Expedition 33 is one of the biggest highlight from the show for me.

Got to love when fans do it for themselves and celebrate it.

To this point. Iāve heard people question what is the point of a first party platform like Xbox if all / most of the first party games go multi platformā¦
Well thatās a pretty good reason why itās still important for Xbox to have hardware . The platform holders are or at least should be the first publishers to go all in on next gen releases before the traditional third party publishers can take that leap which comes with financial risks.
SMH how quick yall forget the initiative was the first AAAA studio

I didnt realise Atomfall is based in Cumbria, the quarantine zone is based on an alternative history of the windscale disaster. Very cool as thats where i live near.

This was a 9/10 showcase for meāone of Xboxās best. Itās crazy to think weāre only a year or two away from a new Fable, Perfect Dark and Gears of War. Way to get back to the roots of the platform. Additional kudos for not needing to flex Halo or Forza which really speaks to the depth of the first-party portfolio.

I donāt even know how Xbox will ever top this Showcase, it was freaking awesome , I guess they will be shopping for studios again if they want to keep this.
Oh cool, do you have two heads?

Hey I took some time to reflect and think about the showcase! I loved it!! 10/10!! The theme for this showcase was 2018 and 360! The studios Microsoft bought in 2018 showed up and showed out! I was shocked we got gameplay for South of Midnight, Perfect Dark and Fable. Also early in engine looks at State of Decay 3 and Gears of War E day! If Xbox Games Studios can keep this up Xbox will be the best publisher in the world! Avowed looks incredible and has a 3rd person mode! I love reading about the synergy and sharing of tools like Obsidian giving their shared world tech to Undead Labs so everyone playing together in State of Decay 3 will have the same resources. The Coalition helping so many studios with Unreal Engine 5! They will crack the code and get those games looking great and running at 60fps on Xbox Series X! Fable looks incredible! I canāt believe a racing studio can make humans look so damn good as well as the environments as you walk and run. I said the wild cards for Matt Booty would be Undead Labs and Compulsion. They both leveled up and Iām excited for those games. Perfect Dark looks incredible! The gameplay was them telling all these āinsiderā to stuff it with develop issues. Making games is hard but once you get a rhythm you can dominate! Welcome back Agent Dark!! Starfield is cooking!! Iām excited we can craft ammo!! It was great to see Activison with Call of Duty Black Ops 6. Blizzard is cooking with World of Warcraft and Diablo IV! I was watching the Xbox showcase stream they had at one point 550k watching it live! I never saw an Xbox showcase with that amount of people watching! Maybe itās Call of Duty, maybe itās Xbox putting their games on PlayStation and Nintendo but it is amazing to see gamers appreciate the hard work from Activision, Bethesda, Blizzard & Xbox Games Studios! Hey and Xbox Era we definitely need the 360 book with all these 360 titles coming back in a big way!

What an idiotic thing to ask.
Watched some reactions by some Tubers and I agree with them. This is how you do a show. You have very few cinematic only trailers and the other trailers all at least show gameplay. Some more than the other. The smaller games are kept to a minimum, which I personally prefer and they had a good amount of visual stunners.
And the messaging was clear with ācinematic and ingameā or āin engineā. Clarity is everything. This MUST be their shows every year from here on out. In the past shows it would bog down after a while. It would start strong and then after certain uninteresting games it would become the lesser half. Not here!
Honestly, I donāt think āin engineā is very clear. The other two descriptions tell me exactly what Iām looking at. In engine, I have no idea what it means lol.
In engine at this point basically means using in game assets and what their final target for what the game will actually look like when it releases but hasnāt literally been captured āin gameā
At least thatās my understanding

It isnt that clear. But its closer to ingame than cinematic. Or at least the quality they are going for (outside of post etc). Would that scene run on series x at that quality? No likely not. But its the same tech that will be seen in game and not using a renderfarm.
Its all very silly.

Itās been clear we were going to see this, and this would be the norm. Xbox went from 5 first party studios to well over 40 teams. They will be able to have first party only showcases that can fill an hour easy

What was your opinion on Ubisoft Forward?

I expect them to have way fewer games than the others. Shadows and Outlaws look amazing, that makes it a success for me. I donāt expect UBI to put out more than 2 huge games a year.
