It all adds up.
Sunday, EU friendly, the first "real" conference, the usual mass games reveals from MSI guess choosing a Euro-friendly time slot helps a lot.
Same. by the end of the event, MS basically sounded like they were confirming that they are going 3rd party 100%, to say "all devices" they didn't even just say "windows 10" etc, they stated "ALL DEVICES" and even further, MS went on to say this.

sooooooo I don't know what is happening at MS, but its sounding like PC was just the start and that they are basically releasing titles on all platforms in the future, which likely might include Nintendo, PS etc. Looks like they are serious about this whole "play anywhere" and games as a service. I don't know where this leaves XB to be honest.
yeah, it was missing that one extra ingredientOnly thing missing from MS conference was some suprise that had to do with Xbox one X or BC. WOuld have been amazing if they announced "and as of today, all BC games will play in 4k" or something along that nature.
Only 22 pages?? I haven't been here in a while. I was expecting a much bigger bounce back for E3. Hope the ship gets righted somehow one day.
Now on topic:
Sony has amazing single player games, no question, but MS still eats their lunch when it comes to services and now hardware. I just wanted them to show more Halo.
Post Apocalyptic: An E3 Presentation
The only games I am looking forward to are
Cyberpunk
Cuphead 2
And
Samurai Dark Souls
That’s a bit unfair really as being in the UK I watched a lot of shows on repeat. Nice to see the viewing figures though.Conference viewership on Twitch:
Don't have YT, Mixer, Facebook, Twitter and Live TV data.
Should also be an overall concurrent viewership record for Twitch as a whole with 2.7 million hourly average
Ummm God of War is an example. Horizon Zero Dawn delivered exactly what it debuted.Can't create a thread yet, but wanted to ask :
Purey subjectively - Is there any game which eventually lived up to, or surpassed, its E3 reveal?
Them buying studios, and decent ones and even forming another studio kind of contradicts that “100% 3rd party” service. Of course they should have done this years ago in the X1’s infancy but Phil has taken over and he’s changing it up.
Also didn’t Sony have a service where you could stream their stuff on devices? I believe it might of been discontinued though, but it shows Microsoft wasn’t the first to implement the idea.
lol agreed.C for me. The presentation was good, which I don't care much about TBH, but I was bored throughout until Tunic.
Nobody asked you to buy an Xbox and your arguement is tired and a repeat of the shit we have been reading for years from Sony fanboys. Believe it or not there are hundreds of million of gamers out there that don’t own a gaming pc, don’t like gaming on a pc, don’t care about having a gaming pc. Microsoft’s ecosystem is pc/Xbox , if you play their games on pc you are already contributing to it."Them buying studios, and decent ones and even forming another studio kind of contradicts that “100% 3rd party” service. "
Not really. I'd argue it supports it greatly. They want more teams to clearly make more games to get more subscribers. I'm sorry but I don't see any evidence that MS actually wants to go back to only making XB games ie XBOX ONLY games. Just the oppoiste. I didn't see them coming out and saying "Halo, Gears 5 ONLY on XONE", I read they are all coming to PC, then at the end, they are saying they hope to reach to to MORE devices. That doesn't sound like a company that only wishes to put out content on 1 system ie XBOX. That sounds like a company that is happy about their profits being multiplatform and is reaching out to more platforms.
It wouldn't shock me if MS still makes a new XB, but the games are actually also on, PC, phones, Nintendo, PS etc.
Remember when folks kept saying it would only be for smaller games?

Sooooooo we can keep on this whole "it would only be for" xyz junk, but history shows us that MS has been very much bringing content to many platforms. So those days of only coming to XB and nothing else clearly is over, like long over. Like every major game MS showed at E3 FROM THEIR TEAMS, can be played WITHOUT an XBONE.
So, Sony has PS Now, but I don't recall at E3 Sony coming out and telling you that you can play The Last Of Us 2 on a phone or anything like that lol Still need a PS4 for that, where on the other hand, I own a gaming PC had nave zero reason to get a XONE. Halo is coming to PC, Gears is coming to PC, Forza is coming to PC....why would I need a XONE?

They as in Microsoft has given us options on how we play these games, after all if you buy their first party exclusives, regardless if it’s on PC or Xbox, they still make money. They don’t care if you buy an Xbox or buy from their windows 10 store to play the game. They still make $$$ and by doing so, they have given us gamers options. Options are great you see! So I disagree with you that options aren’t great.
Plus you are kind of assuming that every gamer has or wants a gaming PC. The option is there, but why would I want to play these games on a more expensive PC and not on my comfortable couch or chair, on my nice TV with my affordable console? I mean if you prefer PC gaming, more power to you, but I don’t and I imagine millions of others think the same.
Man you reach too much....
"They still make $$$" Who is debating that? Moot and not being argued.
"So I disagree with you that options aren’t great." Who said its not great? I mean, I just stated this "when I buy Gears Of War 5 on PC" So...not sure what you mean.
"Plus you are kind of assuming that every gamer has or wants a gaming PC." Nope, to each his own. I game on both console and PC ,as to why I own a PS4 and a PC so...I don't know where you got that assumption from as I never stated that.
Microsoft no doubt won this E3. With the snorefest that was Sony's.
Well two things, Sony decided to show only a few games and/or MS decided to show almost everything that was at E3 because a vast majority of their stuff was multi platform.
So does MS get credit for showing a bunch of stuff everybody will get?
every other console is getting Crackdown, Gears Of War 5, battletoads, Cuphead, Forza Horizon 4, Halo Infinite, , Ori and the will of wisps etc?Well two things, Sony decided to show only a few games and/or MS decided to show almost everything that was at E3 because a vast majority of their stuff was multi platform.

Except it wasn't rapid fire. They had boring talking snorefest segments between a lot of them.Why not.
I just prefer a conference to be rapid fire trailers and surprise announcements over 10+ minute gameplay segments of games I already know about.
I enjoyed the MS show way more even if all their games are third party. They'll still also have the X power advantage for many of them.
Is it a timed exclusive?lol agreed.
That is my favorite game they showed. Will buy on PC or wait til its on Switch or PS4. Looks fun.

Is it a timed exclusive?
They had one boring slow segment when the girl talked about game pass. That's it.Except it wasn't rapid fire. They had boring talking snorefest segments between a lot of them.
Nope. They have Phil come out between games and kept massaging his ego over and over.They had one boring slow segment when the girl talked about game pass. That's it.

Ok, let us know when you are playing Halo on PlayStation. Why are you so angry that you can play Gears on your (probably fictional) PC? The number of console players with a gaming pc is tiny. It doesn't spoil my enjoyment of Forza to know that a small number of people have paid lots of money to play it on pc. The idea that console gaming and pc gaming are the same thing needs to be looked at. One is a mass market product and ultimately one isn't. That's ok.
They get credit for entertaining people. Also for having the best console versions of those games. It's ok if you didn't like it, we don't all have to agree.
Well two things, Sony decided to show only a few games and/or MS decided to show almost everything that was at E3 because a vast majority of their stuff was multi platform.

Sony = arrogant
Nintendo = puzzled
Microsoft = resurgent
