"Event" might be embellishing what's coming next just a little bit. But think it might be a nice appetizer.

Have their been any real rumors about Asobo or is it just speculation on this thread due to their relationship with Microsoft? The reason I ask is because I started A Plague Tale and I've really enjoyed it so far. I'm probably about a third of the way through the game. It's not without its flaws but I definitely think some of that comes down to budget. The environments look really good and the story has kept me engaged so far. I think they'd be a pretty great pickup for MS.
Thank you for your service but also wink once for new games wink twice for console UI and feature walk through
I don't need a big event. Just want to see want some games look like on next gen. Specifically Halo.
Appreciate the vague hype good sir...
I could see a Halo Infinite re-reveal, along with a Lockheart info drop leading into a larger, E3-like showcase in June.
My thoughts exactly. You could announce it friday and have it sunday. No one needs to travel and (hopefully) everyone is inside. Whole world is watching.
I'll never understand this. They aren't bombastic but won't ever complain about games getting added to my library through as subscription I'm already going to pay for. Oh well.
An appetizer is good, but with a glimpse of some games xD... we are hungry!
I could see it being a press release and videos plus drops from DF and other publications.
I'm assuming Shinobi is referring to the rumored event on the 29th or 30th as an 'appetizer' compared to the event in May.
Showing off next gen games along with XSS seems weird but I'll take anything at this point
On an aside, love the PC gaming culture coming through from non-Xbox execs at Microsoft.

It's just so weird to see when I hadn't really ever noticed anyone in MSOFT talk gaming earlier who didn't work @ Xbox. Cool to see!

I meant Series S hardware only hehe
Of course the games will be showcased on XSX, but maybe only in June..
Huh. I'd find it a little disappointing if it was just another press release or something on that scale. I'm not sure what I am expecting for these Xbox spring/summer events, but I was hoping for a well produced video with Phil introducing the announcements. I certainly hope they avoid the webcam look of the Stadia Connect today (and especially from the most recent Inside Xbox).

On the contrary, I can imagine it could actually work pretty well. Imagine they do a mini event where they show some amazing looking and crazy games (that have graphics not really possible this gen) and then after showing them off saying "oh, and these games are not even running on Series X, they are running on Xbox Series S." I have to imagine something like that would shut up all the naysayers and would also just be a pretty cool mic drop moment
There might be a lot to show of Halo so maybe we get a deep dive of sorts, beta announcement, behind the scenes and an introduction to Fable and what Playground are aiming to do with a studio behind the scenes as well. I would take two vidocs like that with some gameplay. Might be a decent format going forward, game reveal, behind the scenes, gameplay from all their studios who have something to show and a sort of big event with them and 3rd parties for the replacement E3 digital event were they can show the usual trailers, demo reels, hardware, price etc.
I wouldn't be surprised if Lockhart end up being called Series E.
Series X is a console made for gaming enthusiasts, who can clearly distinguish it from the One X. No Problems.
Lockhart will attract more casuals, that can easily confuse Series S and One S... unless MS discontinues One S too.
That last ugly-ass X360 model was called Xbox 360 E...So E is in the Xbox alphabet too :)

Yeah, let's hope so. 'Mdama went out like a chump after all that build-up.
IIRC, it was 10 songs a month. As a Zune Pass subscriber in the UK, I was always a bit miffed that that part of the sub never left North America :(
Ok, I'm ready, let's go.
I think we all already assumed the May "event" was gonna be smaller. The only question is what few games will they show there, and how much they'll show.
Completely agree.
Any other hints Shinobi? Should we expect the announcement or event very soon :/?
Just sucks not having a date lol.
Hmm, so you're telling me that in the 'Xbox Alphabet', we have:
An S
An E
And an X...
:thinkingemoji:
:D
Yea, I'd say the best way to reveal Series S is by showing what it's capable of.
Lol.
My wedding was suppose to be last month than COVID-19 postponed everything :'(.
If it's smaller than we're imagining, it could be a surprise drop.
I am assuming you don't know their plans but do you expect them to announce the date of the "appetizer" soon or right before the date?
If Phil Spencer honestly said that games are coming soon and then Xbox didn't show games in May then their messaging is bad.
Alright. With this info i expect hardware announcement that will be used for commercials. announcements of lockhart series.
will showcase 2 new games with next-gen profile. 1 or 2 current games with series x enhancements.
then the big show in june with a bunch of games, games games.
how close am i? lol
I was looking at the backwards compatibility page ( https://www.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-one/backward-compatibility/available-games ), and it says this:
Current list of titles with more to come. Games are subject to change.
Did it always say this and they haven't updated it?

Yeah if it's pro wrestlers trying the SX UI, I will write Phil an angry tweet.
I did not expect May even to be some big splash anyway. Hardware reveal, maybe some games. Hopefully they deiver that.
The poster used to post "Is it E3 yet?" once/day in the run up to E3 and has been previously warned by mods for spamming. Personally I think its lol but whatever.
More interesting were his posts regarding Uncle Phil! At least I think that was him.
