I disagree. I have no stats to back this but from my experience, Gears of War has had one of the largest following of female gamers as far as Xbox exclusives are concerned. So I think Coalition want to expand on this demographic. Saying that, I do agree when the main protagonist is JD, the campaign's main playable character should be that. Its like they haven't learnt from 343i's mistakes. Kate would be an awesome character to play and have an engaging storyline without the baggage of the previous games in the franchise, however it would be best placed as an expansion for the main game.
"World premier" - basically see the trailer here 30 seconds before it is up on Youtube.
I guess I was a little turned off seeing Nier so early on. Just a lot of games I'm not really into throughout the reveal and even Horizon left me kind of flat. Maybe I just had too much hype.
I saw a tweet that said Ninja Theory would finish Scalebound. No idea if that was just some random twiterer, or an insider or what.
I'm not sure if its comparable to Halo. People love the Chief and I question how much attachment anyone has to JD. I couldn't even remember his name while they were showing it last night.
If they want to do that its fine but I hate the idea of them talking up creative freedom only to put them on a failed game so they can get a feel good moment of bringing it back.
When they showed Halo then Ori to start us off, I thought they would have a lot of first party stuff. Spencer is an amazing salesman.
Did any of you guys notice the game- Harold Halibut? It's an ID@xbox game that looks like it was handmade. Apparently everything WAS handmade and then 3d scanned and, I'm assuming uses photogametry. It doesn't look like 3d graphics at all. looks like a stop-motion game. Check it out
they cant magically make exclusives, what they showed last night was that they are actually committed for the future, they bought bloody 5 studios (and created 1 brand new)
i just hope they give those games room to breathe, i hope they dont panic after the first game from the studio doesnt do 5m

Overnight
Yeah, cause it hasn't been 3 years since they last announced something...or nearly a decade since this lackluster exclusive period began. They bought 5 stuidos. 2 of which already make exclusive games for them. Only 1 of which is a quality AAA dev.
but they didnt have the studios... so who you expecting to magically make the games?Overnight

Exactly. They didn't have the studious...took them nigh on a decade to do anything...and 2 of those 5 they bought aren't likely to bring anything new. Playground will do Forza and if the heavy rumours are true they will be doing Fable. Undead Labs will be doing State of Decay. That is 2 of the 5 down.
Not including non exclusive announcements but the they were handled nicely.
This list is off the top of my head(I'm sure I am forgetting something)
Halo Infinite+(got the 1st time I saw CE flash blacks with that footage)
Forza Horizon 4+ looked great,fun and has a 60fps mode...YES
Ori 2+(price it right and i'll bite)
Crackdown 3+
Gears....GEARS 5!+

Surprised not to hear anything about the X-enhanced Master Chief Collection. I figured for sure they'd have a release date. No BC announcements at all was a bit of a letdown. No new games, no old games.
I'm feeling less positive about the conference today than I was yesterday. I have to give MS credit for putting on a really well-constructed and entertaining show. It was very good as a show, with lots of games and exciting reveals.
But there was a big failure in a critical area, and that was of course the lack of new exclusives. I was expecting 2, hoping for 3. There were none, zero. This was really the area where MS needed to prove themselves, and they didn't. It was just more Forza, Gears, and a new Halo by 2020 if you're lucky. Oh and Crackdown again. The way I interpreted it, MS was pretty much saying "That's all she wrote" for this generation, see you next round. B-.

If those Forza , Gears and Halo games are good I dont see a problem. New IPs are great and I am sure we will see them but great games are great games.

One theory is that Those that escaped Cortana had to go back to Pre-Forerunner infused Tech to keep her out of their systems. Makes sense. The Legendary ending from Halo 5 showed another Halo Ring.
yes that art style got my attention but no one was talking about it. Glad you picked that up.
NiceAlso I’m not at the Bethesda show, but they did give us tickets to another EA event..?
Here’s the swag bag:
And I had a drink with GordoSan! Nice to finally meet up. We’re going to plow through E3 on Tuesday.
Man, I'm completely hyped for the new Gears 5... I like the new direction they're taking things and Rod is delivering on his promise to mix it up for sure. Kinda got some Deadspace vibes from it.
I saw that video for Ninja Theory on why they were bought out by MS. I noticed they said they plan on doing MANY games. That is pretty awesome.
I'd like to see MCC on Windows 10. If the new one is going to be on there and possibly 5 judging by above picture, it would be nice to see it come to Win10 for those that haven't played it at all, or in a long time like myself.
You don't? Lack of big, new exclusives has been the main criticism of the Xbox over the past 2 or 3 years.
I get it, though. If you love Halo, Gears, and Forza, I guess that might be enough to keep you satisfied.
Its not like they haven't tried to launch new IPs. Sunset overdrive , Quantum Break, Sea of thieves, Cuphead, Ori , Recore, Killer Instinct. Some of them were average games some of them were pretty good.
I love Halo, but they needed a lot more Halo to make me happy. Obviously what little we got means the new game is a long way away and nothing at all on MCC was surprising?
If a longtime Xbox/Halo fan walks away from an event like that and didn't get enough Halo... someone messed up.
Horizon is also a ton of fun, but there's only so much they can do with that.
