[feynoob]

Here we go gentlemen's. It was a pleasure being part of this awesome journey.

I am gonna have fun with that standalone show.

 

[Valedix]

Then you are not a proper gentleman then.

 

[HeisenbergFX4]

Ah yes, minecraft.

pleasebeexcited.gif

Not so much but am very excited to see Forza and Redfall

 

[R3claimer117]

Ah yes, minecraft.

pleasebeexcited.gif

Lol probably the biggest game in the world getting an update. May not be to your liking but let's not pretend that Minecraft is not a big deal or that there wouldn't be a huge group of people excited for that.

 

[Riky]

Starfield deserves its own show so this makes sense, everything else would be secondary if it was shown with them.

 

[vj27]

I know people tend to shit on Jez here but I mean, him and grub gotta solid ass track record with this stuff, can't argue with the results ya know.

 

[Mr Moose]

I was going to say this was already posted but... It was already posted by the OP, on Monday.

 

[R6Rider]

I was kinda hoping to see what Machine Games is working on.

 

[Lasha]

Forza time!

 

[Strider Highwind]

Just gonna check out the Redfall part. I enjoy Horizon but I suck at Forza Motorsport/the sim stuff - prolly only look at the prettyp ics yall take of it lol

 

[legacy24]

ESO seriously lmao

 

[analog_future]

This is definitely a smaller, Nintendo Direct/State of Play level event, so expectations should be set accordingly.

Looking forward to seeing more on Forza/Minecraft/Redfall though!

 

[Umbasaborne]

The starfield e3 2023 show case, where they will announce the release date of 11/11/23!!

It says right in the OP that it's getting it's own standalone show.

 

[Ghost of Caelid]

I'm excited to see what indies they announce and show…2022 was a killer year for indies on gamepass.

ESO seriously lmao

Game is great with a ton of players…I'm excited for next expansion.

 

[vj27]

Still wish they'd show off this fucking halo battle royale (tatanka from certain affinity) for infinite instead elder scrolls online… or just both, like wtf 343. They finally are done with half/year spaced out seasons, figured they'd show SOMETHING because I don't think a battle royale mode is E3 worthy

 

[AJUMP23]

I always enjoy a good games presentation, Unless it is bad then I do not enjoy it.

 

[Robb]

Looking forward to more Redfall info.

Makes sense to give StarField its own showing.

 

[Barlow]

Wonder what will be there "one more thing"

 

[R6Rider]

Wonder what will be there "one more thing"

Always room for Fallout 76 5 Year Anniversary Edition.

 

[gothmog]

Can we just skip this and go right to the Starfield showcase?

I'm excited to get my hands on Forza, Minecraft, and to a lesser extent Redfall. Not sure I need a deep dive on these as much as release dates, though.

 

[Ronin_7]

ESO seriously lmao

Context?

 

[crackajack]

I always enjoy a good games presentation, Unless it is bad then I do not enjoy it.

Aren't "deep dives/ extended gameplay" showings those shows that spend way too much time on all games and even make the good ones appear boring? I can't stand marketing fluff from overly enthusiastic presenters and a group of devs circle jerking for their own game for 5 or 10 minutes. That length is reserved for reviews that actually say good and bad stuff about the game.

Where are properly tight shows, that are only accompanied by deep dive things afterwards?

 

[Lone Wolf]

Wonder what will be there "one more thing"

It is not that type of show

Redfall deep dive won't hurt as it seems that people are still confused about what kind of a game it really is.

 

[clarky]

Sounds good to me. Pretty much what everyone has been asking for. Clarification that Starfields getting its own show as well.

Im sure the usual suspects will moan about it as per

 

[Deleted member 471617]

Hyped!!!

Just need that release date for Redfall and im good to go!!

 

[AJUMP23]

I am looking forward to Forza.

 

[BennyBlanco]

Those first few screenshots of Forza live rent free in my head.

 

[HeisenbergFX4]

Wonder what will be there "one more thing"

Friends and Family gamepass officially launching

 

[93xfan]

Wonder what will be there "one more thing"

They'll reiterate the GwG you can get this month.

They'll also introduce the guy who picks the games. He wears ironic T-shirts and anything to him is good as long as it's not popular.

 

[clarky]

ESO seriously lmao

ESO has decent sized MAU. Why wouldn't they show off the latest expansion?

 

[Luipadre]

Hopefully that starfield show is in february with an april release date

 

[Dr. Samuel Hayden]

Wish they gave a date for the Starfield show.

 

[digoutyoursoul]

Nothing of interest for me , I'll wait till another show. I have to say it's a good job they bought Bethesda.

I really hope 2023 isn't just what 2022 should of been.

 

[Esppiral]

Minecraft Raytraced maybe?

 

[Chukhopops]

Looking forward to it, surprised they won't talk about other Q1 games like Ghostwire Tokyo (since it's not part of GP in February).

Release dates for Forza / Redfall / Minecraft Legends is nice.

 

[clarky]

Nothing of interest for me , I'll wait till another show. I have to say it's a good job they bought Bethesda.

I really hope 2023 isn't just what 2022 should of been.

If the release everything slated for the first half of this year, and they deliver, plus say one more AAA around November it'll be a fantastic year.

 

[anthony2690]

Can't wait to see more Redfall, easily one of the games I'm most excited for this year

Looking forward to see more Forza Motorsport too.

& Is it too early for any mention of Tokyo Ghostwire Xbox version? Been really looking forward to this one!

 

[Kvally]

ESO has decent sized MAU. Why wouldn't they show off the latest expansion?

I guess I don't see what is funny about ESO either. Great game and big following.

 

[remember_spinal]

Ah yes, minecraft.

pleasebeexcited.gif

Ironically Minecraft legends looks like the most interesting game listed on the event

 

[FritzJ92]

Nothing of interest for me , I'll wait till another show. I have to say it's a good job they bought Bethesda.

I really hope 2023 isn't just what 2022 should of been.

2022 was what Playstation 2021 should have been and 2023 is what xbox 2022 should have been. I think we can pick up the trends right now.

Yeah, even when Bethesda still where third party the Bethesda games where all coming to Xbox, so there was no need for MS to buy Bethesda.
Same is also true for Activision Blizzard, all does games where coming to Xbox anyway...Let that sink in......

 

[samoilaaa]

so many people laugh at elder scrolls online and minecraft just because they dont like it or they are just jealous of their success

 

[MidGenRefresh]

This and a dedicated Starfield show?

 

[Pelta88]

Looking forward to it.
