Looking forward to this!

Any rumbles of anything Xcloud-related? Really looking forward to seeing that in action!

Dragon Quest 11 coming to Xbox, played it on PS4 and loved it.

Halo Infinite looks amazing. The gun play was savage.

maximoose

Yeah very impressed with Halo - the art style very Halo 3 and it looks great

mrkiscool2

S.T.A.L.K.E.R 2 on day 1? Yes please.

Load of ****e bar Halo so far which was impressive

No gameplay in the stalker trailer or Hellblade

Bar Halo, Everwild and Avowed have piqued my interest but they showed everwild last year too and avowed is likely ages away. Can't say anything else jumped out.

Very little new announcements to write home about tbh, same old same old really.

recyclops

ok so far its been fairly poor but the medium really piqued my interest

Nicetrustedcup

I really don’t think these consoles are ready at all,

COVID might have delayed quite a lot of games as well,

super_furry

Every game shown being part of a €12 month subscription is why I'll be buying a Series X console.

MiskyBoyy

Fable!

recyclops

The Medium, fable and crossfire ( mainly due to remedy being involved) is all i cared about really

Yea poor showing overall

Credit to Halo tho it looks great and looks more like the classic halo franchise.

I'm very excited for that.

Games pass is really the future for the Xbox

Look how many games we will get day one thanks to that on our new fancy Xbox

Also no price still !!!!

I just don’t understand why Sony and ms don’t won’t to give us as price yet

TheBigEvil

Halo looks gorgeous, and back to its roots with the Covenant "The Banished". Looking forward to that.

And Fable is back too... excellent !

Incredible that all games shown will be available on Gamepass, that is very impressive. So that probably ties in with the stories going around that Gold is being wound down.

All in all I thought it was a good showcase, plenty on show, and certainly plenty of games to run on the new hardware. Plenty more to come no doubt

Nothing for me there. I think I'll be bowing out of the Xbox ecosystem for the first time in the next gen. Xbox is doing lots of innovative stuff but the games are doing nothing for me.

I haven't seen anything from either Sony or MS to make me think I want a next gen machine....yet anyway

I came on to post these exact thoughts. I'm sure the games for both consoles will be enjoyable but none of them are getting my willy wet.

Not enough content to come to any kind of conclusion. Halo looks solid and I'm a big fan of semi open world, metro exodus did it perfectly as an example.

Overall there looks to be some solid games coming to game pass. Its as to be expected with the netflix business model. A steady stream of 7/10 content with the 9/10 spaced apart.

I think my game pass sub will be secured but its a question of do I need a series X. I'm still undecided and a bit disappointed once again that theres been a bit of over hype. At what point will there be a show that will make me say shut up and take my money? That goes for both PS and Xbox. At this stage I think its pretty obvious that moment is going to come 1 or 2 years later and I can happily make do with my one x and pc until then.

Yep have to agree with that. There is no doubt that Gamepass is great value for money and something I don't need to worry about until Jan 2023 thanks to the upgrade.

I don't think I will be getting the Series X day 1, which is mad because I have bought every Xbox since the OG one back in the day.

Halo looks swish, that new one from Yuji Naka looks good Ballun Wonderworld

Picking up 3 years of ultimate for 1 euro from BA was the greatest gaming bargain ever.

Not massively impressed so far but, hey, everything for free!

Yes, I cannot wait for Psychonauts 2. I played the first which is a Xbox original backward compatible game. It was a good game shame it took many years until the second was made.

Sephiroth_dude

Nice to see state of decay 3 is development .

Sephiroth_dude

and stalker 2, I think that was in development but got cancelled a few years back ?

You have to have played the first to understand. It was a great game. Only took 15 years to get a sequel. Someone over on PC gaming thread once said that is why we cannot have nice things as it was a great game but tanked in sales back in the day.

This is interesting and something I'd noticed during the showcase. Thought I was cnfused

The details settings (looked like low/medium) are obviously turned way down to hit native 4K and 60FPS.

Edit: I thought you were talking about Halo.
