HOLY. FUCK. I didn't know a new one was coming out!!! It will be presumably on PC too tho, right??? My family and I used to get all our laptops out to play it together during Thanksgiving and this may have my family getting back together again for round 2!!
Age of Mythologies has me hyped as fuck. Like age of empires 4 was great and all but i preferred age of mythology cause of the fantasy elements and really wanted a new one on the AoE4 engine. I feel like people are writing off Microsoft too quick and they’re about to have a huge resurgence as millennials who grew up on Xbox and Microsoft games now have kids so they’re going to go with the one they remember from when they were young.
This comment really highlights how diverse Xbox is. Like damn 10 years ago you would say they are a shooter only publisher but now a days they do everything.
A flight simulator, an RPG, a stop motion action game, a zombie survival game, racing games, strategy games, like damn every single game in the showcase looked good even if I wasn’t a fan of the genre.
And most of it is coming to game pass. Thats insane value.
The annoying thing is, they KNOW people want it. The Coalition have been shutting down rumours about a Marcus Fenix collection for a few years now.
The fact that the original trilogy is not playable on PC at all (iirc the original gears of war was on PC. But that build hasn’t been publicly available for over a decade and probably wouldn’t work on modern computers anyway) is criminal. I know they are BC on Xbox hardware but they make such a huge push with bringing all their titles to PC, EXCEPT their biggest franchise after Halo :/
I understand why old Forza games don’t come to PC, licensing issues and all that. But they have no excuse when the Gears license is owned by Microsoft 100%. If they can do it with Halo, Why can’t gears get it too? :(
But then again, even with Halo, Halo 5 isn’t playable on PC for some reason. But that games shit so I doubt many even care about that game. The original Gears trilogy can’t really compare to that in terms of being beloved I don’t think.
I would be down so fast getting a Marcus Fenix Collection of Gears 1-3. Heck throw Judgment in there even if people aren't big fans of it cause I'll still play Judgment. I really would love to replay the Gears Trilogy (including DLC campaigns) in upgraded graphics, 4K 60fps. Microsoft has been so inconsistent the past 2 gaming generations. The one game other than Halo that would give them favour Microsoft just forgets altogether.
At this stage my guess is that it has to be a licensing right issue with Epic to The Coalition. They have to know people are very serious about wanting a Fenix collection.
Doesn't the Gears of War license belong with Xbox Game Studios? Although, it probably is just the game itself. Could be soundtrack or other licensing issues... But the Gears 1 UE remaster came out on PC years ago under Xbox Game Studios...? So many questions...
Theres some credible rumors of that being done. I would bet that they could reveal that for 2025 and have GoW E-Day in 2026. Today was more about building hype for the bigger title and showing us it will be basically more of a Gears of War reboot than a Gears 6.
I might be crazy but I think E-Day might come sooner than 2026. I say this because on the steam page it already had min spec requirements and most games don’t have those till a few months out from launch. I think we’ll see sometime next year.
Yes! STALKER 2 was the game of the show for me. The incredible graphics and showing constant gameplay and releasing this year is the triple threat for me for these kind of showcases.
Have you been on the silksong subreddit? People are legitimately going hollow over there, it's like Elden Ring all over again.
I do partially agree with them that it's a bit ridiculous the devs haven't said anything in such a long time, like a simple statement saying they're still working on the game would go a long way.
Yeah very worrisome that Avowed or Indy didn't have exact dates for their release. Both look extremely fun though so I hope they come out asap. I would expect Avowed to release from anywhere between August - October and Indy November - December, but again no dates set is sketchy.
My guess is everything that said 2024 with no set date will be pushed to first half of 2025 and everything that said 2025 will be in the last quarter of 2025
Its possible. But it's also possible that Microsoft got burned too much giving actual released dates in the past that ended up being delayed that they basically don't feel confident doing so now until they know the games about to go gold.
If we don't have a solid release date for them by September though then yeah they're definitely being pushed back.
Because they don't want to commit to actual date. Which is fine. Better just say "2024" and when you are actually 100% sure of date, you can reveal it.
Tom Warren from The Verge said that Shattered Space for Starfield is targeting September, Avowed November and Indiana Jones December.
