How Xbox Won E3 2018 -- CLS Side Quest

E3 2018 is behind us, and now, we finally have the time and space to reflect. From my perspective, it seems Microsoft and the Xbox brand walked out of the show the big winner. Here are some closing thoughts on E3 2018 before we move into the summer, and a busy fall and winter thereafter.

Is it just me of do most of the release dates seem to be packed in before march 2019? Do you think Sony and Microsoft will both launch next gen hardware in same year?

Great episode. I think Xbox killed it, the only thing more I could have asked for is a tease for Fable IV (even if it is years out idc). But for all I know that might not actually be a thing that exists lol TLOU gameplay looks incredible, I like the new dodging mechanic! Keep it up Colin!

Teasing Fable IV would have been a huge mistake. That's how they got here! =) Thank you for watching. <3

Brett Medlock

Ah crap, I wanted to ask what you thought of RE2 Remake and Control!

Matt Matlock

I feel bad I asked for this, but appreciate that you made it!! lol

To me sony won again just because of all the actual gameplay they showed.

James Galos

Watching this made me realize how many games are coming in 2019 that I want to play. We are going to need to find a way to add hours in a day or mandatory 3 day weekends for gamers to keep up with releases haha.

I really like Phil Spencer and the passion he has for gaming, the XBox brand, and especially his willingness to congratulate devs outside the XBox ecosystem for their achievements. That said, I have lost all faith that XBox can deliver this generation. I've been consistently waiting for the thing that would make me "need" to get an XBox One and it never came (I was convinced it would be Scalebound and Crackdown 3). At this point in the cycle, I may just wait for the next gen XBox and hope they keep backwards compatibility so I can catch up on any missed gems from this gen.

You deserve a break Colin; Enjoy your time away.

I'm honestly not even sure it'd be wise to try and deliver anything extraordinary this generation beyond their tentpoles. At some point, you have to cut your losses.

MS brought the heat. I would have crowned them just for showing Cyberpunk 2077 and i got to say that game alone made E3 great to me. Enjoy the well deserved vacation!

I love this take and it is pretty much what i was saying the whole time. This is the first time I've posted on the patreon and it is because after seeing all of KF's garbage coverage I felt compelled to give you mad props. This is why I love Collin's takes on gaming. I know he loves Sony but he's not so blinded by it that he blows the whistle on the hype train when Sony takes a shit on his doorstep. He instead looks at it and proclaims, " Hey Sony you know I love your gifts but this is just shit in a bag with a Last of Us label on it."

Xbox throwin a heater, and Sony is over there throwin a knuckleball

You should interact more often. It's fun! (This post isn't an endorsement of your feelings on KF, in case anyone decides to start a 1,000 post Reddit thread.)

Can't tell you how refreshing it is having a nerd/gamer personality also be a sports nerd.

Will you just go already!! Jeez we’ll be fine! Lol

A few points addressing the 3 major hardware developers: Microsoft: I agree that had the best press conference even as a big Nintendo and Sony fan. They answered everyone's questions with games and studios, but I have to wonder if that is enough. You mentioned that the first party game lineup is nothing new and these games will only appeal to existing fans of the franchises. I also worry that Microsoft will continue to appeal only to the United State, because Japan and to a lesser extent the rest of the world only care about Sony and Nintendo Nintendo: I was not disappointed by their presentation, but I'm a huge Smash and Fire Emblem fan. I understand people were disappointed by the lack of Metroid and Animal Crossing, but Nintendo stated that Metroid was shown way before it was ready to help sell the Metroid 2 remake on 3DS. I think Let's Go Pikachu and Eevee will sell a lot better then you think, but I can't deny the lineup is weak for the rest of this year. Sony: I had the same scary thought that this is the same arrogant Sony we have seen in the pass. The presentation was a mess, but you can't deny how great the four major featured games look. I look forward to seeing the directions these companies go and can't wait to hear your opinion on everything as usual. Have a great vacation and we will be here ready and waiting to here from the one the only Colin Moriarty!!!

Per Microsoft, I don't know if it'll be enough. All I can say is that at least they aren't dead. Thank you for your feedback (and kind words)!

I’m PlayStation until I die, and a proud Switch owner. The Xbox One is the only current console I don’t own. I’m a Sony/Nintendo fan, but I’m not a fanBOY. I recognize when my guys falter, and this year, Microsoft definitely took the win. Excellent video, Colin. I agree on most fronts.
