Ten hours from now, right? Can't wait. SGF was awesome and I hope MS will show great things.

Did i miss something and we have already sunday?

 

[Varteras]

[Nickolaidas]

Did i miss something and we have already sunday?

A friend on discord told me it was today. I told him I thought it was Sunday, but he said no.

 

[THE DUCK]

A friend on discord told me it was today. I told him I thought it was Sunday, but he said no.

There's a lesson here. Never trust a friend on discord.

 

[SuperSaiyanWithDreads]

I find it funny.

It's like a last desperate cling to denial.

Omg im dying you're right it's hilarious

 

[jhjfss]

No chance they spend even 1/5 of the time on that.

5 minutes will be pushing it. Expect a deep dive like that later, or maybe on the second show.

I bet it will be more than 5 mins.

 

[kyussman]

I would like to see just one game that makes me feel like next gen is actually here in a big way......so far it's all been very underwhelming to me.

 

[ProgenitorCastle]

Gimme The Evil Within 3!

 

[Danjin44]

Gimme The Evil Within 3!

If we do get that, we will have The Callisto Protocol, RE4Remake, Dead Space Remake and Evil Within 3, we will be truly in 3rd person survival horror game haven.

 

[TheGodfather07]

You seem like the guy who'd rather a girl who brags about what a bad bitch she is online and doesnt do shit rather than one who simply stays off social media and takes care of shit.

So you would rather state of plays instead of big shows like sony used to do during ps4 era. Why? Imagine if sony had a 90 minute show on Monday after Microsoft. That would be hype.

 

[Connificent]

 

[reksveks]

Expecting like 10 minutes in Starfield otherwise the pacing will really struggle

 

[yazenov]

95 min. Wow. Gonna be loaded with content then. I believe

I hope its gameplay content and not CGI content.

Who I am kiddy, its probably going to the the latter.

 

[Shubh_C63]

MS is the only conference having a chance of being actually good.
Saving grace of "e3" presentations this year surely.

 

[Kiraly]

I hope its gameplay content and not CGI content.

Who I am kiddy, its probably going to the the latter.

And we all know you're such a huge fan of Xbox that you would be concerned about this.

 

[Caio]

Can't wait.

 

[Nickolaidas]

If we do get that, we will have The Callisto Protocol, RE4Remake, Dead Space Remake and Evil Within 3, we will be truly in 3rd person survival horror game haven.

Silent Hill: ... Can I come in?

 

[yazenov]

And we all know you're such a huge fan of Xbox that you would be concerned about this.

Its MS's job to sell me on their content and make me a fan. So far, they have failed miserably. I want to convinced.

 

[DangerDiabolik]

If Xbox has all of this (as a surprise not leaked) is it Sony 2015 year of dreams?

It wouldn't be hard to overtake it, Sony's "E3 of dreams" doesn't even hold up. If showcases are judged badly for having CGI trailers and announcements for games that are years away, Sony's 2015 conference isn't anywhere near a top-tier event.

 

[Loope]

I mean most of that list is 3rd party titles we already know about, dropping them into gamepass doesn't make them more exciting.

Microsoft gotta put out some new games that get people excited. Starfield has the best shot of being exciting

True, to me it is Avowed, but for the general public i think Starfield will be their sure thing (assuming it has the impact of Skyrim reveal for example)

 

[Lognor]

I hope its gameplay content and not CGI content.

Who I am kiddy, its probably going to the the latter.

Why not both? You're in for a real treat!

 

[Freeman76]

This'll be great

 

[SoraNoKuni]

It's probably going to be a good conference, actually I hope so.

 

[Topher]

Mattyp I hope you are right

 

[FunkMiller]

I think this genuinely stands a chance of being Xbox's best conference ever.

Not for 2022 of course. This year is a fucking wasteland.

But for 2023/24, they could really come up with some very strong announcements tomorrow.

 

[NeonGhost]

Soooo Microsoft is gonna carry this Summer Game Fest like last year isn't it? Time for my prediction:

The "most likely/sure to be there" stuff:
Forza Expansion 1
Starfield
Halo coop + multi update
Hellblade II
S.T.A.L.K.E.R. II
Forza 8
COD MW II multiplayer reveal & Warzone 2
Redfall
Wolfenstein 3
New IP by ZeniMax
Scorn

The "probably not there, buuut you never know":
State of Decay 3
Avowed
Gears 6
Diablo IV?
Fable (and I'm really sad, but I don't think the game is ready for the reveal)
Contraband
Killer Instinct 2

Not there:
Quake
Indiana Jones
The Outer Worlds 2
TES VI

Sony still has the rights to all the market promotion for call of duty this will not be at the show

 

[Zannegan]

95 minutes seems great, not sure why anyone would say negative things about a long show.

