"Starfield is the most important RPG ever!"
lol
I'm obviously really looking forward to seeing more on Starfield, but here are some other titles I'm hoping to hear about:
- Fable
- Avowed
- Perfect Dark
- Hellblade 2
- Contraband
15 minute gameplay trailer of Fable would make my month. I'm hoping this will be great
Yeah I think we may be a little too optimistic with Fable - it may still be too early. But we can still dream.
Man, I really just cant be bothered to give a shit about any trailer that doesnt have game play, which is about all of them
I agree as well. With Star Wars Outlaws, I was disappointed with how vague the trailer was regarding gameplay... but looks like they're revealing gameplay tomorrow, so looking forward to that!
Agreed. Can’t tell how far are these games
It's crazy how they came out ahead of this bragging about how all of their trailers would be either gameplay or in-game, and it's all just cinematic shit anyways.
When they announced that I had a feeling they meant mostly in-engine cinematics. Looks like that's exactly what we got
Wohoo! Direct thread is here! Let the hype begin! Even as PS user, I love Bethesda games. Have been hearing about Avowed a lot lately. I can always play these games on PC/laptop.
I'm honestly glad both Sony and Microsoft keep pushing PC ports to Steam. My Deck's taking advantage of that.
Tbh it's only been a year or so under Xbox, anyone can love any game anyway :p
Hoping for an announcement of Psychonauts 3. Also it would be cool to see some kind of confirmation of Halo project Tatanka, although I think that's unlikely.
Also I'm guessing there will probably be a surprise Game Pass shadow drop, so that will be cool.
Hopefully an announcement of a global rollout of Game Pass Friends and Family too. 👀
That would be cool. I know a lot of people have been eagerly awaiting this.
Still no release date for fable
Really not surprising though.
Yeah their own major titles lacking a release date or year isn't a good look. Also the avowed game looks super dated graphically. Poor man's skyrim lol
Did they reference the Adoring Fan execution video?
Sure did
Thanks for this! Was thinking of making a thread for this. So excited!!!
You're welcome! I was a bit surprised there was no thread yet at Beehaw.
Really hoping for Fable! Soft spot for that series and it's been too long.
I believe they already teased it. I feel like a Fable announcement is a lock.
I'm already happy with what I've seen
FABLE, STAR WARS OUTLAWS, AVOWED??? All look great so far.
That Fable showing got me more excited than I expected it to honestly.
I loved the older Fable games so I was pleasantly surprised when I saw the full reveal yesterday!
Games so far looking good! Just funny that with 95% of the games, it ends with saying play day one on game pass
Fable looked like it had the right atmosphere.
Thanks for making this! It's exactly what I was looking for!
I'm keeping my expectations low, but I hope to be surprised.
You're welcome! I was surprised at a lack of an Xbox event thread. Cool to see MajorNelson even show up here for a comment.
Did we know CS2 was gonna be on gamepass?
This is a much better Xbox event! They have in game or in engine footage to show for a lot of games being shown. No release dates for a lot of them is a bummer but there’s an improvement. Phantom liberty looked rad! I don’t have a good gaming laptop, wish had a pc for starfield
Jussant(sp?) Looked cool as hell
Definitely looks interesting. Want to see more.
Glad to see there's so many interesting games coming to Game Pass. The Capcom game especially looks cool. Starfield looks great. A little disappointed there weren't any new hype-worthy game announcements though. But overall I'm feeling good about the future of Game Pass. (Even though most stuff they showed isn't coming out until 2024.)
Come on Gears remaster
I'm hopeful Ninja Theory maintained, if not upped, the quality with Hellblade II. What an incredible experience the first game was. It was so impactful.
Thanks! I’m so excited for the Starfield portion!
There’s Avowed. Dang next year
Rumors have it that Avowed will show up in the Xbox conference. I'm really excited to finally see some gameplay for it after a looong time of radio silence.
I’m with you. After being teased that long ago, my body is ready!
Whew, Avowed's been announced three years ago, huh. I honestly forgot about the game. I could see them showign some new gameplay. 👀I've heard of other leaked stuff (in spoilers):
spoiler
Cybepunk's DLC being preorderable, with a 30$/€ price tag
spoiler
Persona 3 Re-Loaded, similar to how Xbox had marketing exclusivity with the 5 and 3 ports on multi-plat
I heard rumours Fable would also show up, surprising many considering the rumoured troubled development.
This is where MS has a chance to really make a splash and show what all of the developers they have been acquiring are working on. I hope it's successful, my Xbox has turned into a Rock Band 4 machine.
I used to be optimistic for Microsoft since Phil Spencer got the Game Pass ball rolling, but I'm doubtful we'll see a lot of concrete games. Especially with his recent speech that "even with games we won't sell more Xboxes than PlayStations" (not that I care about the "console war", but that's definitely not a confident man speaking). If it's a splash, it would've been bigger if the CMA and the FTC didn't start stopping Microsoft from acquiring Activision-Blizzard-King.
I'm still rooting for them, though! Sony got some banger games, Nintendo's "set for the year" with TOTK and their other smaller games, now it's Xbox' turn to swing.
“even with games we won’t sell more Xboxes than PlayStations” (not that I care about the “console war”, but that’s definitely not a confident man speaking)
I don't think that speaks to confidence in general, I think it speaks to accepting the reality of where they are with regards to hardware sales.
I am hoping this will be a good showcase for them. Regardless, I appreciate that they are allegedly taking the "no CGI trailers" approach.
Everwild seems like a realistic thing to hope for that would be exciting. I assume we'll be seeing Forza. Silksong seems like it'd be here if anywhere during this not-E3, but not getting my hopes up for that. Really have zero interest in Starfield, so I hope they don't spend too much of the time focused on that.
Starfield's considered a separate show, being right after the Xbox Games Showcase.
I'm assuming they'll still show it a bit during the xbox showcase and then show more in depth in the thing after, but maybe not.
Interesting title for the inxile game, Clockwork revolution
Looks great.
I'm really looked forward to Hellbade II, even though I never finished the original one (was NOT a fan of the combat bits, it felt like someone pausing a movie and refusing to unpause it until I did button mashing sequence). The atmosphere/vibes of the walking parts are so cool though.
I was totally surprised by Persona 3: Reload announcement /s
Pretty disappointed overall. Couple of the smaller things looked cool. Don't feel like I even had very high hopes, but everything either was uninteresting to me or was cinematics only with no hint of how the game plays.
What's everyone hoping to see today? I'm wondering if they have a "big finale".
CITIES SKYLINES 2
Omg!! The new atlus game, Metaphor!! Can’t wait
@TopHat Phil Spencer wearing a :hexen2: Hexen shirt made me go yoooo
Now I wanna know why he wore that. Hmmmmm. 👀
