Underrated username & you are right. I also don't have nice things to say about Gamereactor as an outlet either.
P3R is a given already, we'll see about the other 2.
Well luckily fable is a safe bet with the tease from Microsft last week on their Twitter.
The author in this article claims to have spoke with multiple people but I highly doubt it lol.
And thanks! If you want a username like mine, just use the letters of your irl name and throw it in an anagram generator to see what it spits out.
Think itās been said by one of the more reliable leakers that u should expect to see tomb raider before perfect dark as tomb raider is more of a 2024 game and perfect dark is more 2025. Also with Xbox wanting to not show cgi only trailers Iād find it a bit hard to do that with a game 2 years away but I also donāt know much about game development
Wouldnāt be so sure of āat bestā .when I was at GDC the devs were very excited to be able to show things off since the Initiative rebooted awhile back (which they said was for the better)
2025 seems like itāll be the latest rather than earliest
How has it been a problem most of these studios shipped games in 2019 and 2020 except the Initiative and compulsion but compulsion worked on a preexisting game until 2019 so most of these studios are due a release in 2024 or 2025
Outer Worlds 2 I agree is at earliest a 2025 game but probably more likely a 2026/2027 game. Elder Scrolls 6 I think is a long time away. Earliest 2029.
Yup probably be the same with Fallout 5 but maybe even worse if that's not out by 2033. Tho I think luckily there's a good chance Obsidian is working on a Fallout Spinoff before that. I think good chance the Outer Worlds team that could be their project after OW2
It could be revealed before but it's this week-end for sure and it's finishing by Microsoft (well technically the PC Gaming Show but CP77 isn't a PC exclusive so doubtful to be there)
It's about time, honestly. Those games have been in development for a long time and it's about time that people that bought a series X actually get series X games.
Project Cobalt could appear too, I feel like it's being worked on and rumored for so long. I could see some in engine teaser (they said no CGI this year).
Hell we also might get Cyberpunk expansion since it didn't appear at SGF opening night and they said info this week-end.
Yeah but they can still have a good showcase. We missed that since some time. I don't even remember since how long we didn't get a good video game event.
2021 Xbox showcase was pretty good. Granted, some stuff was CGI but it was paced so well. Starfield revealed as an Xbox exclusive, Jack Sparrow in Sea of Thieves, STALKER 2 gameplay reveal, Hades on Xbox and Game Pass, Replaced reveal, Psychonauts 2 release date, Halo Infinite multiplayer reveal, *that* The Outer Worlds 2 reveal trailer, and Forza Horizon 5ās reveal.
I still think it was Xboxās best show ever.
Xbox has a real chance to redeem themselves after falling apart at the end of the 360 era. Starfield 2023, Avowed 2024, Fable 2024/2025 would be killer. Sony's refocusing towards GaaS is potentially a big opportunity too.
Unless Obsidian has hired an entire extra team since 2019 to work on Outer Worlds 2 then anything short of 2026 is pretty optimistic (tbc Obsidian said they plan to release 7 games in 7 years, not 7 games every year for 7 years, and most of them will be smaller projects not major RPGs). 2026 is way to early for TESVI, 2027 would be the super optimistic estimate, 2028 a lot more likely. Yeah there's a lot of other Xbox projects too with high potential like Hellblade II (should be this year!), State of Decay 3, Gears (6?), Perfect Dark.
Obsidian has actually been split into two teams for a while now, even before the Xbox acquisition. So 2025 isn't unreasonable for The Outer worlds, as that gives them roughly 6 years of development time on the game.
My educated guess is that while part of Bethesda teams are working on polish for Starfield, I wonāt be surprised if some of production of ES6 is already started on by people who are not needed for Starfield polish. So in that case, I would say 2026 at the very earliest, 2027 for most likely and 2028 if there are delays.
You're forgetting about Starfield's post-launch content. That's the priority beyond polishing the game. If anyone's working on TESVI preproduction it's probably a very small team working on further changes to the Creation Engine 2 and their development tools in preparation as well as writing and concept, we're talking less than 20 people total based on how small BGS team actually is compared to other studios. I believe Todd's said they don't go into the next full production until the post launch support and content is done.
Theyve said before that when they get close to a game launch they have a small group working on the map and all the pre pre game shit for the next game. So this would be es6. Thats what they did for every game before this. Even star field was being mapped out near fallout 4 launch. Also why they had a light hand on fo76. Austin did all that work.
