be a good time till next time get hyped what's up guys welcome to the kind of funny games cast given all of our analysis of xbox's e3 2017 press conference joining me as always one half the coolest dudes in video games Greg miller and life is strange lives before the storm. What up, Chloe. Candy Andy himself. Hey, guys. I'm here, too.

What do you? Okay, let's, let's start with the big, big news. Xbox 1X. Yeah. $499 US dollars. November 7th. All games will be better on it eventually. Sure, yeah.

There's what there's going forward, all the games, going backwards, a couple of the big ones. Sure. What are the gut reactions? Oof. Ouch. The price point. Did not stick the landing on that. I mean, I think in overall,

you talked about it during the conference. This conference was solid. It was not a home run. I don't think, somebody made a joke in here, PlayStation just, as long as they show up tomorrow, they beat them.

I don't think it's that drastic or anything. But I think this was a conference of like, hey, we have 42 games to show you today. And hey, a lot of them are going to seem A to AA. No, I mean,

there's AAA games in there. Obviously, no one's going to sit here. and not talk shit about anthem. But at no point in that conference was I convinced of why, and that's what I talked about before. I was not told why I, Greg Miller,

need to buy an Xbox 1X. You know what I mean? This conference had a message that was very loud and clear to me, which is the Xbox 1X is very equivalent to the PlayStation 4 Pro in terms of where it stands in their lineup.

It is not the next system. There was a lot of back and forth. Like I remember we used to talk to Colin a lot about where does this stand. And for a long time, I predicted that Xbox was lying about the whole all games are going to be playable on both the OG Xbox 1 and the new one. I thought it was

going to be a successor system. I was totally wrong on that. A couple months ago when they first started talking a bit more, I was like, and after the PS4 Pro launched, I realized where everything stood. And here we are. This is $500 is way too much, but I also don't think that it's going to affect them too much because it is just another Xbox 1. Xbox 1S is going to be just fine to play all of these games. There wasn't any single thing here that made us be like, you know what, we need an Xbox 1x for that, don't necessarily think that's an issue. Agreed.

I think the price point is such a bummer. Like, oh, my God. So with the PS4 Pro is what? At 400 right now? I think that needs to be the price point. Like, you need to show the fans, hey, we're giving you way more power than the pro has at the same price. There's nothing else that's going to bring gamers back with $100 more in price.

It's just such a bummer. Here comes cool, Greg, very careful. Very careful with these. I love them. He's a good employee. Thank you, cool, Greg. I'd blow you a kiss,

but I'd be afraid you'd beat me to death. Also, the Xbox 1S, the $200 price point, that's for a week. Yeah, just for a week. That sucks. Like, if it was 200 permanently,

sure. I was telling Greg this in the pre-show, that gave me hope that the Xbox 1X was going to be like a $400 console to have a $200 and a $400 console, but the fact that it's going to be

probably $250 for a week and then $250 back after that, that's a bummer, man. Yeah, but I mean, man, of games coming. But to your point earlier, Greg, a lot of them are just kind of whatever. The way, you know, we've talked about it before. I know we bring this up all the time. When we had Adam Boys on at E3 or after a PSX where he was like, well, when we were disappointed,

I think in a PSX a couple years ago, he's like, well, you build these shows so that everybody can come in and say, oh, I like these three games, these three announcements. When you come out and say you have 42 announcements and you're launching a new skew, people should leave like, there's no reason. I know exactly why I'm buying that. And here are the seven games I'm super fucking stoked about, right? I don't come away from this conference with the seven games I'm super stoked about. Really? Yeah.

I mean, looking at the list here, there's a bunch of them that I highlighted that I'm very excited about. Now, of course, I mean, this is just different structure for different people. Going down the line, um, Metrox. Player unknown battlegrounds on console. Sure. Very exciting to me. I'm glad that's finally happening. But again, they said the same thing with day Z and H1 Z1.

Yeah. They put the dates on this one. Okay. Well, at least. Well, let's see how dates stick. Yeah. Um, the last night looks freaking incredible. The last night looks great, too.

Again, like that's not, I mean, yeah, that's one of the games I put on my list, right? But it's an Xbox one console launch exclusive, meaning you will come to PlayStation 4 eventually. I don't know about that. Xbox one console exclusive. They are very clear. This is an Xbox one console exclusive. This is an Xbox one console launch exclusive, meaning the launch of this is there. Really?

