Xbox E3 event will be on June 13th

Taking bets on who's the first "keep your expectations in check" person.

On a serious note, they need to deliver, they're lucky a fair number of the core fans remain and care so give them some stuff to genuinely be excited about, not damage control again.
 
343, please. I'm begging you. Show us you pulled your heads out of your asses and made Halo Infinite so much better than what you showed us last year. Give me back my dreams of loving Halo again. Make me forget about Craig if just for a moment.
 
Do people listen correctly? He didnt outright said its on June 13, boom. He believes it but isnt sure.

If i have to guess, there will go with Friday, June 11. Just to start the Digital E3.

Tease someting at the Geoff show with a Tune in tomorrow would get the ball rolling way better.
 
This needs to be their best E3 for the best part of a decade.

No pressure.
I feel like Xbox just never gets these events right. They always go on for 15 minutes too long, and they always miss that Nintendo/Sony 'one more thing' moment that can make an ordinary show extraordinary. Sometimes I just wanna slap the shit out of Phil Spencer because surely it can't be that hard to just have a Banjo/Conker splash screen with a 30 second trailer or revive something cool like Viva Piñata.

Half the time the games are ok but they have no idea how to put it all together to make it exciting.

Sony and Nintendo are more ingrained in the entertainment industry from history so it could stem from that. I hear you tho, their shows come across a bit too corporate or false (inside Xbox was awful).

I just want them to have a first party as good or better than Sony. People will laugh at that , competition is a good thing and them pushing to be the best they can be for our money I only see as a positive.

I think they got this one, as long as the games look great and play even better, they've got the games now more than ever. I guess they open with Halo and end on Starfield, everything else is gravy.
 
I am just happy we are close to some long game annoucement shows again. I need that fix.

Halo and Starfield alone would make this a great E3 for me. They're my 2 most anticipated games of this generation.

Like you said everything else is gravy, but I hope we also get a whole lot of other great games in between. I so can not wait for this event.

I have to agree with you. Nintendo and Sony don't always get it right. There have been times where I wonder what they were thinking. But I've always felt like the difference between their shows and Xbox was soul. Most Xbox events come off as someone trying to sell me something. Which ultimately they all are. But I don't think Xbox has quite learned the art of selling me something without making it obvious. Nintendo and Sony feel more like celebrations. Their deliveries feel more like creators wanting to show me the cool shit they're doing. Xbox always felt like a guy in a suit reading off a checklist so he can get my card information.

That being said, regardless of the delivery it's always more important to look at the individual games and see if they excite you. Awesome presentations generate hype but they won't save any game that ultimately sucks and at the end of the day that is what is most important. Sooner or later the truth shows itself. But bad presentations can still show us games that are awesome and even generation defining. At that point no one will care how bad the show was when the game was revealed. And yeah, I want a new Conker or Viva Pinata. Hell, even a Kameo sequel.

They showed some screenshots like two weeks ago and people were still whining that it looked like a XBO game so I wouldn't hold your breath

personally I just want to see multiplayer at this point. I couldn't care less for the graphics if it means 120fps

Ultimately I also don't care if its not ground-breaking, graphics wise, I just want it to have that kickass gameplay of old. I want locations to be like Silent Cartographer but its not a self contained level, but an actual location you find while flying around. Super excited to see the (re)reveal.

Its confirmed to be their biggest e3 ever with 127 exclusive games, more exclusive games than ever before...376 world premiers and 1 exclusive xbox game.

Just in case if some people can't take a joke I'm a huge xbox fan and feel it's important to take the piss out of all companies.

In all seriousness, completely agree with you GHG. They need to smash this one. New console, a weak 6 months since launch. Their last showing was pure cg trailers.

This needs to be a big one.
 
What a hype deflating way to have your e3 announced like this. I'm sure it will be good but man, Jeff grubb is your go to guy to let that slip out ?

Yeah, I think a big problem with their shows is the pacing
 
I really think Microsoft needs to get control of their messaging and get this guy and his bullshit off his high horse, and that Aaron Greenberg guy. Jeff is claiming to be an 'outsider' with 'inside' information but he comes off as annoying, and Greenberg been wack his entire time trying to be a mouthpiece for them.

Sony has a problem with letting the blogs get ahold of their announcements and fucking up the messaging, and Microsoft has a problem with the 2 people I named not really being 'likeable' and fucking up the messaging. I can't stand how Nintendo is mostly silent, but atleast they seem to have a pretty good hand in their announcements

Do you think it will?

It doesn't because their shows are shit every year and people still buy the console. People are dug in on their boxes of choice now. A good show at E3 will not move the needle.

Say what? It's only after Sony started aping Microsofts high speed conferences that I could get through a Sony presser without getting bored out of my mind.

They used to shove graphs and sales numbers down our throats ffs
 
The two minutes of the event where they say what third party games they purchased to be day one on game pass this year, will be the most meaningful part for me as a gamer.

I think Sony's had a good approach to things this year and Nintendo have been very talkative in 2021.

I feel like I've learned mostly everything Sony has had to announce from third party sources over the past year+ with the exception of the black and red controller announcements. I'd like to hear it from them first as opposed to these slanted journalist looking to build a narrative. Thats my point with them

Sony and Microsoft got a leak problem
