That was dumb as hell. Halo was cool. Where was the gameplay for everything else

These next gen consoles are a hard sell I guess.

 

[Hunnybun]

Man that was fucking shit.

Really thought they'd have more after the battering Sony gave them last month.

Jesus. The only stuff that looked good wasn't gameplay and possibly wasn't even real time.

 

[Tesseract]

no dark, gaiden, cell

sorta leaves me in a dark place, but that's aight

 

[Kev Kev]

Ok now that the show has ended, we are ready for the tsunami wave of hate, anger and all the negative things in life.

already starting lol, some sweaty mad nerds up in here

 

[Fart Knight]

That was a.... Letdown

 

[sw0mp_d0nk3y]

They fucked it.

They truly fucked it.

There was nothing in that to lure back gamers who went to PlayStation last gen. NOTHING.

I was willing and ready to switch back to xbox if they could wow me. But at least this livestream made it easier to decide on sticking with Sony.

 

[Orta]

Well that was crap. Can't think of a single reason anybody would go out and buy either console at launch.

 

[Gamernyc78]

Thy made my decision easy. No next box definitely getting ps5 and what thy showed during Sony presentation especially GT, Horizon, Spiderman, Agathia, Demon Souls, etc was infinitely better.

Never really was a Halo fan because when I played it mp felt generic and sp was OK but this Halo showing really ruined the presentation for me as I was secretly hoping to be wowed smh and I was instead.

 

[Kagero]

FFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCKKKKKKK! Why can't we have cool things? Worse gen ever! Games look no different.

 

[Kerotan]

This is legit the last console MS make. They'll do a pro edition in a few years and then call it a day as far as hardware is concerned. They just don't have what it takes anymore. First half of the 360 gen was their golden era but they've lost their way.

 

[WouldYouKindly]

Halo didn't look to hot honestly...... the only thing that caught my attention was the medium I might just pick up an x to play that one. State of decay 3 almost had my interest until I realized it was in fact state of decay 3 we all know that its not gonna look anything like that. And lol at all the gta5 jokes destiny 2 was a bigger joke imho

 

[Jonsoncao]

Pretty much same with this gen, PS5 for exclusives and PC for multiplat then.

 

[JunkerWoland]

Neither Microsoft nor Sony has made me want their new hardware, but this presentation moved the needle less than their competitor's.

 

[M1chl]

No need to comfort yourself with absolute bollocks. Its fine to say that it was bad

It was bad, but man Stalker 2...

 

[MightySquirrel]

I want to see State of Decay gameplay.

 

[GV82]

Lousy.

glad the pressure is off buying Next gen consoles year one now.

will wait 2-3rd year for discounts.

 

[Sacred]

This blew Sony's conference away, they showed way more interesting titles and way more exclusives. Half of Sony's conference was multiplats ffs. The trolls can leave now, thanks.

 

[longdi]

'one last thing'
shows an abrupt fable cg video

please sack this old fool

 

[McCarth]

I think many of you are a little too harsh on this show. MS definitely has to continue to step it up beyond this, but this is solid footing. Launches are freakin' difficult.

 

[Chromata]

I thought it was a good showing, I just wish there was more actual gameplay.

They definitely overhyped it, though. There was no "mic drop" moment.

 

[Apocryphon]

Atrocious.

 

[Aguero9320]

Looked great to me. Obvious trolls aside, not sure what people want or were expecting any more /shrug

 

[cormack12]

Summary - Microsoft prob had the stronger lineup overall, but didn't know which IPs to focus on or what snippets to show. Sony focused on a select few titles to show reasons for next gen.

At the moment, I don't think there's a reason to buy a new console until mid 2021.

Sony event 6.5
MS event 7.0

That is all.

 

[Daffy Duck]

Assuming de from Forza I didn’t see anything there that will make me buy a series x on day one.

Im gonna stick with my One X for a while

 

[MastaKiiLA]

Excited about the new Fable...not sure if that was CGI...

terrible lol , wasted my 1 hr

Is fable CG or realtime

Of everything shown on either console so far, that was the most CG. More unbelievable than HB2. The foliage detail, and hair detail, not to mention reflection on the water all screamed CG to me. I would like to be wrong though.

