Gotta have exclusives if you want to drive traffic to the OT.
Tom Warren/The Verge is saying that the Starfield DLC is coming september, so it should be shown off
So a big drop at the showcase. That'll make news for sure although I would have thought a steady trickle might have been a smarter play.
Reddit post points out the Activision Blizzard sale ends the day before the Showcase 🤔
I wonder if the design lab incentive is also a sign of the new controller being announced at the event?
In fact, the only thing they have finished... is the title.
DUN dun dun dun dun DUN DUN dun DUN dun dun dun dun dun dun DUUUUUUN!
What a fucking trailer, man. Still get chills watching it today.
I really want to play last year's campaign, but will hold out for Game Pass drop haha.

Yeah especially if they've got to have PC play anywhere versions.
It all looks so damn cool too...definitely grinding the BP for all that.
Would be smart to drop all Black Ops on june 9th, then over the summer and fall the rest by smaller batches.
For real. Where are my new, gyro, haptic controllers!!!
And can we get an Elite Series controller that actually matches my other Series controllers?!!!! Like what the hell. I'm not going to buy these outdated looking controllers, MS.
I think it is rumored to be a prequel. I doubt (or hope) it isn't live service.
Don't give me hope with a new Killer Instinct. And no Fable? Where is that game? It's my most anticipated game from Xbox.
I can't get over how insane Hellblade 2 looks. Like it blows my mind every fucking time I play it.
This week the DMA compliance reports from gatekeepers in the EU (Apple, Amazon, Alphabet or Microsoft) were published.
The ones from MS are very detailed.
The reports about Windows include some bits about gaming, specially the one about consumer profiling. According to MS, they create "Audience segments" by sorting people into groups of similar characteristics and interests.
MS lists a few examples of those "Audience Segments":
I thought that it was a funny way to categorise gamers.
The report also talks about using Game Pass ads and A/B tests to identify gamers.
PS: By the way, the CMA is likely opening a formal probe about the OpenAI - MS partnership. That could be fun.

You know that'll be next year, which is ok, because we'll get Avowed instead :)
Is Alters coming to gamepass? ik Jez played it and the game looks sooo good
I can't get over how every scene is framed. It's the most cinematic game I've ever played. It's remarkable what Ninja Theory has achieved.
Maybe. I feel they'll wait until after Avowed has released until they show it next, even though they've shown multiple games before. If it's at the showcase, I'll be happily surprised and if not, I'm fine with waiting, because we have Avowed.
Both TGA and DD would be after Avowed released! 😇
Obviously if we don't see it until next year, that's fine. Like you say, I'll be busy playing Avowed anyway. I'm just so desperate to get a glimpse of it (a glimpse is all I need until next showcase!).
GOAT-sidian.
Don't have a source but I'm 99.9% sure I saw that Alters is coming to Game Pass
Edit: Oops, I somehow didn't see that vixolus had already answered this
I think they'll definitely announce some things that may be further out, even if it's just a title screen drop like they did with Battletoads back in 2018. Maybe it'll be KI, maybe it won't, but it'll be something so I wouldn't rule it out entirely imo.
Visuals, sound, presentation, performance can be objective. You can compare that to every other game and see that a small studio created top quality and punched above their weight. I didn't like the Witcher 3 at all but I also wouldn't have said it is a 5/10 game. At the time they pushed the medium forward and I know for a lot of people they loved it.
…not really? You can measure things like resolution and frame rate objectively, but you can't objectively quantify things like art direction, sound design, music composition, and presentation.
"Objectively" remains the most misused word in review discourse on this website. A subjective value judgement being supported by evidence does not make it objectively true. All opinions in any sort of intelligent review should be supported by evidence. They're still subjective.
