[Mr Hyde]

Definitely think we will see Avowed as Spencer said he's played it recently. I'd only expect CGI trailers for new announcements, pretty high hopes as I believe we'll see a load of gameplay and a heavy emphasis on UE5.
Hype through the roof if we see Perfect Dark and announcements of new Banjo and Quake.

Awowed + PD + Banjo + Fable

 

[HeisenbergFX4]

Not a gamer if you're not looking forward to this lot.

 

[Riky]

Awowed + PD + Banjo + Fable

This show could be the start of another 360 like era!

 

[Topher]

Awowed + PD + Banjo + Fable

That would be massive.

 

[Ristifer]

Oh no. Not the Banjo rumours again...

 

[Pelta88]

Ok, when was the last show for Xbox that was basically CGI?

Since 2021, all there shows are basically gameplay trailers.

You know what CGI actually is, right?

 

[adamsapple]

Not a gamer if you're not looking forward to this lot.

Man I *really* want an Avowed blowout this year.

Hopefully Obsidian has been working on it along with Grounded over the last couple of years.

Outer Worlds 2 can wait, I don't think I need another sci-fi RPG for a while since Starfield is so close.

 

[Umbasaborne]

Can’t wait to see them announce shit that’s years away. Maybe we will get Forza in September time frame? I just have little faith left at this point.

Its hard to get excited when they are still radio fucking silent about games announced 3 and 4 years ago

 

[Topher]

My "want to see more" list:

1. Fable
2. Avowed
3. Perfect Dark
4. Indiana Jones
5. Everwild

 

[XXL]

I really want to see Avowed and Fable at this show.

 

[Varteras]

Not a gamer if you're not looking forward to this lot.

Avowed. Fable. Perfect Dark. The rest I couldn't care less about.

 

[ElCasual]

Imagine you are in high school, and you are in the locker room. Surrounded by the football team. You are part of the Baseball team, and you walk in there and somebody says "Why do you play Baseball? Baseball sucks. Football is the best."

and you reply "Baseball is more fun and I enjoy it more." And then the 20 Football bros laugh at you, then rough you up and shove you into a locker.

I am a blue rat but I respect all the Xbox fans.

 

[Vasto]

It's about time we see something from this game too.

 

[Fess]

My wish for this showcase besides Starfield which will get it’s own show:

Fable - uncut gameplay
Gears 6 or anything from Coalition using UE5
Something from id - Doom or new IP
Hellblade 2 - uncut gameplay
Ori - anything at all, just want to see that the IP is alive

 

[DenchDeckard]

Not a gamer if you're not looking forward to this lot.

If we saw 50 percent of this I'd be a complete mess....

 

[JohnnyFootball]

I feel sorry for those of you hoping for Fable. That game is likely a trainwreck.

 

[SEGA_2012]

Guys i want a ticket to the HYPE TRAIN, please.

 

[JohnnyFootball]

Not a gamer if you're not looking forward to this lot.

I'm always on the lookout for a future list of games that will be cancelled.

 

[Jboemios]

Not a gamer if you're not looking forward to this lot.

The only game that does not excite me is Everwild. I am tired of artsy pretentious games

 

[JohnnyFootball]

Your last line is the crux of the problem, numerous active posters here call anyone posting positively about xbox as shills, cult members yada yada.

Everyone should be thick skinned on the internet by default but it gets tiresome after a while seeing the same thing over and over in literally every topic about remotely anything related to xbox.

Xbox could put all of that to rest, but it's the same damn thing every year with them. Constant stories of mismanagement, delays and mediocre releases when the competition is literally doing the opposite.

Believe it or not, I want Xbox to be successful. I'd love nothing more than for them to have a steady flow of AAA games per year, but they should have been there by now and Phil Spencer should have had a plan in place for this instead of constantly going online and being a talking head.

 

[adamsapple]

It's about time we see something from this game too.

Too early. I don't think we start seeing this in full until DS2 comes out.

We totally believe you

Train is so Sony.

We need a space ship

 

[JohnnyFootball]

We totally believe you

I appreciate that.

Id love Quake but if there was, that would be at quake con? Unless its cgi trailer and gameplay for quake con. Who knows.

 

[Little Mac]

Fable
Perfect Dark
Everwild

Easily my top three. I'm not going to get hyped for Avowed or Contraband until I see some actual gameplay.

 

[staticshock]

Featuring : Hellblade 2 Senua's saga, a typical cinematic, 3rd person over the shoulder action adventure-game with "not that much gameplay®" that you love to shit on other platforms but that you'll now love 'cause it's on yours.
Only on Xbox®, coming 2024 - only 4 years after our most powerful console (in the world) launch.
....

On a serious note, I just stopped caring, this will be filled yet again with promises and... Starfield, it's all just so tiring at this point.
Show, don't tell, put the money where your green mouth is MS

This has some truth to it. I can't believe Hellblade 1 came out in 2017 which is 6 years ago and Hellblade 2 was announced in 2019. A 2024 release would mean that it took 7 years between release which is ridiculously crazy. Its not like they are developing GTA 6 or a 24 hours TLOUS2. Its a freaking linear story based game. 7 years? seriously? The level of incompentence is crazy.

Not really. The game is on UE5, number of third party games released on UE5 so far, none.

