Can't lie, it's an easy "A" from me. The best games showcase I've seen in recent memory.


New Call of Duty, new DOOM, New Dragon Age (and coming this year!), State of Decay first in-game footage, Starfield: Shattered Space, Expedition 33 looking very promising, South of Midnight gameplay looking amazing, Age of Mythology Retold, Fable looking stunning, Mixtape looks special, Flight Simulator 2024, Life is Strange Double Exposure (!!), Indiana Jones and the Great Circle looking like a good time, Avowed, Assassin's Creed Shadows, Stalker II, and GEARS OF WAR: E-DAY!!

Plus the vast majority coming to Game Pass and coming in either 2024 or 2025.


I was torn on a few of the showings, like Metal Gear Solid Delta and Perfect Dark, but time will tell.


SO much variety though. For as stale as we complain the AAA space is nowadays, there was so much creativity shown today. Something for everyone. What a great show.

This

But overall great better then anything we've seen so far

 

[Dacvak]

That was honestly fuckin great. I went in expecting nothing and I was super impressed by a lot of the reveals.

 

[SenkiDala]

A

 

[N30RYU]

A

If not an S

 

[R6Rider]

A. Really fucking good.

 

[Chiggs]

I give it a solid B.

Lots of new titles and a few turds.

 

[LectureMaster]

The only titles interested me are new Doom and Indiana Jones. The whole show were stuffed with way too many trailers with pointless cinematics while no actual gameplay.

That said I do appreciate Xbox's holding this kind of big and premium showcasing to at least try to fill the void left by the death of E3.

 

[kikkis]

A, all that on game pass too i guess.

 

[TintoConCasera]

Didn't watch it, but a new DOOM is always welcome.

 

[LordCBH]

Solid B. Too much 2025 for me to say A.

 

[The Cockatrice]

It was good, not perfect tho. B for being the best out of all the shows. Sony gotta keep up.

 

[James Sawyer Ford]

B

Good show for them

But only thing I came out interested in was Doom. Gears teaser was cool

 

[mansoor1980]

A

 

[Mister Wolf]

A. It was extra fire.

 

[Topher]

A. Just fantastic

 

[Ironman_Bad]

Been watching since first e3 and that's the best showcase I've seen

 

[Mr.ODST]

A by a mile, they nailed it this year 100%, looking great for Xbox's future even if a lot is 2025 but at least we know what is coming up in a way

MS made it feel like a true E3 showcase so fair play to them for that after the disappointing few weeks

 

[POKEYCLYDE]

I rate it a B. Not a whole lot for me personally that I was pumped for. But it definitely delivered more than anything this past week.

 

[nordique]

Gets an A from me.

Well done Microsoft. Thought it was better than last years show case tbh

 

[Antwix]

A.

Game pass people eatin' good

 

[Gaiff]

Would have been A if they had shown gameplay for Gears E-Day. Don't care for this "in-engine cinematic" shit.
B+.

 

[SJRB]

A, easily. That was dope as fuck. Something for [almost] everyone.

 

[xHunter]

Cant give it higher than B since it didnt feature many new first party titles. Next year will be better when all the 2024 games wont be featured anymore

 

[Cert.in.Death]

As good as Xbox gets

Albeit I miss the cringe of socially awkward developers becoming memes in real time

 

[El Muerto]

S-Tier. Everything looks amazing. Never thought something would top Sony's 2016 E3 and this blows it out of the water.

 

[Fart Knight]

C for Doom, Perfect Dark and Gears

 

[R3TRODYCE]

A

What a show….Still wouldn’t buy an Xbox though.

 

[//DEVIL//]

A for me. That was super.

For the first time ever it made the feeling of need to buy an Xbox console .

All the years before were like meh, but this year one game after the other. And most of them are just beautiful

 

[Bartski]

A. One of the best showcases in years.

 

[ryzen1]

I'm usually more into Playstation. But this show was absolutely dope AF.

 

[Traxtech]

They did what they needed to do, showed the big guns. Smart move considering everything. Easily the best showcase for this "e3"

 

[Kurotri]

Easy A. Like I said in a previous thread, Xbox always delivers on their shows.

 

[Ass of Can Whooping]

B

Would have been a A but no woman in Gears trailer

 

[BlvckFox]

Easy A. Fantastic show.

 

[Aion002]

A.

 

[DryvBy]

Honestly only two games I care about are Doom and Age of Mythology right now. I'm always walking away with 2 games that look great from a conference but this is getting a B because Doom looked really good.

 

[RavenSan]

Easy A for me -- lots of games, no real nonsense stuff. Lots of gameplay. Only a few 'I don't care about this' moments -- but I'm sure there are people out there who enjoy Life is Strange, lmao.

Only thing missing is my Lost Odyssey remake/remaster. GIVE IT TO ME, MICROSOFT.

 

[Sanepar]

Solid show but no forza horizon 6 is a B

 

[Punished Miku]

Easily A. I feel sorry for people without GP.

 

[Desless1]

Easy A, s-tier show though!

 

[Lupin25]

Outstanding


A

 

[BoxFresh123]

A (not interested in the Cod stuff)

Not everything I had interest in understandably but as a show it was great.

Still massively disappointed in Avowed though. It looks nothing like the tease and I'm not sold by anything they've shown but that's my only major downer.

Edit: Also very impressed with Fable

 

[Efren is G.O.A.T.]

I gave it an A, I don't own an Xbox but luckily for me these games are all coming to PC so I'm there!

 

[Jibran#one]

This was probably the best show I've seen in a long long time
Games that are this year and next year
And Jesus Christ the games on gamepass

 

[LQX]

W-ant to play everything they showed.

 

[Alan Silvestro]

B
Not all the games are my favorites (I hate the fantasy genre, FPSs, and Ubisoft and Wokesoft games), but I enjoyed the quantity. I liked the Phantom Blade Zero-style ninja girl game, the trailer for the new Doom, the new Flight Simulator. The Indiana Jones game I found really bad, but bad on an embarrassing level, even in the cutscene shown, we are really at the lowest point ever seen in these tie-ins.

 

[Robb]

/10

Very solid showcase.

 

[Celcius]

F, that sucked
COD was the only thing that I plan to buy. Nothing else interested me.
I was hoping to get a Gears Remastered trilogy but instead it's a prequel game.
I was hoping to see Borderlands 4 but it was nowhere in sight.
Yawn.

 

[Radical_3d]

Man. I’m so glad I own an Xbox now. B just because they didn’t show something more arcade-ish but maaaaaaaan making one of the most boring FPS franchises an immersive sim is fantastic (and sad after closing Arkane). Xbox is the new Sony. You’ve heard here first.
