Few exclusives, but lots of games
The first big, big, big E3 2017 press conference has come and gone. I’m choosing not to count EA because I’ve already forgottenwhat was there. Something about aMaddenstory mode andBattlefront IIlooking like howBattlefrontshould’ve in the first place. Meanwhile, Microsoft has finally stopped cockteasing the Scorpio — or, Xbox One X — price and admitted its the $500 we expected. Yikes. Yikes.
On the other hand this is probably thebestMicrosoft E3 conference in my six plus years at Destructoid! They pulled a Sony and just wentgames games gamesbleeding into one another. No one tried to sell me a subscription media service. There wasn’t even any focus on sports games (not counting their exclusive,Forza Motorsport). Wow!
On the third hand, a lot of the games were known (EA understandably teasedAnthemthe day before) or not exclusive. Plus with Microsoft’s few, full exclusives all are playable on Windows, which kind of undercuts their exclusivity if you have a PC (and could undercut the point of an Xbox One X). But hell yeah, newMetro! And aCupheadrelease date, holy shit! Not a bad showing.
