So not even one new IP?

Those are probably coming from the studios they just bought and it's likely too early for them to have anything to show, especially since most of them were B and C level studios and weren't very big so they'll need to be staffed up.
 
yeah someone give us all the times here so i dont have to go looking myself
 
lots of great games no doubt, and lots of Xbox Game Studios games, but I was a little disappointed that we didn't get a megaton
 
Looks like MS went home.

Conference was boring. 60 games and came away not excited for any of them.
 
Gears 5 coming out soon and they have nothing new to show of it besides CGI of a new mode?

If they have a press demo it's going to be annoying, if this is all they brought because the studio is trying to finish the game I guess I can understand it but to me it just makes E3 seem less relevant.
 
I want most of the games shown, but was hoping for Fable.
 
There wasn't even a gameplay demo for anything. CG trailers everywhere. Gears 5 is out in 3 months and they just showed a CG trailer...
 
It was the kind of show I thought they would have. I figured they would leave the big guns for next year.

Their biggest problem was people going in with huge expectations.

I thought they would show at least one new IP. I guess Bleeding Edge is that. Idk
Hopefully they can get their structure set up and start competing next year.

Yep. I'd give it 7/10. I got overhyped. There was substance. Game Pass value is insane. Problem was Halo and Gears showings missed the mark. Gears showing specifically a little tone deaf. I was excited by the Ninja Theory game but combination of NT and Coalition not showing campaigns got Youtubers ready to sell Xbox's. Microsoft still doesn't know how to connect with the enthusiasts. With NT's game being multiplayer, they should've balanced that out with Gears campaign. People actively wondering how well campaign is going if Coalition isn't showing it months before launch.

Multiple insiders said there's another studio. Looks like Microsoft wasn't ready to show it. Supposed to be 3 studios total. Double Fine, internal Age of Empires team and someone else.

Edit: more notes....and these come from really reputable people with good track records. Not only was there supposed to be another studio, rumor from a lot of people was PlayStation gamers would care about this one. Supposed to be a big announcement in the mix. Looks like Microsoft held back on a few things.

Some saying to watch the Nintendo show for something.

Gears got a pretty underwhelming showing too. Its their biggest game of the year and they didn't act like it at all.

Pretty much everything missed the mark.

All flash with no substance. Quantity instead of quality.
