I really enjoyed that. There are a lot of games I'm interested in seeing more of. Obsidian's new RPG looks good, hyped for fable love that franchise, State of Decay seems like it's had a AAA upgrade and The Medium looks very intriguing.

I am guessing they rebuilt Forza with a new engine.
And yeah with COVID it’s harder to make trailers as they take a lot of time. Wished they showed a lot more of Fable. They just wanted to announce it’s coming.
I think that Fable is a couple of years off as they only got the team together last year. It has me supper hyped though. Avowed also looks interesting.
Nice to see all the games that I'll get to play on PC.
Sure which would explain it not coming this year
But surely there's enough that they could have shown some gameplay
Seemed surprising but obviously not loads you'd take away from that anyway. Racing games always look fantastic.
I think Covid got them more than other games. Racing games developers visit tracks around the world and obviously visit factories to see the cars. They have to gather all that footage and it’s been impossible due to lockdown. Wouldn’t surprise me if it ain’t out in 2021.
Just look at EA and the Fifa cover. They literally did a paint job because they couldn’t take a picture of Mbappe.
Same! I don't know if I'm easily pleased but the vast majority of games on show looked really interesting to me. I really want to play The Gunk!
Halo is brilliant. My current console is the Xbox One Halo 5 Guardians special edition. When Bungie made the games they were better but the entire atmosphere is just fantastic. Amazing soundtrack and storyline.
I adore the Halo games and it's probably my favourite series to play along with Assassins Creed and Batman Arkham collection. Halo has a special place in my heart and I'm absolutely stoked about the new game, the demo I just watched for it makes it look like it's going to be brilliant.
I can't remember that one off of my head I'll have to look back and see if it catches my imagination.
Edit:yeah that looks interesting.

Was pretty interesting but the lack of gameplay across the PS5/Xbox reveals has been minimal at best, so difficult to get too excited.
It just seems nobody wants to play their hand and we‘re not too far from launch and we have such little information about it.

Next month we should get price and release for both judging by the rumours.
This was MUCH better than Sony one, lots of interesting reveals.
I think I’ve read that every month for as long as I can remember
Nah, trust me. If price or release isn’t announced in August then I am willing to go so far that @Damien can ban @esmufc07. That’s how far I am willing to risk it.
Pretty much every insider has been saying August. Today they were going to show just games. Nobody expected price or release. Even the Sony show, PS5 hardware was shown due to them entering production and not wanting some factory worker to reveal it before they do.
Niall has actually put a ban on my account being banned so @Damien can’t do shit I’m afraid.
I thought it was mostly boring. I'm no Halo fan but they made that look more tedious than the req packs from Halo 5.
Well I’ll take your word for it...not that it really matters, I’ll be pre-ordering both whatever.Halo has always been a series I'll love forever, 1 is up there with Goldeneye for greatest console FPS moments. But that just looks more of the same, nothing special at all. I'll still play the hell out of it though
As for Forza, unless it suddenly goes back to it's roots I'm not in the slightest bit interested.

Funny how people continue to use Xbox games also being on PC as a negative when it's companies making sure you buy their console by tying developers down that should really be the issue they have.
Yeah. It's a phrase they use to make you think it is console exclusive when it isn't. Funnily enough, a week ago Phil Spencer reiterated that he didn't like exclusive games, and they showed 22 timed ones today.
It works for me, I'll be playing their games on PC. I think this was an interesting showcase for gamepass, not so much Series X though.
MAJOR AGREE. Entering the world for the first time when you crash land on Halo CE was so incredible. It was a really different vibe but I also really liked Halo ODST.Halo is brilliant. My current console is the Xbox One Halo 5 Guardians special edition
Series x is gonna be a proper failure, isn't it?
Why?
PS5 will outsell it. Doesn’t make it a failure though especially as I think the gap won’t be as big as it was gen.
Xbox one sold nearly 50m despite not having any killer exclusive.
Oh and like someone told you before MS do not care where you play. If you play on PC you are giving them money. If you play on X then you are doing the same. For them it’s how many people they can get on gamepass rather than how many sales they make from consoles that make little profit.
It was hour long stream to sell Gamepass. MS needs to focus on quality of games rather than quantity.
And they're all on game pass.
Far from it.
Some good quality games there tbh. The smaller unknown games were similar to what Sony showed at their event.
Gamepass is brilliant, you could buy the console with just a £10 sub and have about 200 quality games to play at launch.
Considering Xbox one which is one of the worst console ever marketed sold close to 30m before Xbox one x was introduced shows the grip Xbox has on American market.
PS5 will out-sell it no doubt about it but Xbox Series X won't be a failure. It's quite powerful machine and MS seems to have understood the mistake they made with Xbox one.

