Man, I really just cant be bothered to give a shit about any trailer that doesnt have game play, which is about all of them

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It's crazy how they came out ahead of this bragging about how all of their trailers would be either gameplay or in-game, and it's all just cinematic shit anyways.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

When they announced that I had a feeling they meant mostly in-engine cinematics. Looks like that's exactly what we got

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

I agree as well. With Star Wars Outlaws, I was disappointed with how vague the trailer was regarding gameplay... but looks like they're revealing gameplay tomorrow, so looking forward to that!

"Starfield is the most important RPG ever!"

lol

Jussant(sp?) Looked cool as hell

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Still no release date for fable

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Thanks for making this! It's exactly what I was looking for!

I'm keeping my expectations low, but I hope to be surprised.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

You're welcome! I was surprised at a lack of an Xbox event thread. Cool to see MajorNelson even show up here for a comment.

Did we know CS2 was gonna be on gamepass?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

I was totally surprised by Persona 3: Reload announcement /s

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I'm already happy with what I've seen

FABLE, STAR WARS OUTLAWS, AVOWED??? All look great so far.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

That Fable showing got me more excited than I expected it to honestly.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

I loved the older Fable games so I was pleasantly surprised when I saw the full reveal yesterday!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Interesting title for the inxile game, Clockwork revolution

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Absolutely game of the event for me. I genuinely can't wait to see more.

Pretty disappointed overall. Couple of the smaller things looked cool. Don't feel like I even had very high hopes, but everything either was uninteresting to me or was cinematics only with no hint of how the game plays.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Wohoo! Direct thread is here! Let the hype begin! Even as PS user, I love Bethesda games. Have been hearing about Avowed a lot lately. I can always play these games on PC/laptop.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

I'm honestly glad both Sony and Microsoft keep pushing PC ports to Steam. My Deck's taking advantage of that.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Omg!! The new atlus game, Metaphor!! Can’t wait

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Thanks for this! Was thinking of making a thread for this. So excited!!!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

You're welcome! I was a bit surprised there was no thread yet at Beehaw.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

@TopHat Hello all! Glad you enjoyed the show (well...some of you did!)

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Thanks for posting here! Welcome to the federated message boards! :)

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

@TopHat Thanks for being my first fedeverse attempt AND success!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

I'm obviously really looking forward to seeing more on Starfield, but here are some other titles I'm hoping to hear about:

  • Fable
  • Avowed
  • Perfect Dark
  • Hellblade 2
  • Contraband

Update post-showcase: 3 outta 5 ain't bad

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

15 minute gameplay trailer of Fable would make my month. I'm hoping this will be great

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Yeah I think we may be a little too optimistic with Fable - it may still be too early. But we can still dream.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Games so far looking good! Just funny that with 95% of the games, it ends with saying play day one on game pass

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Glad to see there's so many interesting games coming to Game Pass. The Capcom game especially looks cool. Starfield looks great. A little disappointed there weren't any new hype-worthy game announcements though. But overall I'm feeling good about the future of Game Pass. (Even though most stuff they showed isn't coming out until 2024.)

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

CITIES SKYLINES 2

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

I'm really looked forward to Hellbade II, even though I never finished the original one (was NOT a fan of the combat bits, it felt like someone pausing a movie and refusing to unpause it until I did button mashing sequence). The atmosphere/vibes of the walking parts are so cool though.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

This is a much better Xbox event! They have in game or in engine footage to show for a lot of games being shown. No release dates for a lot of them is a bummer but there’s an improvement. Phantom liberty looked rad! I don’t have a good gaming laptop, wish had a pc for starfield

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

So many of the games shown today have this animated JRPG look to them. I wonder if that’s a trend we are going to see with these upcoming games. Kinda weird for me

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Everwild seems like a realistic thing to hope for that would be exciting. I assume we'll be seeing Forza. Silksong seems like it'd be here if anywhere during this not-E3, but not getting my hopes up for that. Really have zero interest in Starfield, so I hope they don't spend too much of the time focused on that.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Starfield's considered a separate show, being right after the Xbox Games Showcase.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

I'm assuming they'll still show it a bit during the xbox showcase and then show more in depth in the thing after, but maybe not.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

This is where MS has a chance to really make a splash and show what all of the developers they have been acquiring are working on. I hope it's successful, my Xbox has turned into a Rock Band 4 machine.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I used to be optimistic for Microsoft since Phil Spencer got the Game Pass ball rolling, but I'm doubtful we'll see a lot of concrete games. Especially with his recent speech that "even with games we won't sell more Xboxes than PlayStations" (not that I care about the "console war", but that's definitely not a confident man speaking). If it's a splash, it would've been bigger if the CMA and the FTC didn't start stopping Microsoft from acquiring Activision-Blizzard-King.

I'm still rooting for them, though! Sony got some banger games, Nintendo's "set for the year" with TOTK and their other smaller games, now it's Xbox' turn to swing.

Edit: My biggest hope currently is them finally announcing rolling out Game Pass Friends and Family globally very soon. That's my "day one" purchase with 4 friends for sure. Would love to stream those games to my Deck.
