Arkane

typical, grabs you with something epic, disappoints for 1 hour, shows forza, halo and cinematic trailers with no gameplay and at the end shows a game that won't be ready for 3 years.
 
Strange choice to close out the show, but I'm interested in it nonetheless. Overall, I really enjoyed the show for the most part. Forza Horizon 5 was my personal favourite game shown, looked absolutely fantastic and I love that series.
 
Again with this banter and smart ass remarks during combat making things seem like a joke rather than people really fighting for their lives.

The STALKER trailer was a refreshing change of pace from that format above.

Don't care about Forza or cars much. But solid conference and majority of it on Game Pass so that's nice. I think they should have ended on halo.
 
Overall a so-so show. Really the highlight was STALKER. Everything else of note for me seemed to just be 2 minute clips (i.e. Starfield) or brief teasers like The Outer Worlds 2. Didn't much care for that last CG from Arkane. They did manage to really drive home the value of game pass though.
 
STALKER 2 was the highlight. Will buy on my PS5. Another disappointing show from Microsoft.

I cant fucking believe they didnt show Halo single player again.. No Hellblade 2.

5/10
 
That was such a bad conference, literally full of fps and co-op party shooters.

Such a shame, once again I was hoping for something good from the bottom of my heart.

Sony and Nintendo will be the market leaders for years to come.
 
GT isn't a system seller. Not anymore since the market is saturated with Top quality simulators now.

Forza being one.

Only exciting game for me in this how was Starfield and we got a 20fps trailer.

Halo Inifinite still looks average.
Mindshare. If this were Sony praises. MS average or trash. I am impartial because I want some competition this generation before Sony coverts back to shitty arrogant Sony. We already are seeing the signs.
 
I've loved all of Arkane's stuff so I'll give Redfall the benefit of the doubt. But it didn't really look super interesting imo. Definitely not something that should have been the final announcement imo.

They are really ending with this?

Well FH5 looked good at least.

Rest of the show did absolutely nothing for me.

Cannot believe they still have nothing to show of Hellblade 2.
 
This show was good overall, Forza Horizon 5 looks cool. I would give it an 8/10.

More exciting games are still years away. Not enough gameplay. The last announcement was a CG cinematic trailer.
I would say that is a fair score maybe an 8.5. For Microsoft Xbox fanboys its prob a 10/10 because this show has been miles ahead of alot of past shows.
 
It looked great, but lifeless like most of these racing or open world racing games. No fauna, and cities are abandoned when you arrive to them. Just vistas and cars.
Yeah, no interest from me on this one, but I know some people love it. I have a friend who loves all the Forza games and I don't get it. I'm not into GT either. I just think they all look fine.

Again, it was ok, but MS still just doesn't "get it" IMO. No creativity on display, no real charm. Just a bunch of realistic murder simulators, racing game ... and a bunch of games that will also be available elsewhere. Starfield is basically a year and a half away.

Replaced was by far the best thing they showed IMO because it looks different (even if it stole it's style from The Last Night, but where is that game??). I will likely get that. But the rest is a by the numbers snooze fest for me.
 
The games that I wanted are coming to PS anyway (namely Hades and Eiyuden Chronicles) soooo... 🤷
