I’m not going to vote because I only watched the PlayStation one, and that one was mediocre, so that ain’t it.
I tried but I don't see the option for it anymore... maybe it's not possible after making the thread or something?Can you make the poll public? So we can see who voted for Sony
To be fair the games in bold are also on Playstation then again some of them are coming to Game Pass so I'd say that's a win for Xbox.Avowed
Clockwork Redemption
Like A Dragon 8
Metaphor
Path of the Godess
Persona 3R
Persona 5T
Statfield
Eight games that I am interested in. Xbox showcase was the one worth watching the most.
I missed Ubisoft, and Capcom shows.
Ubisoft
Also, lol at combining the Xbox Showcase and Starfield Direct as if they didn't officially separate them with "after the Xbox Showcase".
Yeah that was my very first impression overall but then I decided to rethink what I should've been expecting. Precisely because Xbox announced those games years ago, I wasn't expecting them to show anything completely new, I just wanted to see what they actually looked like and confirmation that they would be coming soon-ish.PlayStation Showcase was abysmal and so disappointing
Xbox showcase was so overrated. They literally just showed games that were all already announced 4 years ago lol. We all knew these were in development for a while there were no surprises and besides Starfield no rock solid gameplay. And even with that people falling for the Todd Howard Salesmanship.
Honestly everything sucked.
Jesus…talk about favoring one side of your poll. . My god man, post a poll and stfu. Let people make their own decisions without your passive aggressiveness.To be fair the games in bold are also on Playstation then again some of them are coming to Game Pass so I'd say that's a win for Xbox.
I already covered that (literally about 3 comments up, just use your scroll wheel?). My argument is that the Spiderman 2 showing at the end of the Playstation showcase is for, all intents and purposes, the exact same thing. It's not my fault that what they showed of Spiderman 2 was just boring and didn't really tell us anything we didn't already know/expect.Also, how are you gonna ask which showcase was the best (singular), and then combine the Xbox and Starfield showcases together? Microsoft clearly stated they were separate. I wonder who you are favoring
What are you even talking about?Jesus…talk about favoring one side of your poll. . My god man, post a poll and stfu. Let people make their own decisions without your passive aggressiveness.
The saddest part is your use of “to be fair” here, and then the italics on “some” .
Yeah I actually decided to give them more points for putting people on stage with super thick French accents. Part of the "experience" of a Ubisoft conference is trying to work out WTF they're saying.Ubisoft was the best. They had an actor embarassing himself on stage, musicians playing live for Skulls and bones they had game trailer of course, dev talking but the best and most importantly showed the gameplay. Mirage, Lost crow, Avatar, Outlaws. Their show was like E3 I enjoyed it the most. Rest were poor IMO.
I don’t make threads just to shit on one side or the other, but okay, keep on with your guilty conscience. “It’s my thread I can do whatever I want”. This, this right here is why people can’t take a lot of you serious on Gaf.I already covered that (literally about 3 comments up, just use your scroll wheel?).

