It's a "B" for me. Good show but didn't hit the same highs as last year. No Gears, Fable, or Perfect Dark was a surprise.

That was a great State of Play.

A solid B for The Clockwork Revolution, (hopefully) The Outer Worlds 2, Ninja Gaiden 4, and Persona 4R, and Beast of Reincarnation.

This was easily the worst show I have ever watched, not just from Xbox, but any media at all. My girlfriend made me watch The Beautician and the Beast last weekend and that was better than this. I had skin cancer a while ago and lost a part of my nose because of it and thanks to gorilla-strength painkillers I'd rate that a more pleasurable experience. Soy-beta-zoomer games are not it man. Enough with purple, enough with cartoon graphics, enough with casual focus. Give me bloods, guts, and ass. Xbox is completely lost and hopeless like a rudderless ship lost at sea
 
Xbox gets an A.

Sony brought the east with a sprinkle of the west, and now Xbox brought the west with a sprinkle of the east. Perfectly balanced.

Both had a great selection of reveals and games this year.

Notable games:

  • High on Life 2 (Reveal)
  • Resonance A Plague Tale Legacy (Reveal)
  • Xbox Portables Reveal
  • The Blood of Dawnwalker (Gameplay reveal)
  • Super Meatboy 3D (Reveal with gameplay)
  • Ninja Gaiden 4 (New gameplay footage, speed seems faster)
  • Indiana Jones DLC (Reveal with gameplay sneak peek, Sept 4th, 2025)
  • Beast of Reincarnation (Reveal with gameplay)
  • Clockwork Revolution (Gameplay reveal)
  • Grounded 2 (Reveal with gameplay, July 29th, 2025)
  • Cronos The New Dawn (Gameplay reveal)
  • Aphelion (Reveal with gameplay)
  • There are no Ghosts at the Grand (Reveal with gameplay and story)
  • Age of Mythology Retold Heavenly Spear (Reveal with gameplay)
  • Mudang Two Hearts (Reveal with gameplay)
  • Planet of Lana 2 (Reveal with gameplay)

Giving it a B for actually showing some new and cool games I want to play.
 
I cannot believe they ended on Call of Duty. One. More. Thing.

MADDEN 26

This shit comes out EVERY year. You ended on fucking Call of Duty? Yeah we know guys!
 
Outside of Meatboy 3d and NG4, nothing I'm interested in that I don't already have, or want.
E for Eh

Not very good. I'll check out P4R and happy that Xbros can play FF7 now but that's about it. There is something about these MS games that I just find unappealing, like something in the production and the way they're presented.

And it is fair to say that Fable, Perfect Dark, and maybe Gears E-Day are in big trouble.
 
Big E.

No Fable.

No Perfect Dark.

No Everwild.

No Gears E-Day.

No MCC on PS5 or Switch.

Show started ok and progressively got worse until they climaxed in an orgy of terror by closing the show with CoD Black Ops 7.
 
My jaw hit the floor when they said 'We got one final game for you' because i realized that they weren't showing Fable, nor Perfect Dark. Those games have to be in development hell at this juncture because otherwise WTH is going on???? TERRIBLE SHOW!

Nothing but A, baby.

My ranking of the SGF window shows:

REIX reveal > Xbox Showcase > SGF show itself
 
B-, lots of good stuff, but there was padding and oddly why Persona 4 Revival and Black Ops 7 had trailers for anything but gameplay, it even feels that P4R is far away.
 
F, that was fucking terrible. Aaron Greenturd was right. The only noticeable game was Beast of Reincarnation and Mudang.
 
Gave it a B, but would've been a B- or C+ if the option was available. Started great, but some of the reveals in the middle brought it down, raised it up again near the end.
 
Voted A for the simple fact that they started actually marketing Play Anywhere


bunch of good looking games too
 
Pretty good. I'm interested in Ninja Gaiden 4, Korean Splinter Cell, Turtles in THPS, and Double Fine's Keeper. And too a lesser extent Clockwork and P4R.
