Microsoft brought out a new Porsche for their E3 press briefing. The 2018 911 GT2 RS was silver and looked like it could go really fast. It was a “monster” according to the breathless presenters. The car was at the briefing to introduce Forza Motorsport 7<\/a>, but it was obviously also a metaphor for the new Xbox One X<\/a> console, formerly known as Project Scorpio. Scads of horsepower in a teeny package. And expensive. The Xbox One X will launch on November 7th for $499. I’m sure there will be holiday bundles for even more money.<\/p>\n

Microsoft showed off 42 games in total. Some of them only got a couple of seconds of video during a buzz reel for the indie games program, but the company hammered on the fact that 22 of the games shown were exclusive to the console which is a fancy way of saying “Pay no attention to the PC you already have.”<\/p>\n

4A Games kicked things off with a surprise announcement for Metro Exodus<\/a> which puts fans back into post-apocalyptic Russia. Ubisoft showed Assassin’s Creed: Origins<\/a>, which now has random loot and a Far Cry primal hawk buddy that acts like a sighting drone. If trolling and betrayal are your thing, PlayerUnkown’s Battlegrounds<\/a> should be right up your alley. Speaking of trolling, Battlegrounds will be exclusive to Xbox. State of Decay 2<\/a>‘s trailer presented a min-tale of finding a new survivor in the zombie apocalypse, saving her, letting her join your game, then ended with her ultimately leaving. Rare answered the question “How can we show Sea of Thieves<\/a> with co-op plaers that do not exist in real life?” Super Lucky’s Tale<\/a> looked like Conker’s Good Fur Day. Crackdown 3<\/a> rounded up the games section of the show with Terry Crews and some decidedly last-gen looking explosions.<\/p>\n

Microsoft announced that the Backwards Compatibility Program will be extended to original Xbox games. Good news for people that have held on to their Crimson Skies or Fable disks.<\/p>\n

Finally, BioWare ran through some canned gameplay for Anthem<\/a>. Giant robots. Exosuits. Beasts. Open world co-op gameplay. Jump jets and random loot. It’s Destiny all smashed up with Horizon Zero Dawn and Titanfall. The video also took a cue from Sea of Thieves and presented co-op gaming wholly incongruous with reality.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