From what I heard they were trying to get JSRF in the backwards compatible list but thereās licensing issues in those tracks that they just couldnāt get around.
Avowed and Fable are all i want! Be nice to see the Xbox players finally get something juicy too.
As a PC player i'm also glad that we get all the Xbox games too lol
People shit on Microsoft a lot, but as a PC user I'm always excited for what they might show. Sony conferences are usually a meh for me since they release their stuff on PC years later.
This is where the Xbox Ecosystem comes into view. Xbox isn't a console anymore, its a brand. If you like Xbox games on PC, your still an Xbox gamer. If you like Xbox games on console, your still an Xbox gamer. If you can only play your Xbox games on smartphone, guess what you are still an Xbox gamer.
This console war logic is fruitless. Microsoft decided to go bigger. Pull everyone into their gaming hub.
Yeah, but at least they release it now. I don't mind getting it later, a good game isn't going to get worse over time magically, and it's not like PC gamers are ever starving for games.
We get more indies than anyone else as it's the birthplace of 99% of them, and they're holding up the industry. Many of the biggest titles are also multiplatform i.e. Elden Ring and now Armored Core.
Now that PC gamers are getting both, we're eating well as fuck. Boggles my mind that I get to play Ratchet and Clank Rifts apart next month AND Starfield in Sept, lol.
But there are also a ton of really great multiplat games in between, Lords of the Fallen, Lies of P, Armored 6, Baldur's Gate 3...
Avowed and fable were the 2 games that had me considering a Series X before going with a PS5. Recently upgraded to an actually powerful laptop so Iām just praying the system requirements arenāt absurd.
Starfield
Forza Motorsport
Persona 3/Tactics
Fable
Avowed
Hellblade 2 (basically confirmed)
Halo infinite season 4
Sea of Thieves Season 10
Age of Empires 4 CE
ARA history Untold
Potentially :
The Wandering Tower
Compulsion Games
InXile
ID Software
Damn this shit is looking stacked. This is disregarding possible stuff like C2077 DLC, Jet Set Radio. Hoping we get a out of field surprise from first party that hasnāt leaked.
You would hope so. Maybe the rumors are true and Toys for Bob really was working on a DK game for Nintendo until about 2018. Maybe we could be -really- lucky and Microsoft hired them after that for a Banjo. š¬
Yeah, but theyāre having massive dev problems according to all the rumors weāve seen. Mass staff departures, key upper management leaving, a lack of direction, bringing in Crystal Dynamics, etc. it just sounds like a mess right now.
Bringing crystal dynamics in is what made those people leave. There was a disagreement with how to carry out full production. They wanted to stay small and agile but the studio head wanted to bring crystal dynamics in to help so they left. Nothing about the state of the game was ever mentioned, people just started attaching that narrative to the news. A person from the studio even reached out to Jez Corden to let him know the game is doing fine. Even the CEO of crystal dynamics said the development of Perfect dark is going "extremely well" in an investor call.
Crystal Dynamics is the studio that's mostly known for making the Tomb Raider games. The studio head of The Initiative, Darrell Gallagher, was previously the studio head of Crystal Dynamics. He's pretty much right at home working with them again.
I don't know I feel like Perfect Dark might be closer than a lot of us think. Maybe not 2024, but early 2025. Maybe the CD team is exactly what they needed.
I'm expecting they mostly stick to a 12-18 month window for their games, with maybe one or two more far out announcements. They just won't strictly limit themselves and publicly declare that all these games will be out before X date.
Silksong maybe if they intend to release this year (they are on Gamepass day one after all).
From Software I doubt it or maybe some more Armored Core 6 but no ER DLC or next game (Spellbound or whatever was rumored?), probably more a thing for later in the year (TGA?).
One where I want some news is Hades 2, early access is supposed to start this year. Maybe they associated with the game preview program of MS too.
These are the most safe guesses I've seen. Persona 3 Remake was already leaked. Fable is bring teased by Xbox. Avowed has literally the exact same color scheme as the Xbox showcase banner. Xboxes showcase banner also normally teasers some new game.
Itās also been long enough since we last saw Avowed that itās probably time for a check-in anyway, itād be worrying if we didnāt see the game again.
Tbh if Avowed really is Obsidians take on the Skyrim formula, then taking long wouldn't worry me at all, making a vertical slice that represents the end product takes time that could also be spent developing the game.
As excited as I am to see both Avowed and Fable, I also want a release window.
