That's a lot of CGs, exclusive world premier narrations and Gamepass talk.

Was hoping for the Starfield Direct to be an hour but two hours overall including the showcase sounds good to me. As long as they eliminate that stupid 12 month format which I believe they will, I will be very happy.

What I want to see,

-I would like to see some gameplay with advanced weaponry, lasers, railguns, and particle-beam-based weapons being used.
-A short mission involving a meeting up with an alien life form.
-A look at the perk system and not some boring generic + strength to carry more load or +dex to jump higher footage
-An inventory system look at would be rather excellent.
-A look at some different companions, Robbie the robot, droids, some sort of space varment pet that can be added to your team.
-A walk around on one of the bigger ships that you can create or purchase.


What I don't want to see,

-Random idiot playing the game, slowing down the game and looking up at the scenery in trying to convince you the game is epic.
- We have over 3000 billion planets in the game and you can go to every single one of them rubbish
-There are over 4000 trillion lines of npc dialogic, and they all count (insert waffle text filler, and generic speech.)
-Only possible because of the power of XBOX, yawn.
-A twenty-minute presentation segment of how the sound development team visited the desert, banging tin-cans together etc in trying to give you that authentic space sound.
-Phil Spencer and Arron the slug Greenburg in any capacity.
-World exclusive-world premier-power of the cloud-only on XBOX- GAME PASS.

I'm done watching Starfield. I'll definitely get it on GP and then get a physical copy if it turns out good. Don't want to see everything it has to offer through these showcases.

And just give me a new Gears game and I'm good.

So if I have no interest in Stanfield, I guess the show will be very short for me? I have a feeling it will end with Starfield trailer then bleed into a full presentation under Bethesda umbrella.

Great idea to lump Starfield to stink up the whole showcase.

"We have awesome CGI to be excited for..."
Coming this year... maybe ...

I've seen enough of Starfield and Redfall, I've made up my mind on both of them and am ready to judge whatever they have next.

I think the presentation will be very similar to what Todd Howard did with Fallout 4 and Fallout 76. Some gameplay but mostly info and details. I don't see them showing a shit ton because they want those who play it to experience it themselves while playing instead of already knowing/expecting.

The presentation seems long, i think people will be really disappointed if they don't show a lot, especially come core system, game is meant to be huge, as long as they stay away from the main quest it should be more than fine.

The presentation is 30 minutes for Starfield. That's not long and is on par with what Howard did before with Fallout 4 and 76. I can see maybe one cool unique thing being shown and the rest being just info and news. We'll see exactly what they show in two more months.
