Tom Warren: It’s going to be worth tuning into the Xbox Tokyo Game Show broadcast next week
- Thread starter Rychu
- Start date
I'm setting my expectations for Xbox's Japanese output realistically. A remake of LO that tightens up its QOL issues is a lot more interesting than a port of an FF remaster I already own on iOS and PC.
A sequel to LO would be better but we all know it's never happening.
Why's it so hard to understand that some people don't game on PC?
I'm a strictly console gamer with PS5 and Switch, so any news of Starfield coming to PS5 would be interesting to me. I haven't played a Bethesda RPG in a long time, but I enjoyed what I played. It would be one of those rare late ports that I would strongly consider buying.

I guess we'll see. I don't think any of the prior E3 weirdness like the platform embargo would apply to a show like TGS. At least I hope it wouldn't. Since as long as that element isn't present, it makes for a good one-two punch of "oh this got announced and is coming to xbox", "oh, they're gonna have more details about the QoL changes and such at the Atlus show"
Since remember the Sega Atlus show has to cover not just their titles, but the other stuff their localizing
They're not exactly on some pressing time limit, as far as I know. This is also an issue of nobody is actually watching the Xbox show but westerners. And yeah, if embargo, zero chance, even if it only applies westwards - something as small as a raidou remaster will be murdered in the crib if it's marketed like that. Given Unicorn Overlord's reveal trailer on Nintendo mustered more views than Metaphor did on Xbox, something niche like that needs traction on the Nintendo channel or something.
Safe bet is most, if not all, of the Final Fantasy titles that have left PS+ going on GP, with announcements of Pixel Remaster and XVI ports coming in near future. Possibly the rumours earlier in the year of Blue Dragon/Lost Odyssey Remastered being a thing are true too.
Metaphor is showing up on the PlayStation stage. Doubt that'd be happening if it was a Game Pass title. Besides, like someone else pointed out, preorders have been open for ages. Would be a bit late in the day to change it to be on GP Day One a couple of weeks before release.
They are not going to dump every single "not on Xbox yet" FF game on Xbox all at once. Be pleasantly surprised if you get the Pixel Remasters and FF16.
It's rough to read this perspective, as a fan of a dying brand (ie me being a fan of Xbox). But it makes sense.
Personally, so many games have missed Xbox lately that a stream full of ports would be almost like a dream come true for me. I'm really hoping things like 13 Sentinels, Great Ace Attorney, and FFVII / FFXVI get announced. Would make the stream worth it in my opinion.
Isnt a lot of Warren's stuff behind a paywall...maybe thats why some people dont like it.
Probably some FF news but hopefully a few surprises as well...maybe the supposed handheld might show up also.

I don't even know how you'd DO a sequel to LO, since that story wraps everything up pretty conclusively.
HOWEVER, a prequel set during the period before Kaim lost his memories would be awesome...
No, it's because of his tendency to aggravate, exaggerate and inflate Xbox news beyond what it could possibly be. There's little news in this post, it's the Asian version of "Wait for E3"

My Bingo Card for Xbox at TGS:
- Phil Spencer announces Phil Spencer will be shut down. Phil thanks Phil for his Philling all these years and wishes him well wherever he turns up. Phil introduces new Xbox CEO Bill Fencer.
- Xbox announces Tony Hawk Pro Skater will be a playable character in the Banjo Kazooie game that's just been cancelled.
- Microsoft has now acquired Concord IP from Sony.
- Microsoft announces 14th new push into Japanese market saying they can't understand why they didn't try this sooner.
- Microsoft announces new first party games coming to Switch and Playstation. Sony and Nintendo, likewise, announce nothing is coming to Xbox.

Very slowly, yes.
Would like to see something completely new in this broadcast, even if it's multi-format, instead of ports of games that have been out for a number of years at this point (although great news for Xbox fans).
Wasn't there another/second Blue Dragon game available?
I don't think that was real. They would have showed that at their summer event.
The real reason why the OG-Xbox controller (aka the Duke) was so big
Probably was about Fantasian. I'm glad this is a multiplatform release, after being a Apple Arcade game for many years it deserved be on everything platform.
I just don't see it, even though that would be a fantastic surprise. I believe some wired got crossed about Sakaguchi and Fantasian.
I'd love to see a new Phantasy Star Online introduced during another Xbox stream. Please Phil give us something better than PSO2NGS. Please tell me you met up with SEGA again and got them to make something better.
If its not personally interesting to ME then Tom Warren must be lying.