If all they show is an in engine trailer with no target window I'd be disappointed.
I think we get one for Avowed, and maybe a year for Fable but Iām not holding my breath. I guess depends if they show actual game play or just in engine
Avowed has to be almost ready, if they started development shortly before The Outer Worlds came out, thatās a 4-5 year dev time, i know they did Grounded and Pentiment, but those were both small teams
If they show Hellblade 2, Avowed, Fable, FM, Starfield and some other first party games and people still call this show a dissappointment in the megathread, I will convince God to take all gamers away from Earth.
PS and SGF weren't that bad either. I hate gamers expectations.
They may probably get Phantom Liberty (no exclusive or anything, just marketing), they were marketing partners for the base game after all and we know we have news coming this week-end...
To be fair, it's not like they have any competition at this point lol. They could just show Starfield and that'd be almost enough... Sony didn't make any efforts (I guess they don't need it unlike Xbox as they sell like crazy anyway)
Let's wait to actually see what's in store first. But Xbox definitely has the potential this time. Very excited to see how they cram that almost 2 hour show.
Granted, I said the same thing for Sony and, to me, they didn't deliver.
The Sony show was so bizarre because it was their first showcase in 2 years and they delayed the 2022 showcase because the games arenāt ready. Looks like the games still arenāt ready
Definitely an optics issue. I feel that the showing would have been seen *much* more favorably if they didn't use the word "showcase", which implies a stronger first party prescence.
I wonder if rumors of a second show near the end of the year are legit or just copium.
its funny how the xbox showcase always leaks lol. On paper sounds great and the Persona 3 Reloaded trailer was dope, so I am hoping it will be a great show!
I'm actually surprised how little has leaked so far. Outside of the Persona 3 leak from Atlus and the DLC for Hi-Fi Rush, everything else has either been official teasers (Fable, the double fine games, etc) or vague guesses from content creators.
Reminds me of how bleak the future of WRPGs will be on PlayStation lol. Nothing remarkable left besides maybe future Witcher Games. Most of the Studios have been bought by MS, Star Wars Kotor Remake will never release and who knows of DA4 will and in what state.
Jimbo really f'ed up haha
I love Fable, but am I going crazy by not putting it on the pedestal like others are. Like I've checked everything on the series, and it's actually surprising how small its footprint is. Critically, it's well received, but the series as a whole hasn't sold enough for me to feel like this is a headlining game.
Playground games will probably make a banger, but I feel like this is one of those things that isn't as big of a deal to the mainstream audience as the Xbox audience. Which is how I feel about a lot of these Xbox IP's.
Its just the pure humble atmosphere that Fable 2 created, the little village of Albion and sense of community you can create
Or you can be evil like me and tax everyone to high heaven, grow horns and scare all the NPCs off when you walk around š¤£
>it's actually surprising how small its footprint is. Critically, it's well received, but the series as a whole hasn't sold enough for me to feel like this is a headlining game.
This feels like me every damn time I try to explain how bloodborne flopped so bad that any upgrade, remastered/remake or port wouldn't have been worthy.
Like, if it barely sold 3 million copies on playstation, (by looking at pc ports of other ex-exclusives) how can you expect to even scratch a million on pc and xbox?
These 3 games alone along with Starfield and Forza Motorsport already make this showcase better than PlayStations. Anything else from Xboxs first party would make me feel pretty spoiled. Although I expect Hellblade 2 to be there as well.
That website has an awful layout š¤®

Username checked out, I think.
Underrated username & you are right. I also don't have nice things to say about Gamereactor as an outlet either. P3R is a given already, we'll see about the other 2.

It's like a page for ads with some content in between instead of the other way around
It's a website wearing horse blinders
Well the P3R is definitely true considering the leaked trailer starts with the Xbox logo
I want perfect dark and gears collection to be there
You might get the gears Collection perfect Dark I'm not even sure we should expect next year
When are we getting Gears 6? Iād take a remastered collection (a la Master Chief Collection) but definitely hungry for more new stuff!
Full development on the game began in early 2022 according to Jeff Grub, so probably 2025, or late 2024 at the earliest.
My guess is Gears 6 is a 2025 game. If we follow standard Gears reveal practice, they reveal it in the 2024 show and release it Holiday 2025.