For the past 7 years PlayStation fans have been saying Xbox have no games now they show an hour of nothing but games it Xbox has too many games.
To be honest I hardly get time to play 1 game a month so I usually pick the best game available. Gamepass doesn't really interest me personally but I can see the appeal. But the whole show was designed around that.
I was merely talking as a potential customer and I see no reason to buy XSX yet. Although I do like the look of STALKER which is a timed exclusive. Rest was underwhelming.
I liked quite a lot there, new HALO of course, STALKER 2 was long awaited. The Medium which is supposed to be spiritual succesor to Silent Hill, Obsidians new Epic Fantasy game Avowed which we saw very little of, but Obsidian know their shit, also FABLE reboot, great stuff!
Why is PlayStation relevant in this discussion?
Silent Hill is rumoured to be coming on PS5 and maybe will get announced in August state of play.
Fable is MMO it seems. That would be a huge disappointment.
Gamepass is more important to them anyway and what all this is really about. They'll make more money, build more stickiness and it'll live far beyond the console. Once Cloud gaming is more of a reality, whenever that is, they'll be well placed and pick up market share from gamers who don't buy consoles.
If it's Konami only doing it, they might as well not bother again. But if Kojima is involved or someone else, then sure.
*points at yellow banner above reply box* there's a thread for console comparison.

From the replies by verified Era posters, the new Fable game will be MMO-lite/GaaS game. Not really surprising as wouldn't expect an AAA single player game of the quality of that five second trailer on Game Pass day one.

I think the xbox one gained a lot of sales from how excellent the 360 was, and people expected that quality to be upheld. A bit like how in football fans of a team will have renewed faith in a new season, but within gaming I think that faith only gives you an extra season before people become more skeptical.
Personally I don't care for xbox, but I care a lot about the competition and how it improves gaming in general, and the talk about disliking exclusives is consumer friendly and I naturally like that.
I just think they are in for a terrible start to the generation due to a lack of faith from what were fans from the 360 who to my limited knowledge came across as very dissappointed with the current generation despite having superior hardware (going on my memory for that), and the lack of exclusives not being there to entice potential new customers.
Naturally the potential negatives I see are guesswork on my part, so there is no reason for people who think it'll be a mega-success to be too annoyed. I know Microsoft got a lot of good studios now so they could turn it around for the Series X itself by making things temporarily Series X exclusive before releasing them for PC later on, but by how things look now I don't think that is the plan.
I do hope Fable 4 plays similar to Fable 1 (haven't tried 2, and 3 was shite) as I loved the original and still play it from time to time.
The only game I truly wish I could play that I feel I've missed out on by not owning xbox-consoles is Lost Odyssey, but good lord I wish that game came to PC someday. If you or others know of games at the quality of Lost Odyssey within the rpg or specifically jrpg genre that I might have missed feel free to tempt me to buy a xbox.
Yes really. This isn't a comparison thread and nor I was attempting at one. Maybe you need to stop being so defensive about Xbox. I wanted to see AAA budget title and there was none.
Fable has been "rumoured" as pointed in other reply. It's not confirmed but the same source had leaked the entire Xbox games lineup for today's show , so it's a big possibility that it is true.
Which is all good. I just fnd it odd that people often use it as a point to shit on Xbox, even though the point should surely be that you can’t play Sony stuff where you’d rather play it.
