Infinity killed what of my love of Halo that survived Spartan Ops and Halo 5. Hard to imagine what they can show that I'll like. Maybe, since SF6 is on Xbox finally, we'll get a second character reveal after Guile? Probably too early to announce any ActiBliz IPs since that acquisition is still in the early stages. Some Japanese games?
Expecting lots of woke pander-y shit. I wonder how many chair-spins / volume mutes I'll have to get through it, or if I'll abandon it before the end. Your move, MS.
Riot collaboration, all characters unlocked in League, Valorant, lots of cards in Runeterra. Fun stuff.
New Forza looks excellent, Flight Sim gets helicopters and the Halo Pelican (brilliant). Hotwheels collab in Horizon, seems fitting but seems like we already did this once. Forza is a definite for me, the rest just looks decent.
Scorn is a creepy, Giger-style, shooter(?), with a bangin doom-style soundtrack. I like it muchly. Cocoon is a minimalist puzzle platformer that looks fun.
Finally a new Team Ninja game on Xbox: Wu Long. Looks good, but no gameplay yet. Atlus is porting Persona 3, 4, and 5. Very happy about this. Kojima pre-announces an Xbox collaboration on a brand new game. All in all, good news on the Japanese front.
Big Diablo 4 presentation. Until MS makes a show of going through Acti-Bliz's headquarters with a flamethrower, this is tainted goods. No thanks.
Tons of time reserved for Todd Howard to fellate himself on-screen. Starfield looks... sharp but dated. Bullets have no impact... whole game looks like same old Bethesda but now with super-sampling. Flight mechanics shown, and they're arcade rather than space sim. In a word, "ok, sure."

No Halo, I'm shocked.
