I just want to see gameplay, not another MK1 CGI trailer. Has been a while since we last saw Hellblade 2. Come on Xbox!
You don't want to see another Nordic metal music video of her tweaking the fuck out with her background dancers?

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.

True incompetence is comparing the development cycle (team size + support studios, budget size, etc) of The Last of Us 2 or, of all things, GTA6 to Hellblade 2 which is being made by a team (in their words) 'roughly twice the size' as the one that did Hellblade 1 (which would put it at 40 people).

Xbox Series dev kits became available in late 2019 (remember, Hellblade 2 isn't a cross-gen dev cycle)..this is while they were doing multiple VR projects and trying to get Bleeding Edge out the door.
Covid sent everyone home in spring 2020 for an entire year without any ability to do motion/performance capture (which is obviously a huge chunk of a cinematic game with all new assets).
They didnt get back together until June 2021 in their new facility; which is exactly when full production began.
Not to mention, they've been developing Project Mara in Tandem.

The ignorance of some of you people to assume these people are just sitting around 'getting mismanaged'..just look this shit up if you really want to know whats been happening.

I mean... this was a cool ass trailer. It's probably one of the best we've seen from Xbox since the Gears mad world trailer.
I will give you that, it was. Just tired of seeing her tweak out a musical number every trailer they've shown. They even pulled a repeat at a dev conference.

We should get full on gameplay this time, however. They have to outline the changes (built upon) of the mind numbing repetitiveness the first game was.

We got gameplay (sorta) in the last real showing of the game. Hopefully we get something similar to that with an actual HUD next week.

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

Go make a thread on /v/ about how Jez Corden said outlets are gonna give Starfield 7’s to undermine Xbox. Or a thread with a REDDRAGON tweet in the OP about how Xbox sucks. Your thread will get deleted and you’ll get banned guaranteed.

No way to know if the OPs got banned after i looked but that was the subject of many threads the day it came out. You’re being a bit delusional

Avowed is by far my most anticipated. Give me an Elder Scrolls game but with more exciting gameplay, more polish, and a more vibrant, interesting world. That is what I thought of when they showed that teaser trailer.

Who do you think will show the game first?


First reported by Nick Baker on the XboxERA Podcast, Metal Gear Solid 3 Remake will give the classic stealth action game a modern makeover, as part of Konami's push to return to AAA gaming. Metal Gear Solid 3 is widely regarded as one of the greatest games of all time and among the greatest Metal Gear Solid titles, penned by Hideo Kojima. Kojima no longer works with Konami following a high-profile breakup after Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain. Kojima has since founded a new studio and released the acclaimed adventure title Death Stranding, with an Xbox exclusive dubbed Overdose in the works. It's unknown exactly who is working on the Metal Gear Solid 3 revival, but we can independently confirm that the game will arrive on Xbox as well as PlayStation and PC.

After confirming that I'd heard similar rumors (that may also include a Castlevania revival), I mentioned on my Xbox Two Podcast a couple of weeks ago that Metal Gear Solid 3 might be multiplatform, despite some previous assumptions that it would be PlayStation exclusive. I wasn't 100% sure at the time, hence no report. Since then, Insider Gaming came out with a report stating that it would indeed be multiplatform, and I have since also hard-confirmed that the rumors I'd heard were true.

Reported list of games showing up (99.99% it's fake)

Couple of things that interest me:

  • Age of mythology: man I would really enjoy another war game like red alert
  • black myth: Wukong: I feel this game is a vaporware, I am not sure if it is not just a big ad to get inverters money
  • Banishers: No idea what this game is
  • Eiyuden: I remember this and I hope it come out soon.
  • whatever compulsion is working on and I hope it is not Gears 6
  • hope to see release date for STALKER
 
Seems like they could really win people over if they showed great gameplay of Starfield and Avowed alone. Maybe pepper in some badassery of Hellblade 2 or Outer Worlds 2.

If they were smart on this one they'd know to show a few quality gameplay trailers that show quality. Instead of cinematic trailers. I think that'd say a lot.
 
I know the list is likely fake but I would love a remake/remaster of Crimson Skies. I spent hours of my life playing the online modes and would gladly do it again.

Really hoping this is more than just updates on the games we've been waiting forever for. I will 100% be all over it when it's out but I'm tired of seeing Hellblade. We all know what Forza is we don't need to see it again (though it'll definitely be there). I don't care about what's new in SoT or ESO.

I wanna see Avowed and Fable. I do want to know what Evewild actually is. I want to see Wolfenstein 3, and all these rumored projects we keep hearing murmurs of from InXile and Compulsion and IO.

Fake as hell, you're telling me the won't invest in a new Banjo but will greenlight fucking Voodoo Vince 2? That'd be insane. I would be all over more As Dusk Falls though, MS should lock them down, amazing fit for Game Pass.

strange I always thought that KI2 was already out
Jokes aside, Killer Instinct, Dead Rising 3 and Forza 5 on Xbox One at launch was the last time Xbox felt like Xbox to me. I was in heaven back then in spite of all the negative press. Would love to see it make another comeback with Mick Gordon doing the soundtrack since he’s no longer working for Bethesda.

Fake list is fake though.

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
Y'all forget Phil is supposedly a huge Voodoo Vince nut, I can see this being something he personally approves.

But any list at this point is almost guaranteed fake.

In a world where Voodoo Vince remastered exists, I'm not sure I'd be surprised.
It’s possible, just seems unlikely. Maybe Xbox starts digging deep on dormant IP like Voodoo Vince and KI to throw their hardcore fans a bone, but I’ll believe it when I see it.

I fucking miss Titanfall

I was certain I owned it but I guess not, don't have the disc and you can't buy it anymore

Crimson Skies suggest that it's not fake because no one cares about Crimson Skies enough to even remember about its existence, at the same time there is no way that they are making Crimson Skies and this need to be fake.
Also Fallout mod turned into exclusive game is not something I would expect in either fake or real list.
 
No. It is not "human nature". The vast majority of the human civilization doesn't engage in such petty, pathetic, infantile crap. Only mental invalids do.
He's saying it's human nature to have preferences, or favourites and rooting for your favourites.

Y'all are acting like this guy is talking rocket science. He's making solid, valid points...but only if you take the entire conversation into account. If you pick and choose the points you want to form your arguments around, sure he's talking crap and you guys are right. Unfortunately though, the points many of you have focused on aren't the only or even the main point he's made.

Last year the show was fine, but nothing truly amazing. Finally show me something that is "next gen", show me why I bought XSX. I think Hellblade 2 will be that. I don't doubt Avowed will look great but Obsidian aren't known for state of the art visuals. This is assuming Avowed is there, but jesus, it really should be, it's way overdue. I mean them promising to show it and then....nothing for two years.

I felt last year had too much games that just don't fit in a showcase. You have one showcase a year, it should be big. I miss the E3s of the past where big third party titles would be revealed top, I'd love to see Alan Wake 2 there but it's likely at Sony or SGF. If its a Game Pass show again then it will undoubtedly have a good amount of smaller games too, which is fine, but a good balance is needed. And in that case I hope they managed to get some big things for the service too.

Last show didn't deliver the games it promised us. This show has to do that, otherwise no one will trust their future showcase.

Phil Spencer in the Xcast interview said we'd get updates on games announced in 2020, I expect Hellblade 2, Avowed, but I doubt we get SoD 3, Fable. Maybe it's finally time to see what Compulsion has been working on.

If we don't get Fable at this show it will probably be at the game awards at the end of the year, maybe they want extra time for a good showing? Meh
