Josh Harold They killed it last year as well. The problem is, both years there weren’t/aren’t enough showcases of 1st party games to really secure a solidified reason as to why Xbox is the best place to play over PlayStation, PC, and Nintendo. The displays of games have always been great though. Anthem, Cyberpunk 2077, Metro Exodus, Dragon Ball FighterZ, Jump Force etc. but you can play those games anywhere else outside of Xbox.
PHXNTXM Yeah for sure. Microsofts past 2 conferences were great but didn't provide any immediate reason to own an Xbox. I'm going to be happily playing Cyberpunk and Dying light 2 on my PS4.
PHXNTXM Exactly, as a PS4 owner many games I got hyped about but the ones I did I could play like Sekiro: Shadow Die Twice, Cyberpunk 2077, Shadow of the Tomb Raider, and Fallout 76.
This conference was one of the best in recent e3s easily, the lack of stage stuff, the first party studios, the amount of games, game pass, just an incredible conference
Totally agree. If you watched the KF analysis of the EA conference, Microsoft did the total opposite of everything they criticized EA for. EA blathered on endlessly, Microsoft shut up and SHOWED the games. They killed it.
I've been down on Xbox recently. But this was a great conference. Something for everybody. Exclusives were expected. But the new studios instill optimism.
Fingers crossed those studios hold up. The majority of them seemed like general nobodies. That’s not a bad thing though. Underdogs are always something to root for. Let’s just hope that they deliver something worth rooting for.
Well that is just it, you can't just shit out exclusives in a year or two it takes time to get that sort of thing, Initiative is them saying we know, we're doing it now just give us time.
Just to confirm, it’s Nero with a new look. Johnny Yong Bosch is back for the voice and towards the end of the trailer, you can see him with his devil bringer arm.
You should pay attention to Dying Light 2, cause of one reason. Chris Avellone (the guy on stage). That guys is a legend - worked on the BEST RPG's EVER MADE: -Baldur's Gate -Neverwinter Nights2/Mask of the Betrayer -Icewind Dale -Fallout 2 -Fallout New Vegas -Wasteland 2 -Divinity Original Sin 2 -Knights of the Old republic -Planescape Tourment -Tyrrany -Pillars of Eternity All of those games have AMAZING narratives and story. Just because of him, Dying Light 2 became a must have for me.
Emptilion yeah I completely agree I am just saying as a conference. I always feel like Sony wins because of their exclusives but this was a great showing presentation wise. I just hope Sony doesn’t do anything stupid lol but I have faith. So pumped 😬
Raghu Sharma I honestly don't know what Sony can do to top DMC5 and tales of vesperia for me, and I have no idea what else I would want from them at this point, and I am usually really pumped for Sony. But yeah, I am still curious to see what they got. Hoping to see a good suprise in there.
Emptilion well I love Sony first party content. Uncharted, MGS, Last of Us and Gow are the reason why I stick with Sony. We are going to see tlou2, death stranding and Spider-Man. So I know it’s going to be epic. I was just giving props to Microsoft but most of the games they showed that I want to play are multiplatforms. I am not a fan of halo or gears but I’m glad the Xbox community is getting two new games in those franchises
Man could they look anymore annoyed and pissed about Microsoft having a decent conference? I love the guys but their biases are a little obvious sometimes.
Andy Cortez you looked like you enjoyed it. I feel it as I watch it too. Huge Sony fan here and I was really happy by Microsoft pulling this conference off but Tim and Greg look almost pissed if not bored by it. I feel like if this was a Sony conference the hype would be through the roof. Just my two cents though, conference and all the content surrounding it is still awesome, keep up the great work!
It was badass but you 100% downplayed it compared to the other conferences that weren't nearly as good. Simply for the fact, you don't really play Xbox and therefore never got into the exclusive games they offer.
I love how amazing stuff gets announced for Microsoft Greg and Tim just say eh that’s cool, Sony can put a turd on their stage and Tim and Greg will gobble it up like Pac-Man. Love you guys, just not your biases
Walter Rogers lol I’m a Sony guy but I’m objective and this was the best Microsoft conference. Tim and Greg have always been like this, if you expect them to change this year when they haven’t in the last 10 then I’m not sure what to tell you lol. I thought Tim was a lot better this year though, Greg will never change though.
