My favorite thing shown was the Shadow of the Colossus remake. It's one of my favorite games of all time so that's pretty awesome. Also Days Gone kinda surprised me by how fun it looked. Not entirely original but seeing gameplay actually peaked my interest a bit more than before.
Beyond Good and Evil 2 looked cool as well, but I haven't played the original so I can't say much.
Honestly, I agree that it was a bit disappointing. I watched Microsoft's and out of all the games they showcased I was only really interested in about 4 or 5 of them. I'm also blacklisting the words 'exclusive', '4k', 'world premiere' and 'enhanced'. I'd be rich by now if I had a £ for every time those words were mentioned

(yet nobody ever bothered to say you need a 4k television to even display all that 4k enhanced stuff). Bethesda's and Ubisoft's was a bit lackluster I think. I had to catch up on the rest of the conferences because of time-zones. Sony I was a bit meh about because there was no Death Stranding, The Last of Us 2 or Bloodborne 2. Arguably some of the most interesting titles coming up and nothing?
However, I am very excited for the Shadow of the Colossus remake, Ori and the Will of the Wisps, Life is Strange 2 and Ashens. Skull & Bones looks interesting; we can never have too many pirate games. Also kind of looking forward to Assassin's Creed Origins despite the guided arrows and funny bird animation.
Also I don't know who came up with the name of the xBox One X or whatever .. but they probably should have stuck with Scorpio ... it's a bit off-putting. And the price tag.
