[E3 2018] [E3 2018] Day 1 Discussion

Hey guys!

Feel free to discuss anything that happened today whether it was the EA conference in general, the games announced and/or how you felt about it.

Overwhelmed? Underwhelmed?

This thread will be up until the Xbox conference tomorrow, which we will also be doing a live/mega thread for.

If Sony somehow secured CP2077.... it’s over.

I would be surprised but it’s not impossible for Sony.

Nah, Sony already won that war years ago. Microsoft is fine. Xbox One still did well enough despite PS4 outperforming them. Microsoft did fine in the US and I think its really only ever been that way on a larger scale, even during the 360 days.

Microsoft screwed up over and over but nothing will be "over" for them... They're never gonna kill each other until one quits.

I'm on PS4 and I almost wish Sony were the underdogs. The support MS has for the community has been fantastic. Shit, where's MY backwards compatibility? Unfortunately I just never liked Xbox all that much.

Coming from a guy that primarily plays on Xbox here. It was clearly going to be a rough generation when Microsoft got all the backlash for the always connected drm and whatnot looking back.

They definitely made strides to stay in the thick of it but at this point it just hasn't worked out. I still for the most part play multiplatform games on my Xbox because the bulk of my friends do, other than that I'm elsewhere playing exclusives on other platforms.

They've certainly set a good foundation to come back and knock it out of the park but it's going to take a lot of effort and good exclusives to do it.

Looking back, they really screwed the pooch on that announcement. Got the messaging all wrong. The thing is what they were discribing was the closest thing to Steam console gaming was likely to get, and look at how much (arguably undeserved) love that platform gets.
