All the justification i'm seeing for giving this a A is because of gamepass lol

I mentioned it somewhere else and it was seen as hate, but honestly some of the textures on the houses are very low, physics of the the water are also not really next gen, among other things. Will wait for DFs analysis.

Yeah, I said that Forza Horizon 5 was the star of this show but I think I have to change it to Gamepass, it's crazy how much content they're pouring in going forward, feels like every single game they showed ended with the day 1 on Gamepass logo!
Just installed and started playing Yakuza Like a Dragon btw

For me ending on Red Fall would of had more impact if it was shown like back4blood. Trailer with mixed in snipets of gameplay.

Phew, thank god you found the time to post your boiling hot take on the show though. I don't know what we would have done without it.

I gave it a D but OP is too much of a biased fanboy to even allow the grad it truly deserved: F-
why? No mention of Fallout 3 and New Vegas Remasters.
MS did me dirty and I will not forgive them.

The conference would definitely have been improved if there'd been a cinematic third person adventure featuring a sassy-yet-haunted white male protagonist and a feisty-yet-not-too-feisty girl sidekick going on an adventure where they press X to push button.I know it's shit, but at least is free* shit... A+
I guess the free shit will have to suffice.

Plagues tale 2 isn't an exclusive is it? i Thought the first was so much better than it had the right to be. Amazing graphics and vibe. Looking forward to the sequel. It wasn't gamepass day one was it?
As a Game Pass sub, an A+. Overall, like a B. Games shown were fantastic imo, plenty of nice gameplay. Lots of release dates revealed. SoT collab was awesome.
Had there been less leaking prior and if there was a megaton like an acquisition or Kojima if you're into that, it would've elevated it to A or 2018 levels, but it was still a fantastic showcase.

They have a better slate of games than they've had in some time. Game Pass continues to increase in value. They have big games coming that I want to play. Forza Horizon 5, Halo, Stalker 2, Starfield all look great. This conference just confirmed what I already knew which is MS is on an upward trajectory.

Quite mediocre show giving it a C.
Starfield again was a whole lot of nothing.
Hellblade 2 is long ways a way like I suspected.
Russian apocalyptic ballet was prob best thing in the show.
A gunk copy where you shoot balls instead of squirting.
2 identical zombie/vampire co-op games.
Forza Horizon 5 looked very bland.
Didn't really dare to show Halo.
Pretty much what I can remember from the show.

People in here acting like for a horizon isn't on par with Horizon forbidden west for graphics and next gen ness. Just put horizon in your title and you winning.
forza was fucking insane.

Great show! Best Xbox showcase since it's 360 days! Notice how most AAA 2022 release dates are Series X/S exclusives! No cross gen! I'm excited! Xbox finally stepped it's game up! Give me The Ascent, Flight Sim, Halo Infinite, Starfield, Redfall, Outer Worlds 2! And many more! Xbox is back!

It's listed as game pass day one here:
Not listed for PS5 in the trailer but could still be multiplat.

This was not what they needed, still nothing that shows why XSX is supposed to be the worlds most powerful gaming console. We are already playing games on PS5 that look better than anything MS showed today, I have both the PS5 and XSX and I still haven't seen anything I have to have on XSX. You can throw game pass up at people all you want but if the games on the service don't actually appeal to me where's the value? The Ascent still looks great but it's only a timed exclusive, I will be playing it on XSX because it's coming to it first but if it's good I'll buy it on PS5 when it launches there too just to help support the developer.

free*
* actually costing $180 per year which for the duration of a console lifecycle amounts to around $1000+, so yeah, free basically

It is day 1 on Game Pass. I'm pretty sure it's multiplat and releasing on PlayStation the same time as Xbox.

Is it? In what way?
He's explaining that the games are not 'free'. We know. Everyone who pays for Gamepass is aware that it is a paid service. That's how subscription services work. As in - all of them.
Do you really need that explained?

This year is a wash for me Xbox-wise. I will try out Flight Simulator but I don't see plying it long-term. Same goes for Halo. I'm not big onto MP, nor racing, so I think I am left out as a gamer this year as far as new 1st party games. I'm hyped for Avowed, Fable, ES6, Outer Worlds 2 and Starfield but nothing else looks good. What have they been working on for the last 5 years other than churning out another Gears and Forza?

Severe lack of 2021 games
The most anticipated game, Starfield, fell extremely flat and is nowhere near release
Lots of CG trailers again for games clearly just starting development.
Padding the run time with Yakuza gamepass announcement?
No acquisitions or major wins. What happened to the big Kojima game that was hyped up? Where were the 3 acquisitions?
STALKER 2 and Forza Horizon looked good. What Forza Horizon showed is the sort of presentation I was expecting for Fable, Avowed, Hellblade 2, Perfect Dark etc. Yet they weren't even there
MS really needs to get away from all this CG nonsense. Down to outright mocking themselves without realising it in that Outer Worlds 2 trailer. They even ended it on a way too long CG trailer
For what was hyped as the big blow out of Xbox future it was a total disappointment.

Needs more sass. Maybe if he could refer to the protagonist as 'slim' or 'champ', and possibly wear a pair of aviator sunglasses I'd relate more.BB best sidekick

This Halo MP trailer did less for me than the last campaign trailer.
For sifi MP shooter current gen Destiny still looks hotter to me.
Something about everyone in very similar looking Halo armor is boring to me.
Starfield has my interest. But still no idea of gameplay. Makes me think there is zero chance it ships next year.
I guess the best we can keep saying about Microsoft is at least we don't have to pay (much) for these games.

Just at a glance there are seven games in 2021 I would have bought for sure that I won't need to because they will be on GP day one, and I'm not counting Forza since I buy the ultimate edition anyway. That's just absurd value for a 12.99€ sub.

7.0/10 at best.
Stalker 2 looked great. All in with Plague Tale Requiem. Halo Infinite looks much better based on the MP they showed but would have liked to seen the upgraded campaign. Showed more gameplay than last year and was overall better than last year but since 2013, this year is my 5th or so ranked Xbox showcase. Game Pass is great but when they say every game or how many games will be on Game Pass, it's mostly AA/Indie games which I have almost no interest in at all. The Ascent looks great and that's day one. Redfall has my interest but disappointed that there was no gameplay. Contraband sounds for me but need to see gameplay first. Best game of the showcase for me was Far Cry 6. It is what it is though.
