Bunch of additional friends on the party bus!

Almost at the pearly gates with St. Todd of the Howard as our welcoming committee.

TES VI is probably nothing more than that generic fantasy asset trailer they showed a couple of years back lol

-----------




The party bus is starting to get a bit crowded, we might need to look for alternate accommodation soon.

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
I'm back to save the day. Throw that bus in the trash, it's time for the hype shelf.

I am down for the night but if you wanna take the last party bus image and crop the party goers onto Phil's rocket, please by all means go ahead!

Bookmark this tweet for starters. This guy claimed it's a guess but I was told he nailed the list of games that we will see there.

There's also more 1st party content that will be shown at the showcase. More than what's listed in that tweet. I'll see if I can say the number just before the showcase.

Well he's already wrong about the timing, since he counts Starfield within the first 90 minutes.

If true then this is lining up to be a monster showcase.

Not to be a downer but just showing games is not an achievement, the games HAVE to impress. You shouldnt get an award just for showing up.

We just had a conference where literally 30 games were shown and not a single game was impressive or next gen in anyway.

I have a feeling you aren't going to be impressed by anything Microsoft shows... and continue to not be impressed by games through the rest of this generation haha

Yeah if Avowed looks as impressive as Crackdown 3 did it won't have any impact. The footage needs to sizzle.

lol touche.

That said, I am honestly blown away by Zelda's systems right now, and I was just talking about how star wars had that one incredible setpiece in the other thread. I still have the capacity to be impressed. lol. The devs just need to showcase this stuff better. More gameplay trailers focused on gameplay systems than CG trailers that look so similar they honestly blend in. I honestly couldnt tell you the difference between Bungie's Marathon, Jade Raymond's Gaas Game about billionares, and Firewalks GaaS game. Literally identical.

P.S Starfield impressed the shit out of me last year. I still post some of the gifs i cut from that trailer. We need more gameplay deep dives like that for both Fable and Avowed. Perfect Dark i will take a trailer since its just an action adventure story driven game, but i need to see gameplay systems in action for Fable, Avowed and other RPGs.

I don't really have high hopes for avowed... i'm thinking it will be a fairly small passion project rather than a big AAA rpg some people are expecting.
It's an Obsidian RPG so it doesn't need to be an industry leading graphical showcase. Just need it to look good. What's most important is how it plays and what the systems are. That's what will ultimately make or break it. We shall see.

Will this showcase finally be the beginning of the end of the 'wait until next year' meme?

It fucking better be!

Xbox... it's time.
