Some pretty good announcements, especially for Game Pass subs.

 

[Lionel Richie]

Why/10.

 

[Topher]

Gave it a C. It was ok

 

[HRK69]

 

[Dacvak]

There was an Xbox partner preview?

 

[Mr Moose]

Didn't know it already happened.
Looking at that list, didn't miss anything.
Dispatch wasn't on Xbox?

 

[adamsapple]

And of course I forgot to make voting public.

 

[The_hunter]

Osiris looking decent.

 

[RoboFu]

You do not have anything lower than a F?

 

[Ceallach]

F because I'm deployed and can't stream any video so IDK what happened

 

[touchfuzzy]

Rated G for

 

[Darsxx82]

Lots of games, new announcements, Play Anywhere, big Game Pass announcements, lots of interesting stuff... and a Goldman demo!!

Solid B for a third-party partner and indie game event.

 

[March Climber]

(Pasted from the main thread)

This was actually quite a bit for just a partner preview show.

Solid B. No 'one last thing' but again that's not really a partner preview thing to do.

Games of note:

• Hunter The Reckoning: Deathwish (reveal)
• Wuthering Waves (port)
• The Expanse: Osiris Reborn (gameplay reveal)
• Grave seasons (more gameplay shown)
• Serious Sam Shatterverse (new reveal with gameplay)
• Stranger than Heaven (new gameplay shown)
• Super Meat Boy 3D (new gameplay shown)
• Forever Ago (new gameplay shown)
• Ascend to Zero (more gameplay shown)
• Dispatch (port)

• Moosa: Dirty Fate (reveal with gameplay)
• The Eternal Life of Goldman (new gameplay shown)
• Vaunted (reveal with gameplay)
• Hades 2 (port)
• Artificial Detective (reveal with target gameplay)

8 new reveals and mostly gameplay shown.

 

[intbal]

Most of the stuff was new to me. That's always good for a show. So I gave it a B, even though I didn't care about most of them.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

There was an Xbox partner preview?

Evidently a lot of other people didn't because when I tune then there was about 36,000 viewers watching. I don't know if it's a fair comparison but some of the Sony shows have hundreds of thousands

 

[Gamer_By_Proxy]

I might get stranger than heaven, expanse, and eternal life of goldman. Didn't see much else. Maybe some of those 2027 games, but with no gameplay it doesn't move the needle for me yet.

 

[Gonzito]

Average

 

[GrayChild]

Xbox is back, better than ever!

 

[Danjin44]

Solid B it show nice variety of games even tho the only I care about is....

 

[adamsapple]

Xbox is back, better than ever!

Hear you.

 

[II_JumPeR_I]

That was bad

 

[Dr. Samuel Hayden]

F-

 

[Aion002]

B.

It was cool. Lots of gamepass games.


The best things for me: Wuwa on Xbox with gamepass benefits is nice, Stranger than Heaven seems awesome, Hades 2 on gamepass is great and the Artificial Detective game might be cool.


However, that Korean game disappointed me a lot, at the start of the trailer I thought that it was going to be a zombie game inspired by the netflix series Kingdom, but then ended up looking like a uninspired action game.

 

[Hudo]

These partner directs, no matter from whom, need to fucking die. Big third-parties like Sega either need to do their own marketing or appear in the "main" directs. And indies benefit more from giving them special advertisement on the storefronts of the respective platform holders, imho.

That being said, nice to see some gameplay of Stranger Than Heaven and The Expanse: Mass Effect

 

[AJUMP23]

Average. Some things to like some things to ignore.

 

[begotten]

And of course I forgot to make voting public.

It's okay I got you:

D - Everyone else

 

[Imtjnotu]

people saying xbox is back

this gave me no hype for xbox this year or next

 

[cireza]

There is not a single game that caught my attention.

 

[Magic Carpet]

There was an xbox something going on today? I completely missed whatever it was.

 

[vaibhavpisal]

Much better than I was expecting.

Too many games, a lot on gamepass.

Its firing on all cylinders TBH (After the ludicrous price hike).

Happy to be a subscriber.

 

[adamsapple]

This was very specifically a third party stream.

 

[DeVeAn]

Even though the content was C, Xbox has the best format. No stupid nasal voice like Nintendo. Everything felt well paced. Now they just need the games to be at the show.

 

[MiguelItUp]

D, a bunch of stuff we already knew was coming, and a couple of things that made me go "neat", but nothing that was particularly exciting to me honestly.

 

[Skifi28]

Hear you /10

 

[EchoByte]

C because I forgot Dispatch skipped Xbox.

 

[willothedog]

You do not have anything lower than a F?

not needed as it's not a PlayStation 'state of play'

 

[salva]

The Expanse coming to Game Pass is huge. I think that's going to be a banger

 

[ShaiKhulud1989]

I'd say not a bad show for games I'll play elsewhere. Plus quite dissapointed in vague 2027 and overall roughness of The Expanse.

 

[RPS37]

C. Nothing earth-shattering. Osiris looks aight. Not paying for the beta tho.
Happy they brought Goldman to my attention.
