Xbox Games Showcase

Its already become a meme how bad Halo Infinite looks, lol.

Also saw this on Era. The image is low quality and the one on the right is clearly blurred... but yikes. Halo Infinite wouldn't even be at the high end of this gen's games never mind being the graphical showcase for next gen.

So Playstation is trending worldwide on twitter and its pretty much what you'd expect. I can't believe xbox had another big misfire in their next gen showcase. They've been doing so well outside of the big shows.

Someone made a whole video.

But yeah that character looks bizarrely bad. Personally there are some PS3 characters that look better.

Massive sample size, possibly fanboy driven. Very different reactions.

We're excited about the announcement that SoD3 is in early pre-production, and we're looking forward to having more to share in the future. In the meantime, if you're new to the franchise and want to see what it's all about, SoD2 is on sale across all platforms until July 29th!

Yeah they did the classic xbox mistake of announcing games extremely early. Lets hope none of them get cancelled this time.

Avowed seems safe.

Fable is such a troubled franchise. That game will not be safe until it is fully launched.

State of Decay 3 seems risky. The studio can def make it but will Microsoft change directions and want something new if series x has a rocky launch?

I just hope they go back to classic fable. 1 was soo good and every release just got worse and worse.

this game should be an action RPG akin to Zelda. some of the "sim" elements are neat but no one is buying the game for it. don't make it the focus of the game/marketing.

This show was such a wet fart. Its only a day later and people have mostly moved on, we're just mostly talking about how far away the CGI games are and how meh Halo was. It doesn't feel like we had one of the biggest gaming shows of the year yesterday. Anywhere I'm looking: here, Era, reddit, twitter etc. its the same.
