Microsoft had such an amazing conference!! Wow they really go all out this year.
The news of the new studios they’ve added is fantastic news. Will be seeing much much more exclusives for Xbox in the future. I’m so happy they went on such a big spending spree, buying 5 new studios.
Forza Horizon 4 looks impossibly epic!! Like that graphics was unreal! Also the news that there will be a 60fps mode for FH4, wow!!! The setting is awesome, and there is rumours that the are adding stuff like buying houses to the game as well. Very similar to TDU. Plus it’s coming to Game Pass!?!?!
Seriously, Game Pass is becoming a must-have service with an Xbox. It is great to see them investing in the service.
Halo Infinity was a great way to start the show with, and that Gears 5 trailer blew my mind. It looked great. Also ending with Cyberpunk was just a cherry on an already incredible cake.
I also must say, it was the first time I watched the stream via Mixer. Was really a great experience. Luckily with fibre I could stream the whole conference in 4K, and it made everything look so much better than it probably actually is.
Well done MS, was a great show, 9/10

Right, then onto Bethesda. At first it seemed a bit cringy with the presenters not looking too comfortable on the stage, but what they showed was really great. Rage 2 looks bloody great! I don’t know if it will actually look like that when it comes out, but wow was very impressive.
That Skyrim gag was really funny. Way to go and end the meme Todd Howard. Steering into the skid done right.
The new Doom is also going to be great I think. And Wolfenstein looks interesting. I didn’t really get any excitement from Quake Champions or The Elder Scrolls Online, but that’s just me.
And then they showed so much about Fallout 76. The game looks really ambitious. It will be interesting to see how people act amongst each other in the wasteland. I guess we’ll now really get to see how people would react in such scenario.
And then Starfield and The Elder Scrolls 6 announcements. While they didn’t show anything about those games, it’s still exciting to see.
Overall a great conference as well. 8/10

That is the best thing out of the PC show IMO. I have been a Yakuza fan since I first played the demo for Yakuza 3 when I bought my original PS3. I have since played all the games available in the west and am still holding out for local versions of Ishin and Kenzan. You guys that have never played Yakuza are in for a massive treat, one of the best series in gaming. I’m actually busy with NG+ on Y0 on PS4 now, but I’ll gladly start from scratch on PC when it drops.