 

[Goro Majima]

Like Sony's showcase, lots of good stuff and just a few things I'm looking forward to. Nothing mind blowing or game changing though.

Gamepass remains the best thing to happen for consumers in a long time.

I still imagine COVID is fucking with a lot of future plans right now which has made this summer kinda underwhelming for these reveals.

 

[smbu2000]

Gamepass delivering!

 

[Mista]

It was fun chilling with the people on here more than watching this snoozefest

Cheers GAF

 

[TTOOLL]

The have one job, sell the XSX. And that’s not done.
There’s really nothing they’ve shown or said that would say you should get a XSX instead of a XOX.

They wanna sell xbox consoleS, game pass and smart delivery it seems.

 

[Yoshi]

Lol Microsoft. You want to go up against the PS5 line up with that? Oh my...

 

[Trogdor1123]

Grounded looks good. Kind of disappointed with the rest. Fable could be neat but we have literally no info on it at all.

The thing launches in a few months. If they are going to have 100 games by Christmas shouldn't they actually show them?

 

[b0uncyfr0]

Not impressed - I wanted good first party games, i saw nothing that impressed me.

Indie and third party games are point though , but MS have kinda shot themselves in the foot.

Why would i buy an expensive console, when a mid lvl PC can play most of those indie's and third parties with GamePass?

 

[MisterXDTV]

Embarassing

 

[kriolo]

They are not trying to sell you a console,they are selling Xbox game PASS

 

[Ogbert]

Both conferences a let down.

Will pick up both consoles but nothing jumps out at the moment.

 

[Varteras]

That was really underwhelming.

 

[nyr88nyg]

This presentation was a teraFLOP.

 

[quest]

Thank God for the first party rpg triad of studios. Obsidian entertainment and playground rpg saved a shit show. This is the place if you want first party RPGs like me.

 

[Sephimoth]

Well that made up my mind. I'll wait till the hits arrive before jumping into next gen. Lousy show

 

[Kerotan]

Thy made my decision easy. No next box definitely getting ps5 and what thy showed during Sony presentation especially GT, Horizon, Spiderman, Agathia, Demon Souls, etc was infinitely better.

Never really was a Halo fan because when I played it mp felt generic and sp was OK but this Halo showing really ruined the presentation for me as I was secretly hoping to be wowed smh and I was instead.

PS5 is the obvious choice expecially when all this is available on PC so there's not even any exclusives.

Biggest announcement was stalker 2 and that is made for pc primarily and likely only timed exclusive on consoles.

 

[Mista]

Xbox Games Showcase sale on Steam if anyone is interested

XBox Games Showcase

Stay tuned for awesome announcements!

[OutRun88]

I hope all you Dorito eating Mountain Dew drinkers enjoyed your snacks more than the show.

 

[Ass of Can Whooping]

So what are Microsofts big AAA launch exclusives? Just Halo?

 

[GrayChild]

I'm glad I decided to go PC-only for next-gen, just as I did for this one.

 

[StreetsofBeige]

Sony event 6.5
MS event 7.0

That is all.

Good advice. By that time the 1 TB Seagate SSD might come down in price or a bigger SSD is announced too.

Today's MS show 7
MS May show 4
Sony Show 3

 

[intbal]

I'm glad I still have my WinXP gaming PC.
It still has the best game library.

 

[FunkMiller]

I give this show 6 teraflops out of 12.

 

[Mista]

So what are Microsofts big AAA launch exclusives? Just Halo?

WOOOOORLLLLDDDDD PREMIEEERRRRRRRRRRRR

 

[Nikana]

Both of the launch line ups for these machines look dire as fuck.

 

[Nickolaidas]

I still can't believe how last gen Halo Infinite looked. I mean, I - I - I thought they would've ... added trees? Grass? Awesome explosion effects?

No ... it ... it looked like an Xbox S game ... on 4K.

Jesus.
