Yeah I suspect we will. Last E3 it was 18 first party games out of the 30 shows. They should have a lot more to show now.
Wasn't it rumoured E3 is completely dead this year, no in person or even digital?
Starfield + Avowed + Perfect Dark, show me the goods
I'd also kill for a Halo: Endless announcement but it feels way too soon sadly

Well no. In 2020 it was in May and July, and there were rumours it was in May this year.
We had a 10+ page thread a few weeks back based on an article about a singular tweet with 30 likes from a random Twitter user about gyro controls. Newsworthiness is not a standard here.
I think this is going to be in the E3 programming. Phil is on the board.
They don't do Directs so until they start, I guess they'll hold on to this. I happen to like the Nintendo style presentations because they are more compact and focused. Sony's are mostly bad, but I'll take those over waiting for E3.
I truly hope so because it seems like people just want E3 to cease (for good reasons, but still).
I genuinely don't understand how someone who is apparently an Editor at a gaming news site wouldn't understand how one of the major platform holders holding a conference event wouldn't be considered news just because it's expected.
Agree.
And I'm just waiting to see State of Decay 3, I'm a man of simple desires, lol.
News to me, well I guess that makes sense a week later the new rumour is Xbox is doing E3 again. That announcement was probably enough to just expect an Xbox E3 showcase seeing as Phil is on the board so he would've shifted their plans accordingly.
I don't believe it was officially announced but apparently there was an email to developers about it. Unless something happened between then and now I believe that is what that person is referring to
Ah okay, thought I'd missed an official confirmation.
I hope they do something, or if they don't that someone else does. It's nice to get all the E3 stuff tied together in a big week.
I am absolutely shocked that MS would hold an e3 style showcase in the month of June.
Anyone could have made this report or announcement.
Give me some Starfield. Fable, and Perfect Dark trailers please. A Morrowind or Oblivion remake would also be welcomed.

It was a response to a report about a rumor started about two Xbox showcases happening in May and September. Grubb who is usually right about these things says June so thats the one
I shouldn't have said announced. It is a rumor. That's my b.
It is a bummer he won't get to demo it in front of a live audience but it is still gonna be fucking epic.
They are both hit and miss, Nintendo's seem to have a little life to them whereas State of Play's are lifeless movie trailers like we see at the Game Awards.
What I'd like to see from Xbox are more in depth gameplay, not CGI or quick snapshots. Having someone from development can help too if they are good on camera to put some passion into the game and explain things.
When you have 90 minute to 2 hour shows people start to lose interest or want to compare too much and leave some stuff often ignored. I'd rather see 3 or 4 shows a year than a 2 hour dump everything and then forget about it for a year type.
Oh.
I feel like they would have said so by now. Publishers usually take months to organize these things. Though I'm sure some like Microsoft and Nintendo we're gonna do something, regardless.
probably still too early but I would lovvveee to see an update on what direction Ninja Theory are taking with Project Mara.
I'm really doubtful quite a few of those will be shown but I reckon Starfield are Redfall are safe bets. Maybe Hellblade 2 and Project Dark too.
Was Motorsport announced already?
Nice. If Forza makes it this year Xbox will have a strong showing.
Forza Motorsport was shown off well before Forza Horizon 5 was even announced, haha. I'm pretty sure it's going to be a 2022 title.
Can't wait for the inexplicable frothing rage I can experience at seeing a CG trailer.
Honestly though, CG trailers are fine and a weird thing to get angry about. Still, some in game stuff is always cool and I am curious to see how far along some stuff is.
By "some stuff" I basically mean Fable and State of Decay 3.