So I was confused by that because I thought they meant it was launching with the Xbox. No, because like Super Lucky's Tale was the one I noticed at first, where it was, this is an Xbox console exclusive. No launch. Got it. So that's the differentiation they're making. And correct me if I'm wrong, anybody out there. And here, I'm looking, Anna Perrin is over here talking about artful escape, right? I saw an email come in from them.

Yeah, okay, hold on. The little boy with the guitar? Yeah, that's right. Then link me to this thing. Why, you just give me the information, you know? Yeah, 100%. Here, the artful escape. Here, the artful escape.

Release date TBD. TBD. The way I read it, and correct me, I'm wrong, chat, is that there was a difference. between Xbox. Okay, the people are saying I'm right. Cool. Just making sure. I hate when I doubt it. But they were very clear. Xbox one console launch exclusive. Xbox one console exclusive. Yeah. Yeah. Launch means timed exclusive. I mean, so yeah, crackdown. I'm, we just got the PR release in an email from Microsoft. It says crackdown three Xbox one and Windows 10 exclusive. Yeah. Whereas the last night says console launch exclusive. Yeah. But does that,

what about Steam? Well, they don't care about that. And like, well, it was Windows 10, right? Well, that'll be on there or whatever. Windows 10 app store or whatever. Yeah. They're not competing with fucking steam and windows. They're not working. Going through it last night, that looks freaking incredible.

We're seeing that. Andy and Nick have a point, appointment booked, 43. Excited for that. The artful escape. That looks fun. It looks weird.

Whatever. It's a million years out. Cophead, finally have a release date. Later that I'd like it to be, although not as late as it could be. Now that we have something to look forward to. I'm like,

all right, cool. A lot of the idea at Xbox stuff, we saw it too quick. to care and honestly a lot of it looked kind of throw away. Sure. Well, it's your home August 2nd. I'm excited for that. Ory and the Will of the Whips.

Fuck yeah. Get another ORI. Love the first one and I definitely wanted more. Didn't necessarily expect we were going to get it. So that's great for me. But honestly, Anthem at the end, I went from zero fucks to all the fucks. That looked amazing. Sure.

But my question is, is it one of those multiplayer only things or is there single player? Because I don't want to do the multiplayer. I'm sure it'll be a little bit like division where you can do a lot of the missions on your own. Yeah. I mean, just the way that they present. presented the NPCs in that little town talking to you and getting that cutscene.

When that was happening, I was like, oh, I guess this is just a straight up single player campaign. Yeah. And then they met up with the other, you know, players at the end or whatever. Here's what I want to say about Anthem. That demo looked fantastic. I like the idea. I like mecksuits or like Iron Mani suits like that. I want to go through and do that.

And I hate to be this guy because don't get me wrong, mass effect, and drama does not take away from everything buyer has ever done. I'm not trying to say that or anything, right? But Mass Effect and Drama first looks looked fantastic too. And then we get there. Did they? Yeah. Facial animation-wise,

cut scenes. I mean, like, I remember seeing that, like, when they first started showing stuff during the PS4 Pro conference. I was like, whatever.

Didn't interest me at all, even visually. I'm just saying that that looked like fucking a super high-end PC, awesome, great. What is it going to look like on Colson? What is that? Very good point.

The guy who got up and they made a big point of him, like, wincing and talking to you like this and stuff? Is he going to be one of those guys who looked there in the real game like this and look, and I know, you know, there's this awesome article

up from Shire this week, right? Or was it, Kataku? I'm not, Patrick. Jason, it was Jason Shire over Kitaku

put up the thing about here's why Andromata got so off the rails. I understand that. And I'm not, and I'm not trying to say this is like a Kill Zone 2 thing where it won't look like that.

That just looked. A little too good. And there's, of course, no HUD on the screen. There's nothing going on. They say coming 2018, that's a load of bullshit. No offense.

I'm sure they're trying to hit that. It won't be 2018. That game will get pushed way out. What will the final product look like? That's all I want to temper expectations. I don't know. I don't know if it'll get pushed out that far. Because do we know how long they've been working on it?

