Forza Motorsport 7 - Visually looked great, but I'd be remiss if I didn't say my reaction was "This would be so great if it was a good game"
Metro Exodus - Looked spectacular, really amazing. Loved the vibrancy of the exterior scenes, and the series-standard environmental effects. Metro and STALKER are merging!
Assassin's Creed Origins - Looked surprisingly good visually. Not sure I'm sold on jumping back in on this franchise, but a good start.
PUBG - Their token "something huge from PC from 6 months ago"
Deep Rock Galactic - When this was a Minecraft with guns exploration game, it looked great. When it became a twin-stick arena shooter, it got more boring.
State of Decay 2 - Glad they expanded the base building simulation. Animation still seemed choppy. Still, looking forward to it depending on the platform situation, they've been cagey about whether they're going to abandon the million+ sales they got on Steam.
The Darwin Project - Wow, a more boring battle royale game. There are like 50 of these. Stooop.
Minecraft paid Mods and 4k - I don't think Microsoft has done much to improve Minecraft since buying it. The new visuals look bad. Paid servers and mods, meh
Dragon Ball - No interest in either fighting games or DB, but this looked excellent. Genuinely couldn't tell if it was 2D or 3D.
Black Desert - The initial setup looked good but then it became Korean MMO trash.
The Last Night - This continues to look excellent.
The Artful Escape - I don't think I'm baked enough for this but it looks wonderful.
Code Vein - Wow, Z-tier Namco Bandai trash.
Sea of Thieves - This is shaping up to be Rare's best game ever if they pull it off.
Tacoma - Glad to get a date but the teaser didn't show us anything.
Super Lucky's Tale - Boy, this does not look good. As a free pack-in for VR, great, but on its own it looks like a low-end mobile title.
Cuphead - FINALLY
Montage - Raidens of the Broken Planet looks bad, Surviving Mars looks excellent, Ooblets looks great, Hello Neighbor is going to be awesome, everything else was like "Wow 70% positive review Steam games from 2015-2016 passsss"
Ashen - Odd that MS sold the publishing rights to this, I guess they're starting to pull out of publishing external indies?
Life is Strange: Before the Storm - Of course I'm going to play this, but I can't say I'm convinced this was the right decision and Idol Minds has an iffy track record.
Crackdown 3 - Looks like Crackdown, but newer and better. Looking forward to it. Sumo Digital I trust a lot more, so I'm glad to see development has been entirely given over to them.
Shadow of War - I'm told the first game was really good but this demoed extremely poorly.
Ori and the Will O Wisps - Hell yes.
Xbox OG BC - I will buy an Xbox One if I can play Breakdown, Myst 3, Panzer Dragoon, and JSR:F.
Anthem - Animation looked good, movement looked great, shooting looked mediocre, but honestly my biggest impression was how fake the demo looked. Fake co-op banter, fake looking exploration prompt, the initial environment looked CG... and it's 2018. So I suspect this will be a game that gets downgraded.
Overall, I think Microsoft showed that the Xbox One X seems like a reasonable next step and they've got a bunch of third party content in the pipeline and some interesting first party content. I don't think $499 is a killer price, I think it's competitive and interesting, but I don't think the generational pattern will change. As a PC-first gamer who doesn't like Windows 10 Store, I'm mostly interested in cutting through the exclusivity weasel words and finding out how many of these games will get a wider release. 7/10
