You guys know that COD is every year, it was absent from most of the show and you are now surprised that it's the damn closer?

I think people were surprised because it's pretty much a given that a new CoD comes out every year. There's no reason to make a big finale out of it.
 
This was a great show for me, I want to play many of these games.

Super happy the Double Fine game is not multiplayer as it was per rumors. Finally FF7R and FF16.

No Fable though, I'm kinda fearing it's a late 2026 release.

It will outsell every other game shown combined, I don't see how it's a bad thing.
 
Show was fucking fantastic, solid A.

Would have loved to see more Fable, PD, SOD3, etc but there are more shows this year so many games coming out as-is.
 
For the quantity of studios Xbox right now has this showcase was a very mid.

Specially since there are other games announced in the last couple of years that are pretty much a no-show, like Perfect Dark and Gears.

Where are whose? I mean, COD was just the showcase opener in the PS3/360 era, now it's the big and final surprise reveal?

Hmm, it was okay for me. Decent standard but the big games I wanted to see weren't there so yeah solid enough but didn't set my balls tingling
 
The show definitely lost appeal in the last 30. Ending on COD? Travesty.
Strong as fuck 1st 15, middling middle 3rd (wtf give the GAAS updates their own shows!) and really weird choices for enders.

I honestly have no idea what to make of this show lol.

Also no release date on Clockwork Revolution and P4R is honestly pissing me off I want them now!

Trying to one up Sonys show with a shit ending.
I was so psyched to see Peter Petrelli in a big AAA action game, then it all went to shit rofl.

Clockwork Revolution and Black Ops 7 saved it for me, but I did wish Dawnwalker was further along than what people told me, so I got bamboozled on false hype there. They need to trim that Premier voice though.

But last year was way better, this was pretty weak. Playstation owned it this year saving us thanks to good Japan Games.

Overall though a proper nose dive in quality. No idea how next year will be.