I feel like they've been working on it as soon as Mass Effect 3 wrapped. And the main team went on to work there. Well, that was the whole thing. Yeah. Casey Hudson brought a team over there. And then Casey Hudson left the team. Yeah. So what did that?

I mean, I'm not saying that's the, people leave all the time different things. But Casey is the visionary or was the visionary. Correct me if I'm wrong. I'm so much stuff over there for Mass Effect. The game looks awesome. Yeah. I want to fucking play it. Don't be wrong.

It's a damn impressive looking game. And I loved the fact that they went from air to land to see underneath that all three looked super awesome. The Metsuit made it look fun to maneuver. I'm just saying temper expectations. That was an amazing demo. We've seen that before. The first Watch Dogs trailer also looked really awesome.

We've seen a lot of, we see a lot of E3 demos that you eventually get in our fun, great games that just don't look or feel like that. Yeah. Hopefully it doesn't scale down a huge amount like, just like Watchdog. Yeah. I remember that. So here's my big question then. Is anybody here going to buy? Xbox 1x? As of now, absolutely

I will. Yeah? Yeah. What about it? Do you have an Xbox 1? Not right now. I sold my Xbox 1 before I moved up here. Okay. I still have a lot of friends from back home who play on Xbox 1 that I will love to play Anthem with them. Sure. So the community is already there for me. So my question next is then are you buying an Xbox 1

X on launch or waiting until Anthem? Waiting until something else comes along? Ah, that's a good question. I don't know. That's what I do here. Don't worry. I might wait. I might wait a little bit, I guess. I've been itching to get an Xbox one back because, and this sounds really stupid and everybody's going to give me a lot of shit for it. Except you, you're cool. Well, they didn't talk about, they didn't talk about Connect a lot.

Yeah. But I fucking love my Connect. Like it is, like, the voice command on Connect like were, we're so second natured me when I'm on my computer working on stuff. And Xbox Pause, I'm sorry if I'm activating anybody's right now. Don't worry about it. You're not. Nobody has one, yeah. I love sitting down and having my Xbox as my media player.

Like when they presented it as a media player three, four years ago, whatever it was, that's what it became to me. That's cool. It became a Netflix box, a Hulu box, and I played a fuckload of Destiny on it. Yeah, I played the shit out of my Xbox. I didn't get a PS4 until a little bit later. Sure. Until Uncharted 4 dropped.

Okay, okay. Yeah, I'm probably going to get one pretty soon. I don't know if I'll get it on launch or not. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Not many reasons, too. I mean, like, looking through this, I honestly, like, going back to this press conference as a whole. I really like how they took the PlayStation approach of games, games, games, just trailer after trailer after trailer. And admittedly, they did something similar last year.

It's just the, it was definitely quantity over quality, I think, when it came to the titles. And looking at it, even things like Crackdown 3, like that didn't blow anyone away. I don't think that just, it was all right, cool, it's real. And it's coming a lot sooner than we expected. Sure. And see if thieves a lot later than we expected. Same thing with State of the K2. Yeah. I thought State of K2 was such a slam dunk for an October, September release, get it out in front of Halloween, get it there and stuff. But I mean, like, I'm a State of Decay fanboy number one, right?

Like I did all those Let's Plays for it when it came up. And me and McCaffrey did Let's Place for State of Decay originally on Xbox. When they did the re-release, I did streams and stuff and hung out and showed it all the I think we gave away a ton of games too. Not that that's influencing my opinion, but as a fan of State of Decay, I was like, oof, that trailer missed the mark, I think. It didn't explain, it didn't drive home why this is a standout. Everybody in the chat who was like, oh, me, me, me,

I'm sick of zombie games. I'm like, I, like, in the, in the, in the four seconds, right, before we had done it where some kid was like, what, I don't know about State of K, what is it? I did a bad job of explaining why it's great, right? Because it is like the encumbrance and marking and, like, really nerdy shit of like, it's not action. That looked like an action game, right? Like, you don't, you don't shoot a lot of weapons in Stadadic.

You can in, like, the DLC, but mainly I was always hitting people with boards trying to conserve ammo because it is that thing. It's multiplayer, right? But that didn't even look like it. They didn't really go into it there. They got a bad, the trailer was too long in the tooth and didn't tell you anything, and then there was no demo to follow it up. And it also didn't look great. Yeah, it looked like state of decay.