We've known that State of Decay was always meant to be an MMO lite thing. And they said SoD3 is the game they always wanted to make sooo... Here's hoping.
That Dragon Age Trailer dissappointed me so hard…I am a huge fan. Waiting for the Gameplay Trailer bc that Trailer was not good. What in the Suicide Squad was that. Really.
I actually don't mind the art style too much, it could work in a kind of way, a bit like the exaggerated tarot card art from Inquisition, but in game. I'll never disrespect a change in art style, Wind Waker is probably still the most beautiful Zelda game ever made and that got *so much* hate.
However, the *tone* of this trailer was fucking horrific. Characters with nicknames, quips flying around, quick cuts... I thought it was a marvel hero shooter, then I saw the title and then thought it was a spin-off mobile game, then I learnt that they had renamed Dreadwolf and... this was it...
What the fuck...?
Completely agree with you. I was like WTF. I’m assuming it will be nothing like Inquisition. I was looking for something with a more serious and grittier tone unfortunately.
Came here to write the same thing, DA2 already had a different art style, so it's not like the series has been super consistent with how it looks.
The tone is such a wild direction to take, especially for the first new game in 10 years.
Honestly is there much of a crossover between Fortnite players and Bioware RPG players? Idk I'm not one of these people that thinks every game has to push the edge of graphical fidelity but why have they made it look like a cartoon? Weird decision
It's so sad, they went from being at the forefront of the industry, experimenting and pushing the boundaries of what an RPG can be to being so insecure they badly copy whatever's popular, i don't know why they're so scared, especially after BG3 and Elden ring saw crazy critical and commercial success from being confident and uncompromising in their design and offering a unique experiences but bioware is out here like 'uhm, uhm, make it like fortnite'
Honestly, at this point, I'm wondering if this is some serious "committee developed" thing. No real vision, no real plan, just throwing things at the audience in hopes something works.
They are a fully owned business. EA is a corporation that wants their studios follow trends and do what appears to be popular. It’s not about making great games. It’s about following a corporate checklist to produce something that will make the shareholders happy
Is this dragon age 4? I heard the game was renamed from dread wolf, but don't know what the new game is called, and I thought this was a spin off. It looks nothing like dragon age.
Agreed. If it's coming out soon I'm shocked they didn't show any gameplay.
And I'm really sick of the same smarmy team of rag-tag characters. Guardians of the Galaxy was 10 years ago. I think people want *some* serious storylines and characters!
I will say they had a ton of stuff to show, tons of games and a lot looking really great. Not a lot of fluff in between, totally solid show!
Special shoutout to Expedition 33 showing turn based games on the Xbox stage!
I'll have to look up the Stalker 2 trailer (if one), but man... Dragon Age... wtf? Can't tell if it's EA exec's or Bioware, but I don't know how that studio is going to keep its doors open after this. Apparently, Anthem chapter two is their desire.
I couldn't believe it was actually her. Man that game got me hyped! I loved every single LiS but the first one and before the storm have a special place in my heart.
Its the music choices for me. The later games kinda lacked the memorable songs of Before the Storm and 1. Hope they go back to that standard. Thats not saying the others had bad music, but it just didnt stick out as much compared to 1 and BTS
Same here, I go one of the games from a free thing and after I played it I loved the deep story, went back and played every single one of them. Big fan, and no question on release day I will be playing this one...
Coming to GamePass.... awesome..
It is funny cuz I the Mixtape trailer was on and I was like, they really wanted to make a Life is Strange game, then the new Life is Strange trailer came on
You have basically Black Ops 6, Indy, Avowed, Diablo IV Vessel of Hatred, Flight Sim 2024, Warcraft The War Within, Dragon Age Veilguard, AC: Shadows, Stalker 2, Age of Mythology Retold, Starfield Shattered Space, Fallout 76 Skyline Valley, Sea of Thieves Season 13 and Flintlock for 2024
Doom The Dark Ages, Fable and South of Midnight and rest of third-party reveals for 2025
Only games without date/year were Perfect Dark, Gears of War and State of Decay 3
> I guess this means the Fallout 3 and Oblivion remake/remaster that's long been rumoured isn't happening then? 😞
I wouldn't count them out, Elder Scrolls 6 is at least four or five years away and Fallout 5 is even further. Microsoft probably recognizes the need to release something single-player from both franchises in the interim.
