I'll be OK if we can at the least get this:

Start show with Halo infinite looking refreshed with gameplay trailer
New Gears of war spin off announcement trailer
We happy few 2 announcement trailer
Perfect dark gameplay trailer
Hellblade 2 gameplay trailer
Avowed gameplay trailer
Fable gameplay trailer
State of decay 3 gameplay trailer
Indiana jones teaser trailer
Release dates for these games between now-2023
Show ends with Starfield extended gameplay demo with surprise 'available to play right now on gamepass'

As long as Todds lovely leather jacket makes an appearance I'll be more than satisfied with the showing.....perhaps Phil will wear a cool t-shirt too!
 
I think Bethesda will be the most interesting part of this showcase.

I think the only big news will be studios acquisition and some multi-platform series going exclusive.
Looking forward to see what's coming to Game Pass!
 
The second E3 show worth watching. SGF was worth it for the expected Elden Ring reveal. This one is worth it, because I think both Sony and MS fans are interested to see what MS has planned for the next couple of years. Should be an entertaining thread.
 
I voted for over 100 games as a joke… thinking I would be the only one doing so… I guess I wasn't the only one thinking about it.
 
It's today? Shit, my beer won't arrive until Tuesday. I do have some shandy though, hmm...
They'd only need to show 2 good games to shit on Ubisofts show, the only way is up.

What time does it start? Says 12 hours in OP but I thought it was 6 PM BST?
Edit: Never mind, that's not a countdown timer lol.

3 hours from now.
 
I really hope Microsoft don't go full woketard, will stop watching if there's any reference to things I can't mention here (because freedom of speech is dead even here on these forums it seems).

We'll see, putting that trash aside, hopefully they just focus on the games and that the games we're expecting to see, exceed expectations and that there are a plethora (love using that word since The Three Amigos) of surprises!

As a bare minimum, Halo Infinite and Starfield need to blow me away! But truth be told, they need to go to 11 in every department (all amazing gameplay, no lying in-engine fake news) if they hope to gain any momentum against Sony. Hopefully they can make Xbox gaming great again!

Reminder that if you registered, you can log in to https://experiences.fanfest.xbox.com/ 20 minutes from now. Probably going to get hammered because for some backward ass reason they limited the attendance to 50000 people.
I'm in.

Phil Spencer, Sarah Bond, Aaron Greenberg, and Pete Hines. For today's event, we will be hosting a pre-show Q&A livestream with these special guests that only FanFest fans will have access to.
 
I expect a high octane presentation packed to the gills with AAA quality games. We didnt get shit all last gen and were told to be patient, far as Im concerned this is their last chance and they 100% need to put up or shut up.

SHOW ME THE GAMES, PHIL!
 
I think MS has done a great job in not hyping this event up too much. It has more of an air of mystery surrounding it;

Exactly what will Xbox and Bethesda show?

I don't expect them to deliver the craziest things we've seen yet because COVID is still around but I still can't shake the feeling that they have some really interesting and unexpected stuff up their sleeve.

Very excited for today's show. MS usually shows a good deal of third party games but maybe they will focus solely on first party today since everyone expects it due to Bethesda acquisition. Either way, it's gonna be interesting to see MS plans for the future of Xbox. Go Team Green!
 
Most important is just to know starfield will support robust modding. Other side stuff for me is AOE4 release date. Since avowed won't be here so probably nothing more I really want. I bet there will be a 400 pound person with mixed gender to be host as well just so MS can call themselves the best of show by that. Other than that I have 0 expectations. Will likely be pretty bad.

I have my Thatcher's Haze (cloudy cider), Howdah Bombay Mix and Xbox Fanfest page loaded. Bring it on, Philippe!
 
I'm really looking forward to the show, the only stuff that worries me is Bethesda, I like the games they show, but I can't sit through their e3 shows sadly.

So I'm hoping it's like the usual Microsoft show, games, games, games.

I am more than happy with gameplay trailers, but I don't need to see a full walk through etc.

Battlefield 2042 & Far Cry 6 already confirmed for the show! Stalker 2 is also a given!

I've just had a few beers and some hotdogs and mac & cheese whilst watching England beat Croatia. Still 2 hours to go now. Fuck.

Devolver presentation was stellar, as usual.
To each their own! For me it didn't really do anything. Some cool looking things, sure, but nothing that really interested me a ton. The couple that did for me ever so slightly were Death's Door and that Samurai game. But that's it for me. 🤷🏻‍♂️

ill take my chances and keep them high
This! They owe us a huge presentation that pulls no punches, and knocks it out of the park, anything less is a total failure. They had the whole previous generation to prepare, if they come up short again this year Im done.
 
Don't count out Nintendo yet, they could have one of those rare home runs. Unless you don't think they compete with each other, which would be fair.

Why they don't compete?? :unsure::unsure:

But anything short of Breath of the wild 2 and Switch pro reveal, they are gonna loose by default.

Xbox has Halo and Starfield basically confirmed from their E3 conference pic.
