Forums - Microsoft - Spencer: Our Games Line-Up This Year Had an Incredible Reception from Gamers Everywhere

Microsoft hosted an Xbox Fanfest event in Mexico City last week, with all the main executives (Head of Xbox Phil Spencer, Head of Marketing Aaron Greenberg and Major Nelson/Larry Hryb) appearing on stage during the briefing. The recording is now available here, in case you’re interested.

 

During the briefing, Phil Spencer spent some praise about the Xbox 2016 line-up of games.

 

At Xbox, our vision is very clear: we put the gamer at the center of every decision we make. When we think about our service, we think about our games, we think about our hardware, it is you playing your games that is driving the passion of team Xbox. With Xbox Live we’ve been investing to create the fastest, most reliable online gaming network anywhere, with new features like clubs, looking for groups, Xbox Arena; all of that to make your gaming experience even better. But why do we buy our game consoles? To play great games. And our games line-up this year has had an incredible reception from gamers everywhere, from ReCore to Gears of War 4 and Forza Horizon 3. Our commitment to continue to deliver the best exclusives we can possibly bring to your gaming experience is why your investment in Xbox is something that will continue to pay off.

Great games this year and next year will be even better.

Keep up the good work Phil



I'm a fan of this new direction. Quality hardware couple with quality software all around.



So they had the fanfest because Xbox is launching in Mexico.

Xbox One S Coming to Mexico Next Week

Only Gears 4 and FH3 for me this year. Might get QB when it's really cheap

Hopefully next year will be better

So they are just pretending Quantum break didn't even happen?

 

That, and did they write this before ReCore came out?

Bet with Adamblaziken:

I bet that on launch the Nintendo Switch will have no built in in-game voice chat. He bets that it will. The winner gets six months of avatar control over the other user.

QB, Forza,and Gears were okay......Recore ended up being trash, barely know anyone who finished the drawn out tedious second half of the game. First half was pretty good....last half was just terrible.

Really just shows how weak Xbox line up was this year......considering they had 2 of the series last year. 4 games isn't many much to really talk about......they literally were able to name drop all but 1...shows lack of exclusive games this year.

Gamers did like ReCore though. The user reviews on the Xbox Store and Amazon were mostly good, 3.9/5 on Amazon and 4.4/5 on the Xbox Store. It's just the critics that shat on it. 

 

Nearly every game gets good reviews from Amazon and first party stores. Knack has 4.1/5 and 4/5 from Amazon and the PlayStation Store respectively. Those aren't good measures of how well a game is received.

Gears of War 4, Forza Horizon 3 and Quantum Break 'nuff said. Truly amazing games, this year has been outstanding 😊



As a guy who 'Jumped in' with the S launch I gotta say I am delighted with my purchase. Xbox One is a great console that deserves all the sales it gets. Great hardware and a fantastic lineup. Keep it up MS and more will come home.
