I did like the style of this event. It's not a criticism of what they showed, but I wouldn't be excited by the prospect of paying £70 for any of these titles. I bounce off Arkane titles and racers are something I dip into occasionally. Legends and Hi-Fi Rush look like they might be fun. Not a £70 * gamble on a fun time though.
Hurray for Gamepass etc. Add excitement back into events like this when you don't have to do anything to play the games shown
*well, £27 in the case of Hifi Rush

fun game yes, at least the time I've been playing, it also supports XeSS and could keep a great framerate playing it. It also supports TSR from Unreal
That's a nice feat considering that is by revenue and the game is only $30.
Hi-Fi RUSH on Steam
Test your abilities in two new game modes, uncover new rewards and even a few secrets in the Arcade Challenge! Update! Feel the beat as wannabe rockstar Chai and his ragtag team fight against an evil megacorp in a world that syncs to the music.
Sure that MS is not dipping into the 70B they plan to spend on ABK to propup the sales? I mean who knows when/if that will go throughThat's a nice feat considering that is by revenue and the game is only $30.

Or maybe Sony is buying those games, to show that MS is a big competitor 
Pretty good for a shadow drop. It had little twitch coverage because honestly, people don’t watch Xbox all that much. May pick up viewership over the course of the week

I thought it was a very good show. I was interested to varying degrees in every title shown. Hi-Fi Rush looks fantastic. Forza looks incredible.
Yeah they didnt announce much in terms of what has been announced before. It is more like an update on the announcements already made.
Just came across this. It is not 100% confirmed.

New Leak Hints Redfall And Starfield Are In Rough State

I wouldn't trust a single thing they say because it is verifiable false info they claim about Azure losing money. Check the financial reports.Just came across this. It is not 100% confirmed.

Stockholders would not accept losses on Azure. The CEO would be fired on the spot if it was not profitable.

ESO released a big expansion every year around June apparently. For those that play it, and there plenty of people who do, I guess the start of the year announcement is a big deal.
As for the rest, I'd disagree strongly with you meh view, especially given how much fun HiFi Rush has turned out to be.
HiFi Rush could definitely be a good game, but it’s not very exciting. I want to see titles that push the hardware/offer a level of production and polish only afforded by 1st party titles. Outside of Forza everything still looks like an Xbox One game in higher resolution.

Ah, i see. Not sure what you expected from this event, since Hifi aside we've seen these games before.
Idtech, NT and The Coalition will deliver something 'first party worthy' eventually.
Tbh, I'd be happier with more HiFi Rush stuff than AAAA+. It's bags of fun and well worth anyone's time.
