Microsoft has been trailing behind Sony and the other publishers’ press conference over the past few years. Many of us were disappointed even with more than 50 reveals at the Microsoft E3 press conference last year because of the lack of exclusives. This year, it’s a little step up from what Microsoft had at E3 2017, but it still falls flat on many occasions.
New reports indicate that Sony Interactive Entertainment and Insomniac Games may still have Marvel's Venom in development.
In an exclusive interview with Game File, new(ish) Xbox boss Asha Sharma and Xbox chief content officer Matt Booty explain their vision for Microsoft’s gaming division
These classics need to make a return.
Pre-ordered mine a few days ago. Love this concept and hope there are more games announced. I can’t justify paying the prices for games that collectors are asking for. It’s the primary reason I own almost every console except the Neo Geo.
Overall Microsoft conference = 7.5/10
Now open a Japanese-based game studio and Sony will finally get serious from you.
Was a great show. Excellent format. No overly long segments, no excessive talking.
5 studios. Back to back games. And the message for Xbox and it's future was clear.
New Xbox already in the works by the team that made the Xbox One X.
Really enjoyable
If you like Microsoft's current line up and their IPs, I see it as an A press conference. If you aren't a huge fan, it's still at minimum a B conference.
I'd give it an A-. I'm not a big fan of Halo, Gears Forza, etc. But, they showed a directional change we've wanted for so long and that our industry really needs a we move into the next generation. They showed a movement towards putting pressure on Sony where that pressure needs to be so that they both can be urged to continue to grow, innovate, and deliver the content the community deserves.
It was funny when the Gears logo appeared and those funco pop guys busted out, the audience sure got quiet, LOL.
