The thing nobody thinks about with Game Pass is DLC. DLC is almost never included with Game Pass so I worry that more content will shift to the DLC at extra cost.
This is possible but I honestly do not mind paying a little up front to try games and then if I want everything it offers I can spend a little more.

My bigger worry is this happening and then the game gets pulled. Then I have owned DLC with no base game.

DLC has always been an added cost and deferred development was already a problem. The difference now is there will be MORE incentive to make a quality game that has to compete with the rest of the games on Game Pass in order to secure that money. Good games will stand out; cash grabs will get shutdown and shit on day one because there's no incentive to play garbage games like Anthem after a few hours if you paid nothing for it.

I don't think this will happen because that isn't a really viable model. Most big games that aren't Xbox Game Studio titles don't come to GamePass until after their initial release period of about six months to a year. (There are outliers like Shadow of the Tomb Raider because they tanked hard at launch) They still want to sell as many copies as they can in that initial window. If word of mouth spreads that they shipped an incomplete game, the sales are going to dry up fast. I know there were other factors, but consider the lack of content available at launch for Anthem and how it is pretty much dead and could be the final nail in the coffin for BioWare.
 
I'm old and this is the first E3 in a while where I was legit excited and then come here and there's one spoiled assed kid being negative cuz of whatever reason. "Sony won without going" or wtf ever. Like just let people be happy, go play with a doll of hair, cut eyes out of pictures, something. "Well I'm not alone in my misery, there's OTHERS" Good for you, now quit eating the sand in the box already

LIVING OUR DREAMS

 
Ehhh the Conference was just okay, the fact they showed more Gameplay on Gears Pops than Gears 5 or Halo etc was a stinker. As a PC gamer I loved the stuff they showed and introduced 

 
So the messaging from both Sony and Microsoft about the PS5 and Scarlett suggests both will have custom SSDs as their HDs. Given the cost (and size) of decent non-specialized SSDs for laptops, it feels to me like it's gonna be a feat to have a console with all the bells and whistles these will have and a 1 TB SSD (and, like, would you buy a console with less than 1 TB of on-board storage at this point?) and come in at or under $500 unless one company or the other wants to take a bath on the console for a while.

I also wonder how loud that might be, given that I'm typing on a laptop with an SSD that rarely stops whirring.
The numbers that they purchase their components in will help make $400 or $500 more feasible for their launch plans, especially with another year for costs to go down. My PC is about six years old at this point with an SSD as the master drive and it's completely silent even when playing games. SSDs are quiet drives because there are no moving parts, so that won't add to the noise.

 
by the way Supermarket Shriek is amazing so far, you don't have to play co-op even, but if you do you'll want to murder them like Overcooked

 
Releasing one tidbit of information each post and acting hurt or insulted isnt helping. Ok you got 4 X1s, you are a hardcore MS fan, never bought a CoD or madden in recent years and you thought MS sucked. So much that Sony won the game they didnt even play. And MS would've sucked harder had Sony played. Right?


Got it and I am with you. MS sucked. I dont even play CoD or Madden but only have one XB1, hope that's fine.

Let others have their fun, just because you and I didnt like it doesn't mean we have to poop on their fun.
Agreed.

Just really surprised when I seen people saying the conference was great and awesome and shit when other places are saying the exact opposite.

Didn’t even think of that.

I’m more worried about buying a season pass for a game and then it gets removed from game pass and I’m fucked cause it’s usually cheaper to buy the game + dlc bundled nowadays

Take into account devs would actually be building at something with a known SSD and optimizing for that, still not something that happens with a wide range of PC builds.

 
I don't take sides, I love games regardless of platform. Personally I thought Xbox E3 was great! Biggest news was the strengthening of Game Pass. Future is bright for sure! The list of games now is solid, upcoming games look strong, and added PC gaming? Yes please!! I'll say it, if Game Pass Ultimate does not excite you, you clearly aren't a gamer at heart.

There were lots of other exciting announcements for me. Wish we saw some gameplay of Halo and Gears (especially since Gears is playable in MS stores). Scarlett we already knew about and we knew it was gonna launch late 2020. Minecraft Dungeons looks legit fun and Forza Lego looks even more fun!

I will say that even though this was solid, they did miss a chance to be even better. Should have done some kind of Xbox SAD + Game pass ultimate bundle.

Anyway, solid conference. 8/10 easy.

Better than Sony this year for sure... (Thumbs down to them skipping out).

I’m more worried about buying a season pass for a game and then it gets removed from game pass and I’m fucked cause it’s usually cheaper to buy the game + dlc bundled nowadays
you worry too much, your game you bought DLC for will get removed from GamePass eventually if it's not MS first party. Now did you not pay for the base game and think you got your enjoyment out of just paying for that extra DLC, that's up for you to decide.

That's clearly the angle some games are going for, and strengthened by the 20% discount GP games eventually get. Personally I'm still fine with with this setup because it's basically guaranteed that the game will be cheaper by the time it leaves GP. Or you could be waiting for GOTY versions at that point with the same mindset.

 
I'm old and this is the first E3 in a while where I was legit excited and then come here and there's one spoiled assed kid being negative cuz of whatever reason. "Sony won without going" or wtf ever. Like just let people be happy, go play with a doll of hair, cut eyes out of pictures, something. "Well I'm not alone in my misery, there's OTHERS" Good for you, now quit eating the sand in the box already
Listen my guy at least I’m shitting on a company’s conference, y’all really so mad someone thought it was bad that y’all are assuming shit about me and attacking me(I don’t care tbh but it’s mad ironic) instead of coming with counterpoints and are acting like I attacked ms fans(which I am one).

Has nothing to do with being spoiled also that makes no sense.
 
