i hope thats all for leaks. most of that stuff was known or leaked prior to today, although the slim pictures were surprising.

I think we expected nearly all those leaks, barely anything has been shown of the actual games so far outside a couple screens. 

 

So exclusive AAA titles so far? 

 

ReCore
Scalebound
Crackdown 3
Forza Horizon 3
Gears of War 4
Sea of Thieves
Dead Rising 4
Halo Wars 2

 

Spoiler

Yes I'm we'll aware a lot of these will be releasing on PC as Microsoft owns that platform also :laugh:

I think we'll be surprised with a few more games we didn't expect.

I hope so, these leaks have taken the fun out of watching the console.

I, for one, enjoy seeing the hype train derailed. It's better for consumers in the long run.

Personally it's not the hype, it the surprise of not knowing what's coming. 

 

How does showing it on the actual day differ (or lessen the hype) then if it's shown a few days earlier?

It's really just for the surprise of hearing about new things you didn't already know about.   That's for the opening keynotes/events, the rest of the show is for the hands on gameplay and other details for everything you're interested in.

New Xbox apps for iOS and Android are out or coming soon.

Look just like the Windows 10 PC/Mobile apps, would be interesting if they're planning to stream to them.

Crackdown 3 will hopefully be fantastic, its been 6 years since Crackdown 2 so i'm ready for another crazy, super powered sandbox game!

 

I remember the glitch with the Crackdown 2 Multiplayer demo where you could make the demo time limit stop counting down, that was most welcomed considering the game wasn't out for a couple of months! Probably the only demo we had an Xbox 360 LAN for back in Uni because of that!


Forza Horizon 3 should be interesting too, as much as I enjoy the series I hope they don't start churning a new game out in the Horizon series every 2 years, which is what it's looking like unfortunately. It would be a shame if Horizon became another NFS.

Nah it's more fun seeing Andy stay up late for conferences he ends up regretting out of hype :p

 

By the way a 1TB model is said to be coming as well. It better if MS consider charging this for the 2TB

Not anymore! Skipped Bethesda and pretty happy I did too. It made sense to hold a press event last year for Fallout, but it was not warranted this year. Neither was EA's.

Was there any word about the Microsoft VR situation? I think I remember an article a while back about that.

No VR info yet, maybe later today at their own show.

Probably around the time Scorpio is announced. Partnership with either VIVE or Occulus. I don't see MS doing their own headset, they'll be a bit too late to the game for that.

    • Chrome has history of being the browser everyone uses because Internet Explorer sucks, not realizing that Edge changed that, but people got into the habit of using Chrome. I use Brave and I've never been happier with a browser. It does what it is meant to do and gets out of the way.
    • Wino Mail -> Microsoft Outlook (the new one). Just sayin.
    • Microsoft launches Godot Sample to streamline Xbox PC game development on the engine by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Microsoft today announced a new endeavor that aims to make it simpler for Godot developers to get their products into the Xbox PC ecosystem. Dubbed the "XBOX Godot Sample," this is a new public reference for developers using the open-source engine. This is set to serve as an example of how Microsoft GDK, Xbox Services, and PlayFab can be integrated into their projects. The sample is available now on GitHub as a working example. This covers key features in gaming projects that developers may need to release their projects on Xbox PC, with everything from matchmaking and game sign-in to gamepad compatibility with Godot being covered. This release is being called the first step in giving Godot developers the tools to bring their games over to Xbox PC, with more changes to come based on feedback and issue reports. However, the company was clear that this is not related to bringing Godot projects to Xbox consoles. The engine's open development model stops it from accessing console SDKs due to the requirement of NDAs and legal contracts. Here's how it explained this Godot sample project's focus: This is a source-only sample, not a product. It's MIT-licensed at the wrapper layer; the GDK and PlayFab dependencies still require their own installs and license acceptance, consistent with our other XBOX samples. There is no set update cadence for support or maintenance. We’ll watch the repo, monitor issues, and iterate where it makes sense, but this isn't a commercial release. That said, we’re excited to hear your feedback and see any community PRs, as we evolve this together. This is the first step in bringing Godot for XBOX on PC. We plan to evolve it over time based on what the community tells us is most valuable. This sample is built specifically for XBOX on PC. It doesn’t include support for XBOX Series X|S or XBOX One. If you’re already building for XBOX Series X|S or XBOX One, please talk with your XBOX representative. If not, you can get started by signing up here. Game developers can find the XBOX Godot Sample by heading to GitHub over here. Documentation on how to get started with Godot for building an Xbox PC project can be seen here.
    • I don't understand the vision. Do people really want to buy a new computer from Dell with 6 browsers installed? We all keep asking for Microsoft to stop having so much junk on their OS, and adding a bunch of browsers seems to go against that. Ideally, we would just be asked what browser we want during OOBE but Google is just going to pay Dell a bunch of money to include Chrome. Additionally, would you want your phones to start including all the browsers too when you get them? The only thing I ever wanted was to be able to uninstall IE or edge and I believe you are now able to. I do agree that microsoft needs to chill with their "are you sure you don't want to try edge before you install chrome" ads when going to download chrome.
