After having to prove itself for years, Xbox doubled down and pulled it off..
Yep Xbox absolutely knocked it out of the park with that stunning show, it was everything a gaming showcase should be, games games and games, well done team Xbox.
It really did. Like I came out of that with the hype for new games I haven’t felt since… well the better years of E3.
It was without a doubt one of the better showcases in years. There was plenty there that excited me. Something has been lacking in years on all platforms
While the Sony State of Play had a critical lack of first-party titles and new stuff, Xbox came in hard and delivered one hell of an event.
It was a great show, but still a multiplateform show. xbox needed to give a sign of life, and they did. Sony on the other hand showed some console exclusives..
State of play was light yes that’s clear, but Sony is still planning to deliver console exclusives.
The following games from the showcase are multi-plat and also coming to PlayStation and there may be more so perhaps what Sony learned was to let MS spend the money on advertising games for them.
Assassin’s Creed Shadows
Atomfall
Call of Duty: Black Ops 6
Clair Obscur: Expeditions 33
DOOM: The Dark Ages
Dragon Age: The Veilguard
Fallout 76: Skyline Valley
Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn
Life Is Strange: Double Exposure
MechaBreak
Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater
Mixtape
Sea of Thieves: Season 13
WUCHANG: Fallen Feathers

they are advertising GamePass which the none subscribers have to pay 70$ for it.
Buyers on PS help make Gamepass games even more profit by paying retail price, while Xbox gamers get all on day one using subscription. Huge difference.
@Hello_World
You just made it sound like real life. Playstation = Hard working people who have to pay taxes.
Xbox = Jobless bums who claim universal credit benifits rely on the working class people to pay taxes so they can get free money.
Sony been doing it before MS has for years, so they dont need to learn. If the time isnt right then the time isnt right.
I hope they learn aswell BUT looking at both sides at least Sony isn’t announcing games to show off again, and again, and again over a couple of years
While a good show there was a lot at Microsoft’s conference that were announced and shown off years ago. If Sony sticks to only showing off games when they are going to be released the same year then I kind of understand it but if they don’t then I’d be flabbergasted by it
Let Sony do its thing when they drop the ball for gen and a half of duds shows then they’ll be even with Xbox and we should worry till then they earn it.
All that been said congratulations to Microsoft for finally doing the minimum of having good looking games coming soon took 100 billion to do it but hey gotta spend money to make money or so someone broke once said.
It was as much of a PlayStation Showcase as it was an Xbox Showcase. Most of the games they showed have been confirmed to be coming to PlayStation. Furthermore, even the ones they did not announce coming to Playstation yet are rumored to be coming to PlayStation in the near future. Sony will announce their first party games when the time is right. No point in announcing them 5 years in advance as MS did in 2020.
It's embarrassing how "professional videogaming journalism" has fallen off.
Article written by a 13 years old full of acne.
Gotta start somewhere. Especially with computers and AI taking jobs from fast food joints and supermarkets which traditionally hire teens.
I think people need to be aware that purpose of State of Play is updates on small scale and 3rd party games, their big scale showings are PlayStation Showcase.
Approved this silly submission of an "opinion article" with the last 2 votes it needed to have a laugh at the upcoming comments.
Seriously, console war shit like this one should be banned from n4g.
I've noticed that console wait flame bait is the only thing getting approved lately with other articles taking a few days to show up after not getting approved
Aye. Usually I just use the "how submissions with most approvals" choice ..look what they are and approve. Wish we would have way more reviews here instead of opinion articles. So many of them are just bait.
One one side a company that has brought real innovation in videos games with the first truly 3d graphics for mass entertainment, handheld devices, VR, great francises ... on the other side the Netflix of video games, and so .... who wants to be who? Let's stay focus and play some games kids.
Three Love Live mobile games have died in the past year despite the series’ ever-growing popularity both in Japan and worldwide, but why?
Absolute shame on Embracer if they bring back a dead studio just to kill it off again before they have enough time to make their first new game.
Wow wtf... you get all of the TimeSplitters fans, including me, excited by bringing back Free Radical, and now you kill everyone's hopes and dreams just like that. I'm so disappointed.
This is terrible, if true... Why can't we live in a timeline where we have Timesplitters again? I'm not entirely sure if this is affecting the one being worked on outside of Free Radical. I just miss this series so much, I want something... Anything...
All of those comments about Embracer being a better fit for Acti-Blizz, as opposed to MS, have aged gracefully..
I know this is a bit out there but Sony should buy them. They aquired a lot of studios that made a lot of good games, I personally was hoping for a Legacy of Kain sequel or a reboot but I doubt that happens now.