Yeah. It looked like state of decay, which is surprising to an extent to me, because I did feel, in my head, I'm thinking Microsoft's got nothing up their sleeves. They got crackdown. They've got Sea of Thieves. They've got state of decay in terms of Xbox one holiday lineup, right? So I thought they would have realized that with like, you know, scale about all that, cranked up the money they were dumping in a state of decay. And state of decay would have come out looking remarkably better than it did before it. Because it looks better as a St.DK fan of playing, you know, two versions of that game.

It looks better, but it doesn't look like. Oh, fuck. I can't believe they did that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, they didn't really give us the exclusive. That was like the jaw dropper. They didn't. They didn't, going into this during the pre-show, I was saying there's a couple things that I am looking for.

I need from this. One of them was surprises and one of them was the Xbox game pass. Neither of those. There at all. Backwards compatibility for Xbox. The biggest surprise me. We got backwards compatibility for the original Xbox, Crimson Skies. That's awesome.

Crimson Sky's. as one of my favorite original Xbox games. But it's not enough for what I think the Xbox had to bring at this conference. I put up on Twitter.com slash game over Gregory. Based on what you've seen today, are you planning on buying an Xbox 1X? Right now, 39% yes, 61% no. That's what about 1,700 votes in. I think, you know, it seems, and then you're looking through the people who follow

me like Megan Sullivan from IGN. No, Seth Macy. He's saying, I can't do it not for 500. Dan Visenmeyer draws Lego game stuff. Not until next year. Greg Atlas, the voice is maybe, Switch is first on my list,

but I like to upgrade to an Xbox 1X at some point. I feel like that's the thing where it's similar to the PlayStation argument for some. I've got the 4K TV, but if Xbox 1 was your primary console and you just wanted the incremental upgrade

and you wanted things look and run better, I guess I could wrap your head around, but it's still so much. Same argument as the PS4 Pro where it's just like, yeah, it makes sense for the people. There's a $100 gap, right? Yeah, I mean, but when you're investing

that much into things looking better, $100 is nothing. I just think that they didn't do a good job of telling the people that aren't the type of guys that want to invest in all that that it's worth it because it's not that I think that's also a message It's not worth it to you if you're not gonna give a fuck about the flops. Yeah exactly and they didn't even try to make other people care Yeah, yeah I feel the numbers are impressive though I got in addition to the tarflops the tarflops and all that But 42 games shown that's a lot sure but 22 exclusives that's a big number when their exclusives no one cares about though that's a problem And there's a couple that were great, but then, yeah, seeing things like super Lucky's Tale. It's like...

That didn't even look like... It looked bad, and it did not look like a this gen game. When they ran through all the, like the whatever, like 10 or so, and maybe more than that, indie at Xbox games, I would have much rather seen them take Super Lucky's Tale shoving into something like that and let one of these other games pop out. Like, you know what I mean? Like, Surviving Mars sounds interesting. I would rather have seen more...

That's me being selfish. There are tons of games in that teaser that looked really cool. Yeah, Observer, if it's the game I think it is, is really good. Let me look at my email and try to figure out if that is the one. Because there's a good horror game coming up. I know. The shoutcaster for Darwin project. Yeah.

It was. Observer for is legit a really cool psychological elite horror game that's going to be rat. Like prey-ish. Yeah. Well, you're jacking into people's like memories or whatever if I remember the demo correctly. And then also it gave me outlast vibes. That did look cool.

Yeah. A lot of people in the chat are saying that Super Lucky's tale is $60. Oh God. So that's interesting. Yeah, that's true. Ouch. Super Lucky Tale was an Oculus game, but now they're turning it into a non. I think once, I think if they see the reaction to people, they're going to drop that shit.

Yeah, I think it'll be like a $30 game, hopefully. Man, I got to say, give it up to Minecraft for making Minecraft relevant on stage. Like, this was a pretty sizable update. And like, you knew they were going to be there. You knew they were going to say something. But this is, this was a real thing. It wasn't just, oh, it's upres. Like, they actually tried to make it super duper.

You know? We got a new Porsche on stage. Those just, I don't know, starting off that presentation with Forza, which I understand that Forza is like one of the few games affected by Xbox 1X. Sure. I just like, man, this is like the E3 shit that I just can't stand. Sure. Well, yeah, it was weird.