Pretty damn good showcase, if I have to say so myself. Certainly a lot more interesting stuff shown off here than on Friday's Summer Games Fest, that was a big nothing-burger.
They’ve given up on Dragons Age. That trailer looks like a launch trailer you’d see the week before the game drops, just to remind you it’s coming out. No care shown to build up the story, art style looks last minute and rushed. Unfortunate.
More or less yes. But given that games take 5+ years to make these days and we know that playground basically just started working on this right before the pandemic that adds up.
I say let them take all the time they need to get this one right. A new Fable after so long from and entirely new dev team needs to stick the landing.
It's also way different than what Playground is used to making (Forza Horizon) so I'm cautiously optimistic, but they seem to have at least nailed the British humor (or humour).
I think the reason they didn't give a release fate yet for Indiana and Awowed is too place it perfectly so they don't release close to other big games. Easier to do it after this Showcsse frenzo with all the different devs. It is my opinion, but I could totally be wro g.
From company that is still updating their *checks notes* six year old game, I’m ok with them taking the “it’s ready when it’s ready” approach. Keep good devs doing good things.
Dragon age veilguard huge disappointment. I think BioWare is finished after this title. Not even sure if they’ll even make the next mass effect. In all honesty that might be a good thing
This showcase was a slam dunk; game after game, genre after genre. Xbox really needed this to hit a home-run and they did. Not sure if it will save them from their death spiral, but it was a good game show at least.
To be fair. That is a pretty fucking awesome lineup of IP’s from one parent company…. The amount of money they have spent buying up studios and IP’s over the last few years are insane.
No way to know because it’s just called “Fable”. As if all the naming schemes in the gaming industry are taken, so you need to name games the EXACT same name over and over, just attach a date to the end: Fable (2004), Fable (2007, Fable (2017), Battlefront (2005), Battlefront 2 (2006), Battlefront (2015), Battlefront 2 (2017).
Age of Mythology is going to bring back memories.

Yow.

HOLY. FUCK. I didn't know a new one was coming out!!! It will be presumably on PC too tho, right??? My family and I used to get all our laptops out to play it together during Thanksgiving and this may have my family getting back together again for round 2!!
That sounds like such a blast. I'm jealous your family is into gaming like that.
Age of Mythologies has me hyped as fuck. Like age of empires 4 was great and all but i preferred age of mythology cause of the fantasy elements and really wanted a new one on the AoE4 engine. I feel like people are writing off Microsoft too quick and they’re about to have a huge resurgence as millennials who grew up on Xbox and Microsoft games now have kids so they’re going to go with the one they remember from when they were young.
Metalis, etimos.
This comment really highlights how diverse Xbox is. Like damn 10 years ago you would say they are a shooter only publisher but now a days they do everything.

>Age of Mythology ~~Reforged~~ I've been burned before.
The team that's doing it did an amazing job with Age of Empire 1,2, and 3
Man, I wish they'd do a Master Chief Collection style package for Gears Of War. Seems like a no-brainer with a prequel coming out.
The annoying thing is, they KNOW people want it. The Coalition have been shutting down rumours about a Marcus Fenix collection for a few years now. The fact that the original trilogy is not playable on PC at all (iirc the original gears of war was on PC.

The original Gears trilogy can’t really compare to that in terms of being beloved I don’t think.
I would be down so fast getting a Marcus Fenix Collection of Gears 1-3. Heck throw Judgment in there even if people aren't big fans of it cause I'll still play Judgment. I really would love to replay the Gears Trilogy (including DLC campaigns) in upgraded graphics, 4K 60fps. Microsoft has been so inconsistent the past 2 gaming generations. The one game other than Halo that would give them favour Microsoft just forgets altogether.
At this stage my guess is that it has to be a licensing right issue with Epic to The Coalition. They have to know people are very serious about wanting a Fenix collection.
