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.

 

[Labadal]

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.

 

[RavenSan]

It's an A for me easy. Yeah some missing things (Fable) but like 80% of the games looked awesome. Easily the best showcase of SGF.

 

[VanCityGamer]

It was solid, but definitely disappointing.

 

[Hollowpoint5557]

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

 

[Ass of Can Whooping]

didn't watch, anything good?

Anyway i'll give it an F

 

[Plies]

D for Did not watch

 

[xrnzaaas]

Ffs no Forza. So it's not releasing this year. :/

 

[Tg89]

D. Pretty mid.

Meat Boy was cool.

 

[March Climber]

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.

[Ishma3L]

F for Fuck.

 

[Dacvak]

Solid B.

Take your victory lap, adamsapple

 

[TintoConCasera]

Giving it a B for actually showing some new and cool games I want to play.

 

[HRK69]

Just terrible

 

[TexMex]

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!

 

[tusharngf]

Solid A

 

[Knightime_X]

Outside of Meatboy 3d and NG4, nothing I'm interested in that I don't already have, or want.
E for Eh

 

[diffusionx]

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.

 

[Sephimoth]

D

Started with some decent games and looked promising.
Then turned to shit

 

[Banjo64]

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.

 

[KaiserBecks]

No Gears, no Fable, no Perfect Dark. Wtf.
But I'm interested in that handheld though.

 

[Sebastian1295]

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!

 

[R6Rider]

D. No Fable, No Perfect Dark and worst of all....ending on fucking CoD.

 

[Senua]

C or D. Clockwork revolution looked cool.

Gaming is in a shit place, confirmed

 

[R3TRO]

Solid B

 

[Rentahamster]

It was alright, I guess.

 

[POKEYCLYDE]

Several surprise announcements. A bunch that I'm personally hyped for. Leaning A to A-

Meatboy and Grounded a personal highs for me.

 

[Ass of Can Whooping]

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!

COD was their one last thing?

LMAO

 

[LavitzSlambert]

I'm in for sure:

Super Meat Boy 3D
P4R
Gears

Interested:
High on Life 2
Ninja Gaiden 4
Indie DLC
Beast of Reincarnation (skeptical, Game Freak???)
Cronos
Aphelion
Mudang: Two Hearts
Keeper
Clockwork Revolution

 

[adamsapple]

Nothing but A, baby.

My ranking of the SGF window shows:

REIX reveal > Xbox Showcase > SGF show itself

 

[Oberstein]

 

[FoxMcChief]

It's a B for me.

 

[DanielG165]

Solid B.

 

[roosnam1980]

A
good show for xbox/gamepass fans

 

[Dane]

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.

 

[Aion002]

A.

Age of Mythology dlc, Clockwork, Mudang, new Plague Tale and the Xbox portable got my interest.

 

[Magic Carpet]

Lots of games. But the stream I watched was horrible quality.
C- Would be a B if It had better quality.

 

[Lokaum D+]

better than Slop Game Fest and worse than SoP

so, its C

 

[acm2000]

B because they didn't show fable

 

[YCoCg]

C for me.

 

[Thief1987]

Pretty boring, nothing interesting were shown

 

[demigod]

F, that was fucking terrible. Aaron Greenturd was right. The only noticeable game was Beast of Reincarnation and Mudang.

 

[analog_future]

Nothing but A, baby.

My ranking of the SGF window shows:

REIX reveal > Xbox Showcase > SGF show itself

RE 9 was definitely the highlight of all of the showcases for me, yeah

 

[Timberwolf25]

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.

 

[Pasta la Vista]

B from me, had 3 games I'm interested in.

 

[Sweden85]

C or D Super Meat Boy 3D looks fun, otherwise kinda boring.

 

[jm89]

Solid D.

 

[Antwix]

Voted A for the simple fact that they started actually marketing Play Anywhere


bunch of good looking games too

 

[Elios83]

Greenberg warned you guys

 

[bender]

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.
