Microsoft Games Showcase Event Today (11am ET / 8am PT / 4pm UK)

As usual the GAF community embarrasses itself with a gross overreaction, wait for the the devs that have alot more time developing with the final hardware. I have huge expectations for the July showcase, knew this would be nothing more then showing titles coming in the next 12 months.
do me and yourself a favour, lower it exponentially especially then maybe you'll be surprised.

Oh yea that Bright memory game looked interesting as well

I'll give this showing a 6/10. Just thought we would see more gameplay instead of trailers....

Are you even quoting the right person? Pay attention....

Yes I am. YOU replied to a post I replied to about exclusives. How was I supposed to know you're not then talking about exclusives when you jumped on that post.

So in fact I stand by my original post.
 
Xbox set expectations and deserves criticism for not only falling short but not even showing up. They made it seem like we were gonna


Xbox is to blame for setting expectations and completely falling short of them. Whether its Xbox, Playstation, or Nintendo, they would all deserve criticism for advertising one thing and delivering another.

Not all criticism is fueled by childish fanboy wars, sometimes things are simply shit.
dude... chill, these were cross gen games... not next gen exclusives, not even first party lol was expecting more triple A games, but whatever, inside xbox was never that good in revealing big bombastic content anyway, but at least 120FPS will be a thing, DIRT 5 will have a 120Hz option mode

Lmao, people all over the web are ripping Xbox a new one. I thought it was a pretty decent showing. Oh what the hell, back to current gen 🤣
 
Yeah I did too, but it's too bad all the Sony fans trolling in here didn't enjoy it. I'm sure if this had been a Sony presentation they'd be ecstatic about it.

at least we got to see something.. not only the console itself and everything that's inside of it, but actual games. don't know why people complain. better than absolute silence or not showing anything at all
 
I liked a lot of what I saw. Some promising cross-gen titles there. This didn't let me down. Saw a few great looking games today

Next games showcase is Sony in June, correct? Time to start counting down again. more games, more games, this is awesome

Microsoft are so far behind, they can't afford to drop the ball even once

But here we are

I smell your agenda from a mile away.

I don't have to think now, I'll wait for the evidence

If they are just as bad, I'll call them out

Sure you will. Sure.

Actual title of the livestream: "Inside Xbox Presents First Look Xbox Series X Gameplay "

If the whole point is to show us next-gen gameplay, then what was shown is most definitely not it. Could have had something that looked as impressive as Ryse: Son of Rome or a Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2 but nope, here are some trailers for games that could have launched on Steam last year or the year before.


Dude, MS will just update the title to "Inside Xbox episode x" where they accidentally showed Yakuza, Madden and Assassins Creed.
 
About what I expected but... was it my stream sucking or did the framerate look kinda suspect in several of those trailers? Slowdown galore, which doesn't really bode well for the current state of development on the SX/
 
Fairly underwhelming. Should have show gameplay footage if you are promising that. In game engine footage is not gameplay. This felt like a CGI fest, some games had a glimpse of gameplay but that's all, a glimpse.

Pros
- I like the new boot up (understated)
- Smart Delivery is a big plus (Cross Buy is always awesome) Would like to know if you bought AssCreed on Xbox one is there a deadline to redeem the Xbox Series X version say in two years time when upgrading.
- Bright Memory Infinite (I'll be keeping an eye on this. Battlefield vibes with a bit of Dishonoured as well)
- The Ascent looks interesting (a cannon fodder game in Space)
- The Medium (psychological horror) is the biggest one to me that I didn't know of that I wanted.
- Yakuza giving Xbox parity with Playstation (day one game)
- Chorvs (space shooter) looks good. Would like to get my hands on a demo first but I'm open to it.
-Call of the Sea (1st person island survival)
- Second Extinction (not Turok, but likely Turok)


Cons
- Gameplay is not in-game footage. Valhalla was a waste as the painting reveal.
- World Premiere shit needs to go. Just fuck off, like.
- CGI or in-game footage (non gameplay). I lose interest as Watch Dogs burned me before on waiting for Next Gen. I want to see the leap in gameplay and see a glimpse of what power this new console has.

Overall Aaron I wouldn't take the Summer off with this showing. No reason to go Next Gen so far. I'm contemplating holding off on getting a PS5 based on this. I'll revisit it later but meh.

I'd say Phil Spencer was smart to not be in this one. I feel the first party reveal will be the big one. Maybe should have shown one of the first party with gameplay (or put a spotlight on a third party with gameplay). Any third party game with extensive gameplay footage would have killed today.

I promise I'm chill lol, I'm doped up on pain meds after having a shoulder surgery yesterday. I thought my post was well typed out without sounding as if I'm kicking and screaming. I'm mainly a PC gamer but was excited to see what they'd have cause I assume all these will be on PC.

But again they advertised one thing and delivered another, simple as that, does that mean I'm boycotting Xbox products or gonna troll their Twitter account, absolutely not, just wish we would've gotten Valhalla gameplay like THEY advertised.
 