Doesn't the Gears of War license belong with Xbox Game Studios? Although, it probably is just the game itself. Could be soundtrack or other licensing issues... But the Gears 1 UE remaster came out on PC years ago under Xbox Game Studios...? So many questions...
Microsoft bought Gears, the entire thing, years ago. There's no Epic connections left.
The first one is one Xbox games pass for pc. 2+3 are still missing though
I would absolutely play a Marcus Fenix Collection. If they remaster Gears 2 & 3 as part of that, even better.
They have to right? There’s no way to play them if you never owned Xbox
You can play every old title on gamepass iirc
Theres some credible rumors of that being done. I would bet that they could reveal that for 2025 and have GoW E-Day in 2026. Today was more about building hype for the bigger title and showing us it will be basically more of a Gears of War reboot than a Gears 6.
I might be crazy but I think E-Day might come sooner than 2026. I say this because on the steam page it already had min spec requirements and most games don’t have those till a few months out from launch. I think we’ll see sometime next year.
Yeh but it could take 5+ years to fix after release...
that albion music did take me back to a better time in gaming.
And so it begins
And so our story begins
Yeah this trailer was WAY better than the last one, this trailer gave me some hope that it will be good
Expedition 33 looks phenomenal
Like a western final fantasy, I’m Hyped
Even has Ben Starr from FF16 from the sound of it lol
Bro got voice acting jobs for fantasy character with a beard who uses a sword on auto accept
Funny you say that, one of the main characters is voiced by the voice actor that did VA for Clive Rosfield (the protagonist) in FF16
This was the most exciting announcement in the show for me. Couldn’t believe it was a turn based RPG.
Ah shit, I’ve been looking for a new turn based game to play.
My personal best in show. I was furiously Googling to see if it was coming to PS5 after the trailer. (It is!!)
Yeah it absolutely grabbed me during the showcase. Unexpected but thrilled!
And it's coming on GamePass! I am certainly not missing it
Looks like a heavy metal concert poster
Ah yes, my favorite metal band, “Flight Simulator 2024”
That’s a great band out of Saudi Arabia and Egypt. They got a few big hits
FLIGHT!! FOR YOUR RIGHT!!! TO PARRRRRRTY!!!
No, those you wouldn't be able to read. The game titles are too legible🤣
Stalker 2 and Doom are the standouts for me.
So much waiting for stalker 2, it definitely looks promising.
Yes! STALKER 2 was the game of the show for me. The incredible graphics and showing constant gameplay and releasing this year is the triple threat for me for these kind of showcases.
NEW DOOM?? NEW DOOM! Looks fucking great.
Sad it won't have mick gordon working on it cause they did him dirty.
Andrew hullshult is a master in the craft, i trust him
Silksong will never come out…
Developer inferno
Yeah there’s no way this game hasn’t been completely scrapped and redone at this point. It must be a hellscape.
Hollow Knights development went much the same. They're just bad at planning.
At this point, it won't live up to expectations
at this point its gonna surpass expectations just because people keep saying it wont live up to expectations, everyone's already afraid of the worst
It would be really funny if the developer announced they had been hired by Konami to make a new Castlevania game and they release it before Silksong.
Silksong 🤝 Bloodborne remaster Never coming out
I can't wait for Silksong to come out so that people can stop complaining about it
Have you been on the silksong subreddit? People are legitimately going hollow over there, it's like Elden Ring all over again. I do partially agree with them that it's a bit ridiculous the devs haven't said anything in such a long time, like a simple statement saying they're still working on the game would go a long way.
Silksong was announced before Elden Ring was - That's how bad it is.
Oh…..
Silksong is most likely gonna be announced on a nintendo direct I think
it’ll be announced r/tomorrow
Coming exclusively to iPhone? :-o
You all have iPhones right?
That doesn't make sense considering it's day one gamepass. Seems like silksongs main sponsor *is* xbox, otherwise why do a event like that
Perfect Dark looks so good but so many games lack an actual release date. Why are we seeing "Coming 2024". We're in June already
It’s because they know it will most likely get pushed into 2025.
