How do you sell a new system if you don't show its capabilities? 

From a sales standpoint I think it was very weak. Didn't make me want to buy a new console, didn't make me wanna play almost anything. Halo showed us some minutes of gameplay which will be available on the current gen.

They marketed Series X as the most powerful console, where did they show that? They could've AT LEAST show some Hellblade 2 gameplay.

"But Halo was never about great graphics" "Halo is about gameplay". Ok, then why you need the so called most powerful console? 

CG or not they are enough to get people excited. Again I don’t see where gamers decided it’s a mandatory requirement to show gameplay for every reveal. Avowed is a Xbox exclusive Skyrim with LOTR elements, that’s huge! But nope it’s trash because it’s CG. That makes no sense to me. 

As for Halo, you need the most powerful console to make Halo open world while hitting those resolution and FPS benchmarks. The open world aspects is a dream come true, they traded graphical fidelity for scale, and of course the gameplay is tight. So the game not impressing “graphics whores” isnt a big concern of mine. We just want a great Halo game and in that regard the trailer didn’t disappoint. 

Still MS said it would be all gameplay right?

And nope, we have games bigger and looking better than Halo while being open world and 60fps even this gen.

I'm watching it now...
First on Halo Infinite, I have to say even Ratchet and Clank looked more impressive on the graphic technical side. I was underwhelmed =[, and sincerely didn't see the power of Series X being used from ground up. Face models itself didn't look better than even current gen games like TLOU2 or heck even GoT.
Will say that with State of Decay 3 I was a lot more impressed and it have a good looking demo presented. Not on the level of Horizon 2 Forbidden West imho, but well we need to see more on both, but so far it seemed good.
Phill Spencer can't get enough of his "the most, better, biggest, powerfull console yet" =p, strange that he says FM was captured fully in engine but didn't say the same for the previous 2 titles.
Forza looks great as expected, still is the single IP MS have been able to deliver with consistency on quality. It was a very short trailer so I'll wait DF comparison, if they make one, on how it and GT7 compares to one another, I expect the power advantage of Series X to give a leg up to FM.
Everwild is pretty but look like an Indie game, I would expect that from Double Fine (it matches with their point and click DNA) but for Rare that is a let down.
Tell me why looks like a fine 8gen game with cartoony texture for facial model. Won't blame it on MS since it is a third party that they got for temp or full exclusive.
Well Ori being updated to run 120fps isn't unexpected at all, but it is a pretty game with nice elements/artifacts.
Outer Worlds Gorgon for me doesn't even look like a good 8gen game.
Grounded is an interesting idea, doesn't look like a next gen game, but I know my son is thrilled for it and that I loved the movie. But I swear it was already released by the quantity of youtube video my son watched on it already.
Avowed looks like a proper next gen game and looking good by Obsidian (congrats on having 3 very good games developed at the same time), and no wonder it won't release on a current gen platform (despite being revealed within the timeframe of the crossgen for the next 2 years). But it don't have a reveal date, so may be just a early show-off.
As dusk falls seems a pretty nice indie with point and click or choice based system.
Hellblade 2 have a lot of potential, no date yet, but studio still isn't that big, let's see how it will unfold.
Psychonauts 2, underwhelming to cut it short.
Stalker 2 looks fine, but we didn't see what type of game is it going to be did we? But since it is timed exclusive (something Phil said he doesn't believe in but we will find people forgiving him), doesn't really matter much.
Warhammer 4000, lukewarm but since not MS studio not their fault, also timed exclusive.
Tetris effects, meeehhhhh, also not MS fault, but timed exclusive.
The gunk, liked the colors, but seem like a forgetable game, again not MS fault and also timed exclusive.
The medium, graphics look gen 8, but I really liked the idea of the 2 renders simultaneously, need to see how they will make that work in the gameplay and if you need to solve puzzles or challenges in on side or the other or both at the same time, or have enemies/traps coming differently on both and need to deal at same time. Good concept. Another timed exclusive, so doesn't really give leverage to MS.
Phantasy Star Online 2, lookf like a very good gen 8 game, and sure there is a good fanbase for it, not sure if it being free to play will help or not sales of XSX.
CrossfireX, not that impressive, but timed exclusive, so much for the rumors that Sony was buying Remedy =p
Fable didn't show much, but well it was very pretty, seems like the rumors were true and Playground will do a fine entry on it. And the userbase will be happy with it, they have been waiting for quite a good time.

The show in a whole doesn't really seem better than PS5 event, and even had only Halo gameplay everything else is trailer of cutscene, similar to sony reveal. So good guy Phill wasn't telling the truth on back to back gameplay or 3rd party exclusives being bad right?

I wasn't wrong when I said I didn't expect this show to be better than PS5 event.

Didn't someone get banned from this thread for saying the exact same thing?

Dunno, I'm still on page 5 of reading posts.