Ryan Mcdaniel That's not true at all. But let's be honest what game is worth getting excited for that's exclusive to Xbox? None. Another Forza? Cmon bruh. Another Halo? Bruhhhhh. Dont get me wrong those two are solid games but nothing surprising about them same old same old. Another Gears? Actually Gears looks awesome at least but that's it. The rest can either be played on PC or PS4. So I will ask again why should they be excited if they didn't announce any worth while exclusives on the same level, say as God of War. You can't expect them to get overly hyped for absolutely nothing. Cmon bruh.
Bacon Is Life how is that not true, your clearly not an Xbox fan. I haven’t been this excited for a new halo since reach, because it’s on a new engine and has more of a halo 1 vibe. You’ve also clearly never played a Horizon game. I love them and know a ton of people that play it basically year round. It’s funny because I feel the same way about Sony and I have a ps4, I’m tired of linear movie games that you only play once. Also the PC argument is ridiculous and getting old, most gamers are console only or PC only. You act like everyone has a 1500 PC they’ve built just laying around when they’re not playing their ps4. All my PC friends refuse to play on console period, except for maybe smash on the switch
Strong conference if you're a gamer and looking forward to playing some great games. Bad conference if you went in looking for a reason to pick up an Xbox.
Next gen consoles are on the way; MS isnt in a place where they need to sell people on their current hardware - they need to satisfy current owners and demonstrate that they're ready to bring more first party stuff in the future for people deciding between an xbox two and ps5.
For Recreational Use Only Xbox One X just came out in the past year, if Microsoft had any decency they would wait at the very least 2 and a half years till the release of a new console. I personally believe that 2021 would be the best time for new consoles but 2020 seems more likely.
You think? I don't own an Xbox, but I thought Halo Infinite, Forza Horizon 4, Gears 5, and the new studio acquisitions were a pretty solid pitch. What else did people want?
So hyped for Halo! That was a perfect teaser. The great people of the internet have already been picking out the Easter eggs. The radio doing The Morse code in the tent has been translated to be saying “SOS ZETA HALO GRD”. Zeta halo is installation 07. Which is know to be very earth like and to house prehistoric animals from earth and also ancient humans at one point. It’s also known to have dormant flood forms. So the flood is back! So excited.
I skipped to the KH3 trailer to see Kinda Funny react. What a bashfest! lol Im pumped for KH3! Only wish my boys at Kinda Funny were riding with me on this hype train. Oh well. LEZ GOH!
don't know if you found out after this was recorded, but just FYI - the voice actor in the Dying Light 2 trailer was not in fact Matt Mercer. he was asked directly on twitter a few days ago and he replied that it wasn't him.
I swear I just saw those letters move! I wonder what their overall feel about the conference will be? I was pretty pleasantly surprised by Xbox, but I am an outsider so, not sure how the dedicated fanbase felt about their conference
I thought this was a killer conference but the problem is there's still a little bit of an exclusive game lull. However, with all of the new studios, I expect next year to be HUGE and I bet they'll have an Xbox Two teaser
Overall a great conference. It flowed very well from start to finish and featured a lot of things gamers would care about. But.... It honestly was exactly what people have been expecting for months. A ton of multiplat games featured to detract from the lack of quality exclusives outside of their big 3. Gears, Forza and Halo heading out their triple A exclusives as usual, only adding to the already tired (but true) joke. If you were on the fence about getting an X1 currently, this conference likely wouldn't have changed anyone's mind. The acquisition of Ninja Theory & the creation of The Initiative were the highlights of their acquisitions being as Playground already operated as a exclusive studio and Undead Labs just released the not well received State of Decay 2. Compulsion Games is a wild card however. I wonder how the Xbox diehards feel.
