Xbox Games Showcase | June 11th at 10AM PT | Official art and details
- Thread starter Vico
- Start date
Xbox has a really great opportunity to grab considerable mindshare with this. I hope they do! Ride the goodwill to Starfield.
Sony greenlit development for nearly a dozen GaaS titles, so that's pretty much their direction for the remainder of this gen, with some First and Third party single player games spinkled in between~
They are fully committed to the GaaS future now, lol
What's going on with this bump then?
Forza is confirmed out of the main show and having a live stream? Or is it probably that they are getting a full length demo in the show with a live stream later in the week?
EDIT: Just saw the other thread. I'm assuming we still get a full-on demo in the show. But, I'm glad to hear they are breaking down the campaign in a stream later in the week! Very welcome news.

They must be bringing the fire if they're already hyping it up. In stark contrast Sony literally said nothing.
It would be a fascinating role reversal if Xbox showed up with mostly single player 1st party stuff at this showcase.
Considering Xbox' current announced lineup it's not entirely unlikely that they'll do just that.

Roughly 2 hours long confirmamundo
Expectations are sky high and I aint tempering them!!!
2 hours is a lot of time for bangers. Hopefully S.T.A.L.K.E.R 2 gets a spot.

that's ummmm a lot of time ngl, I hope there is a lot of good shit to show and not filler stuff like updates for every live service game in existence.
Also that huge of a runtime and not showing Fable is well.....gonna be really fucking disappointing

I'm hopeful for a smaller scope for the upcoming showcase : fewer games, but longer trailers and gameplay segments for most.
This would be pretty dang close to the dream for me, without diving to deeply into like obvious out there predictions - like Dead Rising Remake or Fallout: New Vegas 2)

- Fable: The Hero Collection
- Seventh Chamber (Project Wu Tang)
- The Wandering Tower (Project Belfry)

Keeping the expectations in check.
All I want is another Hellblade 2 slice and I'll be happy. I'm assuming it'll be a Winter 2024 game so any improvement on that will be welcome.
Gears 6 horror teaser feels too soon considering The Coalition only just had their other project cancelled and the whole studio pushed back onto Gears. Will be happy with a tone and logo reveal.
That's it. That's all I'm hoping for.

Did Greenberg just hashtag something King David from ILP has been saying ever since the ABK EU approval? #HoldTheLine
There's even a crown emoji in there lol I'm dead
Edit: yes he did

Shit didnt see that lmao
King was having the time of his life in the IL stream for the Playstation showcase :D
A few things that I haven't seen mentioned that I'm interested in seeing is Cocoon and maybe an As Dusk Falls Season 2 announce. I have no idea if that is in dev and I wasn't enamored with As Dusk Falls, but I think there should be a place on a service like Game Pass for all sorts of games and I want Xbox to personally publish some of the more unique stuff.
Now we're cooking with gas.

Greenie just out here telling people that Xbox has been cooking.
The in engine stuff kinda means nothing to me so hopefully it's mostly actual gameplay.
The point is that everything shown from XGS is at least actually capable of being done in game I think
The next year we've been waiting for the past 5+ years may finally be upon us.
Lets fucking GOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
So far Greenie has said:
- No full CGI trailers. Only in-game, in-engine and in-engine with cinematics.
- Fuck tempering your expectations
- No movie trailer at showcase (lol)
- No "next 12-month" format
Greenie entering his hype building phase.

I think he was specifically talking about Starfield (EDIT: ope nah) but at the same time it's not like I ever temper my expectations for the shows. I can handle disappointment accordingly. 40 years of practice. lol
NOW we're cooking.
Last year's show was the weakest in a long time because of that silly stuff.

Oh completely unrelated but that timeslot is great. First event I'll be able to watch home in a long time.
Yeah... the whole discussion of "wait till next year" and "why does xbox have so many studios with so little to show?" seems like it comes down to next Sunday. Holy shit the hype is through the roof.
No CGI from XGS, all but guaranteed updates on previously announced Xbox games like Avowed, no 12 month limit, 2 hour run time, 30 mins of Todd and his leather jacket. We got one hell of a stew cooking.
Fuck me up, Microsoft. I'm ready to finally be given an outlook of new hotness coming out to get excited for.
All I want is for them to start paying off the promises that have been outstanding since as far back as 2019. That doesn't mean every game has to suddenly show up, but they need to project confidence and competence in these projects that people have been waiting to see more of for years.
I'm also hoping for longer looks at fewer first-party titles, instead of the usual blast furnace of wall-to-wall trailers for games that come and go so fast that they don't leave much of an impression in the moment. ~90 minutes of showcase (leaving out Starfield's thing) concerns me a little about how they plan to fill that time based on past experience, but to try and be optimistic could also just mean they have a lot of internal stuff to show.
Fable or PD would be nice, even if they're just trailers with in-game footage along with some words from the studio on how things are going and maybe a projected release year of "2024" or something at the end. HB2 I expect to be there. Avowed seems like it should finally be there, considering it sounded like it was supposed to be present LAST year. Maybe a couple of unexpected new things that have been in quiet development...? There's a lot of known and unknown projects out there tied to Microsoft, so hard to say what precisely could show up.
Motorsport sounds like it's getting it's own thing on the 13th, so perhaps we'll only see a trailer here. If we do, all I ask is that it's actual informative gameplay and not more random cuts of UI-less external car shots doing car things for ~2 minutes, followed by Chris Esaki or whoever saying random promo jibberish about physics fidelity based on PR math. I need meat and potatoes.
They have an opportunity to reset the conversation around their brand a little bit after the Redfall debacle with a good showing here. Time to show they've learned from all of the criticism.

My favorite conspiracy theory (that I made) is that the rumors of PlayStation's showcase being absolutely massive and "phase two of the PS5" lit a fire under Xbox's ass to make sure they had a lot to show especially after limiting last year's show and not showing up to TGA.
Maybe they just ran through a final draft of the show and he's pumped. Hope so.
