I thought they'd said all first party stuff was on the Xbox One, but it seems a fair few aren't. I wonder if that just means they're a long way away, or if it's been a little quietly backed away from.

 

Some of those looked cool, and having Fable confirmed is a big note.

I'd say it means those are probably 2023 releases.

Well that was gash. A few amazing looking games, but mostly just pre-rendered nothing that tells me nothing about the actual games. Everwild and The Medium looked really good, but Halo looked absolutely pathetic if that’s their big hope.

So mixture of games to look forward to on games pass, fewer supporting Xbox one than we’d perhaps expected, no forza this year and ... no dates. So quite similar to Sony really.

 

There were  a load of games tagged as Xbox Launch titles?

We’ve already seen the console.

 

I'm just revisiting this comment now thats over.

 

Have we seen the console?   Have we seen it boot up and play a disc?   No we havent.  Same could be said of the PS5 i suppose.

thats what I want, Mr clever clogs.

 

these presentations always skimp on the plastic! :)

Neither Avowed nor Fable seem to be coming to Xbox One.

 

It looks that way.

Fable confirmed for existing. The trailers tone felt right too, am I'm certainly a fan of Fable 1 & 2. 

How far off will it be though?

 

They said all first party stuff was One and Series for 2 years, so +2 years

"Console launch exclusive" - as in, on the xbox before any other console.

Pathetic? 

 

I thought it looked great and I can't wait for more Halo but that's a scorching take right there.

Time to check a couple of those trailers with a decent 4K video stream. I was rather underwhelmed by the Sony show until I watched a few high quality videos afterwards. Then I was only mildly underwhelmed.

I presume the marketing there was "Buy Game pass" which they mentioned but perhaps didn't push.  I presume all of the press releases / articles will push that though.

 

Decent assortment of games, and obviously a bunch of non-game pass stuff to show too, Halo looked decent, but isn't my thing, surprised they didn't show more of Forza which makes it look a bit further out.

 

4k streams needed now.

Conclusion: Game Pass is brilliant 

 

Everything I saw today will cost me nothing mostly including not having to buy new hardware

 

Good stuff:

 

Halo Infinite looks like Halo 1 remixed 

 

Fable sometime in the future - hope it isn't Fable Cart Racing

 

Forest hippies 

 

Obsidian game (no not that one) - but who knows when it will be out

Wrote up a quick list of my impressions of the "reveals" going through. This wasn't made any better with the lag experienced on the stream, but this seemed to be suffered by everyone. Anyway, here's my breakdown:

 

Halo Infinite - It’s a Halo game. After all the hype and build up, the graphics and gameplay were nothing to write home about.

State of Decay 3 - Looks interesting, graphics look nice. Would like to know more...

Forza Horizon - Um… early development? Looks nice with the 4 seconds I saw of it, but really?! What have they been spending all of their time doing?

Everwild - Looks nice, but still no real clue of what it’s about. No gameplay

Tell me why - Meh, looks ok. Announced before and still little to no gameplay

Ori and the will of the wisps - This is your chance to show off the new console and you bring up this?

The outer worlds expansion - Didn't complete the game so of not much interest to me

Grounded - Looks really good actually

Avowed - Hell yes!

As dusk falls - Interaction drama… not my cup of tea

Hellblade 2 - not even a trailer?

Psychonaughts 2 - Drug trip the game

Destiny 2 - Firstly *facepalm*, but secondly it’s sad that Destiny 2 graphically looks more impressive than Halo Infinite

Stalker 2 - Really liked the first and am excited this is announced. Looks amazing too

Warhammer: Darktide - Looks like another vermintide, but I’m definitely interested in this!

Tetris Connected - Really?!

The Gunk - Minecraft / No mans sky'esque or maybe neither. Might be interesting

The Medium - Definitely on my to buy list. Need to see more gameplay

Phantasy Star Online 2 - Looks really good

CrossFire X - Looks great

Fable - Yay!

 

Overall then the show started off pretty naff with seeing someone play Halo for about 10 minutes. Didn't improve much until the latter half starting with Stalker 2 being announced. Everything seemed to get better from there ending with a new Fable which I'm happy about. Overall not a great show and nothing to really write home about. I'd probably rate it a 6 or 7. There were certainly some lookers in amongst the others. Some games I'd definitely be interested in playing, but if they wanted to blow my socks off they failed. I'm still looking to buy an XSX at some point, but nothing there which really made me go "where's the pre-order!".

Considering the graphics of TLOU2 and Ghost of Tsushima on the 7 year old PS4 I was really hoping for something that looked incredible today on the world's most powerful console.

 

To be fair native 4k trailers should look a lot better - PS5 games did after the 1080p blah bitrate stream

Pretty into Balan Wonderland, looks like it has the flavour of a late 90s mascot platformer with the tone of Nights. I wanna know how Everwild plays but it's certainly beautiful. Psychonauts with both Jack Black and Peter McConnell involved interests me too, even though I never finished the original. Tetris Effect is one of the best videogames so an Xbox release is great news, with added multiplayer too!

 

Biggest deal of the show (in both meanings of the word) was how much of it is offered through GamePass.

 

As Dusk Falls and Tell Me Why are both games I'd definitely want to play, and ideal for GamePass.