I thought, yeah, that's just like such an old move, I feel like. Yeah, it really felt like, let's give you a gimmick to, you know, the type of stuff that doesn't have to do, the type of stuff that you know that Sony won't do anymore. Yeah, exactly. Because they figured out the formula. Back to the point.

I'm just like, what I talked about in the pre-show, right, for a year, they've been hyping up Scorpio now Xbox 1X, right, talking about how amazing it is. And then you get here, the two games that are confirmed for day and date launch titles,

Super Lucky's Tale and Crackdown 3. Yeah. At this conference, those are the two games that are coming out on the 7th of November as well. Granted Assassin's Creed before then, third parties are there. But it's like,

like what is getting, other than you just want to upgrade? and that's fine. Don't get me wrong. Now that I've been using our pro, I'm so like, I wish one of my PS4s would die and I'd buy the pro.

But I'm also like, I wish. Most like I have another use for $400 at the moment. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, man, it's interesting. I know that Halo said

they weren't going to be here. They did say there was going to be something. So I don't know if there's the Halo Wars 2 having an update counts as something. But it's disappointing, frankly, not having any surprises, any old revival of IP.

This was a conference where you expected those things. that you expected them to be surprises, but you expected them to be there. Yeah. And instead, we knew everything at this conference. What I'm wondering is it, in those 22 exclusives they announced,

were they including the launch exclusives? Oh, probably, yeah. Yeah. Probably, yeah, that sucks. But I mean, that's where we are. Everybody's got to sit here and split hairs now. I need them look at their dick. I needed like an Excel spreadsheet.

Like, Phil Spencer, just get on it. We're railing on a lot. And games-wise, what are the games, What other games stood out? Dragon Ball Fighters looks freaking dope. Okay. They look like they're nailing that. I think Black Desert Online might be a hit with the fans that, you know, on Sony,

everybody has Final Fantasy 14 online. Oh, everybody's got it. Yeah, well, you know, that's like the MMO people go to. I think Black Desert Online. Well, DC or is online too, don't forget. Sure. I think Black Desert Online will, you know, well, that's also then, like, trying to appeal to the Japan crowd.

Yeah. I don't know. I mean, there was a lot of, uh, Japan crowd stuff there, which I thought was interesting. Then there was Assassin's Creed. What was the takeaway on that? Because you were saying that you didn't think it looked too great. And I think especially seeing Anthem at the end, that really drove that.

Yeah. No, my thing with, well, that was like one of, that was our first big AAA game that you're going to, well, like that forza is there. But you're talking about Xbox one. Hey, we're getting excited for this X. What's it all about, right? And like, they're showing Assassin's Creed. And I thought in the moment, walking around doing stuff, the bird, okay.

But then it was, you look around, it's still the same animations of Assassin's Creed. It's still, when they walked up to the guy riding, his eyes were still all. weird and stuff. And that's where it gets upsetting with the fact of like, you took time off. You knew people were sick of Assassin's Creed. That's the kind of stuff I'd like to see fix or address where we come back and everybody's like, holy shit, this looks amazing. That's a solid point because they could have shown this last year when we wouldn't have been surprised. And I feel like it's the same problem that we're going to talk about a lot with PS4 Pro and Xbox 1x is the fact that this is made to run in the other console. So it's just uprest.

And that's fine. I love to, you know, Assassin's Creed black flag on the PlayStation 4, but that wasn't like a true PlayStation 4 Assassin's Creed. It looked fine. Anyways, that alone of me saying like, oh, the animations don't look that great, blah, blah. Or like, and it's not something they don't look great. They don't look like, holy shit, do I need to go buy this fucking thing? Yeah. The game looks fun.

I'm back for, I want to play Assassin's Creed. I like Assassin's Creed. That looked like a good one. The only game that gave me that vibe was Anthem. Oh, sure. Yeah, Anthem is totally like, holy fuck. Exactly. And that's what happens, I think, when you take a team that's made the Mass Effect thing, let them go off, make the next project, and you leave them alone for a while.

And then they come out, right? Like, that's how we all felt, I think when destiny got shown the first time, like, oh, man, these people that are, it's quiet. Bungie's been quiet. What do they have? They have this. Okay. They've been working on something. Metro Exodus.

