[Jigsaah]

Cool, hopefully we get some cool reveals. Doom please and thank you.

 

[DenchDeckard]

Gonna be hype!

Ill get the snacks in!

 

[KyoZz]

Fable gameplay + release date please.

 

[Punished Miku]

Gonna watch and chill on Sunday. MS carrying E3 on their backs like Atlas.

 

[adamsapple]

Fable gameplay + release date please.

ehhhhh too early for a release date, we might get a generic "Summer 2025" at best.

 

[SlimySnake]

Awesome. Showing off games in 1080p feeds on youtube is absolutely ridiculous because of how much compression artifacts are added especially in fast moving levels. 4k 60 fps should get us the best bitrate possible on youtube right now. Probably close to bluray quality.

I need to see Fable. I am not into Gears anymore. Doom and CoD, maybe. But I NEED to see Perfect Dark and Fable. They have the potential to be the most impressive.

 

[KyoZz]

I would be ok with this, but at least something showing it's alive. Reveal was 3 years ago, I think it's time we get a release date.

If we see a Forza Horizon trailer, expect that it means Fable isn't coming anytime soon.

I doubt it. Fable has enough visual flair and actors to show up at Game Awards. They have a lot this year even without it.

You mean aside from last year’s trailer?

 

[kikkis]

With my 10mbs connection, I guess I will just download trailers later.

I know and you both are right BUT CAN YOU PLEASE LET ME DREAM

 

[HeisenbergFX4]

Some are getting to play on a single map of the new COD directly after the show

 

[Darsxx82]

So the danger of The Showcase content being leaked before the 9th has grown by 200%....

 

[adamsapple]

[HeisenbergFX4]

[Robb]

Additional Deep Dives into Games Afterward

Do we know what?

I have zero interest in CoD. Not sure if it’ll be worth tuning in.

 

[Cornbread78]

More Forza.....

 

[Punished Miku]

Perfect Dark deep dive would be bananas.

 

[Cyberpunkd]

Can’t wait to see how many games I can play on PS5 soon.

 

[Cyberpunkd]

This what a gaming is in 2024? A single map of an annual FPS shooter? When was it again they wanted to compete with films and books?

No specifics, but the blurb says its gonna be for games shown at the event.

Likely things like interviews with Coalition devs in case a Gears is announced or similar material.

Are you ok? this is just a hands on thing for outlets half a year~ before the game actually comes out.

 

[UltimaKilo]

Fable is really the game I’m looking forward to. I hope Microsoft has something else compelling up their sleeves for this year.

 

[HeisenbergFX4]

It’s a single map that some are getting to play, likely the same map some pro athletes got to play not long ago and won’t be broadcast or anything like that. It’s just a little taste for a few people is all

 

[Mister Wolf]

Will be nice to see more Avowed and Indie.

 

[djjinx2]

I don't play much these days, but always enjoyed E3 hype. Xbox is carrying the flame now

 

[feynoob]

Same as last year people.

 

[MCplayer]

where are the leaks of the games list? Do your job hackers, hurry up, I dont have all day ffs

 

[Del_X]

ehhhhh too early for a release date, we might get a generic "Summer 2025" at best.

Reveal trailer in 2020 and a game engine thing in 2023.

Still no gameplay. Unimaginable how poorly managed your studio has to be to have no gameplay after four years of pre-production and development.

 

[AtomicStarving]

Forza Horizon 6 gotta be this year. I'm not sure tho... if the stars align as planned, Microsoft gaming is packed with games the next 6 months: Avowed, Indiana Jones, Flight Simulator, Starfield DLC, COD. But putting a racing game here can improve the variety. 2026 and beyond...

 

[adamsapple]

Reveal trailer in 2020 and a game engine thing in 2023.

The studio did put out a really well received game in the interim, it's not like they were doing nothing between then and now.

 

[Represent.]

Perfect Dark and Gears is all I wanna see.

We probably get neither.

Lmao at fucking Sony having nothing to show this summer, again. Pathetic.

Im officially an Xbox stan until Sony holds a proper showcase.

time for a sexy gears avatar

 

[Mr Moose]

Can't wait to see Nuketown for the 12th time.

Perfect Dark and Gears is all I wanna see.

We probably get neither.

It's Spring.

 

[HeisenbergFX4]

About Wednesday we will get the list

They can take their time with PD, they need to make it a tentpole release, they can dine good on a couple of sequels then too.

If it's average at best the Xbox becomes even more of a laughing stock (if that's possible)

Gears will be solid with amazing graphics as always. I hope to god it's a full reboot of it though

 

[adamsapple]

Perfect Dark and Gears is all I wanna see.

We probably get neither.

After everyone and their grandmas' talking up Gears at the show, if there's no Gears at the show, I'll be pretty disappointed.

 

[Punished Miku]

It's basically guaranteed as far as I'm concerned.

 

[mystech]

Literally all Microsoft has to do is give us something exclusive to look forward to in 2024. That’s it! Everything good Sony has (so far) is 2025. Nintendo won’t have anything exciting until 2025 either.

Give us Fable. Give us a good shadow drop. Prove to us that you still care about Xbox.

 

[Ristifer]

What are the chances Perfect Dark doesn't get shown in any way whatsoever? I'm preparing myself for disappointment.

 

[Punished Miku]

60/40 odds we see it. Personally, I think it's pretty likely but they haven't said anything specifically about it since about 1 year ago when Booty publicly said they're trying to get a showing ready for it in 2024.

 

[DenchDeckard]

It would be nice to have a real blockbuster show but it will probably just be fine.

 

[HerjansEagleFeeder]

4k 60 fps should get us the best bitrate possible on youtube right now. Probably close to bluray quality.

 

[TxKnight7]

Gears 6 and Doom is all i want to see!

 

[SEGAvangelist]

What are the chances Perfect Dark doesn't get shown in any way whatsoever? I'm preparing myself for disappointment.

I just hope they changed course from that Eco Sci-Fi crap. I don't want a game all about the dangers of global warming or some shit like that.

 

[Dutchy]

Everybody being excited for cod MP and SP when all I really want is a decent zombie mode Any chance we'll get to see at least a glimpse of that on the 9th?

[ChiefDada]

Their games may not run 60fps, but their marketing sure will.

 

[Dutchy]

Fucking yes that's good news.

Last good zombie game was BO3 imho. I really hope they go back to basics.

 

[Chukhopops]

Im ready for FH6 in Japan.

Switch off the soundtrack, use the Xbox headset to mix the car sounds with a playlist of 80s City J-Pop and Jazz.

Race through a map of mini-Japan going from island to island.

Absolute boomer dream.
