Surprised Matty wasn’t into Mixtape. I’m not even from that era but that game looks sick. My 2nd fave from the showing after Life Is Strange. #Showcase24

I’m waiting to see who’s going to make the first Souls with a true difficulty slider.

Great showcase but I really didn’t like the style they went for in ‘South of Midnight’. Gives me a headache watching it for some reason.

I honestly don’t know what they’re talking about when they saw gameplay. Yes there was gameplay shown, however, it was clear they wanted to show only certain parts of gameplay. In my opinion, that means two things. One, they’re not confident in their games. Or, They’re afraid to show too much due to the lack of gameplay in their first party games. I could be just cynical, but personally, I wasn’t satisfied.

But... WE'RE SO BACK!

Look, I don't like cinematic trailers either I want to see gameplay, but both WoW and Diablo 4 are already out. You know what the gameplay is. They're expansions to a game that already exists that you've already played. There's nothing wrong with a cinematic trailer for an expansion that's setting up the story and getting you hyped to find out what happens. Not to mention that some of the best trailers of all time are cinematic trailers like the Gears "Mad World" trailer or the Diablo 2 trailer with the old man. Again, I want to see gameplay as much as the next guy but y'all gotta chill just a little

Great show! I love that Gears is going back and really don't care if they finish the sequel trilogy Also, Cog do you have a bird? I swear I'm hearing a squaking parrot or something 😂
Adam Martinez
Big same. E Day is the game I never knew I wanted.

Life is strange is not a telltale game

Best E3 still is the E3 of dreams where Shenmue 3 was announced, FF7 Remake, Last Guardian release date, Horizon:Zero Dawn debut with gameplay, street fighter V gameplay, No mans Sky, Dreams, Batman:Arkham Knight Reveal., Uncharted 4 gameplay Ending the show. E3 2016 i would say is also in there with gameplay and reveal of God of war 2018, Days Gone, Spiderman 2018, Detroit Resident Evil 7 reveal, PSVR announcement reveal, Kojima's reemergence with Death Stranding.

Great show guys, thanks. Was that David King choking on a bit of puff puff pass in the background of cogs stream?

I don't know how many "It's over. We're back" I have left in me. Can we just stay over or back?
Geoff
So nice to have positive vibes in the Xbox universe!

I was worried about the two hour time rate after SGF dragged on the way it did . That was a banger and shot into the arm of the gaming industry needed . Tho I can’t wait for this soulslike fad to end . 10/10

Matty trying to steal my joy from the Blizzard portion. That WOW cinematic trailer gave me grown man tears.
Caleb Peacock
All time great show by Xbox, goes toe to toe with the best e3 shows ever imo. Only one that comes to mind is the infamous e3 where Sony kept dunking on Xbox with the ps4 price and way of sharing games. I don’t even have an Xbox and I felt like I was watching an e3 show, it just brought that level of excitement. Phil spencer had a “I’m not finished with yet” moment and just brought the GAMES
Meatball
IDK man, call it recency bias, but I can't remember a showcase where I wanted to play every single game like this one. Now I just need them to deliver lol
Michael Mashpotato
I’m looking forward to a few of these games. I’ll definitely be playing Perfect Dark and Gears of War. I hope they have a section in perfect dark where you get to use the Farsight.

So ready to hear some professional impressions regarding a phenomenal Xbox showcase. Theres too much chatter coming from the Kindergarten console war table. Time to let the adults speak.

Sure was. Congrats boys! Happy for Xbox fans everywhere. Things were looking dire for a moment there.

It was a good showcase but calling it one of the best in gaming history is a little hyperbolic.
Ealia Staroverov
Xbox is out, Xbos is in!
Alex Roberts
We’re so back (again)
Yeti ATL
Glad I decided not to sell the Xbox after this showcase

Was hoping for that gears collection shadow drop but I’ll admit it did my heart good to see young fenix 🥹
