7 and that seven is because of Witcher III, Ori, and that new limbo game. everything else is CGI, coop, and MP. No unique experiences. but the good thing about this, they talked about games only.



Around the Network

Well, let me start with the good:

I think the format they went with for this presentation was excellent. Absolutely outstanding, and made most previous E3 presentations look positively archaic by comparison. Excellent job on that.

The bad:

They didn't bring what they needed to bring. Not even slightly. Halo Collection would've been a pleasant surprise had it not been leaked like a month ago; the rest of the stuff was already announced.

Otherwise, MS seem to be investing in niche exclusives. Crackdown sold on the back of being Halo 3 beta access. Phantom Dust was something I had never even heard of until a few weeks ago when it was brought up on these forums. Platinum Games are like the definition of a cult developer - dedicated fanbase, but inherently pretty small.

I'd be interested to see how MS' advertising money leverages these games, but still.

Pushing multi-plats isn't a bad idea. It worked for Sony. But Sony are likely to be able to leverage the performance of multi-plats going forward (an advantage 360 had over PS3).

All in all, I enjoyed the conference. It was a good showing. But I was just expecting MS to laydown the gauntlet for Sony, and instead they just kinda put down a few pieces.

where is quantum break? I guess its good they dont show stuff we already saw.

THey announced before E3 that QB will be revealed at Gamescon.

Wasn't the most impressed with this conference per say. I am a fan of the Halo remasters and Crackdown series from the past (and Witcher 3, but i'll definitely get that for my PC), but more gameplay might have swayed me more.



6 out of 10, pretty average, way too much CGI, multiplats.Zero surprises or megatons.

Jack Tretton saying MS did "good"?? This feels weird.



I was able to catch the last half hour, and read up on what they showed.

Kinda dissappointing. I miss the old E3 where it was surprise after surprise. I dont expect more from Sony either (unless they do show Last Guardian or Medievil 3).

Hope nintendo is able to deliver.

An average conference in my opinion.


For fans of Halo, and Crackdown, I bet it was a great conference for them, but I didn't see megatons dropped.



CPU: Ryzen 9950X
GPU: MSI 4090 SUPRIM X 24G
Motherboard: MSI MEG X670E GODLIKE
RAM: CORSAIR DOMINATOR PLATINUM 32GB DDR5
SSD: Kingston FURY Renegade 4TB
Gaming Console: PLAYSTATION 5

I think halo colection was the best thing they showed, comes with everything, 1080p 60fps

alot of people will be happy



What was the megaton? Not trolling but I didn't see any, pretty good show though 7/10 Expected more exclusives tbh