... Of course they're working on the next Xbox. Sony is working on PS5. This might be shocking.. Nintendo is already working on their next hardware. Are you gonna not buy the Switch? lol. Next Xbox is here holiday 2020 at the earliest, I would be surprised if it was before 2021. It may depend on when PS5 releases
Acquiring Ninja Theory is a bold move, but historically, Ninja Theory have come close to bankruptcy twice and have made a number of loss-making games, which is why Sony didn't acquire them. But Hellblade is perhaps the corner they needed to turn, which is what gave MS the confidence to buy them. Sadly, MS have a history of acquiring studios only to let them wither and die.
I'd say that risk-taking nature is what makes Ninja Theory attractive to Microsoft. Technically, they have the money to cover their deficiencies. They already have quite a few studios that are proficient at actually making games. What they need are studios that are creative and are capable of making an impact with their games. Studios that aren't going to merely turn out good versions of other people's games, but are gonna actually do things that are different and risky. Playground has accomplished that for open world driving games with Horizon. They're fun to play and they have changed what people even want out of their realistic car games. Compulsion still needs to prove itself, but their world definitely leaves an impression and that counts for a lot. Even State of Decay at Undead Labs is a unique (whether you like it or not) gameplay take on a zombie game. Ninja Theory perfectly embodies a studio that has taken business, creative, and technical risks to deliver on an ambitious vision - and that's been true for many many games. MS needed a Ninja Theory, and Ninja Theory needed a backer to stay alive. I'm optimistic
One thing you gotta hand it to MS they can't get good music for indie montages lol or just a game montage it is always perfect music over a game mashup montage lol
None of these guys and their audience cares or fan about xbox. So this was pretty boring to watch. I prefer GB and Easy Allies reaction videos omore, they not fanboys or biased towards any one company and shows genuine excitement towards all systems
new devil may cry, new ori, new possibly different style of halo, new never before seen exclusives, game pass giving you more access to more games, it's interesting if nothing else. Also, what's the point in making a video of you reacting to new things that are going to help your company that is centered around video games if you won't even ACT interested in what you are watching?
Fyrestorm24 Personally I was interested/surprised at some of the things but most were expected or leaked beforehand so they knew it was coming like DMC 5, new gears, halo, and forza. The only game I was genuinely surprised about was Battletoads but the conference was pretty good on its own.
Whether they were previously announced or leaked, they were all still impressive and great. Look how much KInda Funny hyped-up Sony and Nintendo when almost everything was already announced and expected.
Love you guys for what you are...but you need someone that is passionate about the 'bro' games if you wanna really be the best gaming reaction/analysis/speculation channel. Games like Forza Horizon are still incredible gameplay experiences, but you guys rolling your eyes and going to the washroom when something doesn't excite you totally kills the vibe.
If you want to get these games on a less powerful system than the ex so be it but I'm going to play it on the X as good look a hell of a lot better than PS4 and I have all the systems to I just prefer to play on the most powerful system just like I did when I had a PS4 when it first came out
I like to look at E3 conferences individually, EA sucked donkey balls except for a few things imo, MS did a good job honestly, it felt like a good balance of big, small games and other announcements no super long talks or cringy moments all rounder great conference, Bethesda did well too for a smaller conference it did really well and has some epic games honestly, Sony I haven't watched yet so can't say anything but so far only EA fucked up this year for me.
Sagacious Assessor but it's no joke, all the 3rd party's were here and Sony already spoiled there e3. They lost nier as an exclusive m$ is building 5 new studios they killed it, this is coming from a Sony/pc m$ hasn't won me over yet but there dann close. In the end if this all pans out next gen will be a he'll of a lot better for us all.
Hiroko Takashiro I'm curious, why do people like you always state what platform you play on before making a statement as if it's going to lend you more credit? Seems insecure to me. Here's the problem with your assessment of Xboxs e3. If it weren't Microsofts conference, and it was only showing games being announced for the future, how much shorter would the conference have been? And how much shorter would this conference have been if it were ONLY showing Microsoft content? Microsoft is relying too much on other companies efforts for their own conference to be anything better than mediocre. All sony has to do is show is show the last of us 2 gameplay and that alone is something more tangible than anything from the Microsoft show. Same goes for Nintendo
Sagacious Assessor He just saying he's not expecting any surprises from Sony and because there were at Microsoft's conference (most 3rd party except Battletoads). I disagree, Sony still can have one or two bigger original games with Maybe Rocksteady's Superman, Red Dead 2 gameplay, other third parties, and Blupoints new remake.