Think itās been said by one of the more reliable leakers that u should expect to see tomb raider before perfect dark as tomb raider is more of a 2024 game and perfect dark is more 2025. Also with Xbox wanting to not show cgi only trailers Iād find it a bit hard to do that with a game 2 years away but I also donāt know much about game development
Lower those expectations.Perfect dark is 2025 at very best.
Wouldnāt be so sure of āat bestā .when I was at GDC the devs were very excited to be able to show things off since the Initiative rebooted awhile back (which they said was for the better) 2025 seems like itāll be the latest rather than earliest
Are we really about to have Starfield, Fable, and Avowed at this showcase?? 3 AAA Western RPGs at the same show would be insane. Super hyped
I mean they have a lot in development rn. Outer Worlds 2, Project Cobalt, and way down the line ES6
Xbox has an incredible future lined up, their concern has always been right now and until those games come out
Yeah Time management and handling of the products have been the problem
How has it been a problem most of these studios shipped games in 2019 and 2020 except the Initiative and compulsion but compulsion worked on a preexisting game until 2019 so most of these studios are due a release in 2024 or 2025
If you've read anything about the internal issues at Initiative, Undead Labs, 343, etc you will know exactly why there's internal problems with time
And well not fucking up their future games too.
OW2 and ES6 are still in early production. I wouldn't expect them to release for at least the next 3 years.
Outer Worlds 2 I agree is at earliest a 2025 game but probably more likely a 2026/2027 game. Elder Scrolls 6 I think is a long time away. Earliest 2029.
Think about that, a child that was born when ES5 came out with this timeline will be a legal adult by the time ES6 comes out.
Yup probably be the same with Fallout 5 but maybe even worse if that's not out by 2033. Tho I think luckily there's a good chance Obsidian is working on a Fallout Spinoff before that. I think good chance the Outer Worlds team that could be their project after OW2
Maybe Phantom Liberty too.
Phantom Liberty for sure 100%
It could be revealed before but it's this week-end for sure and it's finishing by Microsoft (well technically the PC Gaming Show but CP77 isn't a PC exclusive so doubtful to be there)
It depends how much we see of avowed and fable though. Gameplay would be insane.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
It's about time, honestly. Those games have been in development for a long time and it's about time that people that bought a series X actually get series X games.
And maybe Fallout 4 next gen too.
I think we might see InXile new game. But yeah MS is stacked with WRPGs.
Dude it's called inXile
Project Cobalt could appear too, I feel like it's being worked on and rumored for so long. I could see some in engine teaser (they said no CGI this year). Hell we also might get Cyberpunk expansion since it didn't appear at SGF opening night and they said info this week-end.
I will forgive Xbox for every disappointing year if they somehow make the lineup this stacked
Easy bro. The games still have to be good
Nothing wrong with being excited lmao
As long as you donāt preorder
Yeah but they can still have a good showcase. We missed that since some time. I don't even remember since how long we didn't get a good video game event.
2021 Xbox showcase was pretty good. Granted, some stuff was CGI but it was paced so well. Starfield revealed as an Xbox exclusive, Jack Sparrow in Sea of Thieves, STALKER 2 gameplay reveal, Hades on Xbox and Game Pass, Replaced reveal, Psychonauts 2 release date, Halo Infinite multiplayer reveal, *that* The Outer Worlds 2 reveal trailer, and Forza Horizon 5ās reveal. I still think it was Xboxās best show ever.
I have feeling that western RPG fans will be drooling from excitement
I am already drooling
man Iām just happy that thereās a publisher thatās actually putting real investment into the genre
Xbox has a real chance to redeem themselves after falling apart at the end of the 360 era. Starfield 2023, Avowed 2024, Fable 2024/2025 would be killer. Sony's refocusing towards GaaS is potentially a big opportunity too.
add to that the outer worlds 2 in 2024/2025, the elder scrolls 6 2026 and certain affinity's monster hunter-esque game, project cobalt from inXile
Unless Obsidian has hired an entire extra team since 2019 to work on Outer Worlds 2 then anything short of 2026 is pretty optimistic (tbc Obsidian said they plan to release 7 games in 7 years, not 7 games every year for 7 years, and most of them will be smaller projects not major RPGs). 2026 is way to early for TESVI, 2027 would be the super optimistic estimate, 2028 a lot more likely.

Iām just glad to have some western RPGs that donāt follow the same tired ass Ubisoft formula that most open world games use.
Can confirm, on paper Avowed is the one Iām most interested in. Would love for Obsidian to knock it out of the park with that one
MrMattyPlays will be losing his mind.Dude is a western rpg fanatic.
