Lot of good stuff.
I had a thought when Spyro was announced, this will be one of Activisions only non CoD games in years but it's still an old IP. I cannot remember the last new IP they released.
Great showcase! Basically everything they showed looked good or great.
That was better than State of Play imo. Great show.
Show was okay but Xbox has a UE5 problem where the pallet of their games looks too ubiquitous. It's like all their games run on UE5 and it shows.
Lots of good stuff for just about everyone. I'm really digging that 25th anniversary SX.
Persona 4 and 6 for me. That's the high point of the show.
Geoff Keighley won E3 2026, that showcase was amazing, I was interested in almost every game for the first 30 minutes. Good job, and shocking. So much good stuff in there!
Good news? Maybe Senua will be good. Minecraft Dungeons 2 could be good too. Both more sequels.
Playstation games were bad but not interested in talking about it. Long time Xbox fan here. So glad I stopped caring. The Xbox show was so boring I turned it off disgusted. Gears looked bad and shouldn't have been made exclusive to a dead console. Fable worse. Microsoft doesn't know what they are doing (another Xbox announced, a 25th anniversary one without a price, shove it Microsoft),
Exodus is looking a little better, I am back to being a little bit hopeful, the only thing the 2nd day that I liked outside of Geoff's show.
Go Nintendo next! I'm back on the Nintendo hype train. Glad I didn't sell my Switch 2 now (I tried to, but changed my mind, might as well wait, consoles go up in price lol). Nintendo is winning because the competition is so weak.
