I do kinda feel bad atm for the developers of the games that were shown, cus everyone is dumping on how bad this IX was, but it's really not their fault why people are disappointed, and I'm sure a lot of those games will be really fun.

It’s very simple, we have been used to E3 for as long as we can remember. This showing had no AAA surprises and 1st party exclusives. People having a hard time adjusting. July can’t come soon enough. 

So this show was meant to highlight the B tier launch window exclusives + some other third parties.

From game reveal trailers? I'd say the show was about as I would expect reveals to be, In-engine footage and gameplay montages with a few of them been cinematic trailers.

Xbox said get a first look at next generation gameplay on Inside Xbox not "we are only showing next gen gameplay on Inside Xbox"

I think the one thing that was disappointing was the Assassin's Creed Valhalla part of gameplay reveal which people were expecting more.

Xbox getting back to its roots with supporting indies. 360 was amazing in part thanks to Xbox Live Arcade.

And that's exactly what I predicted would happen (see what I said about RDR2)

It is gameplay, just from a different camera perspective. I can easily recreate all of the shots we've seen in the trailer with the photo mode once the game launches.

If you want to see actual gameplay footage you won't find it in a trailer, you'll find it in a gameplay demo.

Lol Why did MS not mention any of these exclusives during the show or havea. badge to indicate exclusivity? So weird.

Gonna be 2 months worth of everyone on twitter talking about how garbage the Series X is.....fun stuff.

The big take for me is that MS are investing in exclusive atmospheric horror games and one of them has music by Akira Yamaoka and I love it!

There's definitely a lot of pressure now on that July event being fucking amazing.