The thing I worry about with Project Scarlett and PS5 is hard drive space... okay you’re both making the best SSD ever invented but unless that sucker is 16TB I’m still going to be watching load screens when I’m playing the new 250gb CoD game in full 4K off my external hard drive. Unless the cloud is loading half the game in which case gg to everyone with a bandwidth cap, you might as well get Stadia if your going to be steaming it all from a server...
 
Am I the only one that thought "Book of Wright" was going to turn into a Dragonball game reveal?

I was very happy with the Xbox conference. Highlights for me were Keanu and the Project Z reveal.  I would like liked to see some actual gameplay for Gears 5, but I'm still excited to see what's next in the series.

Wish the indy showcase had some more time rather than a montage. I'm especially looking forward to Blazing Chrome.

I hope Bethesda has a better show than EA.

I think were talking 2 different drives on the system, a mass storage and a SSD that's more like the PCIE stick computers use now. Granted internal storage on consoles has been way overpriced this whole gen compared to what you can get external with USB 3.0 and also at faster speeds.

 
For those wondering about (a small tidbit of) info regarding back compat and cross play for Scarlett, the info posted to Halo Waypoint says it’s releasing for both console generations.

“And at E3, we’re also pleased to announce that Halo Infinite will debut in Holiday 2020 on Xbox One, PC and our next generation of consoles, Project Scarlett.”

Kinda pumped I don’t have to get the new system day 1, but it’s available and will play better for those who do. Plus it’ll be on Game Pass so I don’t even have to buy the game!

That's one reason I'll probably skip playing Wolfenstein II, Prey, etc on gamepass and wait for the complete to hit the $10-15 range. There's already so much on gamepass without dlc I want to play I can wait and if I decide I can't it's there to try out to make sure I really want it.

 
Turn on your Xbox and look at the games ready to install. I saw a bunch of games I never purchased or downloaded on game pass.
 
The GF texted me today asking if she could 'reserve' some time on the Xbox tonight for RDR2. She started it while I was on a work trip and is now hooked. 

I've created a monster.

 
So Metro Exodus is PC only for GamePass?
Nah, I downloaded it from the website because the store kept crashing from my Xbox dashboard, hollow Knight, borderlands handsome collection (with new dlc for B2) and arkham Knight I believe are free now with game pass

Serves you right, now you'll know how we feel - with a wife who keeps hogging the TV & a son a who keeps snatching the controller away coz it's his turn. Its always his turn. Thankfully the mom usually puts an end to the argument by taking away everyone's TV time. *eye roll*

How about this? I didn't say shit to you until you wanted me to know you're no hater since you own 4 X1s. I said cool story, you do you. You just won't let it go. Every post you want to add more to your "cred" while shitting on someone or the E3 brief. I mean man, you posted in an Xbox Deals thread that Sony won without trying. Nothing to back it up, just flame fuel. You got your damn party, your damn attention so live with it. There are those of us that we're excited for a change, you weren't. Good, go sulk in the damn corner and let us have our happy moments.

Damn man, you pulled the damn trigger about a company and can't fathom disagreement? On the internet?
 
Come on guys, let's get ready to shit on something that really deserves it, like however Bethesda is about to try and spin Fallout 76.
I still don't understand the hate TBH. I still actively play the game each week, if only for an hour. Anthem deserved what it got for its crimes against humanity, however.

 
For those wondering about Tales of Arise, it's on Xbox One and PS4. If it's anything like the remaster of Tales of Vesperia, you'll want the Ps4 version if you have one. As the X1 version ran at 30 FPS most of the time, while the PS4 version was 60 FPS the whole time.

Also, guessing the 360 deals won't be announced until sometime monday night(during their usual sale times).

i wish we knew what the mixpot was
Making me wonder if it's a bunch of crap this time. Better not be more Sea of Thieves stuff, that game has gotten old for most.

It was okay.
Lots of multiplats/indies and some of those looked cool, but only a trickle of new exclusives (Flight Sim, AoE2 Definitive, Bleeding Edge, Minecraft Dungeons, Crossfire X). It's obvious that they're saving the real announcements for next E3 (we didn't even get a Fable 4 announcement).

I appreciate that it was 90% games (I really wish they had given Scarlett specs but I get they're trying not to let Sony one-up them) but I think it went a little long due to bloat from the aforementioned multiplats/indies (some of them were flat-out not exciting at all either, particularly on the indie side) and I wish there had been actual gameplay trailers for more games. Halo Infinite's trailer was especially underwhelming.

Biggest hype moments were Cyberpunk with Keanu, Flight Sim, Game Pass stuff, Psychonauts 2 and Phantasy Star Online 2. The Bamco stuff (Tales and Elden Ring) might have joined the list if not for the leaks.

Battletoads' art looks like ass, Gears 5 does not look particularly good (Terminator skin is neat) and the Funko thing still seems very out of place for Gears. No Gears Tactics news either, have to wonder if it was shelved.

Wasn't a bad show by any means. I think last year's may have been better though.

I think there are things to like about the game but almost every game design choice they made is really questionable to me, before even going into the much worse than average technical state that the game launched in.

Just about every game will do some things that help gain it some kind of following like yourself, but when you're in that minority it's worth stepping back and seeing why it was so poorly received. Anthem is getting worse heat now because it's Bioware proper published by EA, but the real issue is they completely ignored the mistakes their competitors made, and have done a piss poor job of correcting the ship.

I don't think Bethesda is going to win me over on 76, but I will acknowledge that they have been at least trying to do stuff to improve the game on a regular basis.

 
Think I'll wait for reviews on Elite 2, Im on 4th Elite and I dont want to deal with drift, bumpers falling off, or grips peeling again
