[Starfield]

90 minutes is the standard for Microsoft, but including Bethesda that would make it kinda short, my guess is that we are not going to see some of the July 2020 games to make space.

they could be focused more on 1st party. afterall they have 23 Studios now, also they wanna show gameplay for some stuff soo

 

[Javthusiast]

Give me huge AAA third party releases on game pass day one.

I've seen 90 minute conferences with almost nothing worthwhile. I've seen Nintendo Directs with a ton of huge announcements in 25 minutes.

The length of conferences has very little to do with the quantity or quality of the games.

 

[Ass of Can Whooping]

Need to see some gameplay with firm release dates. Don't even bother announcing anything new unless it's coming next year at the latest

 

[elliot5]

A supposed insider said Avowed should be showing gameplay at E3, so we'll see... hope that's the case. Obsidian tends to work quickly.

 

[Trogdor1123]

Totally slipped my mind that e3 was this close. Very exciting

Yeah, i saw that post. I'm confident we will see something about Avowed.

 

[mckmas8808]

Lets GOOO!!!!

Yeah perhaps, but considering they also promote heavily third parties, I think they might not show some stuff that is too far away, Hellblade 2 could be definetely be MIA as they were moving to UE5 and gave us snaps of work in progress and records of mocap, my guess is that of the last year, SoD 3, Halo, Fable and Forza could be the ones to be at E3, but one could wonder if they also have ditched the two Forzas for the tomorrow's event instead.

They don't have long interruptions tbh, so I think they would have to shorten on that or some games are definetely going to be out, and that's considering their last two E3 ran at 97 minutes actually.

Xbox & Bethesda E3 Games Showcase on June 13th, 10am PT - 1PM ET - 6PM BST (90 minutes)

I know the show contents weren't final (may still be getting adjusted); but I was told/under the impression Avowed would have gameplay at E3.

[Hawking Radiation]

If starfield is both exclusive and really compelling I'll have to bite and cop a Series S. Been craving a modern space based rpg.

Cop the Series S now. Why wait. Its a fantastic little console. I give mine kisses every night before I go to bed.

I hope Starfield is a realistic take on space travel. Kind of like Interstellar. If it is whoo boy, I'm there day one.

MS and Bethesda conferences (especially Bethesda) often get bloated up with speakers nobody wants to hear from and even shitty musical acts

Hopefully they don’t have any of that if they have enough games to show. I especially have no interest in Todd Howard on stage for 20 minutes spewing lies, if MS are smart he is nowhere near the stage

 

[MOTM]

One thing I'm thankful for when it comes to Microsoft, they hold their conferences at a time that's good for Europeans.

What about the 4 Xbox fans in Japan ?

 

[3liteDragon]

Highly doubt it but we'll see, when did the game go into production?

 

[YukiOnna]

Excited to see new GamePass announcements, Halo Infinite, and whatever else they got planned.

 

[Kimahri]

I'm selfish. Plus, they get the Dragon Quest stream. They good.

Gubb said it wouldn't be there.

 

[Camreezie]

Viva Pinata or bust Baybeee

 

[Camreezie]

This is my previous prediction, but I'll post it here for good measure.

Seems very very safe , maybe one or two announcements in there too of new projects or sequels and I could see that being the whole thing

 

[VAVA Mk2]

90 long minutes?

Give me that vidya gamez goodness.

Who is the top one?

 

[MOTM]

Kinda wish it were two hours. When you consider FPS Boost/GamePass announcements, Phil talking about Xbox being stronger than ever for the first 10 minutes, and Halo Infinite campaign footage, it doesn’t leave a lot of time for everything else. Hopefully they have a packed show.

They probably keep it 1h30 because it’s the ideal length for a show/movie etc. But yeah hopefully not too much talk from Based Phil.

Last year they have showed some indies in the pre show of the summer game fest..was last year? Well i don't remember when

 

[MOTM]

Very interesting that they branded the showcase as Xbox & Bethesda instead of just Xbox. Could be pure marketing reasons, but just maybe Bethesda will be somewhat autonomous after all, with the limited caveats of all games must be first or better on GP.

You guys really never give up hey.

This is becoming pathetic.

I hope they also have some 3rd party games unlike last year.

 

[Stuart360]

Or it could simply be that Bethesda themselves always had their own E3 conference, but now they are with Xbox. Crazy i know.

 

[splattered]

Naming Bethesda separately will definitely bring a bigger crowd, everyone will tune in to see what's coming from Bethesda when they may have not bothered watching Xbox's shows in the past. I think it's smart marketing and eventually the two will probably just fold together for future shows.

Cause Bethesda still have value as a brand

 

[itsjustJEFF]

Very interesting that it's the Xbox & Bethesda showcase. But very smart. Great way to tie Bethesda with Xbox for those who don't follow gaming news that much. Eventually Bethesda, and it's franchises, will be synonymous with the Xbox name. I'm really liking that promo! Definitely seeing some Starfield in there some where LOL I don't see how this could be anything but a jam packed show.

 

[Lone Wolf]

That sounds like Warzone Firefight without the PVE part and it’s already getting me quite excited, H5 was amazing.

I’m really hoping they keep Warzone Firefight PVE and expand it cause it was the one part of Halo 5 I actually liked.

Either that or Bethesda’s name holds some weight as a heavy hitter and it’s a phased marketing plan to slowly ease the Bethesda name out of there. It’s still only the first year of Microsoft owning them and they used to be a gigantic well-known publisher and there are still old multi-platform deals in place and we all know Sony and Nintendo don’t want “Xbox Game Studios” floating around on any intros.

The armor mods on the Halo half of the image are very Halo Reach-Like, I love it.

I think back in Feb or March I mentioned to my cousin he'll need an Xbox to play the next Fallout and he was confused because he hadn't heard about the Bethesda deal yet. It's def targeted at folks like him that don't know yet.

Bethesda also just has a strong brand name that I think Xbox should never drop. Could you imagine if Sony acquired Square Enix and dropped that brand name?

Let's go MS!!!

Call me crazy but I was really wanting a battle royale halo where you dropped in inside ODST drop pods.

You are crazy.

The market is flooded with BR games. There's really no need for more.

 

[Stuart360]

DrDisrespect constantly talks about Halo Infinite and its BR possibilities. He's just assuming it will have a BR mode,and i bet he's not the only one.
BR isnt my thing, but i feel it would be a bit of a waste to not have Halo BR.

You are probably right.
I'm just salty over seeing my favorite genre gets destroyed by that garbage gamemode

 

[II_JumPeR_I]

I rather have a BR mode than a game that still trys to chase esports with 4vs4 sweatfest arena that will be dead within weeks.