Yeah. That looked really good. Look dope. Look really cool. I wonder how much of the game is going to stand up and be that good. That definitely looked like a vertical slice. Yeah, 100%. And that's, you know, somebody in the chat was saying like, oh, it's so canned.

It's like, oh, obviously. Yeah, they're trying to drive you to one point and do one thing with it. I mean, for me, though, you know, an announcement of the show is Life is Strange before the storm. Like, I love Life is Strange to have it coming, you know, three episodes, August 31st,

the first one drops. Shinobi over on Twitter, called this out, I want to put it here too. This is, you know, leading into this, I was, remember, I was like, well, this is interesting

that they added it to PlayStation Plus. That original Life is Strange. Then Don't Nod was like, or actually, it's out of order. We have three million players. We're not going to be 83. We're not,

we are working on Life is Strange too. This is not like, Life is Strange 2. This is being worked on apparently by deck nine. It's a prequel. So this isn't, don't, don't not. Don't not didn't lie to us. They are still working a life is too somewhere in the background. Okay. This is just a three episode. This is like the Tokyo drift of the franchise. Yeah. Sure. Got it. Okay. Okay. Well, it'll be as good as Tokyo drift though. Well, he's going to end with me dying my hair blue and all about that. Whoa. I like that. Um, I saw what else was there. So Ccoma. Get into release date.

Yeah. August 2nd. Can't wait for that. Yeah. Big old Steve. Eaves early 2018. So weird man so weird right like I mean they have crackdown okay they got crackdown and they got super lucky's tail that's what these are what the exclusives like the big in 2017 yeah oh man oh man oh man that's rough um oh yeah yeah i don't yeah so or he didn't have a date yeah yeah yeah that sucks i will play the fuck out of crackdown three though I hope I will my thing about is I like crackdown one a lot played it a lot when I got to IG and a stuff and people were fucking around with it. Maybe played after the fact.

It doesn't matter. Cracktime 2 didn't work. And then watching that, I'm like, oh, all right. It was like, I don't, I have a feeling that's a game I'm going to say I'm going to play. And then by the time it gets here, something's going to have, it's hooks in me of like, holy shit, this is everything, not just orb collecting or jumping around. I mean, this lineup has me as excited as the Xbox One lineup has for the last couple years, which is there's a couple of games and most of them are smaller artsy games that have me stoked. And I can't wait to boot them up when eventually they're. come, but yeah.

I'm really interested to see what something like the last night has is it's a launch exclusive, right? Do indies who are making something like that have the same kind of pull as the people who made Limbo?

Oh God. What's their fucking name? Limbo developers. Dead. Play dead. Play dead. Thank you. Who, you know, originally Limbo had this huge window of exclusivity on Xbox. And then with the second game, it was literally like two months. Yeah, two weeks or something. It was like the game came out and the two weeks later.

Like, oh, it's come PlayStation for a month. Like, is that the same kind of thing that will happen with a last night? Well, that's thing is, is there any more information on this on the last night? Any press release? Yeah, I have stuff. Well, I mean, this is on Xbox's thing. So it's going to be, hold on a monitor. They're not going to mention PlayStation.

Yeah. Well, this is my private email about getting it in there for, you know, our demo or whatever. Because you guys are seeing it. You're going to do it. I feel. I feel like them having it spotlighted in its own little trailer is a good sign that it wasn't put into that sizzle reel of all the tiny ID at Xbox games. So that's, you know, that's promising. Code Vane looked pretty dope.

Yeah, I did. Dark Souls game. Sure did. A Dark Souls that doesn't make you feel super depressed and gross and brown and dark colors. I'm looking at the... The Darwin Project looks like a shitty cache-in. third person overwatch. Exactly, right?

I was like, well, it's like that mixed, well, it was weird to have it after like player unknown, right? Where it was,

yeah, it was like, oh, so there's last man standing death match. Yeah, two players remaining. I was like, oh no, you just showed this.

Yeah, exactly. Looks like last night only has its teaser. Screenshots. Yeah. If you want to see. Now last night only lists it as

Xbox one PC and Mac. Oh yeah. But that, I mean, that is, it says launch exclusive. So I'm sure somewhere in the documentation,

you can't do that. either. Wow, the last night was originally a small flash game made in six days, which won the cyberpunk jam. Wow. You can play the original. Cyberpunk jam. I want to be a part of that.