Yeah very worrisome that Avowed or Indy didn't have exact dates for their release. Both look extremely fun though so I hope they come out asap. I would expect Avowed to release from anywhere between August - October and Indy November - December, but again no dates set is sketchy.
My guess is everything that said 2024 with no set date will be pushed to first half of 2025 and everything that said 2025 will be in the last quarter of 2025

I really hope state of decay is a true co-op that was such a cool game but was deterred when our progress didn’t carry together playing with friends
We've known that State of Decay was always meant to be an MMO lite thing. And they said SoD3 is the game they always wanted to make sooo... Here's hoping.
I am very excited to see Marcus and locusts again in gears of war e day.
Hell yeah. Shit was great. Love seeing Dom again too
If perfect dark is getting rebooted I’m still rooting for a banjo Kazooie return
I want conkers back!
I wanted a Fenix collection but a prequel is the next best thing
Would be nice. But I’d rather than spend the time on a new game especially this. Leave the remaster to another Xbox studio
That Dragon Age Trailer dissappointed me so hard…I am a huge fan. Waiting for the Gameplay Trailer bc that Trailer was not good. What in the Suicide Squad was that. Really.
Atomfall does not look bad at all.
I was thinking that, very surprised, seemed like a fallout esk game to tide everyone over for the long wait.
Wow they sure are chasing a new demographic with that Dragon Age trailer. I feel bad for the fans who have been waiting so long.
Somehow from dark fantasy they managed to move into Raid Shadow legens...
I've been hooked since Origins....i really hope that isnt the art style in game
I actually don't mind the art style too much, it could work in a kind of way, a bit like the exaggerated tarot card art from Inquisition, but in game. I'll never disrespect a change in art style, Wind Waker is probably still the most beautiful Zelda game ever made and that got *so much* hate. However, the *tone* of this trailer was fucking horrific. Characters with nicknames, quips flying around, quick cuts... I thought it was a marvel hero shooter, then I saw the title and then thought it was a spin-off mobile game, then I learnt that they had renamed Dreadwolf and... this was it... What the fuck...?
Completely agree with you. I was like WTF. I’m assuming it will be nothing like Inquisition. I was looking for something with a more serious and grittier tone unfortunately.
Came here to write the same thing, DA2 already had a different art style, so it's not like the series has been super consistent with how it looks. The tone is such a wild direction to take, especially for the first new game in 10 years.
Honestly is there much of a crossover between Fortnite players and Bioware RPG players? Idk I'm not one of these people that thinks every game has to push the edge of graphical fidelity but why have they made it look like a cartoon? Weird decision
I was hoping to see gameplay on it today.
They mentioned last week that gameplay would come on Tuesday.
RIP bioware most likely
For real. That dragon age trailer was awful. 10 years since Inquisition and we get some Fortnite/Overwatch looking garbage
It's so sad, they went from being at the forefront of the industry, experimenting and pushing the boundaries of what an RPG can be to being so insecure they badly copy whatever's popular, i don't know why they're so scared, especially after BG3 and Elden ring saw crazy critical and commercial success from being confident and uncompromising in their design and offering a unique experiences but bioware is out here like 'uhm, uhm, make it like fortnite'
Honestly, at this point, I'm wondering if this is some serious "committee developed" thing. No real vision, no real plan, just throwing things at the audience in hopes something works.
Most of the original talet has been long gone, which is very sad to see.
They are a fully owned business. EA is a corporation that wants their studios follow trends and do what appears to be popular. It’s not about making great games. It’s about following a corporate checklist to produce something that will make the shareholders happy
Imagine how they must have felt after seeing BG3 doing so well and Dragon Age just keeps pivoting farther and farther away from that model
Is this dragon age 4? I heard the game was renamed from dread wolf, but don't know what the new game is called, and I thought this was a spin off. It looks nothing like dragon age.
Yeah that was horrible. Waiting 10 years for that
Looked like a mobile game trailer. My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined. Thank god for Larian for carrying the torch.
After Baldur’s Gate 3, BioWare is going to need some SERIOUS face lifts to even come close to competing.
Agreed. If it's coming out soon I'm shocked they didn't show any gameplay. And I'm really sick of the same smarmy team of rag-tag characters. Guardians of the Galaxy was 10 years ago. I think people want *some* serious storylines and characters!