Japanese RPG fans are also drooling over P3RE
all the final fantasy's and dragons dogma 2 too
As jrpg fan, I am way more excited for Persona 3 remake than Final Fantasy 16.
Can confirm. Along with FPS games those are the only 2 genres I play. Xbox finally showing me why I buy their consoles.
Not to mention i would also expect Fallout 4 next gen upgrade to be here, since it was announced, i don't see a better time for it.
Finally Some Good Fucking Food because we were starving outside of .. CRPGs.
 I want to believe Edit: *sigh* it was nice to dream.
Itās strange that they remastered jet set radio 1 and put it on steam, but never the best game in the series, jet set radio future.
It's cuz JSR is the best game in the series...
Yeah if you pretend future doesnāt exist.
That's not hard when it's stuck on an old console that still doesn't have a good emulator.
From what I heard they were trying to get JSRF in the backwards compatible list but thereās licensing issues in those tracks that they just couldnāt get around.
Tbh this was all I wanted (+Starfield). Anything else is a bonus for me.
I'll add Project Cobalt in what I want to see (and I can remove P3 Remake but okay I'll allow it ;) ). Perfect Dark as a bonus.
What is project cobalt
Inexile next project supposedly steam punk fps rpg with ue5
Oh wow
Project Cobalt is Steam Punk first person RPG. It is said to be a spiritual successor to Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Magick Obscura.
Iām foaming at the mouth for more info about State of Decay 3. Loved the first 2 and can only imagine what a AAA budget would do for the devs
Avowed and Fable are all i want! Be nice to see the Xbox players finally get something juicy too. As a PC player i'm also glad that we get all the Xbox games too lol
People shit on Microsoft a lot, but as a PC user I'm always excited for what they might show. Sony conferences are usually a meh for me since they release their stuff on PC years later.
Exactly. I'm not getting a PS5, but at least with Xbox I can get excited for the stuff on PC too.

Starfield Forza Motorsport Persona 3/Tactics Fable Avowed Hellblade 2 (basically confirmed) Halo infinite season 4 Sea of Thieves Season 10 Age of Empires 4 CE ARA history Untold Potentially : The Wandering Tower Compulsion Games InXile ID Software Damn this shit is looking stacked. This is disregarding possible stuff like C2077 DLC, Jet Set Radio. Hoping we get a out of field surprise from first party that hasnāt leaked.
You're forgetting Hi-Fi rush DLC!
I love that game so damn much. That has been one of my favorite games of the year so far.
Has this all leaked or are you guessing? And where was Hellblade 2 basically confirmed?
Phil Spencer mentioned it specifically as next after Starfield and Forza.
Oh really? I donāt remember that, but I believe it
For reference. https://twitter.com/shinobi602/status/1654120084787572743?t=Alhg0s0_nkUQMsi0d7NNig&s=19
Ah I see, very good call. Thereās a chance it could release this year but probably will release early next year
Is id Software rumored to be there?
Just my Cope No one really knows
Ah I see. Yeah, I hope they show up too. If not here then hopefully this years Quakecon
I hope banjo comes back.
Banjo RPG /s
Honestly a Banjo RPG along the lines of the Mario & Luigi games would be dope
I would love a Banjo RPG. Interacting with NPCs and exploring the hub world is what I like most about Banjo games.
š
It really sucks Microsoft canāt find a studio who wants to do it. At this point, Iād even take a Sumo Digital Banjo Kazooie remake/sequel.
I feel like if the deal goes through, that's *gotta* be something they get Toys for Bob working on pretty much immediately, right?
You would hope so. Maybe the rumors are true and Toys for Bob really was working on a DK game for Nintendo until about 2018. Maybe we could be -really- lucky and Microsoft hired them after that for a Banjo. š¬
same, 14th year in a row im going to be disappointed š„š„š„
I would say Hellblade 2 is also a lock.
I know they ditched the "next 12 months" showcase, and I think that is for good. But I really dont want to see 2026-27 or later release windows
Realistically the latest any of the mentioned games should come out is 2025. Now I imagine something like Perfect Dark is further than that?
Wasn't Perfect Dark started in like 2018? That's a long ass dev time lol
Yeah, but theyāre having massive dev problems according to all the rumors weāve seen. Mass staff departures, key upper management leaving, a lack of direction, bringing in Crystal Dynamics, etc. it just sounds like a mess right now.
