They posted quite a good show if your intention was to see how many games they could pull up in more than an hour.
It clearly has "Here's pratically all of our cards for the next few years" written over it, considering the rumors they want this current generation over fast.
Only real problems I'd see here is basically their usual non-commitment in showing us release dates and CGI/In-game rendered scenes. Like I'm sorry but Perfect Dark isn't gonna be close to what we watched of the trailer.
But hey, it's understandable once you understand they wanted to show their whole catalog and not just what to expect of the near future, like Nintendo or Sony do nowadays.

On a personal note, never been much into most of the catalog they presented here but I understand how great it might be for some.

Expedition 33, Doom The Dark Ages and the mecha game were my favorite shown here.

Also, wtf with the 309GB for COD BO6 ?!!! Compress your games Activision !

I mean, that whole comment is about your own take on what is going on; and it seem that you are far off reality... 

- We all know they have many other games in dev. so where is that "all our cards" coming? They have a LOT of studios, so they can show a lot of stuff in development, it comes with it.

- You are the only one "understanding" it that way... So I guess it is fine if you can also come up with a story that fits your narrative but even for the perfect dark; I'm pretty sure this was gameplay and it was not over the top by any means, so not sure what your point is here too.

- This the yearly "E3" show from Microsoft, they always do that, every years, since the beg. of E3. They changed the formula one year (for next 12 months) and it did not work so well, so they are just back to whatever they have always been doing... Even then they showed probably a third of it coming out this year, another third 2025 and the rest with no dates. Nothing wrong with that and way better than showing the one or 2 games coming out this year, and make it a 30m show...

This is so nuts; for some people; everything that Xbox does always end up as "desperate" lol 

Yes, it is my own take, such is the way to comment on what was presented here ... Making a simple "here's what there was" would be more objective but also more boring.

Like you've never been on an after show commentary.

Anyway, never said they had nothing else in development, it's common that there's always something in development at these studios, be showed or not. "Pratically" isn't "everything". 

Considering their willingness to showcase titles coming out for the next year or with no release date, it is clear that they at least showed what were the most advanced of their projects until 2026. 

That is my understanding of it. Doesn't matter if you agree or not really.
