Did The Xbox Showcase Live Up To Expectations? 

I appreciate your chill coverage without overhyping anything. Fresh air in the games coverage sphere for me to enjoy learning about the showcase.

Godd Howard!

I'm a huge motorsport/sim racing fan so Forza was hype. Starfield looks interesting. I actually can't really think of anything that I found underwhelming besides Fallout 76 stuff lol.

Why did anyone expect Halo at the show? 343 has been laid back so bad all they are capable of now is barely supporting the Halo Infinite live service.

PAYDAY 3 IS HYPE AS FUCK! besides that it was pretty mid

I tuned out ~20min into the Starfield, as I don't need an hour long commercial for a single game to decide if I'm going to play it or not... Showcase was pretty boring overall. Fantasy RPG's are pretty low on my list of games to look forwards to. That felt like most of what they showed 😕

After hearing Starfield is still gonna be 30 FPS. All the hype is dead.Just when you think they're getting there shit together and have something positive to release. This comes out and they take another step backward. For Xbox fan's they need to not accept this and hold them accountable, so this doesn't keep happening, but they probably won't. Smh

I thought the showcase was an A-. I think Halo fans have to get used to not being what Xbox revolves around anymore. It’s a new era.

To me, the showcase was amazing. But I won't be able to play a lot of these games. I can't play these open world RPGs anymore. Well I can, but I don't want to invest more than 20+ hours in a single player game. I just don't have the time and willpower to spend hundreds of hours like I used to during the pandemic / when I had less responsibilities as a young adult. I would like to see more semi-linear type of games, like System Shock and Prey, those games can be completed less than 20 hours.

Honestly, I think it's best that there is no Halo project announced. Halo needs a hiatus after Infinite, and they should wait till the Activision buyout goes through (assuming it will) and then give Halo to one of those studios. Although this would mean we won't get a new Halo for at least 5 years, but I think that's best. And like u said, they could release a Halo 3 Anniversary in the meantime to help with the wait.

Was really bummed that we didn't see any Gears or Halo, but I was super stoked about Cities Skylines 2! Also seeing Starfield was neat, but I'm really worried its all looks and no functionality. Will it be a broken mess on launch, or will it FINALLY break the cycle of bad starts for AAA games?

I would have loved to see a new fuzion frenzy 😅 but i think thats just wishful thinking

it was solid. Better than the disappointing PS5 showcase.

What about stalker 2? It's supposed to be releasing soon but we saw nothing

Yes Halo 3 is the Goat but I had so much more fun on Halo 5 then Infinite it really sucks that we’ve gone this long without an amazing Halo game

Xbox snoozecase

I am so disjointed there was no halo or gears

no

Microsoft are pathetic, Halo 5 multiplayer was fantastic, and infinite is pathetic Because of leadership 🙄 😒
