No love for Kinect. Perhaps it's the child Microsoft wished it never had with its Xbox.

The conference was disappointing in the sense that there was nothing on display truly mind-blowing, nothing that floored me. It was a steady performance nonetheless with lots and lots of games shown and they were good games, most definitely.

Coming to Indie games, a special mention for "Inside" from the creators of Limbo. Lovely.

New-gen is in full force. Exciting times ahead.

That was a C+ to B-

Things I liked:
Horizon
Sunset Overdrive
Alex Rigopulos
The Division
It's a B- from me but Jack Tertton gave them an A. :p

It was a good press conference. They showed lots of games back to back and showed their dedication towards gaming. Though I felt they might have went through the games a little bit too fast. And many of the games were just trailers, I expected a bit more gameplay from some games.

I liked Ori and The Blind Forest, the Sunset Overdrive gameplay and Crackdown.

Donno i m lost!!
its a good day to be a XBO owner. so many exclusives and great games. no TV/Kinect BS and non-stop games made this a memorable E3 conference. if only halo5's trailer wasn't so disappointing. anyway looking forward to evolve and halo5 BETA. Phil spencer owned the show floor kinda like how Jack did last E3 :)

Dance Central.
Little love then. Today's conference was in sharp contrast to their earlier ones where Kinect was the center of attention. They barely mentioned it apart from that brief look at Dance Central.

Makes me think they're gradually phasing it out. At least from the gaming scene, that is.

Man.... CGI trailers everywhere. Gotta give them points for nailing the "Games only" part.

Platinum Games project and Hideki Kamiya on stage - best part for me.
Loved the two indie games Inside and Ori and the Silent Forest.

Overall, I honestly wasn't excited for much of the duration of conference. Also ntkrl proved to be fully legit with almost each of his leak, lol.

Pretty much my impressions also. I'm a bit more excited for Sunset Overdrive too, but the rest was just passively boring. INSIDE is the best reveal for me.

    Consoles were my main platform ever since Atari 2500. But now I think it's not worth it as PC especially with DLSS deliver far smoother performance. AW2 on console didn't even had ray tracing and ran below 30fps. Similar issues plagues DD2 on consoled.
    The cross gen era really made people think 60fps would be a new standard lol

    Welp, done with Hellblade 2. Thoroughly disappointed. Such a nothing burger after the unique experience of the first game.

    I have a PS5 but I am not satisfied with the experience. I am currently saving for a 4080 64 GB rig soon. Bit will wait for Pro if performance improves. This gen has been so bad I don't plan on buying consoles anymore for AAA gaming.

    Both PS and Xbox have been a flop this gen as they can barely maintain 30 fps in a lot of AAA games th.

    As per WCCF Tech review, Xbox Series X doesn't even maintain a consistent FPS and sometimes drops into the mid-20fps range. That's unacceptable, tbh.

    Gradually transitioning from console gaming to PC as the games are not worth it. 6 hours of Hellblade 2 is just not worth the $50 price tag.
    Score 1 for game pass. I wouldn't pay full price for this at retail either.

    Just downloaded my first legit digital PC game on GoG at a discount of $8: Two Point Hospital. The same team behind Theme Hospital Two Point Studios now part of Sega. And I am having more fun than most recent AAA games except of course BG3.

    Still, I don't like either Sony or Microsoft as they are focusing more on corporate greed than delighting customers. PC gaming is best of gaming and worth every penny.

    PC Gamer score of 58/100 for Hellblade 2??? Is it really worse than Gollum that was 64/100? Microsoft games can't even come close to high scores of Sony exclusives apparently.

    first one is 84 Opencritic. Saga dropped to 82.

    About the Microsoft (and Sony) debate, I feel both have become too greedy and losing their minds over corporate greed. Personally, I will never buy any console next gen and switch to PC gaming where democracy reins.
