just release a good game and dont delay it. i am still waiting es6
 
Forza Horizon 6 to be awesome and that they don't listen too hard to the people wanting to have to drive a Ford Focus for an hour before you can upgrade to a Golf GTI.
 
Acquisition announcement for the entire SIE catalog and its inclusion in Game Pass


Make It So Star Trek GIF



Or just a bunch of nice games, either works.
 
they will probably tease Helix in some way, maybe just clarifying if it can play PC games or not... as that seems to be in flux at the moment

I would guess you're right that they tease Helix, but I think they stay cagey on the third party stores at least for now. Saying no to Steam (and EGS) definitively will surely kill momentum.
 
My hope is Fable is confirmed this year as there are some rumours about a delay. Other than that a Halo CE release date, more on Clockwork Revolution and obviously we have the big blowout of Gears which if nothing else will set a new graphics benchmark until GTA comes out.
 
Teaser of Elsewhere Entertainment game.

Teaser of Obsidian's next big project being Shadowrun.

Announcement of Embracer Group buy out.

Announcement that MS is funding and publishing next game by Sandfall Interactive.

ES 6 never had a release date and judging by Tod Howard's ego mania, it is not going to be good.

It's also going to be sold as an Expansion to TES5 so they don't have to include it on Gamepass.
 
Got my fingers crossed for a Helix promo that features some indistinct shapes and a logo. And then Asha pops up and says "all the games come from the Xbox store, not Steam. Just like Mr Reasonable Mr Reasonable said."
 
As a bethesda/elder scrolls fanatic(back from og xbox/morrowind days) my only hope is we get to see proper gameplay trailer of ES6, it was long enough, ffs crimson desert showed there is humongous audience for games that even have 20-30% of potential ES6 entry, 30 to 50m sold copies(20m+ launchwidow fullprice sales) is on the table here 🫡

That quick teaser from e3 2018 has 20,5m views, with 428k likes/11k dislikes ratio so u can tell we are starved af here :messenger_loudly_crying:
 
In your eyes Marathon is brilliant, id suggest changing your eyes 😂
Any Xbox games you'd score over a 7 in recent memory?

A couple of the Horizon games is all I can think of.

Marathon is an 8.5 btw. What's amazing you have the ability to judge something you don't play, but lets not derail yet another thread.

This will be nothing other than a massive disappointment. BSG just don't have the chop's to make an all timer these days unfortunately.

Avowed, Outer Worlds 2, Grounded, all 8's. Starfield also an 8. Doom TDA and Indiana Jones are 9. Ninja Gaiden 4 is 8.5. Horizon 6 will be 9.5. Age of Mythology Retold and expansion are 8.5.

Marathon is definitely 8.5, could've been a 9 if allowed to prosper or if it was a single player component too.

Opinions and all that eh? Like I said, in my eyes (the ones that i have played) are a 7. I have not played NG nor Age, yet.

Starfield while enjoyable has way too many flaws and a terrible main quest to be anything more than a 7, when I played at launch.

Doom was decent but bare bones, 2018 was better. Indy looks nice but plays like a dog.

The hope is that they realize it is not 2006 anymore and they stop with the mentality they have to try to hype some fanatics online at all costs with cgi or fake trailers of games so early in development and without a clear direction that will end up being cancelled along the way.

I suspect they are self-aware that their stance is subject to change depending on how hopeful vs. desperate they feel at that moment, so they will keep it intentionally vague and murky.

Ninja Gaiden 4 is a 10/10 so far.

Halfway through it.

Didn't finish it at launch. Wrong mindset to play a game like that at launch. With hype, expectations etc.

Come to think of it, I even finished Doom TDA at launch. Should've waited a bit.

————

Why its 10?

Am in the zone. Like how people describe Sekiro. (Haven't played it).

Just demolished a major boss in second attempt. Parry is coming naturally, based on sound effects and visual cues. Its just working.

I'll get round to it at some point. I just picked it up on sale yesterday for £35 so it's on the list.

Doom was nice while it lasted but was stupidly priced for what it was.

Definitely go for it.

Its easy for a first few chapters. That make it feel like a good but unremarkable game. Close to a pivotal moment it gets into a major difficulty spike. Thats when it clicks.

He's been like that since tes3, c'mon man.

After seeing what happened to Star Field I'm confident in saying that ES6 is gonna be just as cooked as that.

As for the rest of the upcoming meh, Maybe it's my age but 360 really was peak.
 
I only care about fable so it's probably gonna be a shit event for me.

Halo campaign remaster could be interesting if they dont fuck up and i'm only interested in next gears of they overhaul the gameplay that was already stale and rotten many years ago.

Let's see if they can manage to do worse events than sony...

A teaser for a new Age of Empires game would be nice. I am still worried about their (rumored) pivot to Unreal Engine, but oh well.
