Ok, but they recently just said that they'd make their games multiplatform from now on if they can. Waiting to see if Nier sells enough would contradict that.
I don't think he's unaware, but that's exactly the point. He knows better. He also knows that next to nobody watching would be confused by that lead-in. He said it to shit disturb. No quips about EA, no digs at Bethesda (show was pretty solid tbh), and multiple hype-posts for Sony. For someone in his position in the industry, he should be a little more careful to not be so transparent in taking sides.
He can be a member of GAF and ERA all he wants, doesn't mean he doesn't contribute to the console-war mentality.
I think when he has great interview skills, is very "ear to the ground" in the industry and is a looked at as a trusted source for info. I'd love to think of him as a trusted source as well. He just rubs me the wrong way with his displays of favouritism that creates bias.
To me this is as awkward as Meher Tatna (Pres. Hollywood Foreign Press) razzing on Paramount any chance she gets while being the head of the organization that awards Golden Globes. She could hate everything the studio has ever put it, but it's her job to let the public appreciate the merits and not point out the blemishes (when it comes to content and display)
Geoff is a great advocate for gaming, but I think it's clear his gaming preferences don't align with Xbox as well as they do the other platforms. This is fine in general, but coming from the official MC of E3 I'd wish for a bit more of an independent voice.
Several of his tweets leading up to, and during the Xbox show had a passive aggressive tone - hasn't been directed at any of the other conferences so far. Tweeting about leaks (implying him leaking the 1X price last year), reiterating the heavy 3rd party showing (including the tweet quoted above), etc. He just has a different tone when talking about Playstation or Nintendo vs Xbox (in my opinion).
Could this be the opposite of the whole "Console Launch Exclusive" debacle and is simply coming first to PS4? I mean, Crash presented similarly, as did Nier. Even as "easy" as porting could be, both games got their Xbox announcements fairly shortly after release and shortly preceding their MS appearance.
Also, consider that the Squeenix commitment came from an earnings call recently and wouldn't reflect games deep in development.
Just some thoughts

The Platinum game I can understand, but why the Human Head game as well?
Pretty much.
For the short term the conference didn't do that much for me, but it did prove to me that MS is literally doubling down on gaming and will be a part of the industry for years to come. Hopefully we'll see some of the results as early as E3 next year.
And 2019 shapes to be the greatest year of the generation already, hell, even the early 2019 is packed, DAT 22 February tho haha
More like 21/22. Ambitious games take about 4 years for most studios to make. This is a long term fix. Short term they will rely on Forza, Gears, Halo...in that order through 2020.
For their internal studios that may be true.
We could still see new games from external studios though. Plus there's a chance that Age of Empires 4 could be ported to XBO.
Was he also childish when he "shamed" Konami of how they treated Kojima during VGA? He is many times the only one with balls to tell the audience how things truly are.
It doesn't only have to be money, but also, you know, Japan.
Yep, from September on I'll be grabbing:
- Spider-Man (PS4) - September 7
- Shadow of the Tomb Raider (PS4, Xbox One, PC) – September 14
- Spyro Reignited Trilogy (PS4, Xbox One) – September 21
- Forza Horizon 4 (Xbox One, PC) - October 2
- Battlefield V (PS4, Xbox One, PC) – October 19
- Red Dead Redemption II (PS4, Xbox One) – October 26
- Hitman 2 (PS4, Xbox One, PC) – November 13
- Fallout 76 (PS4, Xbox One, PC) - November 14
- Let's Go Pikachu/Eevee! (Switch) - November 16
- Just Cause 4 (PS4, Xbox One, PC) - December 4
Reveal of that new game from Bohemia, Astroneer news, likely some platform feature news, hopefully the reveal of the Elitev2

I mean, him tearing up on stage talking about Kojima was pretty fucking embarrassing.
Heads up you missed Dragon Quest XI coming out on the 4th September
Well those are the one's I'm personally picking up, at or near launch. I won't have time for Dragon Quest.....lol
Edited my last post for clarity
Gears 5, Sea of Thieves, Forza Horizon 4, Battlefield V, Astroneer, Bohemia Interactive Game reveal, Devil May Cry V, Fallout 76, "game reveals" (likely small things like ports and indies) and "breaking Game Pass news".
The one thing that surprised me during the Xbox show was that FH4 truly is the only exclusive left for Xbox this year.
I don't mind because tons of third party games are releasing to keep me busy but yeah.

