most of those games were multi platform or we all knew about them srs, also gears tactics and pop? does every microsoft shooter needs a tactics game now and random smartphone game?

tbh crackdown seemed awful like a poor neon styled just cause, and most of their game play footage was from multi-platform games.

I just hope tales of vesperia is not an xbox one exclusive.
it isn't, it didn't said console exclusive it was just world premiere so it will be on ps4 for sure.

Honestly, the conference exceeded my expectations.
Battletoads, DMC5, more KH3, Gears 5, Cyberpunk 2077, Ori, Tomb Raider, and Halo.
And soooo many more.

Can't wait for Bethesda's!

first negative thing
funko pop gears of war game
That was hilarious - massive whoops, then talk about trolled, highlight of the show for me! (Probably a good job they pulled out Gears 5 later on)
Lots of new games, and a more diverse line-up than previous years ...but no major news, and like has already been said, not a lot that's exclusive. Oh well, roll on Sony and Nintendo....

the problem is only gears and halo are exclusives which makes people struggle to find a reason to buy an xbox really, also saying they are already making the next xbox just proves xbox one x flopped hard really.
