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 1 year 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!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year 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 1 year 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] 4 points 1 year ago

"Starfield is the most important RPG ever!"

lol

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

Still no release date for fable

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

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

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

Did we know CS2 was gonna be on gamepass?

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

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

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

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year 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 1 year 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 1 year 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 1 year ago (1 children)

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

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

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Interesting title for the inxile game, Clockwork revolution

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

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

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

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

There’s Avowed. Dang next year

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year 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 1 year ago

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year 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] 1 points 1 year 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 1 year ago

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 1 year ago

Jussant(sp?) Looked cool as hell

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

CITIES SKYLINES 2

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year 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] 0 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year 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 1 year ago (1 children)

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

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

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year 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 1 year 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 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year 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.
