however I'd say is easily the best conference so far (Not hard though) I'd give them a 7/10.

Really? I thought it was awful lol

No Aisha

Lots of slo mo talking on stage

No Aisha

Not enough South Park

No Aisha

Seriously, the monotone slo mo talking.....what are they smoking at Ubi?

Off screen, "home base" AC gameplay teasing? huh?

Worst segway to dancing ever

No Aisha, and Bebe left after 20 seconds.....

Beyond Good and Evil 2.......we have no idea what we're doing yet, please help us make it!!!!!