Sagacious Assessor It may be true a lot of what was shown was third party, but it is still a big deal as the average gamer will assosaite these games with xbox. Overall with all the announcements they had there show will just look more impressive than Sony, who has 4 games and what looks like very little 3rd party aside from cod and maybe rockstar. Also I only stated my preference since people often get the wrong idea otherwise.
J Castle, We contemplate the meaningless of life... Stare at the ceiling and slowly slip into the sea of darkend madness, feeling your sanity slip out moment by moment until all you see is the inside of your eyelids... Or uh, like cheetos or something
Sony and Xbox fanboys are both overreacting. I thought the conference was good without being amazing or awful.... As a gamer it was great to see all those multiplat-games. If i was considering buying a ps4 or Xbox this gen, after watching this conference I would definitely not have a reason to buy a Xbox. Crackdown 3 looks really meh, halo looks interesting but far away, gow looks meh, I thought the last how was really disappointing and idc about racing so no forza for me. The rest of the show was for all platforms (metro,dyinglight2 and cyberpunk looking really interesting to me ). They bought 4 studios + creating 1 own, which is great and looks promising in the future, but why should I care for it now ? Those studios won't be able to deliver until the next gen is out, so no reason to buy a Xbox soon. I would definitely go to PlayStation or Nintendo for this gen. Maybe Microsoft will turn the tide next gen
Thomas So you're saying that people who DO have an Xbox and enjoy playing are overreacting to things they are excited about? I get that you don't care as much and that you see no reason to buy an Xbox this gen, which is a valid point. But for those who enjoy the things you don't care about or enjoy playing on the S or One X it was a great conference
ctl6985 as I said as a gamer, this conference was good but for people hoping for some new exclusive IP's and not the 100th halo, gow or forza,it was kind of disappointed. I actually played the last halo and gearsofwar with my brothers Xbox and thought the games were okay, but needed a reboot or longer break. Just saying that Microsoft won't win over new customers for Xbox with that strategy this gen. For me the conference was a 7/10. But the future looks a lot more promising for sure. Just kind of worried about ninja theories being bought by Microsoft. Love that studio and just hope that it won't end up like blur studios
no i did not. my main point is : This conference will not attract anyone new to Microsoft. Xbox fan love Halo and GoW -franchises and thats a given because most games were pretty good (Halo1-3 & GoW 1-3 were great imo), but lets be real aswell. Forza(2005), Halo(2001) and GoW(2007) are old franchises. Where are the newer big exclusive IP's like Alan Wake 2 or Sunset Overdrive 2. I just feel like Microsoft gave up on this console gen. Buying Studios and telling the world about it, is a promise for the future, not the now. Thats all.
You might consider who the Xbox conference is for. We're more than 5 years into this generation. Do you think Xbox is chasing that how PS4 gamer conversion market? Nah. Not really. At this point, Xbox is here to show up for Xbox gamers and show them that the company is still making moves, still developing games they want, and (now) getting great responses from 3rd parties - from indies to AAA to Japan. For an Xbox gamer, this conference was so exciting for the next year, for the rest of this generation, and for whatever is coming next. Mission accomplished.
Tim mentions how "because of the Xbox One X, that's how you know it's going to look that good". Problem is Metro is on PC and anytime you see THAT good of graphics they show it on a high end PC..
Why would you get the games on PS4? Games run better and look better on One X. I mean if you prefer the controller it makes sense but I don't understand why people get 3rd party games on anything else if you have both consoles..
leiflala The majority of games run the same on both. Most games that came out before the Xbone X run better on PS4 as Xbox couldn’t reach 4K at the time. Also people don’t want to fork out all that money for another console. Especially PS4 owners who have access to exclusive games while right now Xbox has none
