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

"Starfield is the most important RPG ever!"

lol

[–] jack@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm already happy with what I've seen

FABLE, STAR WARS OUTLAWS, AVOWED??? All look great so far.

[–] hybridhavoc@beehaw.org 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That Fable showing got me more excited than I expected it to honestly.

[–] jack@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I loved the older Fable games so I was pleasantly surprised when I saw the full reveal yesterday!

[–] mustyOrange@beehaw.org 7 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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

[–] Silverhand@beehaw.org 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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.

[–] StarshipGardener@beehaw.org 3 points 1 year ago

When they announced that I had a feeling they meant mostly in-engine cinematics. Looks like that's exactly what we got

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!

[–] babyphatman@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Thanks for making this! It's exactly what I was looking for!

I'm keeping my expectations low, but I hope to be surprised.

[–] TopHat@compuverse.uk 1 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] thedeserter@lemmy.fmhy.ml 6 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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.

[–] TopHat@compuverse.uk 4 points 1 year ago

I'm honestly glad both Sony and Microsoft keep pushing PC ports to Steam. My Deck's taking advantage of that.

[–] tiwenty@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Tbh it's only been a year or so under Xbox, anyone can love any game anyway :p

[–] BurningnnTree@lemmy.one 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

[–] TopHat@compuverse.uk 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Hopefully an announcement of a global rollout of Game Pass Friends and Family too. 👀

[–] hybridhavoc@beehaw.org 2 points 1 year ago

That would be cool. I know a lot of people have been eagerly awaiting this.

Games so far looking good! Just funny that with 95% of the games, it ends with saying play day one on game pass

[–] Axemetal@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Fable looked like it had the right atmosphere.

[–] thedeserter@lemmy.fmhy.ml 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Interesting title for the inxile game, Clockwork revolution

Thanks for this! Was thinking of making a thread for this. So excited!!!

[–] TopHat@compuverse.uk 2 points 1 year ago

You're welcome! I was a bit surprised there was no thread yet at Beehaw.

[–] InfiniteVariables@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Jussant(sp?) Looked cool as hell

[–] hybridhavoc@beehaw.org 3 points 1 year ago

Definitely looks interesting. Want to see more.

[–] thedeserter@lemmy.fmhy.ml 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Still no release date for fable

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.

[–] StarshipGardener@beehaw.org 3 points 1 year ago

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.

CITIES SKYLINES 2

[–] simple@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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.

[–] thedeserter@lemmy.fmhy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

I’m with you. After being teased that long ago, my body is ready!

[–] TopHat@compuverse.uk 1 points 1 year ago

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):

spoilerCybepunk's DLC being preorderable, with a 30$/€ price tag
spoilerPersona 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.

[–] Luminance6716@lemmy.one 3 points 1 year ago

Thanks! I’m so excited for the Starfield portion!

[–] thedeserter@lemmy.fmhy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

Omg!! The new atlus game, Metaphor!! Can’t wait

[–] thedeserter@lemmy.fmhy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

There’s Avowed. Dang next year

[–] bitrate@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Come on Gears remaster

[–] Silverhand@beehaw.org 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

[–] TopHat@compuverse.uk 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Starfield's considered a separate show, being right after the Xbox Games Showcase.

[–] Silverhand@beehaw.org 3 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] zaktmt@beehaw.org 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

[–] TopHat@compuverse.uk 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

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.

Edit: My biggest hope currently is them finally announcing rolling out Game Pass Friends and Family globally very soon. That's my "day one" purchase with 4 friends for sure. Would love to stream those games to my Deck.

[–] hybridhavoc@beehaw.org 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

“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.

[–] TopHat@compuverse.uk 3 points 1 year ago

I think it speaks to accepting the reality of where they are with regards to hardware sales. Agreed, but I wouldn't say the Xbox situation is as hopeless as he paints it out to be if they got XGS games to show for it. Especially with Sony's exclusivity deals (which luckily are far less than before, looking at Street Fighter 6 for example). Phil's philosophy of getting games on any platform (despite starting to Xbox/PC lock Bethesda games) definitely shows with third party developers nowadays.

Sony set the bar low this time around, so I think it'll be good. Last showcase with the Hi-Fi Rush shadow drop was a good format for them - quick, content-filled. If they stick with that type of format, I'm a happy guy.

[–] thedeserter@lemmy.fmhy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

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

[–] Axemetal@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Did we know CS2 was gonna be on gamepass?

[–] BurningnnTree@lemmy.one 2 points 1 year ago

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.)

[–] majornelson@ohai.social 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

@TopHat Hello all! Glad you enjoyed the show (well...some of you did!)

[–] TopHat@compuverse.uk 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Thanks for posting here! Welcome to the federated message boards! :)

So many of the games shown today have this animated JRPG look to them. I wonder if that’s a trend we are going to see with these upcoming games. Kinda weird for me
