Trying to hard bro. Comedy's gotta be effortless

I am bored. Its too hard to contain myself. 1 hour to go. So I want to make myself little bit idiot, if I want to handle the games that is coming to gamepass. So a little fun won't hurt.

 

[jshackles]

Ubisoft+ for Game Pass Ultimate (similar to EA) would be a really good get for the service. Hoping we see something like that.

 

[ShaikhCroft]

This waiting is killing my nerves.

Meanwhile taking one last raid on Valhalla.

 

[splattered]

My favorite time of the year let's goooo! I don't even care if halo disappoints! It's more halo, that's all we should expect. As long as MP is fun that's all I care about. The one thing I really hope we see or gets talked about is a VR partnership of some sort. I am beyond ready for VR on Xbox.

ALL HAIL GAME PASS !!!?!!!!?!

 

[godhandiscen]

M MvCSpiderman i think the date info in the OP is wrong.

 

[Banjo64]

[ShinraMiddleMananger]

Very high expectations TBH

They should be through the roof; this is the most important and consequential confrence of all time for xbox and will set the tone for this generation. They better bring the heat, no excuses.

 

[Bartski]

I wonder at what point is Phil gonna show us the dongle

 

[Dolomite]

Love love Steve Martin.

I looooove VR, but Microsoft couldn't be more indifferent to it, needs to be able to make them a lot more money, hope I'm very very wrong! I'm not a Playstation guy, but massive kudos to Sony for what they've done in that space. As much as I love VR, it won't be mainstream until it's a pair of shades or even less intrusive. True holographic technology can't get here soon enough!

 

[MastaKiiLA]

is this the live reaction thread?

Yes. This is where we will see all permutations of SlimySnake

 

[Cocksman]

I’ll just ask this here… I’m not much of a gamer these days but is it possible to stroll into a GameStop and pick up a Series X yet? I have like 300 dollars in credit .

 

[Julius Ibidus]

Love love Steve Martin.

he loves......to get.......SMALL!!!!

 

[cormack12]

For me personally a good showing would be:

Halo Infinite
Starfield
Forza
FPS Boost on some new games (that I play)
Psychonauts 2
Battelefield marketing deal and gameplay
Update on one of the big games like Hellblade, Fable, Avowed.
News of the rumoured acquisitions
Back4blood gamepass

To push into S-Tier I'd have to say add three from:
Avowed gameplay
Fable 4 gameplay
Release date for any of the big IPs
Indiana footage
Banjo, Ryse or Kameo back
Shadow drop a game like crossfirex

Not unless you're super lucky. We're still at the point of them selling out online (when there's a restock) within seconds.

 

[Wulfer]

Can we get 1 Vs 100 back, it's a small game?? Please Phil.

keeping my expectations in check.

Halo
Forza
Starfield
Stalker
Scorn
+ a couple of others.

This year is too early to see loads, especially with Covid.

Finally a level headed reply by a member who believes that covid is a thing which affected everyone.

Most gaf people sitting safe in their homes but expect video game developers to go out and work and make video games for them lol.

 

[Ass of Can Whooping]

Come on Phil this is the one

All those years of shit E3s have led to this moment

 

[CrustyBritches]

This is a Steve Martin thread now?

 

[Julius Ibidus]

This is a Steve Martin thread now?

hells yeah!!!

 

[V1LÆM]

the only console you'll have a chance of buying is the Series S and that's if you buy online and you're quick.

both XSX + PS5 are like gold dust still unfortuantly.

 

[Kagey K]

The FanFest Watch Party has officially begun streaming (15 minutes to go!)

Any good info in there? I slept in and missed my chance to get in.

 

[T-Cake]

Any good info in there? I slept in and missed my chance to get in.

Not yet, they just started with fan questions. It's probably going to be very uneventful.

 

[Rheon]

Any good info in there? I slept in and missed my chance to get in.

Just an interview with Phil, Sarah Bond, Aaron Greenberg and Pete Hines from Bethesda right now. Nothing exciting yet.

 

[Banjo64]

Riky DarkMage619 CatLady can I get a hype check? We’re going to get a good show today!

LordBlodgett missed you off the list sorry!

 

[ShaikhCroft]

By the way, will this show be live or pre-recorded?

 

[Coolwhhip]

Just testing something

 

[MvCSpiderman]

45 minutes left

 

[Fulcizombie]

Not hyped at all for this, tbh.

 

[Riky]

Riky DarkMage619 CatLady can I get a hype check? We’re going to get a good show today!

I'm up for this, we're going to see Starfield which in itself is huge, plus Halo multiplayer which is a massive event. Then probably the greatest graphical showcase ever seen on console in Flight Simulator.

 

[Negotiator101]

Looking forward but keeping expectations in check.

 

[cormack12]

By the way, will this show be live or pre-recorded?

If it's like the other shows it will be prerendered or in engine.

Also why the fuck when I search twitch on my TV for the official stream do I just get a load of people restreaming with their face on. Fuck off twitch.

 

[prinz_valium]

Anyone else having trouble to oog into the fanfest website

 

[Julius Ibidus]

 

[Samrf89]

Microsoft has been gift wrapped the show. Let's see if they deliver.

 

[OceanGaming]

I'm giving 7 to 8/10 let's see if they meet it.

They are at least one year away from 9 to 10 out of 10 conferences.

But i hope they don't dissapoint.

 

[Men_in_Boxes]

Predicting Perfect Dark, Avowed, Hellblade II, and EverWild to be the pillars of today's show. I've already filed for divorce and quit my job to better focus on these four specific titles.

Also going to crack open some fresh wine, stuff from this year, to commemorate the occasion.

 

[WoodyStare]

Anyone else having trouble to oog into the fanfest website

Been fine for me so far, I believe it’s only limited to 50,000.

 

[CrustyBritches]

Just gotta finish up breakfast and I'm ready to rock...

...Mmmm, mmmm. That really hit the spot!

 

[YukiOnna]

Had a stupid dream where Phil Spencer was in my house and said he won't be doing Gamepass announcements today. Better not be some oracle.

 

[kanjobazooie]

They're trying to influence you with their influencers.

 

[SegaSnatcher]

"This will be our greatest showing of Xbox games we've ever done" Until Phil says the same thing next year.

 

[Julius Ibidus]

GOOD LORD!!!!

perhaps it was because you already know and love the pentultimate ascendency you receive from a GAME PASS membership??? hmmmm???

 

[YukiOnna]

GOOD LORD!!!!

Possibly. Though I was more concerned that Matt Booty was with him.

 

[[Sigma]]

My expectations are high this year, they have a bunch of studios. Basically double that of Sony's. Time to show a bunch of games. Not just a bunch of games, a bunch of good looking games that look fun to play. No excuses.

 

[SinDelta]

Jeeze you guys need better taste in gamer food.
