- 10 Launch Exclusive
- 22 Console Launch Exclusives

Out of the 10 excluives titles iam only interested in State of Decay 3 but they have to prove that they did it better than State of Decay 2
Out of the 22 console launch exclusives.... there are like 3 games i would like to play.... but they will appear on PS 5 too.


Nothing to make me buy a Xbox. They didnt even proof that they can do better than PS 5

No that means they are working with their partners, the console launch exclusives are only on Xbox.

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.
Dude, it's an open world halo game. For that it looked OK and I guess many other people weren't expecting halo to be the graphics showcase..and if you play a game like Halo only for the visuals then you're a true weirdo.


Gameplay design, weapon handling, soundtrack and story are MUCH more important for this game, especially for HALO FANS. you know, the one demographic that might be interested in rebuying a halo game again.

Everwild and Obsidians games looked cool. Wish there was actual gameplay. New fable cool too.

Everything else was forgettable and no gameplay made is a pretty bad show.
Theres meant to be gameplay to show some stuff.
Very dissapointed in Halo... like the open direction but didnt look like Halo gameplay, quite upsetting. Looks graphically not good either

This was a great showcase.

Some absolute heat with plenty of variety that will satisfy everyone with something. So many titles announced before along with these new ones shown today, no can say Xbox doesn't have games anymore. And this isn't even all we still have a hand full of studios that haven't announced what their working on. Overall very excited for next generation in Xbox's eco-system.

With what? Corridor gameplay? It is not even swapping out entire levels like was previously speculated but running 2 texture sets simultaneously and palette-swapping them. :S

uh rift apart was just jumping though, nothing more. did you see the gameplay trailer? not talking about the announcement trailer, which was very misleading, talking about the GAMEPLAY trailer.

I don't get it? Why can't they fund big games like sony, what's up with the story and cinematic crap?
Halo is the biggest disappointment so far, look so samey and the graphics are on par with this gen, not a leap or anything. Plus "we have a really really big game" is such a turn off these days.

I am a virgin
Phantasy Star Online 2 looks this good???
No it currently does not
is this new PSO2 expansion basically PSO3.
Sounds like they're going to drop a graphics patch, which I'm stoked for
This game is 7-8 years old at this point, but the game play is still solid and there's tons to do
Giving it some updated visuals I'm sure will draw more of a crowd; especially with all the crazy shit that goes on

Neither Sony or MS have made the argument for an IMMEDIATE hardware purchase.

But I'm probably going to get the Series X because there seems to be a growing list of optimized games.

Assuming the PS5 will have greater demand and less supply, I can put it off for now.

Still waiting to see those 12 Tflops.

Halo looked like PC versions of current gen game, and of course it basically is (at least gameplay looked like good Halo gameplay). In my mind it looks comparable to Uncharted 4 jeep section.

The final reel of games looked great though.

To be fair, PlayStation's event was barely better in terms of gameplay;

I think the issue is scheduling. They have big games coming, but those games aren't developed enough to show anything yet.

Lets be real here. For the long run we know who's killing it

I think 343 doesn't know how to improve their level design. The world looks so compact and uninteresting.

Forgot this was happening and just skipped around through it. Looks like some really cool new content. I won't be buying a Series X, but man, GamePass just keeps getting better. Looking forward to playing these games on PC.
 
My biggest take away is there was variety in what they are putting out. As somebody who feels gaming has become very uninspired.. I am glad to see this. And while games like grounded may not appeal to me, my 10 year old is interested. This will keep me subscribed to gamepass for the foreseeable future, which is what MS wants.

I saw ONE triple A exclusive game that I wanted to play.
It was Halo. It was the first thing they showed and we knew it was it going to be there.
If this was an E3 press conference....

Selfishly plays on Xbox Purr-ies X
Decent show. Too many trailers and games I don't care about, but this show was way better then MS' May and last month's Sony show.

And best of all, probably half the games shown are on GP.

I thought it was much better than the PS5 show. First it didn't open with a game 2 generations old. There were way more games I'm interested in. They showed as much gameplay as Sony and all looked better than what Sony showed. Even as awful as Tell Me why is, it's not quite as horrible as Volcano High.

lol ok you guys are losing your shit over nothing. everything looked fine in both shows. im out :messenger_tears_of_joy:

Interesting titles were shown (Halo, Avowed, Medium, Fable) but we have no clue how they play and what they look like. I mean, they could have just post an article with 2-3 pics and it would have the same result. These conferences are a great chance to see how these games play, and MS seriously underdelivered.

Halo was especially disappointing to me. It didn't look next gen. Like, AT ALL.

Halo looked great (much to my relief). Could have used some gameplay on other titles, but it looks like a nice, varied lineup overall.

Pretty good show, except that Microsoft (like Sony) is under the delusion that we only want to see CGI concept trailers...
...or maybe I'm the delusional one, and that is what most gamers want. *shrug*

On the negative side, I will say that Everwild looks incredibly unappealing, and I sincerely hope it's just a side project and Rare has something else up their sleeves. For whatever reason, that strikes the hate chord in my petty little heart something fierce, except for that bit where she comes out of the forest holding the baby giraffe Pokemon ofc.