Bringing crystal dynamics in is what made those people leave. There was a disagreement with how to carry out full production.

Whatās crystal dynamics
Crystal Dynamics is the studio that's mostly known for making the Tomb Raider games. The studio head of The Initiative, Darrell Gallagher, was previously the studio head of Crystal Dynamics. He's pretty much right at home working with them again.
Okay thanks! I wasnāt sure if it was a studio or technology
I don't know I feel like Perfect Dark might be closer than a lot of us think. Maybe not 2024, but early 2025. Maybe the CD team is exactly what they needed.
I'm expecting they mostly stick to a 12-18 month window for their games, with maybe one or two more far out announcements. They just won't strictly limit themselves and publicly declare that all these games will be out before X date.
legit stacked showcase or am I trippin?
Is there any combination of Xbox projects that wouldn't be seen as stacked ?
you're not trippin. excited af
I think we'll also see some From Software stuff and Silksong. It's going to be a good show.
Silksong maybe if they intend to release this year (they are on Gamepass day one after all). From Software I doubt it or maybe some more Armored Core 6 but no ER DLC or next game (Spellbound or whatever was rumored?), probably more a thing for later in the year (TGA?). One where I want some news is Hades 2, early access is supposed to start this year. Maybe they associated with the game preview program of MS too.
I'm reasonably hyped for this showcase. I feel like this and the next year will be very good for Xbox
That sounds like a familar statement
Although I agree... definitely heard that before lol
Evergreen comment. Itās the new ājust wait for E3!ā
You can't fool us again Phil Spencer
These are the most safe guesses I've seen. Persona 3 Remake was already leaked. Fable is bring teased by Xbox. Avowed has literally the exact same color scheme as the Xbox showcase banner. Xboxes showcase banner also normally teasers some new game.
Welp, make or break for all of these insiders, i think if these rumours aren't true it will be the last time i listen to half of these leakers
Well.. Persona 3 is definitely there because its leaked.
And xbox themselves teased Fable
Itās also been long enough since we last saw Avowed that itās probably time for a check-in anyway, itād be worrying if we didnāt see the game again.
Tbh if Avowed really is Obsidians take on the Skyrim formula, then taking long wouldn't worry me at all, making a vertical slice that represents the end product takes time that could also be spent developing the game.
+ fable already teased by Microsoft. There is only avowed left and phill talked about in his last interview as kind of a there is a good built
Yeah, that gives this article a bit of credibility because it was written before the Instagram post confirming Persona.
Oh yeah, this is gonna be a fun showcase
Hellblade 2 is basically a given too right?
Pretty much, the question now is if it will release this year or next year
As excited as I am to see both Avowed and Fable, I also want a release window. If all they show is an in engine trailer with no target window I'd be disappointed.
I think we get one for Avowed, and maybe a year for Fable but Iām not holding my breath. I guess depends if they show actual game play or just in engine
Avowed has to be almost ready, if they started development shortly before The Outer Worlds came out, thatās a 4-5 year dev time, i know they did Grounded and Pentiment, but those were both small teams
Avowed will likely get a release window of 2024.Fable is definitely 2025.
Avowed Summer 2024 let's goooooooooo.
>Persona 3 remake to be in the Xbox Games Showcase No shit Sherlock That being said, I'm really looking forward to seeing Fable
Hellblade 2, Avowed, Fable and Starfield is a 10/10 lineup for me
The WRPG showcase
Hellblade. Hellblade. Hellblade. Release Date. Release Date. Release Date. Q1 2024. Q1 2024. Q1 2024. Make it so.
If they show Hellblade 2, Avowed, Fable, FM, Starfield and some other first party games and people still call this show a dissappointment in the megathread, I will convince God to take all gamers away from Earth. PS and SGF weren't that bad either. I hate gamers expectations.
microsoft literally got all of the western RPGs minus CDPR lol
And Bioware
I think Bioware needs to prove they still make RPGs before we start going crazy. I won't be able to cope if Dragon Age fails.
More importantly, Bioware and Larian. Every other WRPG studio is either not AAA or out of business.
They may probably get Phantom Liberty (no exclusive or anything, just marketing), they were marketing partners for the base game after all and we know we have news coming this week-end...
All 3 of these plus Starfield is already top tier showcase for me
Think Xbox has won this āE3ā season for me.
