Most of the games will be on PS4 - their odd phrasing clearly means "timed".I'm not cycling back to anything, I like to think I've been consistent. I also am not seeing anything at any angle, that's not how things should be viewed objectively IMO.
The person you quoted doesn't understand that a console exclusive still matters to those who game on consoles. The fact that Planetside 2 was on PC didn't diminish the fact that it was console exclusive to the PS4 and influenced my choice in picking up that console. Again there's this mentality that if it's also on PC it doesn't count when that's not really the case to console gamers.
so Phil's trip to Japan amounted to a Dragonball game and Code Vein.._ lol
Did anyone make a list of the 22 exclusives? I didn't get to watch everything as I was grocery shopping.
I know there's:
Forza
Crackdown
Ori 2
PUBG
Metro
LIS
...?
LiS and Metro are coming to the PS4 at the same time.Did anyone make a list of the 22 exclusives? I didn't get to watch everything as I was grocery shopping.

I had hoped to see the new console Mistwalker game here.
Metro and LiS aren't exclusive.
Here's what I wrote down:
Console Launch Exclusives:
Player something (Underground?)
Deep Rock
Darwin
Black Desert
Last Night
The Artful something
Tacoma
Ashen
Console Exclusive:
Sea of Thieves
Super Lucky's Tale
Cuphead
Ori
Crackdown 3
That's well short of 22, so I must've missed some. They showed an indie montage that went by pretty quickly. Maybe there were some in there.
Anthem was pretty cool even though it looks like Focus Testing: The Game.
"What do people like?"
"Mech suits, co op shooters, loot"
"Ok go make that"

Anyway I give up. It's obvious to me (and clearly many others) why this was a weak showing competitively. You queried such responses and I figured I'd try and extrapolate but you can't see it so this will be my last reply.
Gawd, I'm so pissed off right now. This was gonna be the big E3 comeback. As an Xbox fan of the original and 360, I was ready to jump back in.
I'm not even upset at the price because I assumed it was gonna be that high. I just can't believe there were zero new first party games announced that we already didn't know about. That is so insane to me.
I'll get a couple of positives out of the way:
+ I appreciate MS' commitment to BC and services.
+ I appreciate how they mostly showed gameplay.
But that's about as much as I can muster up.
- The Xbox One X is a system without a cause. There is no exclusive to justify its existence or its price.
- In general, for the last 5-6 years, it has become increasingly hard to care about investing in MS' ecosystem, when they are this bereft of first party game studios and talent. I don't feel like they are in this for the long haul. Even the One X feels like a last ditch effort to gather some attention towards a dying effort.
- The pacing of their shows are legitimately terrible and the games they choose for extended looks are often baffling. I don't know why Sea of Thieves needed something quite that long when most of what they showed was boring.
- The apparent downgrade to Crackdown 3 is disappointing. MS deserves a ton of shit for selling the power of the cloud and then backing down from that promise.
- Anthem looked fantastic visually, so at least they knew how to end it, though I'm skeptical if the final game is going to look that good.
- That "console launch exclusive" phraseology was shady.
All in all, MS feels like a company in retreat. They're firing what little arsenal they have, but it isn't enough.
For all the shit MS gets for too much Halo and Gears... if there's one thing this conference needed, it's new Halo and Gears.
Major Nelson himself is indicative of everything wrong with Xbox right now. He's a Microsoft lifer in the echo chamber that is the Xbox division. They're dedicated to serving their ever decreasing hardcore fan base, without any real perspective on what steps they need to take to expand beyond that and actually take it to Sony.Pretty much. They just had Major Nelson on youtube hyping up the fact they lined up the ports in the back on one row.
I think the difference is providing games for Xbox owners to play vs convincing people they need an Xbox.I think you're being way too harsh. They showed a LOT of games even if they weren't new 1st party games. I don't think you can look poorly on 22 Xbox/PC exclusives regardless of the source.
2 or 3 out of 10. When a conference sells you on not buying the new hardware, it's failed horribly.
LiS isn't exclusive. I don't think Metro is either. What's PUBG?

So during Spencer's reign he has managed to
Kill off Xbox exclusives
Cancel first party titles
Promise more than they can deliver
Announce consoles at higher price than people are willing to pay
Overhype and Botch E3
Sign off on some of the most cringe PR/Advertising messaging
I'm getting the feeling that a lot of execs at Xbox are just way too comfortable or way too deluded.
So... should I take it that this monster isn't capable of running current 30fps Xbox One games at 60fps?

It's not economically feasible if the XBO X is the only VR-ready model.Is VR dead?
You don't focus on games like that on a 6teraflop systemNot that stuff like God of War or TLOU2 isn't important, but the audience is more fickle today. They make the biggest splash at an E3 conference, but it just seems like there's something different going on these days. Minecraft, Rocket League, PUBG... I think if MS can continue to kind of align with multiplayer games that people are currently into, that's more in line with the audience than a blockbuster like Halo or Uncharted. They're kind of filling gaps around that as best they can, and they're not completely striking out there.

It has been boring for a while. Say what you will about Sony promising the moon with titles that are far off. At least you point to that and say "fuck yeah I can't wait for that." What do you look at with Microsoft first party and think "oh yeah that's a game of the year contender." All of that is missing. There's no energy, no excitement.Has Xbox become boring?
Really can't wait to see how Sony answers this. They've easily won E3 for years now, but this is going to be a tough one to beat.

Lol
The only way Sony wouldn't top this Microsoft presser is if they didn't show up at all.
Call Of Duty: WWII MP reveal/new SP trailer/possible Zombies reveal, Spiderman, GOW, Shenmue 3, FFVII Remake and if they show The Last Of Us II, it will bring diwn the house.
Ah I got confused cause Phil said the 22 games were going to be exclusive and then showed Metro right after so I thought that was one of them.
Pretty cool that they locked Super Lucky's Tale as a full exclusive.
