Microsoft Games Showcase Event Today (11am ET / 8am PT / 4pm UK)

If Valhalla is even close to as good as Odyssey, I know another 100 hours of my life are gone. Everything else will be icing on the cake until that Halo Infinite reveal.
 
VERY interested to see how a cross-gen 3rd party game will look on SeriesX. Itll definitely be the better looking/performing version compared to ps5, but I want to see how much xb1/ps4 hold it back (if at all)
 
Let's see the flops at work baby

From my point of view it looks like sony is severely behind on the messaging war with microsoft. We're potentially looking at this lineup next week all showing next gen gameplay:
-Cyber punk,
-assassins creed,
-elden ring,
-ea games, probably fifa and and battlefield
and who knows what else.
All with xbox branded marketing. Probably all with smart delivery and maybe even some on gamespass day one.

I get it, sony can show a picture of a controller and generate 5 million likes. But you cant just let your opponent show all the biggest third party games and your response be radio silence. MS was succesful before, they can do it again. Look i get it, sony still has alot riding on the ps4, and xbox is hungry to put this generation behind them, but this radio silence stuff is an extremely bad strategy. Unless they have a few aces up their sleeve, and i mean gigantic head turned exclusives, im concerned for sony at the moment. After the direction of the last of us 2 ive lost confidence in the strength of their first party.
 
Current gen games can be impressive too, I mean RTX Minecraft has nice FX.
We will be happy to reveal our first Assassin's Creed Valhalla gameplay trailer during the First Look Xbox Series X Gameplay on Inside Xbox. Stay tuned!

Too late haha.
I wonder if they will highlight the differences the new console offers (better FPS, maybe higher resolution and better FX, throw a few ray tracing effects).... I hope there is more to it, because at the current rate it sounds like they plan more for an xbox "x" "x" than a real next-gen thing... at least initially.
 
Very excited. Add me to the train if possible.
Its already launching with my killer app: Halo Infinite - but I want to see what else is cooking.
Crossing fingers for a surprise Japanese Studio.

I hope we get some clarification if the system is launching day one with full BC - and word that the BC team is going to resume adding more games to the list. I need my Bangai-O Missile Fury and Bionic Commando Re-armed 1.
 
I just remembered something!



At the very end they say they'll reveal the design story of the Cyberpunk 2077 themed controller in May!

Coincidence? I think not. New CP2077 footage, along with "Full design story"?
Yay!

8am is so early. Why they do this. Presumably everything is prerecorded so why do it so early.

Either way I'm excited.
 
They wouldn't have an event strictly for 3rd party games. There's no reason to make that distinction. they're trying to sell next gen consoles. There will be at least one first party reveal, probably several.


So this is supposed to be mostly 3rd party with a 1st party event coming later on?
 
Sweet! I want to see how nextgen games look like. I hope they're not just current gen graphics upscaled with better performance.

Also, I don't want anything to do with any trains anymore. I'm still recovering from that last crash :goog_injured:

It's not like those third party games were somehow exclusive to their platform, this is not what people are curious to see here... I assume they will be pretty similar to their PS5 counterparts... yepedidooo

Not only that, but their first party titles are cross gen... so keep your expectations in check there too, at least for the first year or so.