It really depends what's in there. 95 minutes with with little to show for it would be something to complain about, but that's after the fact. Complaining before the show doesn't make sense.

 

[NeonGhost]

Gimme The Evil Within 3!

I will buy you 3 months of game pass ultimate if it shows up and I hope it does

 

[Ulysses 31]

New S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 trailer!

 

[killatopak]

Probably a long shot but I would cream my pants if we get Lost Odyssey 2.

I'd settle for a remaster or remake as well.

 

[Vognerful]

I hope its gameplay content and not CGI content.

Who I am kiddy, its probably going to the the latter.

 

[ShaikhCroft]

New S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 trailer!

Not expecting since the development was paused for a long time!

 

[ZehDon]

The same thing was said last year: 2022 - that's when it all comes together. And then everything got delayed, and Xbox is looking down the barrel of releasing nothing in 2022.

If Microsoft want to score a homerun with this conference, they need to deliver something decent for 2022. I hope they've got an ace up their sleeve - they've certainly got enough studios to surprise us. If they deliver on the announcements but there's nothing to actually play this year, it'll be a good show, but it won't be an unmitigated success. It'll be another "wait for next year" show. And I gotta be honest: I'm tired of waiting.

2022 is a dumpster fire for every single console. I don't think it'd be entirely fair to judge MS on how things are going for them, if they don't produce loads of games for the rest of this year. Nobody is doing that. Covid fucked it.

Though, if they can pull something huge out anyway, that'd certainly be a good thing.

 

[CatLady]

All the people begging for gameplay, will be crying boring in the 1st 3 minutes.

You see it every year with the Cod gameplay reveal or the Ubisoft demos.

Ppl say they want raw gameplay, but when they get it they whine its too slow.

That's why I never whine about not showing gameplay. CoD is a perfect example - it's so boring after a few minutes.

 

[MidGenRefresh]

I always liked the way Horizon Zero Dawn was introduced. Developer showing on stage - check. Few words, no bullshit - check. All in game/engine - check. Mystery/intrigue - check. A perfect mix of in-game cinematics and gameplay - check.

This is how every game should be announced:

 

[Iced Arcade]

I just hope we don't have to listen to a lot of influencer hosts with gamepass shirts on

 

[LordCBH]

Just wanna see Avowed. Anything else is bonus.

 

[Thirty7ven]

Fun times, been like a year since we had "best conference ever" hyped up so let's go, again.

That trailer is what finally got me to try PlayStation last gen. Overall I was pretty underwhelmed by the highly acclaimed games I heard about for so long. I'm sure they are great games for Sony fans, they just aren't the type of games for me. Different taste and all that, although I did think TLoU-R was decent.

It was Horizon Zero Dawn that made getting a PS4 worthwhile. It lived up to the trailer and became one of my favorite games last gen. The most recent Hellblade 2 trailer feels kind of similar to the one for HZD.

 

[PhaseJump]

Will Major Nelson be there?

Will he be wearing gloves and showcasing a new paint job for a controller I don't need?

 

[Lognor]

Fun times, been like a year since we had "best conference ever" hyped up so let's go, again.

Hey, it feels good to at least have that option. There is a conference, so there is a chance it'll be the best conference ever!

 

[El Pistolero]

It's probably going to be a good conference, actually I hope so.

With all the proven teams under their belt? Of course it will be. In fact, they will lead the charge first party wise from 2023 onwards, with Sony in "catch-up" mode over the years. This is not a knock against the Playstation...It is my favourite videogames entity, by a distance, but the facts do not lie...MS has 32 or 33 studios with the addition of AB, most of which with a great track record; The PS can not compete on this front with its 17 internal studios. Sony has to double-down on quality and start adding teams regularly if they do not want to get squashed before the generation is over. That being said, Sony, with its japanese DNA, is very, very conservative with its spending, so I do not expect them to become as agressive as needed.

completely agree with that, I aint a fan of god of war at all. game looks amazing it just didn't vibe with me.

 

[MightySquirrel]

Best reveal and date announcement we've all witnessed yet:




Cross fingers we get something similar for Starfield on Sunday.

 

[Three]

That's A LOT of Starfield concept art.

We will finally see somebody walking through the doors.

 

[kanjobazooie]

Make sure you all thank Papa Geoff for the show tomorrow.

 

[adamsapple]

Mattyp I hope you are right

If Avowed comes out this year, MS will be forgiven for delaying Starfield and Redfall completely.

 

[CatLady]

No doubt, but unfortunately I don't think that's going to happen.
