The only good thing about Microsoft is game pass, real shame the other 2 doesn't have as good services.

Xbox E3 2019 Briefing |OT| E3 Only on Xbox.
- Thread starter Dyashen
- Start date
I'm kind of shocked too. The window was left wide open for them to get the jump on Sony and gain some ground.
Instead they showed mostly trailers and a pretty ho-hum tease for the next Xbox.
Bit lukewarm on the show. Overall I enjoyed it and it definitely had some highlights for me (sucks that a few things got already leaked though). Biggest megaton was definitely PSO2, because I never expected the game to come west after all. Sucks that it's early 2020 though. In general: most of the stuff shown was 2020 I feel. Oh and Keanu Reeves. Fucking awesome.
The major difference that I made sure to distinguish is, that while those cgi trailers came out, they werent followed up with back to back cgi trailers with no gameplay or info. Two years in a row with no gameplay or info on the game is a fucking joke
I hate this idea of announcing a console 18 months away and trying to be secretive about it...we all pretty much know what's coming in these things. Show it, name it, date it, price it, etc...let people pre-order now or be able to start paying it off.
It gets it out of the way now and then 2020 can be all about the games...the hype will be just as much.
Same with Sony.
Conference was pretty much meh for me overall...some cool things but nothing real mindblowing. Was hoping to get more info on xCloud too.

Microsoft was ok. Not enough Gameplay, some big surprised was missing, funny Moments and no real Infos about XCloud and Scarlett.
So yeah, fine but nothing special

Their 2018 briefing was better, but it's just not the biggest year in the industry. I guess that's why Sony skipped. I wish Microsoft would have shown more gameplay, but they might do this through streams and Inside Xbox. Still think they should have done a Fable and Banjo-Threeie teaser just to get people pumped up for next gen besides Halo. The one thing I was not surprised about is that the new studios wouldn't have tons of stuff to announce yet. Many of them are still finishing up their commitments and we'll only see new stuff in 2-3 years from now. I wish they had talked more about pricing of Project xCloud though.
I want to talk to that I-hate user now. He said this was going to be the best conference evah. He lied!
Thought overall it was ok.
Loved:
Outer worlds
Cyberpunk
Keanu
Spirit Farer
Elden ring
Ori
Then the conference kinda ran out of steam. When they started talking about the actual Xbox games. Expected ga eplay from Halo and Gears. The gears trailer for a multiplayer mode was super weird.
Canny conference, but it started so strong that the poorer second half kinda took the wind out of my sails.

That was an OK conference, but there were no real megatons for me. I'm happy with their new focus on PC and I just subbed to game pass. Friendship with Sony ended! Just kidding, I'll be on PC with a PS5 on the side for exclusives. I must say again how I really like MS finally doing the right thing on PC and I'll be supporting that from today.
Ori, Cyberpunk 2077 and Elden Ring were the main highlights for me. Many other nice looking games, but nothing majorly exciting.

That kinda sucked. I mean I thought some of the games looked good, but it was all CG trailers and snippets of gameplay if there was any at all.
Show us prerecorded gameplay if you don't wan to do the live thing, but god it was so boring seeing CG trailer after CG trailer.
4/10

it looked nothing especial to me, nothing that made me go WOW THIS IS NEXT GEN
Yeah, this is pretty much me. I feel there was nothing at this conference as exciting as the new Death Stranding trailer. 🤷🏻♂️
Same here. There's nothing here to get excited about, to make you think you're getting a better experience than the Xbox One.
I wanted more gameplay. Enjoyed the variety of types of games that Microsoft is supporting though.
This conference was MID.... it set UP next year... and honestly i've been tired of waiting. All this was was a reminder of hey we got cool stuff coming eventually. definitely interested in a few of the games but I did not get enough Halo outta this.. or really anything from their older exclusives
I'm sort of stunned by how underwhelming that was towards the middle and end. Beginning was good and then it just petered into cg after cg nonsense. No new gameplay trailer for Gears is baffling. Expected more from CDPR even though that cg trailer looked absolutely bonkers good in the Mixer stream at 4k. Intrigued by the Blair Witch game (seems to be borrowing themes from stuff like The Endless film which is right up my alley), indies are ofc always on my radar. The Game Pass additions are great, PC Game Pass stuff was good, but overall gameplay presentation was so severely lacking I'm wondering what in the hell is going on wrt general planning behind the conference. Like is there market research showing these expensive cg trailers boost pre-orders or something?
Totally in for that Lego Forza pack though that looks like so much fun.

peaked with cyberpunk, expected a bit more from next gen but it's still so early that those expectations probably weren't realistic
was hoping they'd get an avengers project trailer, guess square wants the world exclusive for their live stream that will probably get half the viewership. whatever.
no aoe4 and no banjo makes me sad :(

Where the fuck was the Gameplay?
Interesting Scarlet saying x4 times to power of Xbox One X so does that mean its 24TF?

Wait, that Halo clip was next gen? Looked worse than some stuff this gen in terms of animation and facial detail.
They shouldn't have shown scarlet at all if that's all they had

I sometimes wonder what potent shit some peeps in Era are on...
My highlight was Master Chief's armour looks super good (the last 30 mins were bad), but from what I saw, I'm glad I didn't go out my way to watch the show, just caught the Cyberpunk trailer and that's have probably been my overall highlight based on what I'm seeing that was shown.
