From Xbox, IMO if you went into this show expecting to see Avowed, Fable, Perfect Dark, or Elder Scrolls, then you purposefully went in looking to be "disappointed" and pretend-outraged. They have fully laid out their roadmap for the next 3 years and they still have many developers unaccounted for.
That said, Forza Horizon 5 looks awesome, so I am not worried about Fable. Back4Blood in Gamepass is awesome as many of the dozens of other day one games announced for GamePass. There are currently 7 games on the coming soon page, 5 of which coming in the next 5 months, that I intend to play.
Just to put in perspective, each month for the next 5 months GamePass is getting Flight Simulator, PsychoNauts 2, Hades, The Ascent, Back4Blood and Forza Horizon 5. Those games are $295 seperately. Gamepass has more than justified its price for the whole year.
Im currently 13 hours into Yakuza Like a Dragon from GamePass. I almost bought that game a week ago, but I said "let me wait until E3". If you're a Playstation only gamer or are still skeptical of GamePass at this late stage in the game, or are otherwise just allergic to the Xbox ecosystem, your resolve is going to be tested this gen. You will be taxed for your fanboyism.
The biggest dissapointment for me, was Arcane Studios. The fact that Arkane Austin and Arcane Lyon, both studios from the only active Immersive Sim developer right now, are not making Immersive Sims.
When I heard that "project omen" was being developed by the prey team, I was expecting Prey/Dishonored with vampires. Nope. A Co-op live service zombie vampire shooter. That was the biggest letdown.