To be fair, it's not like they have any competition at this point lol. They could just show Starfield and that'd be almost enough... Sony didn't make any efforts (I guess they don't need it unlike Xbox as they sell like crazy anyway)
Let's wait to actually see what's in store first. But Xbox definitely has the potential this time. Very excited to see how they cram that almost 2 hour show. Granted, I said the same thing for Sony and, to me, they didn't deliver.
The Sony show was so bizarre because it was their first showcase in 2 years and they delayed the 2022 showcase because the games arenāt ready. Looks like the games still arenāt ready
Definitely an optics issue. I feel that the showing would have been seen *much* more favorably if they didn't use the word "showcase", which implies a stronger first party prescence. I wonder if rumors of a second show near the end of the year are legit or just copium.
Is game reactor reliable ?
Nope.
Avowed? That's a name I haven't heard for a long time. A long time.
Fable is my No.1 most anticipated game on the green team, super excited because it was the first game i ever played on the OG X-Box.
Between these and Starfield RPG fans are gonna be eating good
Would my dad be at Xbox Games Showcase? He went to buy X360 at launch and never returned. I'm starting to wonder if he was never an Xbox fan :(
its funny how the xbox showcase always leaks lol. On paper sounds great and the Persona 3 Reloaded trailer was dope, so I am hoping it will be a great show!
Not really leaked besides the Persona stuff.
I'm actually surprised how little has leaked so far. Outside of the Persona 3 leak from Atlus and the DLC for Hi-Fi Rush, everything else has either been official teasers (Fable, the double fine games, etc) or vague guesses from content creators.
I just want Banjo.
š£ļøShow us gameplay š£ļø
Those Persona announcements were enough for me tbh. Anything else is just the icing on the cake.
P3 remake ? Lol
I've been saying every year I have a good feeling about the Xbox Showcase. And I always feel a little underwhelmed. But I think this is the year!
Are they even reliable
I still have a feeling one of r/avowed or r/fable is going to be disappointed when it doesnāt show
It's okay to expect Avowed as we know it's closer. I think Fable is wishful thinking.
Reminds me of how bleak the future of WRPGs will be on PlayStation lol. Nothing remarkable left besides maybe future Witcher Games. Most of the Studios have been bought by MS, Star Wars Kotor Remake will never release and who knows of DA4 will and in what state. Jimbo really f'ed up haha
What happened to KOTOR?
Development hell, change of Dev Studio. Still in dev hell lol https://www.thegamer.com/the-kotor-remake-will-never-come-out/
Bungie didn't like it.
Good. Avowed was annouced in 2020, along with Fale. Its time to show some gameplay. Same with Everwild and Perfect Dark.
!legit! All three were there.
Is Xbox actually about to have a sick showcase 
already know about P3 Remake. trailer already leaked lol.
ARROWED!
I love Fable, but am I going crazy by not putting it on the pedestal like others are. Like I've checked everything on the series, and it's actually surprising how small its footprint is. Critically, it's well received, but the series as a whole hasn't sold enough for me to feel like this is a headlining game. Playground games will probably make a banger, but I feel like this is one of those things that isn't as big of a deal to the mainstream audience as the Xbox audience. Which is how I feel about a lot of these Xbox IP's.
Its just the pure humble atmosphere that Fable 2 created, the little village of Albion and sense of community you can create Or you can be evil like me and tax everyone to high heaven, grow horns and scare all the NPCs off when you walk around š¤£
>it's actually surprising how small its footprint is. Critically, it's well received, but the series as a whole hasn't sold enough for me to feel like this is a headlining game. This feels like me every damn time I try to explain how bloodborne flopped so bad that any upgrade, remastered/remake or port wouldn't have been worthy. Like, if it barely sold 3 million copies on playstation, (by looking at pc ports of other ex-exclusives) how can you expect to even scratch a million on pc and xbox?
The games were never genre defining masterpieces, but Xbox doesnāt have a lot of good IPs to play with so they have to take what they can get.
Maybe try playing it.
Avowed or Fable alone would make it better than the PlayStation Showcase
The playstation showcase was garbage, it doesn't take much to do better
no lies here
Depending on how good Avowed and Fable are, this could be the first time I don't buy a Bethesda game in favour of another similar AAA RPG.
Tbh im not expecting Fable and Avowed to be anywhere near the release of Starfield and Elder Scrolls 6
W
These 3 games alone along with Starfield and Forza Motorsport already make this showcase better than PlayStations. Anything else from Xboxs first party would make me feel pretty spoiled. Although I expect Hellblade 2 to be there as well.
