Any bold predictions ahead of Microsoft's showcase tomorrow?
Tomorrow at 1pm EST is Microsoft's summer game showcase. Anyone have any bold predictions? Praying for something that has likely no chance of being shown?
Would be great to get a discussion thread up sometime tomorrow.
Very curious to see if they mention anything about Redfall fixes/updates. On the one hand, it would be nice to see some genuine effort towards improving a blatantly subpar product. On the other, I could see them not wanting to sour the show by spending time on a widely-derided release that has already kind of been forgotten.
Everwild seems like a realistic possibility that would be exciting to see. If Silksong gets shown anywhere during this not-E3 stuff this seems like the most likely, but I'm not getting my hopes up. Zero interest in Starfield and I expect that to be their main focus.
I like Avowed's chances of showing up. I remember being really interested in the original CGI trailer back when it was announced. I think Fable is now considered likely. I think we'll see a STALKER 2 update.
For my Metroidvania homies, I hope Silksong finally gets a proper release date.
I would have made an ES6 prediction, but their statements about first party trailers not being exclusively CGI have me doubtful.
Actual bold prediction: Gears 6 or Bioshock make an appearance.
Starfield gameplay and a trailer for the new Halo Season :3
Jokes aside, my bold prediction would be a new TES6 teaser. Nothing too big to take the spotlight off Starfield, but maybe a similar teaser to the last one, but with slightly more to indicate where it's taking place and a namedrop.
A release date for Forza Motorsport would be nice. Especially if they commit to it not being another "infinite development" title like we see all the time these days.
They need strong exclusives. There has been a drought in titles for the Xbox and PC that aren't on other platforms, with only a few titles really of note for many years now.
With so many studios now owned by them, although PS5 gamers will appreciate multiplatform games and financially it makes sense, there still needs to be big hitters exclusively for Xbox that bring people to the platform.
Saw some people hoping for some news on Age of Mythology Retold, which would be great. We've seen and heard nothing since the announcement trailer a year ago.
It's hard to get excited about Microsoft's game offerings these days as it feels like it's been a while since they've had a big win on the game side of things. If a had to predict anything it would be that MS doesn't come out with anything to surprising, they keep it simple and focus on building hype for Starfield.
Which, btw, I hope turns out great both because Xbox needs a win and no game since Skyrim has scratched that same gaming itch for me, so I'm really counting on Bethesda coming through.