 

[DenchDeckard]

When does the hype train start boarding for this?

I want a first class ticket please 🎟

The Last Guardian took a lot more time. Sometime games have a difficult history. And Ninja Theory did Bleeding edge in 2020. I do not think that they have two teams, so they should have really began after that.

All I have wanted more than anything is a Fallout 3/New Vegas remaster. That's literally it. This is pathetically low hanging fruit that MS refuses to grab.

I would love for that to happen. I loved New Vegas. And the Fallout 3 intro vas pure genius. It is bound to happen one day as Xbox got the studio and the Fallout IP.

 

[staticshock]

Yeah but outside of the Coalition, they are the only studio with the biggest experience using Unreal Engine. They have partnered closely with Epic so many times and alot of UE character rendering tech and workflow has either been invented or accelerated by them.

But again the blame lies squarely on MS. They have all this resources and its up to them to rightly divide it up.

It'll probably one of the first AAA games to release on UE5.

 

[Dr. Claus]

Not a gamer if you're not looking forward to this lot.

Excited for Indiana Jones, but worried given the heavy handed, shit writing of the team's previous game and the god awful level design.
Wolfenstein III I would be more excited for if Wolfenstein II didn't suck.
Fable is years away and in dev hell.
Forza Motorsport has shown me nothing that makes me excited. Just looks like more Forza.
Gears 6 is meh given the mediocrity of 4 and 5.
Everwild is in dev hell and we know literally nothing about it.

We have no idea of Perfect Dark, its quality, or even what it will look like in-game. Given the last Perfect Dark game was a steaming pile, I can't say I have much hope.

ESVI I am very excited for, but that shit isn't coming until 2028 at the earliest. Bethesda has already stated they won't even start full dev until Starfield is out the door.
State of Decay 3 is meh. Wasn't a huge fan of the first two games. Glad for those who are excited for it though.

Senua's Saga is meh. The first game had a neat little premise, but its gameplay left a lot to be desired and had zero replayability.

Contraband we know literally nothing about.

Outer Worlds 2 is zero excitement given how fucking terrible the first game was aside from its art direction.


THen again, RIky is the king of Xbox Warriors on the site now that Senjutsu is gone. Not surprised by the "you are not a gamer" trash.

 

[Riky]

Id love Quake but if there was, that would be at quake con? Unless its cgi trailer and gameplay for quake con. Who knows.

Could be an announcement then a full reveal at Quakecon, is that August?

 

[Calverz]

Think so

 

[quest]

I feel sorry for those of you hoping for Fable. That game is likely a trainwreck.

Yes because playground studios releases trainwrecks . We won't see it until it is polished and months out from release just like FH5 and their other games. I find it funny people want to try and taint a game from a studio who has never failed to deliver quality.

 

[reksveks]

Could be an announcement then a full reveal at Quakecon, is that August?

august 10-13; just remembered that Starfield will be there according to the seating plans.

 

[gothmog]

It seems like an easy slam dunk for them to have a good show if they stay grounded in games guaranteed to be ready to launch in the next 12 months. Break the cycle of constant apologies and promises that next year will be better.

 

[JohnnyFootball]

I look forward to seeing what they can do. I am curious how a studio known for doing racing games (which they do quite well) will tackle an RPG

 

[Varteras]

If we saw 50 percent of this I'd be a complete mess....

If I saw 50% of you I'd be a mess too

I mean, I get where you're coming from, but... Arkane didn't really miss either. Until they just did. Badly. Doesn't help there have been rumors of development troubles and a number of high profile departures mid development.

Already done.

Naaah,Honestly this 12 months thing just limits the potential of the showcase tbh, doubt anyone would be mad if they showed Fable gameplay even if is a 2025 game for exemple.

 

[LordCBH]

My "want to see more" list:

1. Fable
2. Avowed
3. Perfect Dark
4. Indiana Jones
5. Everwild

Almost identical to me, but I have no desire for Everwild. I don’t really know why, but SoT has really put me off being excited for anything Rare, and SoT is fucking great.

 

[Riky]

Naaah,Honestly this 12 months thing just limits the potential of the showcase tbh, doubt anyone would be mad if they showed Fable gameplay even if is a 2025 game for exemple.

Also Spencer said new games will be announced and it would be very surprising if they were releasing in the next 12 months.

[doomdizz]

neogaf has become less of a place to discuss videogames and more of an extension of console wars twitter. you can tell by the amount of people directly linking to engagement farming console wars twitter accounts to support their arguments. even 4chan /v/ has become a better place to actually discuss games without constant console warrior drivel.

Well thats a god damn lie and you know it lol. You cannot discuss sony games on /v/ without over half the thread being exactly what you describe. The other threads are also filled with warrior nonsense but a bit more tame. You’re being overly dramatic to make a bad point

 

[XesqueVara]

Hellblade 2 will get a release date here, NT is already hiring to work on their next IP and don't makes sense to show the game for a Third Time in the TGA, pretty sure it's locked.

 

[Vognerful]

Bro that discussion is over. Move on please.

 

[Ev1L AuRoN]

I just want to see gameplay, not another MK1 CGI trailer. Has been a while since we last saw Hellblade 2. Come on Xbox!
