Fantastic show. Xbox One X on day one for me. Tons of great games coming. OG Xbox back compatibility is incredible. Please don't let Anthem be as shit as Destiny. It looks so damn good.

Ori 2
Life is Strange Prequel
Metro: Exodus
The Artful Escape and The Last Night looked neat
Release date info finally for Cuphead and Tacoma
Aside from those I just got nothing from this =/
A few of the other indies could be neat but they rushed like hell through them
Also it's not for me but the XB1X seems rather pointless, and certainly not worth $500
It was just an equivalent to the PS4 Pro, people got too overhyped if they thought it'd be more than that.
And it's clear that the MS 1st party situation is still just outright dire.

The Anthem Downgrade will be rough
I think MS exclusive games will always be on Windows as well.

Huh? PCs have been more powerful for a long time. Just more expensive up front.

I expected to hear 60fps a lot more.
Is this monster capable of running Forza Horizon 3 at a locked 60fps?

Probably 4/10 in terms of getting me to buy an Xbox , but 7/10 on the games shown. Most of the ones I was interested in are only console launch exclusive so I'll just wait for them elsewhere. Was really hoping for more AAA stuff :/

They should've announced at least one first-party exclusive to close the show. Lack of exclusives continues being their biggest challenge. One X specs at $499.99 is not a bad price, considering the Specs. Not attractive to all demographics of course. For me Metro Exodus was the highlight.

For how long are people going to use this as an excuse I wonder.

No Halo or Gears is just strange to me. A semi new console and your don't show you leading franchises is a mistake.
5/10 disappointing doesn't even begin to describe what i just saw.

Everyone yells about brand loyalty etc etc, yet this gen it switched to just everyone loving Sony no matter what. Was that the best Microsoft Conference ever? No, but they showed a ton of games. Exactly what everyone kept saying from before. They did that. Yet pure disappointment from everyone saying worst conference ever. Interested to see the insane praise after Sony's if it is 'mediocre.'
I'm just pleased that there are some new games coming out. I don't really mind if they're exclusives or not since I have both the PS4 and an OG Xbox One.
I still will rather play on the PS4 or PC, but I thought the constant stream of games at their conference was nice.

Honestly, the best part is that most of the games are coming out this year/early next year. If Sony is full of games with ambiguous release dates, like they tend to do, I won't be impressed.
yeah, nothing here to convince me to buy an xbox.
Crackdown could be okay but that trailer sucked as soon as Terry Crews disappeared & it didn't look much better than 1/2...where was the Cloud powered destruction?

That was a good conference for showing lots of games I want to play, but a bad conference for showing lots of games I want to/have to play on an Xbox.

Nothing really wow'd me apart from Anthem and Metro reveal. Forza 7 looked poor, just like a higher res'd version of Forza 6.
Crackdown 3 didn't show the one thing they were putting out for the game which was destruction. It looked so limited.
Assassin's Creed: Origins looked janky as hell, I was expecting something much more. Shadow of War didn't look anything different from the original.
Alot of the other titles I had no interest in. Xbox One X looks great and I will get one but the price is just that bit too high to grab one at launch.
With it coming out in November I hope retailers will bundle it with September titles then it might sway me otherwise probably a 2018 purchase.
Edit: Sea of Thieves just isn't grabbing me, looks too slow and limited.

what was up with the graphic at the end with Phil mentioning people get 4K updates for Gears4 and two other games? does this mean they're going to some how charge for updates?
Gdamn.

Looks like a great machine but the 90ish minute presentation was so tiresome.
Didn't have a ton of exclusives to show. They adopted the Sony format of throw a bunch of games at you hoping you don't notice their weak lineup for this year, which was really disappointing. Definitely not sold on the Xbox One X, but the price seems fine for what's some extremely impressive engineering (smallest xbox, like how). Overall a B.
We'll see what Sony's end of year line up looks like, but I'm expecting a bunch of concept trailers and few release dates as usual. Hopefully I'm wrong, and they have a solid 2017 lineup

I wish I could have Xbox one x hardware with Sonys library of games.

I ended up liking a good chunk of games: Forza, Metro: Exodus, Ori 2, that Super Foxy Tales game or whatever it was called, Cuphead (a release date finally), The Last Night. Some quality looking games there.
Unfortunately, the conference still ended up missing the mark for me. No surprises and the XB1X's price point is hilarious. Not to mention the fact that in a presentation talking about new hardware, the most enthusiastic reaction was for OG Xbox BC. Just felt like the whole thing lacked direction and purpose.
But still, I'm looking forward to some of the games.

So I didn't watch all of it, but I did tune in about half way through. Lots of games on display, which I'll give them props for, but I didn't really see anything during the period that I watched to justify a 1X purchase. Maybe it was in part of the show I missed but from what I'm reading here...maybe not?
I dunno, I found parts of what I saw really dull. I also feel like if you are going to roll out "the most powerful console ever" you better knock some socks off with something to showcase that.

Wow, someone in here ranks the conference a 9/10?? Totally entitled to your opinion, but wow.
Was there a single new AAA IP exclusive revealed?
I thought Crackdown 3 looked shockingly poor. And it's coming out this year?? It just got a short trailer.
State of Decay 2 looked fun. Janky, but I'm excited for it. Wish it was this year.
Ori 2 looks awesome. Excited. But when is it coming??
Sea of Thieves does not look like my kind of game. What to do besides hang out with friends? Is there a story? Missions?
Xbox One X $499 USD price means it won't sell well in Canada IMO.
And beyond that, there just wasn't much else to get excited about in terms of exclusives.
I'm stoked for Assassin's Creed, Metro, Life is Strange, Mordor, etc. but they're all multi platform.
6/10 from me.

Could you please list the amount of new exclusives shown for the people who missed them?
The key is to show exclusive games. That's what sells consoles. They showed a ton of great games, but very few were exclusive.

Is Below ever coming out?
Or did it already come out and I missed it?

I'm seriously furious. Second time it happens. Leaves me with a terribly bitter taste in my mouth.
Sea of Thieves looked rough, State of Decay is not for me, Crackdown looked rough (and certainly not like a showcase for the X), and launching their PS4 Pro competitor a year later for 100 more is a bit more than crazy.
I GOTS A BINGO!
(I said I'd implemented the generator in a rather hurried way - probably shouldn't have had both a vague and a specific Forza entry there)

Microsoft's stable of AAA IPs is really weak right now. New IPs are welcome, but there's a Fable sized hole in their basket.
I guess?
