Most of MS franchises are "oh, that's already been released?" or "I thought that they were at Gears 6 already".

They are a multi-billion dollar games company with exclusives that have about as much impact as a Chinese F2P Steam game.

They still think that they're winning, and that exclusives don't matter cause Sony can't compete with them. THerefore, third party games just default to Xbone games.

Remember, 10 years ago, stealing DMC4 from Sony was considered a crippling blow. People predicted that after E3 2008, Sony were well and truly done for. Microsoft are still in that headspace, and its clearly killing them.

THey're only starting NOW to grow talent. Its insane.

Sony also dug themselves out of it by the console redesign and price drops, the introduction of PS+, and churning out exclusive content like TLOU, Infamous, Uncharted, etc. while Microsoft went off to do Kinect bullshit. That’s how Sony got my business back. I was hoping Microsoft would have learned from seeing that.

If you own an Xbox it was very good because they featured many good look games from a variety of genders. If you are into console warrior nonsense it was bad because many of the best looking games were multiplat.

I'm honestly surprised they had nothing to show from it.

Minecraft is unbelievably stagnant. The random jabronis that Notch picked to take over after he absconded with millions don't know how to do game development.

Minecraft is never changing or doing anything significantly new.

Forza looks good, but I'd bet a bit nervous about with how DLC and microtransactions are handled in Forza Horizon 3. They are relentless in pushing it at the player and it is tiring in game. They do these Forzathon discounts every week or so where a car has its price cut ingame, but surprise that car is one of the many DLC packs, so its asks for real money. Apparently the last Forza Motorsports was rough on that as well.

E3 loves its "gamer actors" and they're so loving awkward.

Big news is though FH4 won't have "driveatars", its one big shared world. That's pretty cool.

THat would probably be news to J-Star Victory Vs., a game you can buy right now, while you are sitting right there, that came out 3 years ago, that's basically the exact same game as this one. And that one had JoJo and Kenshiro.

Yeah, I guess that would be the case. Already have a PS4 (and my main console right now is the Switch) so no XBone for me.

You fuckers are mental if that forza horizon 4 trailer didn't hype the poo poo out of you.

There is no game I am more pumped for.

I might well be a bit of an outlier , but Microsoft's strategy of rolling their Xbox division into a universal windows 10 service is perfect for me as a pc only nerd.

I would be more interested if I saw actual gameplay and not a fancy pre-rendered movie. Even the "actual gameplay" they showed was staged as gently caress.
That said, 60fps is a serious plus for any racing game, so I hope they can fully deliver on that.

All in all, Microsoft had a really good show, lots of variety and a few big announcements! It'll be hard to top.

Aside from lovely driving physics, TDU2 and Ibiza was pretty rad. The village sections felt pretty nice, probably because they were mirroring real world road geometry.

I am not going to buy it, I can't care less about car games. But I was watching a stream with commentators, and the commentators disabled the stream decoration to run it in full glory. And I did basically the same things. I think is glorious.

I still have zero interest in a car game, but at least look good even for people that don't like these things.