If you don't like that argument then tell me why, don't just be a shithead about it.
Also:
What are you even talking about?
I swear you're reading into shit way too much. People have made their own decision (I chose Ubisoft but almost everyone else chose Xbox). People are also free to choose Playstation.
(Besides, it's my thread I can do whatever I want. Make your own thread if you're so offended)
Not sure which "side" you think I'm on but I've been shitting on Xbox for years and now I'm finally being positive about Xbox. That has to be the definition of "oh yes this person doesn't really have a side".
Beautifully said. Xbox had to bring the goods and in my opinion they brought it in spades, with a couple of missteps like failing to show Hellblade 2 core gameplay. But still, I could notI really can't remember when one party won so decisively as Xbox did this year. Looks like the poll backs that up.
To some extent this is because the others ceded it to them.
But Xbox had the most to lose. They're coming off a really bad couple years. Once Halo Infinite fizzled it's been nothing but delays and vast open spaces in the schedule, with small rays of light like Pentiment and Hi-Fi Rush insufficient to distract from the high profile failure of Redfall.
- Sony clearly held back, and treated it more like a Nintendo direct than a real hype event. I don't doubt that they have some incredible games in the pipe, as they always do, but this was a conference of B-tier clones and cookie cutter bullshit followed by a presentation for Spider-Man that, while excellent, was no more or less than exactly what was expected.
- Summer Game Fest was better than in years past but still not even a fraction of what we would expect from the E3 of old.
- Ubisoft brought some heat, and very much treated it like an E3 conference. Some strong showings, but a single dev conference is still not going to compete with a big tent.
- Capcom, lol whut
And they pulled it off. They showed how all these acquisitions are going to pay off, how the drought is over and this fall marks the beginning of a string of high profile releases. They showed the value of Game Pass in a big way with some of the third party partnerships. Atlus/Sega showed a ton of great stuff.
And most importantly they showed that all the delays for Starfield are going to be worth it. That they weren't trying to salvage a broken game, that they were taking time to polish a potential game of the generation to perfection. We saw how graphics and combat and systems had been overhauled and upgraded and the game looks just incredible. Starfield has completely stolen the post conference conversation.
To be fair the games in bold are also on Playstation then again some of them are coming to Game Pass so I'd say that's a win for Xbox.
Not trying to be difficult, I still don't understand what you mean here. Which side exactly am I shitting on? Can you give me something specific about what you don't like about what I've said?I don’t make threads just to shit on one side or the other, but okay, keep on with your guilty conscience. “It’s my thread I can do whatever I want”. This, this right here is why people can’t take a lot of you serious on Gaf.
To add, I thought PlayStations show was ass, and Spider-Man has absolutely no appeal to me whatsoever. Microsoft had a solid showing as far as Xbox goes, and the Starfield show was great if you’ve been looking forward to Starfield….but I also know they were two different conferences.
To be honest, I’m not sure. This was a while ago now and I have no intention of reading all the way back through the thread to put together a response.Not trying to be difficult, I still don't understand what you mean here.

Finally, I disagree that they were two separate conferences. I understand why you're saying they were separate conferences but still:
It was advertised as one package even if they say "immediately following". It doesn't matter. It's semantics. Starfield was part of the Xbox showcase.
I'll quote Phil Spencer word-for-word for what he says at the end of the Xbox Showcase:
"And now for the "one more thing" you've all been waiting for. Prepare the most comprehensive deep-dive we've ever done for the biggest game we've ever built. So sit tight, and enjoy, Starfield Direct."
There's no way two ways about this. It was part of the Xbox showcase. The Xbox showcase itself ended with basically a wet fart precisely because they didn't want to detract from the Starfield segment. They can call it a "Starfield Direct" all they like but it was a deep-dive on Starfield as part of the Xbox showcase, designed to round out the Xbox showcase.
Jim Ryan could have said right at the end of the PS event "OK folks, sit back and watch... Spider-Man 2 Direct..." and I'd say "no it was part of the Playstation showcase".
If you don't like that then........... ok cool.
To be honest, I’m not sure. This was a while ago now and I have no intention of reading all the way back through the thread to put together a response.
For a second I was kiiiinda hoping that Xbox would totally fuck it up so that we could see if the resident Xbox fans here would actually be negative for once. I've seen Sony fanboys do a 180 and go for Jim Ryan's throat but I don't think I've ever seen the same from Xbox fanboys.I'm proud of GAF for getting this one right.
Wouldn’t surprise me really. I had a terrible week last week with some serious personal situations and I was probably just lashing out at everyone on here for everything. If so, I apologize and meant no offense by it. Gaf is my therapy sometimes lol
I'll just assume/hope you misread what I wrote and that we were probably on the same side all along or something.
No worries, if I was able to assist in your relax-inducing outburst then I guess it wasn't a complete waste of time.Wouldn’t surprise me really.

Microsoft owns Bethesda and made it clear it was part of the showcase by segwaying straight into it at the end of the XSS announcement. I get you didn't want Microsoft to have a good conference, but this a really bad way to try and downplay it.Also, how are you gonna ask which showcase was the best (singular), and then combine the Xbox and Starfield showcases together?

I’ve already discussed this with the person who I was talking to, no need to bring back posts from a week ago.Microsoft owns Bethesda and made it clear it was part of the showcase by segwaying straight into it at the end of the XSS announcement.

No the pun was intended lol.I presume you mean segueing.
Although I loved the mental image of Phil and Todd scooting between presentations
