Added 2024-06-10 16:00:18 +0000 UTCAfter months of dooming, Xbos fans needed a big win. In the humble opinion of the Dukes, Xbox absolutely delivered on all levels. Missing games finally received needed up dates with Perfect Dark and State Of Decay 3. The Coalition finally gets the spotlight in a shocking Gears announcements: a prequel set during E-Day! Furthermore, tons of third party showed up in a big way from a new Life Is Strange featuring Max Caufield to a stunning turn-based gem in Expedition 33. Returning games like Fable, Avowed, South Of Midnight, and Indiana Jones among others all showed out! Truly, it was one for the books, so join us as we recap one of the best ever showcases to go down in gaming.

Surprised Matty wasn’t into Mixtape. I’m not even from that era but that game looks sick. My 2nd fave from the showing after Life Is Strange. #Showcase24

2024-06-12 15:14:13 +0000 UTCGreat showcase but I really didn’t like the style they went for in ‘South of Midnight’. Gives me a headache watching it for some reason.

2024-06-12 11:45:22 +0000 UTCI honestly don’t know what they’re talking about when they saw gameplay. Yes there was gameplay shown, however, it was clear they wanted to show only certain parts of gameplay. In my opinion, that means two things. One, they’re not confident in their games. Or, They’re afraid to show too much due to the lack of gameplay in their first party games. I could be just cynical, but personally, I wasn’t satisfied.

2024-06-11 22:01:30 +0000 UTCLook, I don't like cinematic trailers either I want to see gameplay, but both WoW and Diablo 4 are already out. You know what the gameplay is. They're expansions to a game that already exists that you've already played. There's nothing wrong with a cinematic trailer for an expansion that's setting up the story and getting you hyped to find out what happens. Not to mention that some of the best trailers of all time are cinematic trailers like the Gears "Mad World" trailer or the Diablo 2 trailer with the old man. Again, I want to see gameplay as much as the next guy but y'all gotta chill just a little

2024-06-11 15:49:14 +0000 UTCGreat show! I love that Gears is going back and really don't care if they finish the sequel trilogy Also, Cog do you have a bird? I swear I'm hearing a squaking parrot or something 😂

2024-06-11 14:16:54 +0000 UTCBest E3 still is the E3 of dreams where Shenmue 3 was announced, FF7 Remake, Last Guardian release date, Horizon:Zero Dawn debut with gameplay, street fighter V gameplay, No mans Sky, Dreams, Batman:Arkham Knight Reveal., Uncharted 4 gameplay Ending the show. E3 2016 i would say is also in there with gameplay and reveal of God of war 2018, Days Gone, Spiderman 2018, Detroit Resident Evil 7 reveal, PSVR announcement reveal, Kojima's reemergence with Death Stranding.

2024-06-11 09:58:45 +0000 UTCI don't know how many "It's over. We're back" I have left in me. Can we just stay over or back?

2024-06-10 19:47:17 +0000 UTCI was worried about the two hour time rate after SGF dragged on the way it did . That was a banger and shot into the arm of the gaming industry needed . Tho I can’t wait for this soulslike fad to end . 10/10

2024-06-10 18:15:47 +0000 UTCAll time great show by Xbox, goes toe to toe with the best e3 shows ever imo. Only one that comes to mind is the infamous e3 where Sony kept dunking on Xbox with the ps4 price and way of sharing games. I don’t even have an Xbox and I felt like I was watching an e3 show, it just brought that level of excitement. Phil spencer had a “I’m not finished with yet” moment and just brought the GAMES

2024-06-10 17:45:28 +0000 UTCIDK man, call it recency bias, but I can't remember a showcase where I wanted to play every single game like this one. Now I just need them to deliver lol
Meatball
2024-06-10 17:37:24 +0000 UTCI’m looking forward to a few of these games. I’ll definitely be playing Perfect Dark and Gears of War. I hope they have a section in perfect dark where you get to use the Farsight.

2024-06-10 16:55:08 +0000 UTCSo ready to hear some professional impressions regarding a phenomenal Xbox showcase. Theres too much chatter coming from the Kindergarten console war table. Time to let the adults speak.

2024-06-10 16:47:41 +0000 UTCSure was. Congrats boys! Happy for Xbox fans everywhere. Things were looking dire for a moment there.

2024-06-10 16:30:03 +0000 UTCIt was a good showcase but calling it one of the best in gaming history is a little hyperbolic.
