Aaron Greenberg: No business or hardware news at Xbox Games Showcase. All games, ~1 hour long.
- Thread starter digitalrelic
- Start date
From what I know, it's going to be mostly the same. Didn't Tom Warren say something akin to that?
Of course the OS and especially the guide is being steadily updated even now, so true it won't be exactly like the console today.
That's a good point, actually. Though I think people will be surprised by The Medium and Scorn, in terms of the number of AAAs they'll contain. Imn terms of indie exclusives (timed or otherwise) MS have opted for games more to my taste this time than Sony, with those two, and The Ascent.
User banned (1 week): Platform wars. History of similar behavior.
Well if they have a good halo infinite demo, and one other mediocre/far too early gameplay demo they'll have matched Sony so yes I think it's safe to assume.
Just games never gets old, I mean it's the reason we buy consoles I'm perfectly fine with them showing just games.
"Xbox Games Showcase" should have given you an idea about the focus. August is platform and services and has been for a while (delayed out of June)
I would be surprised if we don't get gameplay for Halo Infinite, Psychonauts 2, Forza, and more. Hell, I could see them showing off gameplay for games like Everwild as well.
Man I can't wait for the inevitable live stream of Sony and MS, together, vowing to say their console prices at the same time and neither one being able to do it.
Them both being all shy and coy and giggling
...and then they fuck, I guess?
Also say something about Fable. Don't care if it's a scribbled note in the background that's spelled incorrectly. Just do it!

Honestly am ready for a 2-hour presentation that focuses on games, services, hardware, and launch details, but I didn't expect that out of this, so I'm good with games. Gimme Halooooo.
Expected a longer show than just one hour though, given the amount MS has to show.

Good to know ahead of time there'll be no Lockheart/date/price info.
1 hour is good, assuming we don't lose 15-20 mins to one gameplay demo.

How can you pre order when there is no price. So , no the price will be revealed weeks before launch
I thought media was first and games was second. I was hoping to see some apps and tv first.
Was hoping for a Series S reveal, curious to see what that's going to be and how they're gonna message it.
I guess that'll be in August, but a tease would be cool.

they have a lot of already announced games (Halo, Everwild and Hellbalde), those will likely show gameplay
I'm really ready for a new Forza this year. Will take Motorsport or Horizon.
Other than that, it's all about Halo for me. If we come out of this thing with a solid understanding of what Halo Infinite is and looks like, a new Forza and at least one other cool looking surprise then I'm good.

Hopefully a permanent change. That Inside Xbox showcase was some of the weakest shit I've seen in a while.
There is nothing wrong showing both gameplay and trailers. And you're already setting yourself up for disappointment if you think it will all be gameplay. I'm sure Forza, Halo will be gameplay related-focused, but they probably have something like Fable which will be a nice story trailer for the future similar to Horizon.
We know a few things:
1.) They recently pushed out a new design on Xbox One, and are still tweaking/changing things via insider/preview builds. (I think this is what you were suggesting in a previous post)
2.) We know Series X will have new features, such as multi-game suspend and resume
3.) We know the Store is getting rebuilt, and will have a brand new UI
Hopefully their generally-underwhelming 3rd party show plus Sony knocking it out of the park with their last show taught them something.
Good to know as well, I don't have to stay up to watch it if no hardware/price announcements. :)
Me too if we were looking at 90 mins or 2 hours.
Just feel like if an hour becomes 40-45 mins due to one game then it's either going to feel very rushed or very light on content.
"Just games is bullshit. this is getting old" says a video game fan on a video game forum commenting on a video game showcase anticipating a new gen of video games lol.
Oh yeah, the store is going to be a big change.
I think the guide will stay mostly the same. And I'm more curious about the current home screen.
Some people: "Come on Xbox - show us the gamez"
Also some people:
All speculations and rumors for price have been pointing to August for the last couple weeks/months
Sorry but I had to do it.
This reveal might be the biggest insult by a major gaming company in the past decade. I literally screamed "FUCK YOU" at my screen. I knew they said it wasn't going to be business of hardware but the hype they created made me think they were just going to surprise us with it anyway. Absolutely unacceptable to do this to us. Once they knew business or hardware was expected, they should've cancelled the announcement.
Good! Hopefully they've learned their lesson from their previous event and watching Sony's reveal a few weeks ago. Also hoping for actual gameplay and not just in-engine footage.
Kinda reasonable since there's still another presentation in August.
With the lockhart releasing later on instead of day and date with the series x. They can still announce it later on.
Only games is cool. There's still other events before actual release for other stuff.

??? Assume this is $500 (or your currency's equivalent) and you'll be fine. Seriously doubt MS will charge more, and if it's less buy GP or Halo
Well, that's short compared to the length of their pervious E3 events. I hope they don't have extended gameplay sections but upload them right after like Ubi. Also hope it's not just a compilation of trailers, that would be very sad.
Price reveal is likely in August. Expect the series X to be in the range of $450 to $600 with $499 being the most likely.
no he said it will be the same on XSX and Xbox one. Well, yeah they will be the same, and both will be updated.
