Great OT. Will be good for continued discussion.

Wondering if there will be some other announcements aside from the games mentioned. Would be nice.

I think there MIGHT be a couple of things outside of these 4 main showings.
Gamepass announcements maybe?

The reveal of the next direct for Starfield?
Looking forward to the Redfall showing.

I think they'd pre-announce Starfield if it was showing up. With the layoffs it might be delayed again. Shame, I really want to see what it is and then finally have Bethesda make TES 6.

there will be for sure like 50 gamepass ads.

personally, i want to see more Redfall and Forza.
there also could be a surprise, like 5th game.

 

[thelastword]

Only thing I want to see is Forza.....25th? can't wait for the graphical tour de force that will shatter all other racers...

Great job @Exanthus

Hope you guys enjoy it.

Our Xbot cat Delivers,

good job.

Redfall should be very interesting.

I know it's a long shot, but you're going to lose one of your lives if i see a quake reveal at that show, just a 1-second clip with the quad damage power-up will do it for me.

Starfield is not in this show, they already mentioned it when they announced the show.

Starfield will have its own dedicated show at a later date.

I am really hoping that Redfall presentation doesn't end on a wet fart. I been wanting to see what this game is all about for a hot minute now. This is their chance. A surprise demo would be really nice. But IDK if you can do a demo for a game like this or if they are willing to take the risk.

I am doubtful that there will be a 5th game. That would be nice, but I don't see it happening. Then again...who knows? But they've been quite clear what's happening here so.

Excellent thread @Exanthus.

Will be at work while the showcase is happening but will watch it when I get home which should be an hour or so after the showcase ends. Looking forward to Redfall the most as the other three games aren't of any interest to me. I'm also looking forward to just seeing the format and layout of the show. If they can nail that with a few games once a quarter, im all in!!!

 

[Elder Legend]

I am also curios to see Minecraft Legends and this is coming from someone who despises the original game. The RTS part has me intrigued.

It's the most unique thing to have happened to the best selling game of all time in years, it'll definitely be interesting to see.

In celebration of the event and Arkane's next game being revealed, I would suggest folks check out their 2016 masterpiece Prey and its equally incredible Mooncrash DLC.

The entire package is on sale for just $5.99 right now.

FPS boost compatible so it runs at 60 FPS on both SX and SS.

Prey is a first-person sci-fi action game from Arkane Studios, the award-winning creators of the Dishonored franchise. Known for their creative gameplay, distinctive worlds, and immersive stories, Arkane reimagines this franchise from the ground up, with an added psychological twist. Prey...

I'm only interested in seeing Forza to see if it looks next gen, the last gameplay didn't look next gen imo

I think there will be a big Gamepass announcement. Something along the lines of a back catalogue coming to Gamepass. Don't fallout with me if I'm wrong.
