Grubb: Xbox Showcase (+Cod Direct) 2hrs Long - Featuring 30 Games - Handful Never Heard/Seen Before
- Thread starter adamsapple

They had some stinkers in the Xbox one generation when it became painfully obvious how limited their first party lineup was with just 5 studios.
One particular one had them bring up some folks to do a play by play commentary of some no-name live service game. Awful.

Oh yeah, 100% 2013 was a trainwreck. I should have put in recent memory.

Only game I am interested in is Indiana Jones. Honestly the first reveal captured the Indiana jones vibes better than the last 2 movies.
But yeah we had 4 good indiana Jones things at least. The first 3 movies and Fate of Atlantis.

Can't wait, Sunday evening is reserved for Xbox.
and yet people buy their act every single time as if there's all these "great new games" on the horizon, people forget what happens every 9 months afterwards .. or is it just bots, paid shills/influencers, bad faith marketing, and false hype?
MORE BACKWARDS COMPATIBLE GAMES
(ignore the last line about DA remake, that was already clarified by Schreier as just a title change for Dreadwolf)
@intbal
famous voice actors present! can't miss that.

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
Probably Troy Baker since he's voicing Indy.
I mean.... what's the harm in people looking forward to a showcase? Xbox's thing is the closest to the E3 of old we have, Sony did a disappointing SoP only, Nintendo is AWOL and Keighley already said don't expect big new things at his show.

How dare they make games! Consoles are there to admire but not touch, give us less games Phil, less is more right?

Going to be honest, these Xbox shows have became sorta of pointless. It doesn't matter what they show, how good it is, nothing will change. Xbox will remain pretty much irrevelant as a platform. Honestly it seems the better their showing, the worst they do afterwards at retail. I'm really only watching to see what goes to PS5 and looking forward to the Twitter meltdowns that occur

Good grief!I see we've reached the Peanuts stage of pre-Xbox show hype again.

Wanna know status of next Starfield update. Hopefully its a big one along with expansion.

Keighley posted an image of the Xbox dash with a tile that said Starfield Add-on's out now, so maybe it drops during the show.

Shadow dropping an expansion would be … weird.
But there are some rumours of shadowdrops so maybe.

Licensing is a bitch and will probably stop from those : (
quantity over quality i guess. i'm more of a couple microbrews guy than a 30 pack of natural light.

I´ve not entirely given up on the Fable franchise yet, despite the godawful trailer last year. So maybe .....

The games will run on the platform. Many will launch on GamePass, Day 1. That’s very relevant for me.
This concern seems like a single console owner thing. Some of us don’t have that constraint. I’ll let you worry about console hardware marketshare while I focus on games I can play

Why do you care about the market so much? Are you an investor? I just play games that I enjoy, and judge them based on the level of enjoyment. I really do not care about what the "market" says about a game I like or do not like. And I will invest my money elsewhere. Gaming is to volatile, IMO.

Just lay off internet for a week.
It will seem much calmer and better, with tons of games to play.

Not that I have seen. I’d personally like to see the D4 expansion just for the new class reveal…hoping it’s not the Tidal Priest or whatever the name of the new class from Diablo immortal is.

I have already dialed it back. Almost everything I post here and elsewhere that has to do with gaming is for fun and rarely serious. I noticed it was becoming less fun with the constant “the sky is falling” messaging the gaming media seems to be pushing. A lot of people seem to be buying in even though we see some indication that some console sales are strong and PC gaming seems to be growing again.

Tons of people care where the market is headed, I'm just one of the few who's able to observe the market without personal preferences getting in the way. When you do that, it becomes much less volatile and much more predictable.

I own a XSX, so thats not it. I just think at this point I'm wasting money and time using it since the Xbox platform seems doomed.The games will run on the platform. Many will launch on GamePass, Day 1. That’s very relevant for me.

Maybe they announce some PlayStation 5 exclusives
This is where they announce Lego Horizon

I didnt meant cycle of hype and failure for the presentation ... is for xbox.
Their shows are always good .. what comes after is the disaster
people are buying because they're hopelessly addicted to dopamine hits from lousy entertainment and the only other options are porn, sports and social media. the doom & gloom i haven't noticed personally from media although i can say from my own perspective, the whole woke games push and DEI initiatives have probably harmed gaming more than helped it, because the focus is less on game mechanics and more on politics, it ends up with games that just aren't really that fun to play.

Yeah.
It was a passion project by people who couldn't handle the engine, at the time. Hideki Kamiya has talked about it.
And maybe if they tried again (Which they have showed interest in doing), or worked with a new engine, it could work.
I loved what I saw. Even though it was Pre-Alpha footage.
I can totally understand that. I did cringe at points. But not enough to not want to play it.
I love Platinum too.
And no.
This is my kink
I just liked the idea of fighting alongside a dragon. And the possibility of having a "mirror match" type of thing, where I could fight a boss, that also fights with a dragon.
The "human" combat indeed looked rough, that is absolutely true.
I know, it's all good.
I liked what I saw, I have loved everything Kamiya was a director on (Bayonetta 1 is my favorite game), and I have faith in Platinum Games.
That's all.

I hope we get to see more Fable. The visuals we've seen so far are amazing, but I'd like to see more of the world.

I can see Hellblade Duology coming to PS5, along with Halo 1 and or Microsoft Flight Sim

Dang talk about a tough crowd. 30 games and several we've never heard would only get the conference an 8/10. The xbox shows always show games, regardless of exclusivity. And still some walk away all upset. There's just no pleasing some people.

They're not gonna announce that at the showcase, if true.

I don't think we see Blade.
I would be surprised if we see more OD before Death Stranding 2 comes out.

GerAlt-Right. Ciriously.
Every year they haven't announced a Fallout 3 remaster has been a fail for me.
Their shows are pretty good, but the games NEVER live up to the hype. Starfield being mid did them no favors. Like literally NEVER. How anyone can believe THIS TIME will be different is foolish.
They always remind me that they NEVER live up to the hype.
Having said that, the bar is rather low considering Sony put a lot of eggs in the Concord shitshow and gave a rather mediocre State of Play.