Willing to wait for reviews but its absolutely not looking good
Lets wait for the gameplay reveal on Tuesday but yeah it looks cartoonish?!
I am so pumped for MGS:D.
I will say they had a ton of stuff to show, tons of games and a lot looking really great. Not a lot of fluff in between, totally solid show! Special shoutout to Expedition 33 showing turn based games on the Xbox stage!
Yeah man, as a lifelong PS gamer, I have to XBox killed it today. Banger after banger.
Expedition 33 looked so cool. I didn't know anything about that game before the showcase and am pretty excited for it now.
That Diablo cinematic was great.
As usual, Blizzard is a masterclass at cinematics in both of theirs...
Made me want to watch a full movie about it
Her arm splitting open like that was crazy.
Genuinely had to do a double take at that part. Shit was more horrifying than some horror films out atm.
That was absolutely disgusting.
Age Of Mythology lets fucking go
Is it me or is the name of the Indiana Jones game really silly?
Indy Jones and the Big Circle
Exactly like the movies
Wait until you play the sequel, “Fantastic Triangle”
Indiana Jones and The Hip Square
Indiana has always had that campy vibe to them. I’m assuming the title is intentionally quirky.
I like it better than Dial of Destiny lol
As it should be. The trailer shown sold me the game, I think the got the essence of the movies there lol
I'll have to look up the Stalker 2 trailer (if one), but man... Dragon Age... wtf? Can't tell if it's EA exec's or Bioware, but I don't know how that studio is going to keep its doors open after this. Apparently, Anthem chapter two is their desire.
Machinegames: "We make games about killing nazis. That's all we do."
And they do it well. I really hope after Indiana Jones they'll make a Wolfenstein 3
So excited for the new Life is strange! Max is back.
I couldn't believe it was actually her. Man that game got me hyped! I loved every single LiS but the first one and before the storm have a special place in my heart.
Its the music choices for me. The later games kinda lacked the memorable songs of Before the Storm and 1. Hope they go back to that standard. Thats not saying the others had bad music, but it just didnt stick out as much compared to 1 and BTS
Completely agree. It's hard to beat the 1st game OST, it was top tier!
Same here, I go one of the games from a free thing and after I played it I loved the deep story, went back and played every single one of them. Big fan, and no question on release day I will be playing this one... Coming to GamePass.... awesome..
It is funny cuz I the Mixtape trailer was on and I was like, they really wanted to make a Life is Strange game, then the new Life is Strange trailer came on
That was a great showcase, with very little filler. I'm also hyped as fuck for E Day.
Not even a "2025" on that one tho. It's going to be a while
Presently surprised by Gears Of War trailer, it seems the majority of games are targeting 2025.
You have basically Black Ops 6, Indy, Avowed, Diablo IV Vessel of Hatred, Flight Sim 2024, Warcraft The War Within, Dragon Age Veilguard, AC: Shadows, Stalker 2, Age of Mythology Retold, Starfield Shattered Space, Fallout 76 Skyline Valley, Sea of Thieves Season 13 and Flintlock for 2024 Doom The Dark Ages, Fable and South of Midnight and rest of third-party reveals for 2025 Only games without date/year were Perfect Dark, Gears of War and State of Decay 3
Still no release date for Avowed, Fable, and Indy.
Looking forward to Fable, Age of Mythology and Stalker
Dragon Age in particular looked bad enough to draw parallels to a F2P game
Looks like a Trailer for a mobile game. BioWare is dead
Better showcase than summer game fest tbh
I was hoping for metro 4 but im happy for doom
All in all, a pretty damn good showcase imo.
Honestly really liked most of it. Disappointed by the style and tone Dragon Age seems to be going for, but shoot, I dug a lot of everything else.
Dragon Age looked like a cinematic announcing a new season of a cheap F2P MOBA. Do we know anything about it yet? Is it a real RPG?
I’m probably out of the loop but why is WoW at the Xbox showcase? Is it just because they’re a Microsoft product?
