whew, microsoft went all out. Good for them.

- think the announcer for the Battletoads trailer was the honest trailers guy.

There's a lot of games. I'll need to rerun that indie montage later, but... Sekiro and Dying Light 2 are clear highlights surprises here. Then cyberpunk and DMC 5

He kept hammering 18 exclusives were shown. Can you guys remember them?

I don't think there are any exclusives that will compel me to buy an Xbox One, to be frank. I need to know more about Black Desert. And I wouldn't mind playing Forza 4, but yeah, as it stands, I won't be buying an Xbox One in the near future.

15 exclusives I believe. For most it's "console launch exclusive" (meaning they'll be on Steam too, and not exclusive to Win10)

Off the top of my head:

Halo
Ori
Tunic
Pubg
Gears x2
Forza
Black Desert
Edit: and Crackdown, ofc
-not sure if we should count the new sea of Thieves content as one, but they might be,
-also "session (the skating game)
-and BattleToads
-also Cuphead DLC is another non- Sony game.
/edit

Then there's also Below, Ashen and at least two o other "console launch exclusive" in the clip show.

I'll have to go back and re-watch to tell you more.

Scheduling confusion means I'm about an hour early for my game, so reading feedback using City's wonderful free Wi-Fi.

I can't really argue with Kazooie in terms of: no reason to buy xbone or upgrade to Win 10 yet. But microsoft is definitely gearing up for the NextBox, and buying Ninja Theory will help them fill that action/adventure niche their exclusive lineup's been missing (and where Sony owned them hard). It remains to be seen how Playground will handle an RPG ( supposedly they've been handed Fable), and Compulsion... well, that's a dark horse if there ever was one. The "AAAA" Santa Monica studio will probably try to create a new Microsoft flagship franchise- something story-driven, since that's what the former Crystal Dynamics head should know best.

As for exciting things to look forward to: Metro looks fantastic, and Avellone working on Dying Light 2 makes me super-excited for that game that was probably the single best surprise that no one really talked about in leaks, etc.

Also, Sekiro looks amazing. Must buy the DMC collection and play those.

Really my biggest question now is what the hell Squeeenix is gonna show tomorrow? We've had massive trailers for Tomb Raider, Kingdom Hearts 3 and Just Cause 4 already! What are they holding back?

Okay, other then that bad ass Rage 2 opening, just really a number of announcements and teases.

So now the Fallout 76 portion. Looks like they are putting forth most their effort on this.

[Malankazooie]

Okay, that skit - Skyrim for the Amazon Alexa - is comedy gold

It's nice to see a bit of self-awareness out of them about the Skyrim issue.

[JPK]

"I've read on the internet that our games have had a few bugs." LOL

[Malankazooie]

Holy shit. Fallout 76 is coming this November?

[Malankazooie]

Elder Scrolls Blades announced........ it's free.... for your phone.

[JPK]

I like that 76 is multiplayer, but that it's not apparently taking the full-on mmo approach. I'd love to fuck around with some buddies, but I don't want a full mmo experience in a game ever again really.

Also... nukes... hee.

[Malankazooie]

Oh snap! Just when you think there's nothing left in the tank, he teases Starfield and Elder Scrolls VI!

Damn, I'm curious to know what Starfield is.

[JPK]

I know that there are going to be a few of us on here excited about that new DOOM and I, for one, am very intrigued by co-op Wolfenstein. I've been missing a good co-op shooter like that for awhile.

[Silencer]

The Division was boring. Just endless bullet sponge enemies in a cover shooter that should have been first person and needed a story and a world that felt alive instead of a shooting gallery with endless, pointless loot grinding. Lots of potential, they just dropped the ball.

[Mentalist]

just got home. shower, food, then Devolver, and Beth after

[Mentalist]

Aww, No Serious Sam 4. Ah well. That was still hilarious. And another From Software game. Win-Win.

Onto Beth.

[Maark Abbott]

Literally everything bar Halo 6 cause co-op shenanigans so far: I sleep

Doom: I hibernate

[Mentalist]

lol, starting with a music number. Worse than EA this time.

Ubi's got big shoes to fill with their yearly Just Dance segment this year

Just a liiittle awkward with the 2 devs there. But Beth is trying to pass off as rockstars of the industry

Rage 2 gameplay... my initial impression stands- this is post-apoc Dishonored.... Not like that's a bad thing, mind...

Only now powers come from game progress. And instead of stealth, you are basically killing everyone in creative ways. Yep, definitely a lot to love here.

Card segment. meh. Let's hope this is short. And now ESO... this was slightly longer but still nice and to the point.

Ok, this is Doom. "Eternal"? that sounds... mmo-ish?
-Oh, nope, it's a sequel. Bigger, and probably better. And.... "Hell on Earth?" that's good.

Quake Champions. another meh.

Ok, more Prey
-I appreciate Bethesda's music choices. Definitely must play Dishonored 2 and Prey this year.

New story content for Wolf2- co-op based. And not Wolf VR.

Fallout 76- Let's hear it!

LMAO. way to play with that meme

lots of goodness here and.... Starfield is, in fact, a thing.

.... aaand, TES 6. Knock-outs.

I mean, Daymn. they done gone waaaay all out.

This'll be hard to top.

If TES 6 is next generation I will legit cry. Got my Kleenex ready. To skip current consoles feels like a crime.

Start collecting tissues. Unless this Gen lasts another 5 years, I'm pretty sure we'll be looking at the NextBox. Especially if they're doing StarField first.

RAGE gave me bulletstorm vibes rather. A shooter with powers.