You can play the original draft for free here. Sounds like a crazy party. I mean, all right. Is there anything else we need to mention during this? I think overall it was a okay conference. There's been much worse. There's been much better. I don't think it's as strong as Microsoft's was last year.

I think that this definitely sets the tone of where the Xbox 1x is. I think that's a very. very smart title for the system iterative given what it is. Yeah. I think people are going to understand it. There's an old Android phone by the company called

HTC. And they had the HTC 1S and the HTC1X. The same fucking naming scheme. Microsoft, you're going to have a little explaining to do. We're on to you. You're on to you. You're explaining to do. VBot 08 says, was there no mention of a 4K

patch for Halo 5? No, there wasn't. HAL-5 was not on that list. So that's interesting. Big Cabin Dog. I'm sending over to kind of funny control on image. I'd like you to pull up behind us a tweet over here. This is from the chat. Give me two seconds.

No, you're fine. I'm just letting everybody know. Oh, a little sneak peek. Jeff from CNET letting us see behind the scenes of what the Xbox 1X looks like in its rear, what its ass looks like. There is. Hold on. Kevin's on it.

Don't worry. And nobody panic. Nobody panic. Stop panicking. I'm panic. Don't panic. It's gonna be okay. I'm leaving you, Kevin.

Glenn EF says, was it better than EAs conference? I would say no because they, Microsoft did such potential for this to be a fucking kick ass conference. Yeah. And it wasn't. I think it was better than EA's conference. But again,

I think it's EA has to, people's a mass audience, yeah, blah, blah, Microsoft can come on and talk about games. And sure, Forza doesn't work for me,

but I understand what's happening, right? Yeah. But I don't think it was by any means, a slam dunk, a home run. I don't think this is like, yeah,

I think, Sony's got to be, I would love to know what they think of all this. I think I put them both pretty equal in terms of press conferences where we expected everything shown. There was at least a couple of surprises, like a way out at EA looked awesome. A couple of things here looked really great. I think it was a funner conference. It moved faster for the most part didn't linger too long. Well, that's the thing.

It's like, all right, cool. I did enjoy this conference much more than EA's. Yeah. But I think as a press conference, they're about equal in what they accomplished. Okay. I just think with all of Sony's exclusives and then the fact that they can say, oh, by the way, here's this cool fucking Spider-Man game. Like, the Xbox doesn't have anything.

Every time they were like world premiere, I was like, oh, I hope this is going to be some crazy superhero announcement. Something. I mean, but that's what I mean, like, there was, like, no rock's anything. I yelled, though life is strange. But yeah, exactly. There was no whole, I mean, well, again,

even if they had a telegraphed anthem and said that was coming. You know what I mean? But, like, yeah. Anthem was great. The gameplay ones look cool, but it's like, when the fuck am I going to play that game? Do you want to see that image? Sure, show us that image real quick,

just so the kids at home and see it. the ass here the ass end of the Xbox 1x just interesting a lot of events lot of HTMLs back there stuff going on optical out HGMIi in and no Tomb Raider they still have to keep that right so you can do the TV shit

it's so interesting yeah no tune writer yeah and it's interesting but life is strange before the storm August 31st everybody that's a cool little surprise for you I'm happy for you great yeah

I don't have it's a huge surprise but I mean it was a prequel though you weren't you know I mean weren't those the rules Yeah. LifeStrange already booked for a live show. I'm just going to say anything about that.

Oh, okay. I didn't expect it to be here. It's one of those announcements you catalog and forget about. You know what I mean? Like, oh, yeah, something's coming, whatever. Man. Very interesting where this puts us. Bray, CC in the Twitch chat says it best.

There was no get hype moment sponsored by Gatorade. There wasn't. There wasn't. We're running out of days. We're running out of conferences to have these at. Bethesda tonight. We'll be back if you're watching on Twitch for that one. Yeah, People within, too.

All but confirmed already today. Yeah. So is Wolfenstein, right? They put up the Wolfensine 2, Colossus thing. I'm a jig, whatever on Amazon D. All right.