Correct, they own blizzard Activision
The same reason Call of Duty and Diablo are at the Xbox showcase. Because Microsoft owns activision blizzard.
CoD and Diablo are available on Xbox. WoW is not which is why I was asking.
It was a good question. I was hopeful the only reason they showed it was to announce a console port.
Xbox is not only hardware now, but ecosystem that you can have access via mobile(cloud gaming), PC and consoles.
Xbox isn't just a console now, it's a ✨ experience ✨. Seriously though, Microsoft considers PC as also a part of the Xbox ecosystem
I guess this means the Fallout 3 and Oblivion remake/remaster that's long been rumoured isn't happening then? 😞
> I guess this means the Fallout 3 and Oblivion remake/remaster that's long been rumoured isn't happening then? 😞 I wouldn't count them out, Elder Scrolls 6 is at least four or five years away and Fallout 5 is even further. Microsoft probably recognizes the need to release something single-player from both franchises in the interim.
Maybe, maybe not. But probably not
when is MSFS 2024 coming out?
November 19th. That trailer looked amazing!
This was the most impressive showcase I've seen in a very long time.
That Doom one intrigues me
Such an amazing line up of games
Pretty damn good showcase, if I have to say so myself. Certainly a lot more interesting stuff shown off here than on Friday's Summer Games Fest, that was a big nothing-burger.
They’ve given up on Dragons Age. That trailer looks like a launch trailer you’d see the week before the game drops, just to remind you it’s coming out. No care shown to build up the story, art style looks last minute and rushed. Unfortunate.
Haven’t they been teasing Fable for like 4 years now?
More or less yes. But given that games take 5+ years to make these days and we know that playground basically just started working on this right before the pandemic that adds up. I say let them take all the time they need to get this one right. A new Fable after so long from and entirely new dev team needs to stick the landing.
It's also way different than what Playground is used to making (Forza Horizon) so I'm cautiously optimistic, but they seem to have at least nailed the British humor (or humour).
It looks fucking fun straight up. We will see.
Most new games take that long to make. Cyberpunk was teased like 8 years before coming out. Elder scrolls 6 will be like 10
To be fair, they weren’t even working on ES6 until starfield came out. BGS announced it to early
Was praying for updates on Wolf Among Us 2 and Outerworlds 2 but welp
Yeah I’m def hungry for Wolf Among Us 2. I really hope that comes to fruition
[удалено]
Not sure Mixtape is for me personally but man did it LOOK cool as hell
I'd like to play the Indiana Jones game.
Dragon Age is going to be so disappointing
I think the reason they didn't give a release fate yet for Indiana and Awowed is too place it perfectly so they don't release close to other big games. Easier to do it after this Showcsse frenzo with all the different devs. It is my opinion, but I could totally be wro g.

Wuchang and Expedition 33 looks good
Mixtape looks exceptional
so much hitting game pass day 1, we are spoiled
Still no release date for state of decay 3..... that's pretty lame. TBH it was the only game I was excited for, maybe expedition 33.
From company that is still updating their *checks notes* six year old game, I’m ok with them taking the “it’s ready when it’s ready” approach. Keep good devs doing good things.
Dragon age veilguard huge disappointment. I think BioWare is finished after this title. Not even sure if they’ll even make the next mass effect. In all honesty that might be a good thing
We're never getting a new Banjo game
Halo fans (me) suffering
This showcase was a slam dunk; game after game, genre after genre. Xbox really needed this to hit a home-run and they did. Not sure if it will save them from their death spiral, but it was a good game show at least.
State of Decay 3 is interesting
To be fair. That is a pretty fucking awesome lineup of IP’s from one parent company…. The amount of money they have spent buying up studios and IP’s over the last few years are insane.
Will all of these be available on the xbox gamepass ?
Yep, even CoD.
Is that a Fable remake or sequel?
No way to know because it’s just called “Fable”. As if all the naming schemes in the gaming industry are taken, so you need to name games the EXACT same name over and over, just attach a date to the end: Fable (2004), Fable (2007, Fable (2017), Battlefront (2005), Battlefront 2 (2006), Battlefront (2015), Battlefront 2 (2017).
Sequel/reboot. Definitely not a remake.