I was expecting boring interviews, well at least half of the content was trailers.
Some games are looking promising.

I don't understand why so much are disappointed.
Next gen will have better visuals and frame rates and worlds will be bigger.
It will be a follow up of this gen (which was a follow up of last gen etc)
The jump is equivalent as last gen to this gen.
Games won't take full advantage of next gen until 2 to 3 years.

Maybe it's my age or something, all I saw was pretty and that's all I wanted.

+1

Sure you will. Sure.

There's no agenda, 97% people agree with me

I was actually looking forward to Xbox swaying me this gen
 
Yeah i don't know what some people were expecting. Are you expecting 3rd party games to look better on PS5? They won't. I saw a lot of interesting looking games. A few stood out visually. that giger horror game, dirt looked great, Ass creed I'm sure will look amazing (based on how gameplay looks from the previous games). I still need time to digest the others. There were more horror games then i was expecting.
 
Yeah, can't think of anything more miserable and toxic than not enjoying that Microsoft event, I bet these people don't enjoy every movie they see either!

Cover up your bias its showing and its exposing you. Everyone is shiting on these games because they are on a MS show no other reason, you know it and every other fan boy in here as well. The truly hilarious thing is these are multiplat games you will be able to play on the PS5, but its cooler to shit on them. It reeks of just miserable people that can't be satisfied with anything.

And what a surprise the Mod pulls a Hudini once again when its a true shitshow in another Xbox related thread that gets trolled. Its like they pretend not to see this coming from 1000 miles away.
 
Yeah I did too, but it's too bad all the Sony fans trolling in here didn't enjoy it. I'm sure if this had been a Sony presentation they'd be ecstatic about it.

They showcased a game that already released on PS4 months ago as if it was a big deal.

Think about that for a second.
 
It may be not next next gen but guys this is the beginning of a new era and i absorb all the footage good or bad and be happy about it
We had a rough 2 years in a row and i feel we will be treated like royals this year.
 
You saw gameplay. You did not see gameplay for every game. They never promised gameplay for every game.

Really? I saw gameplay of ONE game, the first. Nothing else.
Its my fault they cant communicate ? Read some other comments too and you ll understand what everyone expected in relation to what MS delivered

Yeah I liked a lot of what I saw too. Medium looks interesting so does Vampire the Masquerade. I want to see more of Chorus I thnik it's called and Valhalla looks amazing gameplay or no. Besides we already KNOW what the gameplay is in an AssCreed game.
 
I THINK they should have showed/revealed the Mortal Kombat DLC and showed recorded matches running on Xbox series x. They should have done something like that with a bunch of games. I mean I get it that a majority was indie developer, and smaller third party partners outside a few. But feels like they could have had pre=recorded gameplay with all xbox sereis x whistles on it, then had people talk about it. Like a recording of Dirt race, and shown people like Digital Foundry going over it.

When you say first look at next gen, I think even with tempered expectations there some expectation you'll see something you didn't know about either it be the game or something about the system.

This was not a good look.

Hope Sony doesn't have similar issues in their event, if they do, its going to be rough pill to swallow for next gen.

Who's shitting on the games? It was a bad show with very little gameplay, nothing looked next gen. That's what I said, which part of that is shitting on any of the games?
 
Yes no one cares about gameplay 🙄 because I sit and watch my games I don't play them. This has to be a joke post
1. A lot of people watch and don't play anymore today.
2. If you don't watch your games, why would you want to watch gameplay and not play the game. E.g a demo?


People always bring arguments, that don't make any sense.
I just want to know stuff about a game. And if you don't know a game, a trailer and name is the first thing you need.
 
The event was awful. most games seem to be cross-gen, we barely saw any gameplay for many of them. Only one that looked pretty good from a tecnhical standpoint, was Bright Memory, but still, it wasnt anything that impressive.
 
Not the worst showing ever if you just had every game trailer play one after another there was maybes 20 mins of games in total. It looks like that this upcoming gen is going to be more of the same.

Bloodlines 2 is one of my most anticipated games. My only issue with the trailer is some of it looks really sharp and next-gen-ish but other parts look noticeably lower rez (the victim dancing in the club looks worse than the goons you beat up outside, for example, almost like this trailer showed different versions of the game at once)

Anything good or unexpected get announced?

Any handy list I could look at?

I don't have a list but all the trailers have threads on the first page of Gaming section, easy to scroll through.

Thanks Bullet Club Bullet Club for putting them all up

Bright Memory Infinite and Scarlet Nexus stood out to me, Dirt 5 looked really good

Try not to get so emotional. It's just games man. Lol
 
I voted 'C' on Keighley's Twitter poll. Reason being that I wanted to see AC Valhalla gameplay, and they talked about it saying it was gameplay, but it wasn't at all. If they had even 5secs of actual footage from the game the show would have garnered a 'B' rating and pretty much fulfilled my expectations.