The Halo trailer on the official Halo channel has 1.3 million views .
What are you talking about? This tweet was an outright troll attempt.
This is what I like about the guy - this part shows he has some journalistic integrity. He was right to point out that a corporation treated one of the best creators in the industry as trash.
Also - he simply aired a legal battle happening between Konami and Kojima. Those were facts. He didn't uninvite Konami or award Kojima personally despite Konami's requests. He just stated why Kojima wasn't in attendance and (rightfully) felt no need to pull punches.
Forza Horizon 4 has the best spot of all of them. So far. Will see what other games get announced haha.
We can't say if it's wrong or right because they didn't show that game at their press conference.
Walmart Canada leak said Dragon Quest Builders 2 was coming to Xbox One. They only showed DQXI today which is very different from DQ Builders 2. DQ Builders is more Minecraft-esque.
Agreed, was gonna say Fallout/Pokemon isn't too bad either.. But then I remembered RDRO will probably be delayed a week or 2 again.
Spiderman I'm iffy on, the date is good but I think the legs are gonna be hurt massively with all those games following it so it will depend heavily on it's out the gate sales.
So, some thoughts on E3 and MS first party:
Basically, I love the commitment, the new studios are nice and I think its great they're investing, I hope they continue to be open to that where opportunities arise and Im assuming there are some new projects ongoing at Compulsion and Ninja Theory that might explain what MS specifically wanted to buy them for but I liked Contrast and Heavenly Sword so maybe it was that but we'll see.
I am however disappointed at the lack of content last year and this year, next year looks better - CD3, Ori 2, Gears 5, maybe something Halo? and a Forza obv. It just shows that after 2014 they really didnt greenlight much that wasnt a core franchise and thats disappointing.
I dont think its good for game pass either that they squashed SOT and SOD2 together then FH4 in October then the gap to Crackdown 3, im glad that game is getting the it needs dont get me wrong, but MS havent announced a new IP since E3 2015 and dont have any announced. I know what Zhuge has said about next-gen and I appreciate the insights on development, but im a consumer and a console owner, i've never been very interested in corporate BS about "being held back" and Phil getting the job "only 6 months ago" when hes been head of Xbox for 4 years and all the cancellations.
I guess I will just have to be satisfied that there is a commitment to the future and we'll see what happens. It was a good show overall though, a much better presentation than they've done in years and the Gears stuff looked great although not sure why Tactics isnt hitting Xbox too.

Should be something to watch Inside Xbox for to see if something is announced there.
Microsoft isn't doing Xbox Daily show anymore. It's being replaced with a 2 hour long Inside Xbox show today.
Our podcast team interviewed Geoff a couple of years back. The man is a notorious joker and that tweet represents his style - a good burn but all in fun. I doubt the Xbox team were offended and those who know him probably took it as a joke (at least I think so.) I wouldn't be too offended by it.
I'm adding Assassins Creed Odyssey to the list. Game is launching on October 5th
They're using Gears 5 (second image) to promote Inside Xbox and they say "including more information on exclusives Sea of Thieves, Forza Horizon 4 and Gears 5."
Gears 5 but no Crackdown 3 when Crackdown 3 releases first?
So from the image on the previous page, is that all they are going over on Inside? No Controller, No avatars, No Minecraft?
Edit: now it is right above my post.

Crackdown 3 will get its share of coverage as it gets closer to its release date. I know it looks weird on the surface but Gears 5 is kind of a safer show at this point in time.
Don't know, they'll probably go over OS feature updates, announce small games such as ports or indies, announce backward compatible games and announce Game Pass games. That's the extent of what I expect other than the games listed above.
