gaming Xbox E3 2016: Your thoughts?

[Kyoshi Frost Wolf 41,688]

There is an E3 thread, but this will be for the general discussion of the Xbox conference specifically for Xbox fans like me.

 

So it is a wrap folks. The 2016 Xbox stage conference has been brought to a close, though if I recall there can be more announcements in the next few days. With that though, what do you think about Microsoft's conference itself? What do you hope to see from Xbox at E3 overall?

 

To me, it was a pretty good showing. While absolutely nothing is Xbox One exclusive anymore it seems, I can accept it for the fact that Xbox seems to be trying to unify gamers, at least on Xbox One and PC. This is a great idea and with Play Anywhere, that seems to be going very well. Project Scorpio was an interesting announcement, though I was worried that this could be the abandonment of the One as we know it, but it seems it will not be the case either. They also showed off tooooooooooons of games here, which is another huge positive. What I was disappointed with mostly was the lack of Backwards Compatibility discussion. They announced no new backwards compatible titles at all, despite it now being one year since we got the feature on the One. Maybe in the next few days they will do something with that. Also, the Xbox One S seems like an awesome deal too.

I would love to play Sea of Thieves but I don't own an Xbox. Perhaps I'll look into getting the Xbox One S system so I can play it. I'm also interested in the game We Happy Few.

It was pretty good aside from there being no BC updates, which disappointed me. A lot of the games they showed off were great as was the Xbox Play Anywhere thing
